Rent

WARNING: RENT, THE MOVIE, IS A MUSICAL. THOSE WITH ALLERGIES TO MUSICALS MAY EXPERIENCE ADVERSE REACTION.

So yeah I'm not exactly one for the musical theater. I thought the Rent movie would be a movie. I was wrong. It's a musical. It was a cool musical but still it is a musical. People feel the need to sing at eachother. Beware.

Broadcast

Broadcast was pretty good. They had this cool background thing going on where among other things images that looked like they were from 1970s high school chemistry films were being projected behind them. Their shadows would show up over top of that for a cool effect...you know the kind of thing I'm talking about. Anyway they really reminded me of the people that introuced me to that kind of music and took me back and stuff. Good times.

Capote

Capote was good but prolly woulda been better if I was a Capote fan. This is totally not a book review blog. I read the news. Books are for vacations. In the comming months this may turn into a news blah blah blog but well whatever.

But anyway the ending to Capote was sad / touching / moving and stuff.

You should check it out.

Not the best movie of all time but worth seeing for sure

The limit as Death Cab approaches Sell Out

I'm truly sorry to say this but well Death Cab now has all the atributes of being Sold Out. They have a major label record. But this is not the major problem. The problem is the younglings that now show up at their shows. I was fortunate enough to see them play last week with Stars opening up. What a friggin bill, right? Stars opening for Death Cab. How could that go wrong? Six eeevil high school girls show up and proceed to scream / giggle / be way too into themselves right behind me during Stars' set. Don't get me wrong- screaming "Whooooo!!!" when they play your favorite song is not a bad thing. I do it all the time. However, screaming about what boy you spilled your milk on and other such nonesense while other people are trying to listen to the band is a crime that should be punishable by ejection. The other people around me were pretty cool...first this dude standing next to me turned around and gave them the nastiest glare ever. Next, between songs I turned and shouted at them "could you please keep it to a dull roar while the band is actually playing?" Still they continued. The dude said something to them next and luckily for us they weren't standing behind us while Death Cab played.

Don't get me wrong, I still love their music and think they're swell people but this is probably the last show of theirs I go to. There is a price for success and it is the alienation of the old fans by the newer, stupider ones.

And that's my two cents.
