I'd rather 50 Shades of Grey had starred Danny Trejo as Grey who could be sold as "intimidating" and to see him play such a character.

The chick could be Emma Watson who is beautiful but has a sort of averageness about her.

It should have been directed by Michael Bay...possibly Michael Mann...with Roger Deakins on cinematography and John Williams on score.

I have given my opinions.
Since Machete Kills didn't make enough money for Machete Kills Again....In Space! to get made, it should just get made and released using "50 Shades Of Grey" as the title. It would be one hell of a bait and switch.

Also 50 Shades looks way worse than Twilight if only because it looks so god damned boring.

Fortunately Bank of America is letting me do hell of chargebacks, but I have a feeling I'm banned from a lot of Illinois truck stops.

(Not that it matters, since I live in Texas.)

Also, Rageaholic, anything interesting going on in NOLA this weekend? I'm taking a trip down there tomorrow night through Tuesday morning and neither I nor SALT CURES VAG know enough about the lay of the land to plan anything.

Oh gently caress that version of Mad World. I had a roommate who would take hour-long naps with that song on loop, and I've never felt closer to murdering someone than that.

New Wave ska covers are a thing I am numb to at this point. Also ska covers of Centerfold.


Unironically love that Hungry Like A Wolf cover. Also by that point the Hippos were barely ska.

Uh, excuse you, I believe in the trailer Grey states that his tastes "are very singular" and that you "wouldn't understand them." No way that's gonna be tame, right?

Right?

Hmm, not that I know of. I checked an event calendar site and there's a Pink Floyd tribute show with visuals and lasers at the House of Blues tomorrow night. Sucks that you're leaving Tuesday. There's a bounce show at Republic on Thursday night with Big Freedia, Sissy Nobby, DJ Jubilee and more.

There's a Lebowski-themed bar in Reykjavik, Iceland called Lebowski Bar (FreudianSlippers probably knows about this) and I went there when I visited Reykjavik and as soon as I walked in I heard Creedence.

Slice of life: The Ohio State University band director was fired today for allowing hazing and sexual harassment on a ludicrous scale.

In the footnotes to the case is the tale of a girl who was sexually assaulted (the note says "harassed" but that's just because she didn't press charged) and then, when she reported it, he tried to remove her from the band. This violated various title 9 codes and could have led to legal action.

That girl is my oldest niece.

gently caress that guy. I hope he never works again.

I'm so glad she gets some vindication. She was calling to poetic justice today and I couldn't be prouder of her.

There was more space footage, but they're still trying to keep stuff under wraps, we saw a trailer that's gonna premiere in a few months, nothing more. Based on that trailer though, I can say that the script leak we all read in the thread is probably real.

Also also, TMNT looks like a hell of a lot of fun.

Watch Parallax View and Rambo. Also Cinderella Liberty wasn't bad. I briefly tried to watch every movie set in Seattle, but got burnt out. Oh yeah Singles is pretty good too.

It's set in Seattle because Twilight was set in Forks, Washington. Forks was previously known for huge fights between loggers and environmentalists who thought it might be cool if we didn't kill every single spotted owl.
