The Campaign :: Film :: Roach :: 2012 :: I’ll be honest, as the movie started I was already annoyed that Will Ferrell again resorted to playing the buffoon, A.K.A. Ron Burgundy, except now his name was Cam Brady and he has been an unchallenged four-term Democratic US Representative from North Carolina. In struts (I use that term very lightly) Zach Galifianakis. “It’s a...

Ahh, the Kurtfest Afterglow, only apparent after rinsing off the Kurtfest Patina in a long, warm shower. Now onto smaller, saner, more regular things. Like zombies in Duluth with Mayor Ness.

:: Another Song of a Fool This great purple butterfly, In the prison of my hands, Has a learning in his eye Not a poor fool understands. Once he lived a schoolmaster With a stark, denying look; A string of scholars went in fear Of his great birch and his great book. Like the clangour of a bell, Sweet and harsh, harsh and sweet. That is how he learnt so well To take the roses for his meat.

In Bruges :: Film :: McDonagh :: 2008 :: Two witty hitmen are sent to Bruges after a job goes wrong. Not the most original setup I’ve heard (Where the fuck is Bruges, anyway?), but this film has a lot of surprises in store (It’s in Belgium). As the film progresses, you hear little bits about what exactly went wrong, and how it has been affecting these two. You can tell that it was bad,...

:: When that I was and a little tiny boy When that I was and a little tiny boy, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, A foolish thing was but a toy, For the rain it raineth every day. But when I came to man’s estate, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, ’Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate, For the rain it raineth every day. But when I came, alas! to wive, With hey, ho, the wind and...

Changes, big and small. Tired, tired body and another sleepless day for a night spent awake. Persistence pays off, things fall apart and back together into something new. First, entropy. Then, a new star.

Serenity :: Film :: Whedon :: 2005 :: This movie was my introduction to the Firefly series. From the first scene of Mal walking through the ship, I was immediately taken in. What a great set, and a colorful cast of characters. There is something to love in every one of them. After watching the TV series, I felt even more attached to them, making it a bittersweet end to a phenomenal and imaginative...

The Dark Knight Rises :: Film :: Nolan :: 2012 :: While not as deep as the previous movie, The Dark Knight Rises manages to be an immensely satisfying conclusion to this gritty trilogy. I was riveted from the impressive opening scenes until the end, with Nolan skillfully baiting me along not with plot points, but with interesting characters brought to life by an all-star cast that I actually felt...

:: entropy because it takes work to keep things together, things fall apart. an atom wanders the cosmos for an epoch, bonding with another for a short while. that molecule, freely swimming in a soup of such things, bonds with another for a short while. that cell, independent but dependent, grows and finds a place and some comfort in the darkness of some larger organism. that organism, thinking it...
