- I went to the dentist yesterday. My jaw still aches when I open my mouth very wide.
- I went to see Grindhouse last night. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a movie so bloody much. Normally, car chases bore the hell out of me. But the chase scene in Deathproof literally had me on the edge of my seat. The stunts are in-fucking-sane! The nostalgia factor had me going, bigtime, too. I remember going to the movies in the 70s and early 80s. This movie brought it all back, and hard. And as for the trailers, well, I sure damned hope Machete, Don't, Hobo With a Shotgun, and Werewolf Women of the SS get made. I'm not so keen on Thanksgiving. Bleah. Being a huge bad movie buff, I think I was catching a lot of references that most audience members miss. That being said, I know bloody well I was missing plenty, too. How about that Ilsa the Wicked Warden reference? How about Udo Kier? How about boobies and head explodies in the trailers? The only thing missing was an ad about popcorn, liquorice all-sorts, and other tasty treats. What next? A return to the drive-in?
- I went to Recycle Cycles and, with the help of a few volunteer bike mechanics, got my bicycle in decent condition again. I helped replace an axle, ball bearings, and did a lot of filthy, filthy work.
- I'm going to try to order in some new eyeglasses today. I've picked out a set of frames. Here's hoping they'll work with my prescription.
- Kurt Vonnegut died. Although I've yet to read all his books, I'm always especially unhappy when a great writer dies. It means no more books by them. Damn.

miami_pony came to visit. Yay!
- I'm going to take a tribal fusion workshop with Rosanna in Toronto on Saturday. Rosanna is an awesome dancer, and I'm looking forward to it.
- For the first time, I got dizzy at pole dancing class. I hope this doesn't continue.
- My website, rather, its server, is still dead.
- I'm going to visitredlyra next weekend, see a live production of Rocky Horror Picture Show, and attend the Sunday session of the International Belly Dance Conference. I hope to see changingwomon there, too, because I miss her severely!

Were there car chases and shotguns in Disney movies that I somehow missed?

I have a worn video of Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Shieks.
Talk about guilty pleasure!

Date: 2007-04-14 02:33 pm (UTC)From:A short video created by Dartmouth, Nova Scotia filmmakers Jason Eisener, Rob Cotterill, and John Davies for Robert Rodriguez's "SXSW Grindhouse Trailers contest". The video was conceived, written, shot, edited and sent off to Texas in a span of three weeks for the contest.
At least now I understand why there was no reference at all to "Hobo With A Shotgun" in the credits for Grindhouse, while all of the other inbetweeny trailers had credits.
I would -so- love to see 'Machete' made into a movie. :) Ultrafuckingcool.
