Pike Avenue 12

How many of you have seen The Doors, from 1991?  Could you raise your hands?  That’s good.  That is one of the best  movies I have seen in a longahelluva time, and maybe ever.  I only ever listened to L.A. Woman before the movie, and now I’m going friggin’ nuts with all of The Doors' albums. 
                There’s also the movie This Film is Not Yet Rated, about the MPAA and why they suck and are a-holes and baby killers.  It’s pretty good, even if the director is a bit foppish.  They talked about a bunch of movies that got hit with the NC-17 rating, and now I have a brand new list of movies to watch. 
                I just watched The Day After Tomorrow again, and immediately regretted it.  I had in my mind an idea(placed there by mischievous  weevils) that it was a fairly informative movie about global warming with some good action scenes.  I was also under the impression that it did not suck – my bad.  Everyone in the movie decided not to act any good, and then all of the actors forgot why they were doing the movie in the first place, and skipped through fields of professional indignity. I liked the part where the helicopter fuel lines freeze and the helicopters crashed, that was pretty crazy.  'Sides that less-than-a-minute segment, I can’t say I was too impressed.  I was un-pressed.  Jake Gyllenhaal didn’t do too bad, but he shouldn’t have been in there with the other sucky people – come to think of it, if he just made Donnie Darko and then rode a motorcycle off a cliff, he would at least be remembered by a good movie.  Oh!  Jarhead!  What am I thinking, Gyllen-fart totally redeemed himself with that.  Dancing on a tightrope. 
                I read this study that was conducted about how likely people are to help out other people, and USA is right above Malaysia, which is in last place.  You know what that means, right?  That’s right: we’re strong and independent! WOOOO 'MERICA YEAAA WOOOO!
                I also watched this movie Kekexili about a group of hunters in Tibet protecting antelope.  That was pretty slow, until right at the end, when it suddenly became anticlimactic.  The actual story behind it was kind of interesting, this volunteer Tibetan patrol hunting down poachers, it just was not a very powerful movie. 
                There Will Be Blood, the Daniel-Day Lewis flick about oil magnates and the like.  I like it, and I’m pretty sure I could have liked it more.  That would be no mean feat, it was a good movie.  There just wasn’t enough chutzpah to make me want to tell everyone I know about it. 
                I watch a lot of movies, and I was thinking I could start up some sort of rating system where I just reviewed movies.  It would just be another add-on to the site that you guys could check out so you know which movies to get(the ones I like) and avoid(anything else).  Go watch The Doors, it is freakin’ great.
                How long has it been now that people have been saying Tar-jay when they’re talking about Target?  And why is that the only French-like thing that’s still cool in America?  Choose your side of the fence; if you try to be on both sides, your genitals get caught on rusty metal.
