Hey, I love all these movie reviews. John, you ought to take Jeff up on his insane reviewer idea.

I regret I haven't seen many movies recently, and certainly nothing as exotic as you two have mentioned. I think I have mentioned I enjoyed "A Simple Plan" and the "The Usual Suspects." I detest most of the Hollywood movies, although I enjoyed "Enemy of the State" and I intend to see "Minority Report" pretty soon. Jeff, I read a review of "The Secret Lives of Altar Boys" and it sounds like something you'd like. It's about altar boys, of course, but it revolves around their fantasies of being superheroes and is cut with zillions of animated sequences by the creator of "Spawn."

I have been working stupid hours and haven't much time for anything beyond my weekly Magnetron instalment. I would tell you that I am now on vacation and intended to get my car fixed finally so I could drive down to Tucson and visit John, but it is just so ludicrously ironic that no one would believe me even though it's true.

By the way, John, that goofy hogatubbies banner took me about an hour to make. Fifteen minutes to cook up the concept and steal the graphics, another fifteen to lay out the frames, another fifteen to animate, and another fifteen to upload and update the link.

Anyway, I am here and now have lots of free time!

You think THAT is something. I am in the wrong business. I may create a new role for myself as I professional idea-man for companies. I'll charge 1,000.00 a day and help others brainstorm to sell their products OR come up with products. Example I just help a guy at work come up with a product. He wanted to combine alcohol with water, kinda like a water substitute and still get a buzz. WHich brings up...how much water can you put in a product to be considered a water product. He wanted to call it "Booze". I came up with "AQUAHOL". Brilliant isn't it? Another man wants to open up his own business. Its a barber shop, designed like Floyd's shop in Mayberry. We talked about this and came up with a brilliant scheme. The service is not haircuts...its men getting together and talking. You pay 8.00 which is a covercharge. Haircuts ARE FREE. You can have coffee, sit down and just talk. Great for retirees. THe Name: JAWJACKIN' JOES.
I just went over my list of ladies I am emailing and a few I've had first dates. 12....mother fuckin 12 women I am in contact with. I already have dates lined up for Wed, THurs, and Fri. I just contacted woman number 12. I am telling you....I have three men who want to know what the fuck Im doing.....I gotta write a fuckin book on this.
Ken, don't forget the ideas I sent you for banners. I have some more. The Banana Splits.....and the Three Musketeers OH, and The Chipmonks....one of us needs to be the guy..David Savell....probably Curt.

Has anyone seen the movie SHINE??????? Please respond if you have....I have a question about the end of the movie.
Also listened to the Koyanniquatsi soundtrack. In the past Phillip Glass used to irritate me to no end....NO, I am enjoying his works.
All for now....I'm finally getting tired. Ken, if you need something to do....what about that friggin logo?

I have already planned on making a section of my website for reviews. Remember when I mentioned that a few weeks ago? Unfortunately, I never get anything accomplished due to my expert powers of procrastination so I decided to post some reviews here before flying off. I like Jeff's sanitarium idea, but I have some ideas of my own.

Phillip Glass? Uggghhh. I never knew a metronome qualified as a composer until I heard this guys repetitive droning. There is only one thing he has ever done that isn't terrible--the soundtrack to Candyman. Even that has to be taken in moderation.

Jeff, I have to get you some more Dead Can Dance stat. I'm sorry, I had no idea you were in such a desperate listening situation out there. :-)

Ken, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that you were never going to make it down to Tucson this Summer so I don't feel guilty about taking off at all. You might want to take that repaired car of yours and get the hell out of Phx for a while. Enjoy your vacation.

Well guys, I'm leaving for the airport in less than four hours. Wish me luck going through the shooting gallery, er, I mean LAX. As I was telling Jeff a few weeks ago, LAX is the only place I feel unsafe during my trips to SE Asia. Strange, but true.

Stay in touch. Remember that I check my email regularly, so give me something to chuckle about when I'm killing time in an internet cafe. Ciao.
