I saw this movie last week. Serendipitously, as I didn’t know it was coming out until the day before it opened and I am currently finishing “Hell’s Angels.” Overall the movie is pretty good, although plagued by “Unsolved Mysteries”-style dramatic re-enactments. There are a lot of video interviews and photographs with Thompson and the best part is the last half hour during which they touch on the author’s suicide and self-planned memorial service, which looked pretty great. If you’ve read all of his books you won’t learn anything new but the value of the movie is hearing from Thompson the author as opposed to Thompson the character (Raoul Duke).

Guess what? I’m turning this site into a tumblelog. As if you haven’t noticed my gradually increasing tendency to post only Twitter updates and YouTube video.
God, this exactly the kind of meta-blogging blog post that I hate. I was ruminating on this last night at Stitch ‘n’ Bitch — why do I always think that everything I make or create has to come out perfect? I have spent so much time on this silly little narcissistic website that I almost take the joy and spontaneity out of it for myself.
Less talk, more rock. That’s what we need. Except Wordpress and I aren’t on good terms right now either. Why can’t you just do what I want you to do, inanimate object?
Point of this post is to tell you that I have been having many adventures, and I want you to hear all about them. I’ll get to them as soon as I can. Patience, my pet.
In the meantime, I’ve updated the Movies page. I’ve seen some real shitters this year.

I only wish I’d learned this kind of stuff in my motorcycle safety classes.
Oh, I have another video for you too, but it’s in very, very poor taste.

Jesus, James Brown’s widow is my new hero.
Best line: My husband would not let anybody see him not made up. I was his hairdresser, trust me. He had to be fly, okay! All the time!
