Hugh F#$*king Jackman

There's something wrong with the world today and I don't know what it is.

Well actually I do know what it is: It's the fact the Hugh Jackman is in the top 3 movies I want to see. These movies are the following:

The Prestige: Victorian England two magicians (Jackman and Bale) compete against one another in this Christopher Nolan film. They do some crazy magic shit, Scarlett Johanson and Micheal Caine are also in it, but best of all David Bowie plays actual historical figure Nikola Tesla.
Scoop: Woody Allen's new film, need I say more. Scarlett Johanson is in it also, I think her and Woody investigate a Tarot Card serial killer played by Hugh Jackman, comedic hijinks ensues.
The Fountain: The new Darren Aronofsky film, in which Jackman is some type of immortal who keeps trying to save his wife from dying in exotic time periods, such as Spain 1700, Modern day and fuck knows when in the future. Needless to say comedic hijinks ensues... well actually I hope not.

Anyway it's not that I hate Hugh Jackman, Hell I love X-men 2, but I don't know if I need to see him in every fucking movie this fall, he's going to pull a Jude Law and force me to hate him because I am sure not all of these movies will be good. He's walking a fine line...

Must it be? It must be!

It must be. I think there are two people in this world, those who think they are cool, and those who have read "the Unbearable Lightness of Being," and know they are cool. I think in the last part of the twentieth century it was the defining book. Both philisophical and literally beautifull, it conveys a message that becomes continually more valid as time progresses, creating both ideas that stick in your head long after you read the novel and questions about how exactly you should go about living your life in the enlightened age. Veritable guidelines for free thinkers and those smart enought to read it.

But can you fake it, for just one more show?

I feel like I am in crazy land sometimes. It seems weird that no one else hears the similarities both lyrically and musically in the songs "Cry Baby Cry" off the Beatles' White Album and the song Stumbeline off the Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness album. I mean the songs are so close like it some type of Coragan homage, but whenever I mention this too anyone they dismiss it like I'm some kind of schizophrenic John Nash theorist, but it's true Jaheseus Christ it's true!

Why I don't hate Rachel McAdams

I was watching some T.V. and I noticed that in the movie "The Family Stone" Rachel McAdams was wearing a Dinosaur Jr. T-shirt. I thought this was awesome, an actress who is not only attractive but likes good alternative music (not shit like the Killers and Coldplay). I mean I wouldn't be surprised if she liked New Order or Radiohead, but Dinosaur Jr. isn't chick friendly melodic rock, it's got a serious edge too it, implying that Rachel herself has an edge. I also heard rumors that she went to some of there live shows, proving that it isn't only a wardrobe coincidence. From now on she is officially cool in my books, which isn't an easy feat. Now all I have to do is run over her boyfriend with my car.

In the time of my ruin

So my mom came into my room today to drop off some ironed shirts and I was playing the New Frank Black CD, "Fast Man, Raider Man," and she says "Who is this? I quite like it" and I burst out into laughter and say, "you obviously aren't listening to the lyrics." The song playing was "If your poison gets you." Priceless, my mom thinks she likes Frank Black!
