I have just finished watching the Joe Strummer’s movie. I found it quite interesting though the movie was an odd life resumé (oddly oriented on how Joe felt throughout his life… yet without being too sappy about it).

It also made me feel, less alone in my angst against nothing. It also made me understand that I should stop worrying about not having done much with my youth and that I haven’t done what all I have wanted.As a friend once told me: “I look like I’m always one step behind you? I’m just building momentum to overpass you.”

Stop running after time. Who cares what your age is.
What really matters is what you do.
If you take more time to get somewhere then some others, then so be it. Enjoy the ride.

After watching Juno this weekend, I was day dreaming of what the perfect women would be.

Here’s what I took:

My perfect woman would be…

A little Juno and a little clementine (and she’d get both of those two movie refferences). She’ll stun me with her lips first and her appearance second. She’ll outsmart me, and i’ll love it (but probably won’t fully admit it). She’ll look as stunning with morning breath as she will when she’s ready to party like it’s 1939. She will be young yet mature beyond her age. But she’ll also be a sarcastic little brat to keep idiots at bay. She’ll be respectful and passionnate about the slightest details. She’ll know I hate it when she’s late, so she’ll show up 5 minutes early and hide just to see my reaction. She’ll make me smile and laugh when I get too serious about stupid stuff. She’ll hold my hand and look deep in my eyes when I get anxious. She won’t have to say I love you, I’d know it. She would fight for me, without thinking everybody’s a contender.

That’s all I got for now!

I’m going to pick this place up a bit again. It’s too dead, that’s no cool!

I think i’ll never say thanks enough to Guillaume for my new love:

Six String Samurai

I just finished watching it about 15 minutes ago, and I already have bought the comic book made about it (or vice-versa… who cares). I’m a big fan of well-produced hard labored B-movies, and i’ll tell you, this is the new king.

I was kind of tired of have my good old Evil Dead in the top chart, well it just got bumped by Six String Samurai. To put it in a couple of words; It really, rock. Rockabilly style.. Everything is almost perfect. Excellent acting, AMAZING music choice (The Red Elvises, i’m downloading their Cd’s right now), Samurai, 50’s Buddy-holly lookalike and post-nuclear vibe? Can’t get better then this.

The main character is fucking great. From the suit to the guitar and the shoes (“Hey, nice shoes.”), everything is right on the spot for a rockabilly king. The acting is almost perfect (the attitude is just right on) and the fighting is really good (you’d actually believe the guy knew how to fight). Well, the guitar playing seemed a tad fake but hey ! he looks damned good! And the bad guy is just perfecly cheezy.

The low points are most definately the gruntings of the kid (thought not SUPER annoying… it’s still a tad bad.), the voice over (lips don’t always match and the voice seems low-key a bit…) and that the story seems a tad thin and that some characters are not used to their full potential (the nuclear family that looks cannibal-ish/zombie would’ve added much more to the movie with their presence).

I’ll try to cut this short (since my movie partner’s already drooling on my bed), I loved every second of it. I’m highly dissapointed that the director/write didn’t seem to do much else (the main actor only did kung-fu movies before that ! Hahaha).

MAL’s score?

Acting: 9/10
Music: 9/10
Film-style (camera angles and such): 8/10
Originality: 12/10
Re-watch value: 7/10
One-liners: 8/10 (still not quite Evil dead’s oneliner… but close)

Overall:

9/10

Sweet-ass rockabilly shoes.

“You’ll be like fuck you! and kick her in the face!”

funny shit:

And here’s the preview from the next game (though not done with the same great compagny )
