THE CAPTAIN'S LOG

Pop Culture munch n crunch

Bats kick ass.... 'specially bats as fine as that christian bale character. Word.

I've seen alot of fabulous movies and a few shitty ones since last we spoke. To my delight, I've also taken in alot of raucous wrestling dvd's. I love to snack on a pop culture big mac frequently.

I finally got to see American Psycho. Fucking fabulous surprising film. I was expecting mindless gore and violence (and anxiously anticipating it) but I saw that it was a Bret Easton Ellis book, I knew I was in for a change up. I've almost finished the book, and I say, that Christian Bale is a gem. He did a wicked job of the role, just as sympathetic as the Pat Bateman in the book. And the music in the film is righteous... I picked up Phil Collin's Greatest hits, and I can't stop rockin' to Sussudio. Holy hell and heroin music, I love Phil Collins. Anyways, its a really crafty book, American Psycho, and an equally crafty movie. There are so many scenes I dig, but the part where he's chasing the hooker through his apartment building, naked bloody with a goddamn chainsaw. Fantastic. And I dig the part where he's about to off Jared Leto and he's groovin' to Huey Lewis. Fuck yea. I didn't go buy a News album though.

Saw that Tommy Cruise flick Collateral.... Shitball. The only reason I even watched it was because someone at work told me it was something unexpected, and not to be left out, I bit the hook. I feel like the hour and a half of my AND Jamie Foxx's time was wicked wasted. Predictable bullshit. The part-time cabbie who aspires to greater things, the most perceptive sociable cabbie in the fucking world... and he's Jamie Foxx's character. Or Will Smith's character. Or Denzel's character. All of those guys would suffer the stereotype of a role. I'd be pissed off because hollywood seems hella racist these days. What the fuck. In short, don't watch Collateral if you have something better to do.

I got a hold of this sweet Ric Flair wrestling legend box set. Its got like 10 of his best matches in their entirety... like old school shit like his match with ol Ricky Steamboat, The American Dream Dusty Rhodes, and crazy shit like that tuffy Terry Funk. Its tight to watch old matches because oldtimers really did things differently. The Nature Boy Slick Ric Flair is my old school hero.... stylin' and pro-filin'. Fuck Yea.

Oh and I saw a very scary flick. The Grudge is screamy-ass scary. Holy Hell! The best scary-faces I've seen since The Exorcist. The Japanese really know how to get it done, I gotta hand it to them. The plot is shit.... but those scary camera tricks really got me round the ankles. Those Japs really do some kick ass stuff for the horror genre. Top notch.

**by the way** by scary-faces, I mean the moment where the screen is flashed with some gruseome wicked scary face real quick so you piss your undies. Alot of movies today use the scary-face method. it gets boring if you don't do it creatively.

White Noise (starring a bug I found on my shoe called Michael Keaton) which is not a Japanese movie... was really lame. The movie was really strung together between scary-face moments. Some fucked up scary-face moments though, like a scene where Keaton gets his nose right up to a snowed bigscreen tv, and like 15 seconds pass until BAM!! scary-face. But its lame because you know its fucking coming and its quite snoozable in the end.

Well I gotta hit it... working out, karate and shit. You know how we do.

Signing off...

Sa Da Tay.
