On the flip side I finally saw the preview for the new Halloween and that looks awesome. I am 100% behind crazy old lady Laurie hearing Michael is back, grabbing a gun and going "Good, this motherfucker is going to die"

Yeah the new Halloween looks great, but I'm also a sucker for any (non Rob Zombie) Halloween movie so I'd probably have gone to see it anyway. The fact it looks good is just a bonus!

From all accounts, they're completely disregarding the whole "Michael Myers and Laurie Strode are siblings" thing as established in previous movies, too. They wanted to make it as direct a sequel to the original Halloween as possible.

There is a bit in the trailer where some teenagers are talking, one of them says "Aren't they brother and sister?" and another goes "That's a myth"

Some exec looked at the old Teen Titans material and said "well it has horny kids in a T shaped building facepunching literally Satan but it needs an edge" and the writer's pit responding with that trailer. I laughed at "gently caress BATMAN" for a whole day. Anything that brings me that kinda joy in this hellworld is worth a few bucks. coconono fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Jul 23, 2018 |

On a related note, the kiddo has decided she wants to watch all the Friday the 13th movies in order of release because she really wants to see Freddy vs. Jason and wants to make sure she knows all the backstory. I am not making this up. We watched the original the other night...and she was SO pissed that Jason wasn't the killer. She kept yelling "WHERE'S THE HOCKEY MASK COBI, WHERE'S THE HOCKEY MASK?!?" We're watching Part 2 when she gets back from summer camp in two weeks.

I was skeptical about the standalone Aquaman film, given that DC's cinematic universe was previously handled by a Randian fanboy with a grimdark aesthetic fetish. But after watching the trailer, I'm actually interested in seeing it now. If it's basically "Thor: Ragnarok, but underwater", I'll be pleased.

so an acquaintance took me to see John Cleese do a live show. i didn't really know what that meant but i figured it would be good to see Cleese in person before he died. well, they made the crowd watch the entirety of Holy Grail before Cleese showed up. sitting in a packed theater in Brooklyn hearing people laugh at the Knights Who Say Ni was like being in hell. i hadn't seen Holy Grail since i was a kid and man, it's barely a movie. Anyway Cleese shows up after the movie is done and he's being interviewed by his daughter on stage. his daughter asks him a bunch of really lame questions that were apparently taken from the audience. it was advertised as a Q&A session but i didn't see anywhere to ask a question. Cleese looks like he's about 12 months pregnant. He's still really tall and he has thin stick legs but he's looking like octomom up there. he admits he's only doing this because he has to pay an ex-wife 20 million dollars. he shows us a drawing a fan made of his five cats. his daughter does 5 minutes of her stand-up routine which i think was something about dating in manhattan but i don't remember. Cleese laughs a lot and says it was fun being a Python, he laughs and says he had a good time doing the movie. he says Terry Gilliam mumbles, and people laugh at his impression of Gilliam mumbling. he tells a story about a prank call he made to Michael Palin. he says people don't know how to take a joke anymore and the audience applauds. then after an hour of this he says it's getting late and thanks us and that's it. so if for some reason, you were thinking about seeing this, do not. it was sad and baffling and i don't even want to think about how much the tickets cost this person i went with. they even advertised that Cleese would "silly walk onto the stage" and he did no such thing. at one point his shoe fell off and he was unable to put it back on himself.

That's a shame, I saw Cleese and Eric Idle's 2-man show and it was a lot of fun. They mixed it up with sketches they'd written back in the 60s/70s interspersed with each of them speaking to the audience individually while the other listened or they held a conversation between the two of them just about life in general and comedy specifically. It wasn't the funniest show I'd ever seen but it was a nice look at two old guys taking a look back at long careers in comedy from the days when they were the subversive young dudes through to now being the traditional old school and somewhat stuffy guys.

I went to see Ken Kesey (he wrote One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest) do a spoken word set about 20 years ago with Ken Babbs his friend and Merry Prankster. It was really cool hearing him read pieces, but the Q+A stuff was terrible, and Ken Babbs was just getting drunker and drunker, and he was clearly Not The Ken We Wanted To Hear From And He Knew It And Did Not Like It. Kesey was a lovely kind man who wrote beautifully. Some of the things he said made me want to cry. Ken Babbs can go gently caress himself.

Funniest/worst show I ever saw was Danzig at the (now closed) Congress theater in Chicago. He repeatedly bitched about how hot it was, took his shirt off, and tripped over a microphone cable. Good poo poo.

I got lucky to see Rush during what turned out to be their farewell tour and even in their early-to-mid-60's they were loving amazing. I'm so glad that I got to see them one more time before they stopped touring. They started out playing a song from their most recent album on a stage stuffed with stuff and covered in lights with huge speakers and proceeded to work backwards through their library, one song from each album, and as they played the road crew broke down the stage so by the time they played the last song on their set list it was a stack speaker and amp, two electric guitars, and a small drum kit that Neil still crushed it on. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. I also got to see Bill Cosby with my wife (a birthday present for her) just before the allegations broke. He still had it with some pretty funny stories (I was never a big fan of his, I was more a Richard Pryor guy) but it was SO weird growing with The Cosby Show and seeing him sitting in a chair for two hours just looking old.

Oh I saw Fleetwood Mac a couple of years ago, too. They were loving amazing, Lindsey Buckingham is an amazing guitarist. They were one of those bands that I thought 'Albatross' and 'Rumours' were on fairly constant rotation, so I never actually listened to it, it was just wallpaper. like the Beatles, where if it's on the radio you're aware of it but it sounds nothing special, just catchy. Mick Fleetwood did a 10 minute drum solo, Buckingham did a 10 minute guitar solo, McVie came out (but didnt' sing, and she was a surprise to all) and it was great. It made me want to go see Paul Simon on that retirement tour, except I didn't bother. Also some girl saw my flash tshirt and said 'Bazinga' at me and I hadn't seen the Big Bang Theory so I didn't know what she was talking about.

I went to see John Cleese this year too but while he admitted he was doing this for money it was actually an hour lecture on how there is no hope and everything sucks. Basically pure snark Cleese. It was wonderful. Then they did a Q&A and it was all giggling manchildren asking about Monty Python. But still a good night.

I saw Danzig during that time too. Then I saw him back in 2005. The drum riser was significantly smaller but he had women with X's taped on their boobs while wearing nun's habits and skull masks dancing. It's amazing how Danzig is so awful and so great at the same time.
