Urgh. I need to go scrub my brain with bleach now.
on January 17th, 2013 at 11:37:39 AM
Well I saw KIDS, Ken Park, Gummo, Mister Lonely and Trash Humpers, and Gummo more than once, the only flick I have seen many times from this director's filmography.
For any of the other flicks I have certain appreciation, nothing else.
I might take a look at this movie.
Doc Gonzo
on January 17th, 2013 at 11:59:56 AM
Saw Ken Park some time ago...one of the sickest movies ever. Are the other ones similar?
on January 17th, 2013 at 12:10:59 PM
@Doc Gonzo:
Ken Park, sexually speaking is the most explicit in that way, number 2 is KIDS, the rest of the flicks are similar in the sick kind off department, not quite on the rough sex scenes, cause.
Gummo is about a bunch of kids f*cking around in a town destroyed by a hurricane some time ago, you know, killing cats and selling them to a supermarket owner or worker for they meat, etc.
Trash Humpers is about a bunch of people wearing old people's mask and doing some trashing in different parts of a city.
Mister Lonely is about Wannabe Be Imitator or Actors Imitating famous Artist that live on a commune on the mountains.
So, there you go, man.
on January 17th, 2013 at 12:26:13 PM
This is kinda like Enter the Void meets Savages meets Joe Dirt.
And how about those superior thespian skills from a one James Franco: "C'mon, y'all ...why ya actin' spishus?"
on January 17th, 2013 at 12:29:20 PM
I'm smelling Oscars for Franco...hahaha
on January 17th, 2013 at 12:47:34 PM
So did you see Enter the Void and what did you think about it?
I saw both Enter the Void and most recently Savages.
For me, ETV kind of unveiled Kubrick's 2001 mystery and purpose, cause Noe's intention more than rebirth and new opportunities in life is the scene at the elevator, that was the point of Noe, more than any other thing.
And Savage, well, you get the picture.
on January 17th, 2013 at 1:29:30 PM
Not a terrible trailer. A little over-saturated in the color-grading like it was graded by a Mexican carnival barker, but otherwise, not bad. Could have dropped the damned rap though and perhaps made a trailer that was little more than a disjointed, dissonant montage of Miami beachfront party-going, maybe shown some of the actual...plot, but still, not terrible.
on January 17th, 2013 at 2:07:04 PM

on January 17th, 2013 at 6:59:15 PM
I'm gonna watch this, it looks entertaining. They kind of over did it with the song, but the shots in the trailer were great. Franco has his roles where he kills it, hopefully this is one of those instances. This is probably the best this group of chicks is ever going to be, they lack charisma on screen, but when you have bodies like those in bikinis the whole movie I suppose you don't need any.
oh and one more thing..."ya'll".
on January 17th, 2013 at 7:32:50 PM
Well. I had no idea Prometheus stole the 3D star map hologram thing from Disney's Treasure Planet.
on January 17th, 2013 at 7:53:51 PM
GOD DAMN. They literally managed to cram nearly everything I hate about my generation into one trailer.
If I do somehow get dragged to see this, it will be purely for James Franco, out of curiousity as to how hilarious his portrayal of a rapper is.
on January 18th, 2013 at 9:08:03 AM
son speaking with his mon: mommy, my penus hurt so bad when i see this movie with selena gomez all the time on a bikini why is that?

Outlook: Only a name
Wednesday 01 December 1999
Unlike the other half of GEC, which has taken off like a rocket since the demerger was unveiled in January, Baesystems will have to work harder to get itself into orbit. The defence procurement industry is only just recovering from the shell shock that followed the end of the Cold War. Moreover, the cost-plus contracts of old are as much a piece of military history now as the Vulcan bomber.
The synergy savings of pounds 275m targeted by Baesystems look modest compared with the inherited cost base, and for all the talk about what its Airbus stake might be worth, the mooted figure of $3bn-5bn will remain pie-in- the sky until the day the consortium publishes proper accounts.
Sir Dick's co-pilot on this trip into the unknown, John Weston, is promising to produce some juicier synergy numbers next spring. But having watched the BAe share price head south more or less since the day the merger was announced, it may take something more explosive to capture the imagination. If only he could square the regulators and Capitol Hill, Mr Weston would drop Bae as fast as he has dropped British from the corporate identity in doing a deal with the Americans.

Justin Timberlake's '20/20' Album Sales Put Him in Exclusive Company

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Tommy Hunter is expected to take over as the team's closer, according to MLB.com.
The Orioles originally swapped closers with the Oakland A's when they traded Jim Johnson in early December for Grant Balfour and agreed to a two-year, $15 million deal with the Australian. However, the Orioles called off the signing because they had concerns about his arm's health. Balfour eventually signed with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Baltimore then honed in on free agent Fernando Rodney, but he ended up signing with the Seattle Mariners.
Hunter, a former starter, pitched out of the Orioles' bullpen last season. He went 6-5 with a 2.81 ERA, 68 strikeouts, 14 walks and four saves in 86 1/3 innings.
The 27-year-old is 39-29 with a 4.48 ERA in 555 2/3 innings over his major-league career with the Texas Rangers (2008-10) and Orioles.

"I think I was unprepared for war. In other words, I didn't campaign and say: 'Please vote for me. I'll be able to handle an attack.' In other words, I didn't anticipate war. Presidents -- one of the things about the modern presidency is that the unexpected will happen."
President Bush, in an interview with ABC News.
"I'm sure some people voted for [President-elect] Barack Obama because of me. Obviously the economic situation made it awfully difficult for John McCain to get a message out. And I felt that Barack Obama ran a very disciplined campaign. I mean, he inspired a lot of people and was in a position to take advantage of the inspiration. It was well-organized, he raised a lot of money, and ran a textbook campaign."
President Bush, speaking to ABC News.
"I thought it was one of the radio stations in South Florida playing an incredible, elaborate, terrific prank on me. They got Fidel Castro to go along. They've gotten Hugo Chavez and others to fall for their tricks. I said, 'Oh, no, I won't be punked.'"
Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Fl.) explaining why she hung up on President-elect Barack Obama. But, the Miami Herald reports, this was no prank.
"Put everything but food and medicine on the table, because everybody has to share the pain."
State Senator Bob Jauch (D-Poplar) who wants to draft a bill that continues food and health-related sales tax exemptions, but apply the 5% tax to everything else to address the state budget deficit. The idea was called "radical" by the Journal Sentinel that also reported Jauch is the only lawmaker making such a proposal.
"We have to take a position that everything's on the table. We have to consider that somebody's going to put on the table a plastic bag tax of 25 cents until there's not. We have to assume there will be a bottle deposit fee until we're told there's not. We have to assume there will be a soda tax until we're told there's not."
Brandon Scholz, a lobbyist for the Wisconsin Grocers Association, assuming there will be plenty of proposed tax increases.
"No matter the technique, pulling more money from the private economy to send to Madison is a tax increase. Forcing struggling families to pay sales taxes on services that they did not have to pay before will make everything from getting a haircut to a membership at the gym more expensive."
Assembly Republican Leader Jeff Fitzgerald of Horicon.
"Are you serious...Wisconsin Democrats want to raise taxes? Well, alert the national media! Seriously, why is this even a story? It's no surprise our taxes are going up...again. I am out of here as soon as the housing market improves. Our state officials make me sick."
A person identified as OakCreekMom, commenting on the Journal Sentinel website on a story that State Senator Fred Risser (D-Madison) will only support raising taxes a last resort to solve the state budget deficit.
"I would have for sure killed some people if that was real. That was really crazy. They were scaring me. I'm shaking! It was so hard to text. I knocked over so many cones. I was swerving over there. I was ready for this car to roll over. If my mom was here, you would've given her heart attack."
Teenager Chelsea Cross, talking about a test that she and two friends took for Channel 12 News. They drove through a course at Milwaukee Area Technical College to see how safely they could drive and text at the same time. Five states currently ban texting while driving for all drivers. Another 10 states ban teen drivers from texting.
"Two more years left now, starting in January —"
An Associated Press reporter, interviewing Wisconsin Attorney General JB Van Hollen.
"Oh, you're throwing me out of office already? Come on. Where's the love?"
Van Hollen's quick response to AP reporter after the above question.
"I think we sent a very strong message that I don't care who you are or what position you hold, if you violate the law, we are going to enforce it. We are going to do something about it. Nobody is above the law. Individuals aren't. Certainly government agencies aren't."
Van Hollen, on what he accomplished with his lawsuit demanding the state Government Accountability Board abide by federal law and verify the identities of tens of thousands of voters before the election. A judge threw the lawsuit out a little more than a week before the election.
"I don't believe there's any significant dispute as to the fact that they did not attend significant portions of the conference. But it appeared more a matter of incompetence rather than intentional conduct."
Assistant District Attorney David Feiss, head of the public integrity unit, on the decision that Milwaukee School Board member Charlene Hardin and a high school secretary didn't do anything criminal when they went AWOL instead of attending a school safety conference in Philadelphia earlier this year.
"It's actually going to shift development likely out of the city of Milwaukee and into the suburbs. That's having a discriminatory effect because of who's living in the suburbs that are going to benefit."
Karyn Rotker, ACLU senior staff attorney, on the ACLU's lawsuit against the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's plans to build a Drexel Avenue Interchange. The ACLU contends the project would be a violation of civil rights.
"Look, somebody has to do it. It's cost-effective because the alternative is to pay a county worker to do the job. With pay and benefits, that comes to $30 an hour. This isn't heart surgery, and it's not like we're asking them to handle nuclear waste. It's janitorial work, and they do have to be trained properly because of AIDS and hepatitis."
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke on giving inmates one hour off their sentence for every hour they work cleaning up blood, urine, ***, saliva, vomit and other bodily fluids at the House of Correction and the Criminal Justice Facility.
"Sexual pressure, sexual desire, actually I think is short period satisfaction and often, that leads to more complication."
The Dalai Lama in an interview with reporters. He said conjugal life caused "too much ups and downs. He said the "consolation" in celibacy is that although "we miss something, but at the same time, compare whole life, it's better, more independence, more freedom."
"I'm chubby and I'm pregnant and it's awesome. I'm used to living my life in a bikini, and I'm definitely not bikini-ready. I think the chubbiness is all relative, but it's for the very best cause in the whole wide world, is what I keep telling myself. And I'm pretty proud of it."
Two-time Olympic beach volleyball champion Kerri Walsh found something to keep her busy after winning her second successive gold medal: She's pregnant.Walsh and husband Casey Jennings, a fellow pro beach volleyball player, are expecting a child in the spring.
Dane County mishandles a 9-1-1 call.

Another oldie, but not a goodie from state Democrats
If the Democrats are the party of change, then I'm Julius Caesar.
Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker and state Representative Cory Mason plan to introduce the oldest, most tired, least creative idea from the Democrats' playbook: increasing the minimum wage. From Decker and Mason to legislators today, looking for co-sponsors:
"We are introducing legislation that would increase the minimum wage from its current level of $6.50 per hour to $7.60 per hour effective on June 1, 2009. The separate minimum wages for minors, opportunity employees and others would be increased by the same percentage and are specifically enumerated in the bill. Beginning on June 1, 2010 the minimum wage will be indexed for inflation. The bill further eliminates the current prohibition against allowing a city, village, town or county from enacting an ordinance establishing a living wage."
What's wrong with raising the minimum wage? Let's count the ways.
1) Supporters claim raising the minimum wage will help the middle class. Liberals obviously don't know much about the economy if they seriously think raising the minimum wage will help the middle class. How many people that fall under the category of "middle class" that you know are working for the minimum wage?
2) Most economists believe the minimum wage law costs the economy thousands of jobs.
3) Teenagers, workers in training, college students, interns, and part-time workers all have their options and opportunities limited by the minimum wage and might even lose their jobs.
4) Liberals say the minimum wage needs to be increased so the wage can support families. Wrong! A low-paying job remains an entry point for those with few marketable skills. Minimum wage jobs were never intended to be family-supporting positions.
5) When you force American companies to pay a certain wage, you increase the likelihood that those companies will outsource jobs to foreign workers, where labor is much cheaper.
6) Non-profit charitable organizations are hurt by the minimum wage.
7) Increasing the minimum wage can drive some small companies out of business.
8) Raising the minimum wage hurts the poor, the very faction of society Democrats are always crying need more help that only they can provide.
9) It takes away jobs, keeps people on welfare, and encourages high-school students to drop out.
10) Jobs lost will be entry-level jobs, thus, teens living at home with mom and dad will be hurt the most, not parents trying to raise families.
11) Jobs lost mean fewer opportunities of employment for the poor.
12) Raising it keeps welfare mothers on welfare longer. Mothers on welfare in states that raised their minimum wage remained on welfare 44 percent longer than mothers on welfare in states where it was not raised.
13) Raising the minimum wage means fewer jobs are available.
14) With a larger pool of applicants, competition is stiffer. Low-skilled workers have a more difficult time getting those job skills that are crucial to economic well-being.
15) A raise in the minimum wage increases the number of high-school students who drop out.
What's unfortunate is that the poor fail to understand how Democrats are really hurting them by suggesting the minimum wage be increased. That begs the question once again; just how poor are the poor?
Wisconsin remembers the Day of Infamy
From the State of Wisconsin, Department of Veterans Affairs:
Pearl Harbor Day to be observed
Ceremonies to be held at the Milwaukee War Memorial and at the Wis. Veterans Home at King
(MADISON) – To mark the 67th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and America's entry into World War II, the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) will host two ceremonies on Sunday, December 7, 2008. Governor Jim Doyle has proclaimed December 7, 2008 as a day for the recognition of Pearl Harbor Day in Wisconsin, and the proclamation will be read at the ceremonies. In the evening of Dec. 7, the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs will co-host a Pearl Harbor Day ceremony with AMVETS District 2, at the Milwaukee County War Memorial in Milwaukee at 7:00 p.m.
Kenneth Sweet of Milwaukee, a Pearl Harbor Day survivor, will be one of the featured speakers. Those attending the event will include members of AMVETS District 2, the Badger Detachment of the Marine Corps League, members of the Wisconsin veterans services community, and World War II veterans who survived the attack on Pearl Harbor, Kenneth Sweet, and LeRoy Knurr, of Brown Deer.
"As we observe Pearl Harbor Day this December 7, we will also remember two Wisconsin men who lost their lives in the attacks on December 7th and 8th and whose remains have just been identified and returned to their families this year," said Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs Acting Secretary Ken Black (who will also speak at the event in Milwaukee).
U.S. Navy Fireman Second Class Lawrence Boxrucker of Dorchester, Wis. was among 400 seamen killed on the USS Oklahoma on December 7, 1941. U.S. Navy Ensign Robert G. Tills of Manitowoc was killed when his craft was sunk by Japanese aircraft while defending the Philippines on Dec. 8, 1941. "We must never allow to be forgotten the valiant service of the countless U.S. service members like Lawrence Boxrucker and Robert Tills, who gave their lives defending our nation as it entered the Second World War," said Black.
The Wisconsin Veterans Home at King, Wis. will also host a ceremony to commemorate the observance of Pearl Harbor Day, at 7:30 a.m. on Dec. 7 in the Marden Memorial Center, with the keynote speaker Ken Schweiger, who along with his father Lester are both residents of the King Home and are both veterans of World War II. Lester Schweiger will turn 103 years old this month.
Illegal immigrants: Come on in!
One of the main reasons why America has such an out of control illegal immigration problem is that we are our own worst enemy. As a nation, we not only tolerate illegal immigration, we encourage it.
The most egregious example is in New Haven, Connecticut. In July 2007, I blogged about an outrageous action by New Haven officials. New Haven now offers illegal immigrants municipal identification cards that allow access to city services. Besides serving as identification for bank services and if police ask for ID, the card can be used at municipal locations such as libraries, beaches, and parks – and as a debit card for city parking meters and at more than a dozen downtown shops.
Gee, you think New Haven might be a place illegal immigrants might flock to?
Over a year later, Governing Magazine has an update on how the red carpet continues to roll out for the illegals.
As you read the article, note the subtle, sympathetic spin by the reporter, with my spin in red that follows:
"Some have responded with a hard-headed approach, passing ordinances that call for fines or jail time for property owners who knowingly rent to illegal immigrants or employers who hire them."
If you oppose illegal immigration, you are hard-headed.
"To backers of the idea, though, the card's greatest effect may never be measurable: the extent to which it eases the burdens of daily life for immigrant residents…."
Yes, it's good and proper to make life easier for people here illegally.
"We have a percentage of our population that was afraid to do things, and now they're less afraid. They're more a part of the community than they were without the card."
Well, isn't that special?
"The influx of immigrants from all over Latin America — both legal and illegal — has put Fair Haven on a more promising track…"
It's so much more promising for a community to attract more illegal immigrants.
"When the city finally did introduce it (the ID card), there was an explicit attempt to broaden its appeal beyond immigrants, mostly by emphasizing that it could be useful for all residents."
An ID card that offers all kinds of goodies for illegals is actually good for legal citizens, too. Huhhh????
"You've created this population that is — because of their fears and the status the federal government has created for them — afraid to interact with us."
Uhh, HELLO! They're supposed to have fear. They're not supposed to be here!!!!
"They're here already," Ramos says of the illegal immigrants he visits. "They're here. Should we not protect their health and safety while they're here? Are we going to close our eyes? We can't turn our backs on them."
We're here. We're illegal. Tough. Get used to it.
"Cities and counties around the country have to think about local measures to address the realities of new immigrant populations and how institutions like libraries, the police, fire departments, hospitals and schools can adapt to the realities of those populations — whatever happens in Congress."
Don't you understand, you law-abiding, taxpaying citizens who subsidize all these illegals? You have to adjust that attitude and embrace policies that accept these illegal immigrants into our communities.
The Governing Magazine article is as informative as it is nauseating. But this is what's going on in our own country. As the title of the article suggests, we are throwing down the WELCOME MAT for illegal aliens. Come to America. We won't harm you. If anything, we'll take good care of you.
Why this wasn't a bigger Presidential campaign issue is beyond me, unless both candidates didn't want to ALIENate the Hispanic vote.

Cocktails – Crafts & Salmon
April 1st, 2008
This past week I attended a super fun event at Ivar's Salmon House on Seattle's Lake Union…. Cocktails and Crafts! It was a last minute fun thing consisting of making our own totem poles or Ivar's Bobble Heads into crazy crafty works of … art?? At least I like to think so!
The table was laden with trinkets, glue guns and feathers. We were also encouraged to bring our own adornments. I eagerly dipped into my craft drawers pulling out pearls, found starfish, singing scallop shells and other goofy garnishments. As we created, we sipped wine and nibbled on Oysters on the Half Shell with Pink Peppercorn Mignonette and heard about the restaurants American Indian art collection and shared Ivar stories.
As the evening moved on and our glue guns were blaring we dined on lightly smoke-kissed, first of the season Spring Chinook Salmon and Asparagus served with Old School Maltaise Sauce. Yum! Maltaise sauce is an orange enhanced variation on hollandaise and is fantastic with asparagus … and salmon – rarely seen these days, I was thrilled to see it again in this perfect pairing!
And it's not just cool cocktail party's this Seattle Classics doing – they are also hosting "Salmon in the Classroom" — cultural storytelling of salmon in the NW for Washington kindergartners. Wow — that would be a cool school day.
So if Ivar's Salmon House has been off your radar – come give them a visit – it's a Seattle Institution that serves salmon up …wild and proud.

'Emergency Committee for Israel' can dish it out, but it can't–
When Chuck Hagel was confirmed as Secretary of Defense earlier this week, the Emergency Committee for Israel promptly posted a statement saying that the battle against Hagel had limited his freedom to hurt Israel in American policymaking and concluding: This battle against Chuck Hagel is over. The fight for a principled, pro-Israel foreign policy goes
Parsing the Oscars: Affleck turned resistance into peevishness
I expected to see the illegal Israeli Occupation emblazoned in the Oscars' annual spectacle Sunday night, but the announcement of the Academy Award for best documentary fizzled. Why?

State Dept. refuses to accept Palestinian autopsy showing Arafat Jaradat died from Israeli torture
Although the Palestinian Authority has already announced the results of an autopsy showing Arafat Jaradat's death was the result of torture in an Israeli prison, this is not good enough for the U.S. State Department which refuses to comment until it sees the "Israeli results."

Who's in the 'Times' — and who's out?
This is how you know we don't live in a serious country. The other day the New York Times put the Israel lobbyist/provocateur Michael Goldfarb on the front page in a profile that marveled at Goldfarb's political achievements as a goodnatured "troublemaker".

Saturday, 10 May 2014 10:01 AM
ISLAMABAD — The lawyer defending a Pakistani doctor jailed after helping the CIA find Osama bin Laden is quitting the case because of death threats and alleged U.S. interference in the trial, the lawyer said Saturday.
"I am getting threats on a regular basis. Not only is my life in danger, my family is also in danger. I have therefore decided to quit," lawyer Samiullah Afridi said.
Afridi is representing Dr. Shakil Afridi, who was jailed for 33 years after helping the CIA find the al-Qaida chief. Bin Laden was hiding in Pakistan until U.S. Navy Seals killed him in a 2011 raid.
The raid - and Dr. Afridi's jail sentence - severely strained relations between the United States and Pakistan, its nominal ally.
Afridi's sentence was later overturned. He is still in jail and undergoing a retrial, but his lawyer said the U.S. government was unduly interfering.
"The government of America is putting a lot of pressure on the Pakistani government for the release of Dr. Shakil Afridi," he said.
"Our mission and our wish also was to get him released, but our courts are free and they have to work according to a set procedure. I therefore did not like America's unjustified pressure."
A U.S. embassy spokeswoman was not immediately able to comment on the allegations.
Relations between two allies were icy after the bin Laden raid.
Pakistan's powerful army was furious that the United States had mounted a military operation on its soil without advance warning. In turn, some U.S. leaders were suspicious that Pakistani security forces may have helped shield bin Laden.
After it emerged that Afridi had run a fake vaccination campaign in an effort to help the CIA find bin Laden, Pakistani authorities jailed him for alleged links to militants.
The sentence provoked outrage in the United States and the government cut a symbolic $33 million from an aid package to Pakistan.
Several militant groups, including the Taliban, have threatened to kill Dr. Afridi if he is ever released.
