on this day

38 years ago today the Stones Played Altamont Speedway.

Today would be a good day to watch "Gimme Shelter" the movie which chronicles the 1969 tour.

My favorite line in the movie comes from Mick when viewing footage of Ike and Tina Turner, who was the opening act:
"It's nice to have a chick occasionally"

Apocolypto: like the Under the Bridge video with lots of blood and violence and nothing to do with Anthony Kiedis' drug problems.

I finally watched the movie, "Apocolypto" and wow, those Mayans were assholes!

It was no "Braveheart" and I still haven't seen "The Passion of the Christ" (and please people, don't tell me how it ends!).

"Apocolypto" reminded me of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Under the Bridge" video. If the video also had: human sacrifices, historic inaccuracies, plague, and slavery...

Anyway, the movie is about a Jaguar Paw (played by Rudy Youngblood a.k.a. Anthony Kiedis), a young hunter/warrior (pictured). He is rounded up with some other cats... taken to the Mayan city and... well, then it gets crazy.

Jaguar Paw runs (slow motion) for the rest of the movie. I could not get the RHCP song out of my head, so I paused the tivo... grabbed by iPod and listened to "under the bridge" while watching Jaguar Paw get chased through the jungle by Zero Wolf (played by Raoul Trujillo... he is one scary MF who could kick Jason's ass any day... AND Freddy Kruger, Charles Manson, that dude from "Saw", and zombies and vampires and who ever the hell you have to throw at him... But apparently he cant fuck with Anthony Keidis).

Apocolypto has everything, and maybe too much of everything. There are many scenes that made me cringe like a little school girl (thank the Mayan Gods for Tivo rewind). The over the top violence, makes "Braveheart" look like "Shrek", but I guess in some strange way I loved it.

I'll give Apocolypto 4 out of 5 beheadings... but only 3 out of 5 spears through the mid section... for a grand total of 8 out of 10 sacrificial heart removals (while the heart is still beating).

Here's a scene...

Owen, just call Wes Anderson and make another movie!perhaps it is time for a Bottle Rocket Sequel

If you haven't heard, Owen Wilson attempted suicide over the weekend. The Mother Goldstein staff wishes Owen a speedy recovery.
I saw the movie, "you, me and Dupree" over the weekend on cable and afterwards I wanted to kill MYSELF. I can't imagine what Owen is going through.

Steven Seagal says The FBI Killed his Career

Steven Seagal says The FBI Killed his Career I always thought it was because of a combination of things like: He got to old, got too fat, his acting never improved, he is a tool, and/or his movies totally suck. Here is a description of ALL of Steven Seagal's movies:

1. someone killed Steven Seagal's: Brother, Family, or Friend/partner.
2. Steven Seagal wants revenge, but has to work with a new partner (he doesn't want a new partner, this new partner will be a rookie and most likely get killed by the same people who killed his Brother, Family, or Friend/partner).
3. Steven Seagal usually meets up with a: Sweet old man, young kid, or old Sensei (They also get beat up or killed by same people who killed his: Brother, Family, or Friend/partner.
4. End of movie Steven kills bad guy, ties up loose ends, and has a new girl friend.
5. throughout the movie Seagal kills and injures people with Martial Arts ( he studies Fat Kwon Bo).

Note: this is also the description of every Jet Li Movie as well... also Dirty Harry (substitute Martial Arts with .44 Magnum).
