Raven in Green again..

nothings changed the senates still corrupt & the emporer remains insane, and every day, is a new strain of slaughter, supply lines are less protected, evil on all sides, eye can smell the death on your flesh--creeping in, trapped within the twisting fingers of fear, and all eye see is ewe, that face, those eyes, burning like leprosy, eye can see u there poisoning the air, prostituing Nationalism, and eye want to attack, to rip out your heart and lay you flat on your back, and vomit a world of agony and truth into your throbbing illness of memory...and hate guides our way, eye long for the icy slap of a belt across my back, for the acceptance of death and blind cave war, the giving sleep of depression, the sweet elucidation of savage meaningless agression, chiseled in the meaty forearms of Mother Jupiter and his slave disciples, in the harem tents--outside, just beyond the edges--eye ride, a cycoptic mare in the fires of imagination. feeding my disease, a river of plagues, eye need something to remind me I'm still sinning that pain is important, that wurdz matter, that healing is possible, that eye am not alone ...in this --guard the houses--triple the watch,--Maidens, dig up your sorcery --sirens, sharpen your rocks..ewe will eat my pain again. whatever you need unite messiah ME

Man, I have so much in my head right now that it makes it so hard to type anything.

I think I'll make a list of the movies I've seen recently and maybe I'll feel compelled to write about one of them.

Dawn of the Dead
Taking Lives
Hildago
Chocolat
21 Grams
Serendipity

I saw Dawn of the Dead with B and C. That was a lot of fun. I was very surprised by how funny it was. Unlike most shitty horror (Fear.com, Darkness falls) laughs are unintention. ...These were intentional and very funny.

Taking Lives was very disappointing. Loved the Angelina and the Ethan Hawk as always, but....so predictable in every way.

Hildago was an amazing film. It had Everything and Viggo was wonderful as always. Highly recommended.

Chocolat. Another horribly boring movie that some how became herlded as Brillent. I don't get. I can't decided if Johnny Depp made it worth watching or not. It was that fucking boring. The story was cliche and predictable. One of the behind the scenes things I watched decribed it as, Unusal and cutting edge. It was none of those things. It was speaking about pushing bounderies and being an individual and fighting tradions and it was perfect example of Tradional film making...from the actors to the costumes to the sets.

21 Grams. I loved this film! This is what films like Monster's Ball, and In the Bedroom,...and Lost in Translation, ...are all trying to do and failing miserably. I can't quite put my finger on why it is successful and the others fail, all I know is that's my perception. I was put off a bit by the beginning and the telling of the story in non sequencal order....but after it ended ...I think I decided I wouldn't change a thing. It is so powerful and the performances are so good! Such a beautiful film!

Serendipity. I had been putting off watching this for a long time. but on Tuesday when I really didn't know what to do with myself and wasn't sure what I wanted to watch...I chose this, and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Yeah...it's very unrealistic, but if someone has made the decision to watch a romantic comedy they have pretty much made the decision to suspend realtity for the duration of the film. It is a very cute little movie and made for an enjoyable 90 minute distraction.
