Chip off

fat farming

finally succumbed to twister yesterday. an impending reboot/sequel, a podcast and the desire for a mindless movie were the motivating factors. wasnt quite as insipid as it might have been. what i found most laughable were the ancillary characters who existed only to give the impression of bon homie, that this rag tag bunch were constantly cheerful, a little ribald and fearless in the face of natures wrath but wholly committed to the project and had no interior life otherwise. then they beat you over the head with the nobility of their scientific pursuit of predicting tornadoes to give the common folk more time to seek shelter. they had to hammer this home by destroying part of a town and in the process nearly killing the quirky beloved auntie. she made them all steak AND eggs just hours earlier!!! 

anyway, further proof of my cognitive decline and in the interest of all americans i am bowing out of the race.

caveat emptor.

RIP Robert Towne. A lot of great work, The Last Detail is probably my favorite.

made it half way through a newly minted monthly criterion selection before succumbing to madness. which of these neo noirs caught my fancy? hint: ive never seen it before.
