Going to Sasquatch. KILL ME RIGHT NOW. Sasquatch is one of the highlights of my year, sadly, this year I will be thousands of miles away, salavating at the mouth as I fantasize myself being there.
In other tragic news Jon Brion has recently been diagnosed with Tendinitus and he has had to cancel all his shows for several upcoming monthes. As of right now it is unknown when he will be able to play again. The doctor attributed the tendinitus to "obsessive playing of the piano/guitar among other instruments"- that is secretly an amazing way to go down if u have to go down. It is just SAD tho, he is a poopface amazing composer/musician and he is still effing young, not even close to his prime.
Poopface disappointed with the da vinci code movie. I read the book and enjoyed it quite a bit. I will never hail Dan Brown as an amazing writer because he isn't. He keeps you turning the pages for sure but he is just SHAMELESS with his conventions in order to keep it suspensefull. Just a ridiculous cliffhanger at every new chapter and poopface cheesy one-liners. He did manage to fuse in tons of interesting facts and little known historical antecdotes tho and I will give him credit for that. The movie tho is just SHIT compared to the book and while it does stick to the general plot the tone/attidute of the movie is just WATERED DOWN and conservatized (made up that word? probably). It took the theory that the book proposed quite convincingly and then changed the attitudes of the characters that supported it in the book. In the book all of the main characters are quite confident in the truth of the theory and as they experience more it only becomes more convincing to them. In the movie there is only one main character that actually totally beleives the theory and they portray him as an obsessive madman and even villainize him. It's weird- the preview made you beleive that the movie was going to introduce "a truth that could shake the very foundation of christianity", and they do introduce it but then they just make the main characters question it so insessantly that it loses all credibilty. I do think I would be pissed if I were Dan Brown. It's like they tricked him into signing on and then they sabatoged all the work he did to make the theory so convincing. The screenplay dialogue is PWUP so i will never blame the actors, although McKellen is actually pretty good. I don't know- I guess it's worth seeing but if you really want to look into the theory read the book.
