First I'll confess, I watched it. I sought it out, found it, purchased it, defended it, lied about it and finally watched it. JCVD, no, it's not J.Christ Venereal disease. John-Claude Van fucking Damme. It's far from bad. It's good. I mean really good. Not quite as good as your first slow dance to Journey when you were at the 7th grade homecoming dance, but don't stop believing. I'll admit their are long moments of over the top pretentiousness, despite their apparent brutal honesty/self-deprecation, aside, JCVD CAN act. I wrote it. It's written. Therefore it is. So sayeth Me.
Other movies to look for in the New Release secition: Synecdoche, NY, Burn After Reading, The Wrestler and Benjamin Button. If you haven't seen other Darren Aronofsky films, see them. Same can be said for films Charlie Kaufman has written.
On a side note. Chad Fox pitched tonight. Chad Fox should be given every legal right to shank Dusty Baker (Baseball manager, currently with the Cincinnati Reds.) Steps should be taken and laws bent for such an occurrence to, well, occur. I'm talking shank with the jagged metal from a broken bunk bed in cell block six after a particularly rousing game of "who's the bitch." Dusty deserves it.
I could write about how much I hate Dusty Baker, for well, for longer than I should admit to. Players may love him, but let's be honest. How many good players make great coaches? If you answered yes, you may also be entertained by the ESPN Sunday Night Telecast featuring such baseball guru's as Joe Morgan, John Miller and Steve Philips. Leave here now, my words aren't for you. I'll wait while you navigate away and hopefully drown in the Interweb.
So, if only three people read this, should I just direct it at you? What up Trav, fucking stretch before softball, you ain't no spring chicken. DY, glad to hear about the karate sensei position. E, Cubs win, so you can sing your song.
I am now employed, so the procrastination thing aside, I may write more. I'm gonna be bartending at a sports bar near the Tigers Single A affiliate here in Grapids. To sum up the clientele, well, there's Keno and sleeves seem to be optional. This may be the best job I've had in three years. That seems much sadder than it should.
JCVD, yeah, I said it, I stole your momma's credit, and I'll sock you in the stomach three more times...
