I've found the secret to happiness is trying to never think about Shane MacGowan's life in any fashion.

The documentary about him is good, depressing, but good. It has a great line from Nick Cave where he says something along the line of "I realized that I needed to stop doing drugs or I would destroy my life, Shane never realized that."

Apparently The Interview is coming out on Christmas, I'm trying to calculate how hard it will be to convince my parents that should be our Christmas movie. Hopefully they'll see the new Hobbit before I go home.

Trip report: Donnie Darko: the Director's Cut would be pretty decent modification to the film if the dude who made it didn't decide to add science-fictiony stuff in a few places. The film works better when it's more fantastical.

Unrelated slice of life: why must the meat I love the most (turkey) be the most likely to get stuck between my teeth? Pretty sure I've got it all out, but I ripped the poo poo out of my gums in the process.

That's the turkey's way of getting you to not eat it.

Cave was only recently clean at the time, too -- that's the thing that gets me. His sober soul was basically a newborn and he basically said that Shane scared him into sobriety.

I watched Kill List tonight. It was pretty rad when it was just two hitman bros offing people together, but I didn't dig the supernatural stuff, which felt really out of place in a movie like this, and then it went and ended like A Serbian Film and all I could do was laugh and laugh and struggle to form words about that.

Sometimes I get disillusioned with the idea that a film can actually be, in any way, "good" or "bad" and maybe they just kind of are what they are and whether or not you respond to it is all that matters. There is no objective good.

And then my friend suckers me into watching God's Not Dead and I realize, no, there really are just terrible movies, and this is one of them.

Unlike God's Not Dead, Only God Forgives owns.

God's Not Dead has Asian characters too, but it's this accented college Chinese kid who at orientation is irritated that someone doesn't know what PRC stands for ("Sorry, PRC?" "PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA!"). He is so enthralled by the main character's pro-God presentations that he calls his Chinese Business Dad, who's always in the backseat of a limo, who says poo poo like "There is no time for God! Only business!" or something and in the end he tells the main character with a heavy chinese accent "I follow Jesus now!" and then they go to a Christian rock concert.

This is easily not even close to being one of the worst parts of the film. Holy fuckin' moly.

More like 50%, but more importantly, let's not pretend as if anybody cares about that 50%. It's a bogus way to frame the issue, because nobody is listening to post-1980 Rolling Stones. If they had broken up after Some Girls, they wouldn't be any better or worse of a band.
