Entertainment Quickies

  • Kill Bill Vol. 2 kicks all manner of ass. It's better than Vol. 1 in most respects. Less outright violence, though.
  • I bought Pearl Jam's Ten for the first time on CD last night. It cost me $5.99 used at Waterloo. A better bargain for a must-have CD I am not aware of.
  • The Jack Bauer Hour, otherwise known as 24, has gotten decidedly current events-ish on us with the episode that aired last night. I thought Jack murdering Ryan Chappell at the request of the President (who caved to the terrorist's demand) was ugly, but Jack interrogating the Bad Guy's daughter in a style decidedly antithetical to individual freedom...that scene should be nominated for some Really Important Socio-Political Point award. It cuts straight to the heart of every security vs. liberty issue in this country.
  • Also when I bought Ten, I picked up Squarepusher's Music is Rotten One Note. Fucking brilliant. I can't wait to see him tonight.
  • Ditto the brilliance on The Cinematic Orchestra's Every Day and Man With a Movie Camera. This is the first time I've heard orchestral strings and arrangements tied to breakbeats, downtempo hip-hop, and jazz. Awesome stuff.
  • Yvonne, at the Austin downtown Marriott, is the most attractive bartending woman I have ever seen. And she actually knows her beer!!
