The Red Hot Chili Peppers are an amazing band who have been going for 10 years. But if they are rocking into their 80s (or 60s) it's not going to be a pretty sight.


I was just watching the video for Dani California

Where else can you find such dialog?


The Chalice From The Palace

Hawkins: I've got it! I've got it! The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?

Griselda: Right. But there's been a change: they broke the chalice from the palace!

Hawkins: They *broke* the chalice from the palace?

Griselda: And replaced it with a flagon.

Hawkins: A flagon...?

Griselda: With the figure of a dragon.

Hawkins: Flagon with a dragon.

Griselda: Right.

Hawkins: But did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?

Griselda: No! The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!

Hawkins: The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.

Griselda: Just remember that.




Why, thank you!

My favorite bit is 'Oh the Doge'

Horrah for the Court Jester. Fantastic movie indeed, had me in stitches.

We saw Home Fries last night. Drew Barrymore, Luke Wilson, Shelly Duvall, Kaherine O'harrah, and everyone's favorite, Jake Busey (who is referred to as "Muldoon" in this household. Yay Stoned Age). Not a bad midnight watch. Kinda falls apart in the end in my eyes, the way Requiem for a Dream does in that they had a good idea that they just kind took too over the top. But definitely some enjoyable watching overall.

For the second Sunday in a row, I watched a bizarre Polanski flick that I hadn't seen before (see last week's Pirates comments). This time around, it was What?. Odd but very entertaining. Weird (very weird) sex scenes featuring Marcelo Mastroianni. I need a little time to let it all sink in before I offer a serious review. whew...
Only three Polanski flicks I haven't seen yet (and they are all since 1994). I need to see Bitter Moon again. It's the only one I hated on first sight. Maybe it needs second chance.

Ok, got my attention!;)

There's something about Polanski and wierd sex scenes. "Here piggy piggy."

We watched "Hero" tonight. I've had it in the home queue for, literally, years and just got around to watchig it. It's one of the most visually beautiful films I've ever seen. I really loved it.

I was going to go to the movies this past weekend, but didn't end up going to see anything. I still haven't seen POTC 2.

I do, too. Love it.
Such a great cast, wonderful screenplay (from the play) and nice pacing. This film really moves. I have never had a chance to see this play, but I'd like to. In fact, I'd love to be in it. :)

'Hero' is fantastic. I liked it better than 'Crouching Tiger' and 'House of Flying Daggers'. It was beautifully shot.

Marcello, wearing only a tiger skin, crawling around on the floor, demanding "Tame me!" to a whip-bearing Sydne Rome.

Marcello taking an almost-naked Sydne to an empty beach, where he digs up a buried chest, out of which he takes a policeman's uniform. He cuffs her wrists and ankles together and "interrogates" her with a switch.

That's not to mention scenes like a couple who make love under a furry blanket shouting "Take it!" "Give it!" "Take it!" "Give it!" ad nauseum.

A very odd movie.

Did I mention that Polanski plays a character called Mosquito?

...and according to the New York Times review:
