Bruce + Diddy

June 30th, 2007 by jason

Ever since I first saw Bruce Willis and Diddy show up at some MTV award show a few years ago together, I can’t help but laugh every time I see or hear about one or the other.
With Bruce Willis’s Live Free Or Die Hard opening, he’s all over the place now and it just cracks [...]

From The Archives

June 17th, 2007 by jason

A while ago one of my friends said that he was intrigued by the posts that I had in draft but hadn’t published. Unfortunately, it’s not like I was hiding them because they were so great or juicy, but instead they remained in draft because I was too lazy to publish them.
In a bit of [...]

The Window

An old film noir classic that I saw during SIFF 2006. It wasn’t as great as I hoped…

So Easy

June 17th, 2007 by jason

I started writing this in May 2005. I had much more of it written but I forgot to save and my browser crashed or I accidently opened a new site or something so I lost everything and then got discouraged about the whole post and stopped writing it…
Last summer when it was really hot out [...]

Winter Sonata (겨울연가)

June 17th, 2007 by jason

During the winter of 2006 I watched the Korean drama Winter Sonata. I had a few interesting things I was going to say, but never got around to writing them down…

Mysterious Gray Skin

June 17th, 2007 by jason

I started writing this in May 2005 as part of my ongoing reviews of the book Mysterious Skin. Unfortunately I never finished this review…
Just as a note: I’ve already finished the book. It’s absolutely amazing and has, literally, disturbed me quite a bit. Tonight I am seeing the film version, so I want to get [...]

Zizek! (take two)

June 17th, 2007 by jason

After seeing Zizek! in the theatre for a second time I had some additional thoughts I wanted to talk about, but I only got so far as writing the basic ideas down…
I watched Zizek! again last night (see my first post about Zizek! the movie) with Molly and Shannon. I gotta say that seeing it [...]

Only This Moment

June 17th, 2007 by jason

In October 2005 I was going to write about how much I love the single for Royksopp’s song “Only This Moment.” Specifically, I wasn’t a huge fan of the song at first but then the remixes on the single made me change my perspective. I didn’t even finish sentences on this post…
Isn’t it weird how [...]

The Hostile Hostel

June 17th, 2007 by jason

I saw the movie Hostel and had a bunch of things to say about it. I actually loved the film and thought that, like Eli Roth’s first movie, Cabin Fever, there was quite a bit of dark, intelligent, psychological stuff going on…
