Misc. Thoughts
Oct. 6th, 2005 11:32 pm1.) So my mother has adopted a hurricane Katrina dog. I really do have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, duh, that's an incredibly noble move on her part. On the other hand, this woman has been making up for her inability to have children by getting a new animal every two-three years. She bought a fucking parrot-type bird and stuck in in my grandmother's room to let her take care of it, for God's sake. I just feel like the hurricane gave her the excuse of charity to get another damn dog. The dog herself is very shy and scared, rather big, and thank god is unable to bark or vocalize at all.
2.) George Romero, zombie master, compares my main man Bub to Land of the Dead's Big Daddy: "In my mind the character of Bub in Day of the Dead was more advanced than Big Daddy in Land of the Dead. I mean, the cat almost spoke! I didn’t think it was a great leap. It’s amazing, you know, when people say "Wow, all of a sudden your zombies have character and organisation" and I think Bub was the perfect introduction to that. Big Daddy is, I think, maybe a little dumber than Bub was even. But he’s a strong presence. I tried to indicate by making him African American that I was switching allegiances and we should like this guy. He just has star quality. Where Bub was imitating the scientist who was trying to "tame" him, now other zombies are imitating Big Daddy’s actions and he’s almost teaching them and that makes them a bit more dangerous."
3.) X-MEN LEGENDS is kind of a lame game. It's kind of everything I hate about X-Men wrapped up in a video game. Wolverine is the annoying stereotype of his character: "Mind if I... CUT in?!?!" Cyclops is everything that everyone who hates Cyclops (i.e., most people, sad to say) say he is. *I* want to smack him. The hacks who write the dialog don't deserve Patrick Stewart doing a voice. Fuck, they don't even deserve Lou Diamond Phillips playing Forge!!! This is a far cry from the brilliance that is HULK: UNTIMATE DESTRUCTON.
4.) Now I just sorta feel like quoting Spider Jerusalem, the Hunter S. Thompson of the future:
When I lived in this city, I was considered an Eligible Bachelor. Women would hurl themselves at me without my having to drug them first.
But now I am Old. Pieces of my body are moving around. I am no longer Pretty. Gravity tugs at my ass, my paunch, and my painfully heavy testicles. I have not had sex in more than three years. When I do finally torture, medicate, or hypnotize someone into manipulating my bits, the police will find our remains blasted into the walls by ballistic semen.
And I am forced to suffer this in a city where I can fall in love eighty times a day just by stepping out on to the street and opening my eyes.
You will all pay.
