Nov. 2005 -
Yeah, between the inappropriate comments tonight, I picked up Ikiru, an Akira Kurosawa film that I've been coveting for a while. It looks like a really good film about a pencil pusher dying of cancer. I am slowly, but surely, filling out my Kurosawa collection. I'm drooling for the Criterion Collection edition of Ran coming out next month.
I also picked up a Halloween shirt. It's probably bad that one of my role models is the embodiment of pure evil, but it's Michael Fuckin' Myers. C'mon. Not only is he the baddest of the bad, he's got a great (but sick) sense of humor. Look no further than the scene in the first film where he puts on a sheet and a victim's pair of glasses to get to Ms. Totally (Linda). That's some funny shit.
Now it's off to a quick set with some weights. Hoo-rah.
About Me
- ~P!
- Well,I have to start with literature, obviously. I enjoy studying the macabre, the subversive, and the awesome. I've been rapidly getting into literary critical theory, but don't worry, I'm not a philosofucker. Yet. In terms of theory, I tend to focus on identity and power politics (Foucault for hegemony and Butler for gender) and Derrida's de-construction. I'm also a huge fan of film, with interests ranging from horror movies to animation (Looney Tunes!) to action films to the films of Akira Kurosawa, Guillermo Del Toro, and Jean Renoir. I'm full of useless knowledge about pop culture, I love tattoos, I get a kick out of history, and I'm brave enough to admit I have man-crush on Kurt Russel. I wouldn't have sex with Kurt Russel, but if my (hypothetical) girlfriend had sex with him, I'd be like "Details!" I stole that line from a stand-up comedian because I watch insane amounts of stand-up. And pro-wrestling. And the Food Network.
