Something Old, Something New

After a year of waiting I finally got to see this movie. Anvil: The Story of Anvil . If you are lucky you will get a chance to see this film. Relying most on buzz and their small scale distrubution this film is killing everywhere. I could keep talking but I think at this point you should probably just watch the trailer . This trailer is cool but after watching this film I have come to the conclusion anyone who has been or is currently in a band should watch this. Being in a band is bigger than a romantic relationship (as it is so often compared). When you break up with someone you hard hurt (some destroyed) but chances are you'll find someone new. For many people when their band breaks up, that is it. Rockin on stage is a drug that can't be replaced. Sometimes you care if the crowd is into it but mostly you just want to rock. This film embodies that idea. These two guys are so addicted they don't listen to the hoards of people around them who say their dream is

My official statement on the Dark Knight: Whoa. That movie was so good it was just a whoa. To quote Wesley Willis it was a freak out hell ride to the max. The few parts where the pace slowed were still so tense that it was hard to breathe some times. Now I know a lot of people are saying it but I have to agree; Heath Ledger deserves an oscar. I don't think any charactor has been played that intensely. NOT A SINGLE ONE.

I depise 10 Things I Hate About You and Knights Tale is barely watchable, but after his performance in this and Brokeback Mountain, I'm actually feeling a little upset that we only get to see Heath one more time. It's obvious he was really starting to feel his craft, and throw himself into charactors in a way that few have before. (Pacino in Godfather and Godfather two,

You're the Pretender!

What if I say I will never surrender? yeah! How do you like them apples. I really dig this new Foo's single. I'm not daft or anything. I mean it's not anything new really. It's loud, quiet, loud, quiet, loud, loud. That's Dave Grohl writing style. It hasn't gotten old with me yet. I mean the songs that rock, they rock my toe nails off. Beanbag made sure to let me know he already has their album. If you know anything about me know that I hate get albums before their actual release date. I love the feeling of buying an album, ripping off the plastic and rockin it in my 'rolla on the drive home. Last Thursday I started my new job @ KPIX CBS 5 . I feel like a weight is slowly being lifted off my shoulders. I am finally on path to starting a career in the broadcast field. KPIX is great. I may only be pulling tapes, running, prompter and minor editing work right now but I don't care. There is a lot to learn and everyone I have talked with there seems willing t
