I was a kaleidoscope.
Five or so things about Monsters, Inc. and, indirectly, five more things about life: a list of things often said
10. Monsters Inc. is a good little movie. Funnier, in my opinion, than Shrek. Less for the grownups, though. My disdain for Billy Crystal subsided since I could only hear him, and not see him.
9. People who eat popcorn at movies by tilting the bag back like they were fucking drinking it need to fall of the face of the planet. Now.
8. The kids behind us made it clear that they were only at the movie to "see the Star Wars trailer". When the preview appeared to not be happening, one of them yelled out "Oh what the fuck!" (Remember, this is at a G rated, "Kids" movie). I hated them from the getgo, but was vindicated when the "trailer" was actually a 30 second clip of mostly black screen with writing on it. After it was over, I chuckled loudly, as did most of the people around them. Suckers.
7. The little girl in the movie, Boo, has top five cutest voices all time. Rounding out the list: Nina Person of the Cardigans; Ryan; Timmy from Passions; and Sarah, the former mail-order girl extrodinaire from
Lumberjack Distro. Marcie will vouch for me on that one.
6. The Royal Tenenbaums. I saw the trailer again. Good god it's gon' be good.
5. Running into students at the movies can be fun.
4. I am officially a student teacher. Wow.
3. George Lucas must die.
2. People who wait in long lines to see movies on opening night are either suckers or have young kids. We went to the 9:30, and the theatre was half full. THe 7:30? Full of people.
1. The new Sparklehorse record is fucking outstanding.
Monsters Inc gets an A-. The kids behind us get an Incomplete. People who drink popcorn get a frown.
Mast Fatt makes me laugh. Out loud. In front of large groups of otherwise silent people, trying to type term papers or que-ev***1*** it is that the business majors of the world do. I think Bob was a business major, so ask him.
Speaking of Bob, kudos on the inclusion of Gene on the list. Not many people appreciate the gobble-d goodness of those fine English lads. When I was in high school, I saw Third Eye Blind OPEN for Gene on a Tuesday night. They were just starting to get big, so the crowd was half there for Gene and the other half 3EB. I must interject here that I quite like the Blind's first LP, or at least some of it. Not a guilty pleasure, a pleasure.
So 3EB***2*** play second and the entire time they play this big wad of people at the front of the stage is yelling "GENE! GENE! GENE!" and that asshole singer from 3EB is getting pissed and he finally yells out, "NOBODY FUCKING CARES ABOUT GENE! YOU'RE ALL HERE TO SEE US!" and later "TOO BAD MOST OF CHICAGO SUCKS SO BAD, OR WE'D DO AN ENCORE!". He was then pelted by a plastic cup. My friend Tim, everytime he sees me, still yells "GENE! GENE!" in whiny voice.
Purchased today: Stereophonics "just enough education to get by"; Bruce Springsteen "Darkness on the Edge of Town"
Next five: "your love, it lies" by gene; "badlands" by the boss; "Take care" by big star; "gold days" by sparklehorse; and "shit, man, if I wanted you to talk I would have said something to the effect of 'say something, dushbag'" by lois and lane and the boyz.
in the stereo: "adam raised a cain" by the boss
***1***Me trying to be like Mast and inventing a new word. Spanish for What (Que)+the shortening of ever (ev)=Que-ev.
***2***Isn't it interesting that I, one who ridicules the use of spoken shortening of band names, so frequently shorten said band's names in print...
***3***and by kids I mean college aged, and by us I mean the Ry and I
