it's Gregg Araki, everyone!
Ok, it's one thing to be the maker of a Top Quality movie - MYSTERIOUS SKIN - but it's an entirely other realm to be that AND the maker of the most celebrated film of a generation - nowhere.
MYSTERIOUS SKIN is just awesome. There's absolutely no flaws in that film, it's a masterpiece, not some half-baked idea that gets 1/4 cooked...(unlike most movies these days...).
nowhere is possibly the greatest film ever.
Personally, I'd be surprised of KABOOM comes anywhere near the quality of these two movies. I mean, I wasn't too thrilled with THE DOOM GENERATION, TOTALLY F***ED UP was OK, not a classic or anything like that.... And THE LIVING END was about as good as TFU.
But still; it's nice to know he's at least trying. The odds of him succeeding are better than most movie-makers...

are you eating it or is it eating you?
I saw this "cleansing drink" on Google Product Search when my pursuit of a poster for THE STUFF that resembled the original VHS cover-art failed...didn't see the added word "extra" at first, but anyway.........

Letters To Two00tu / when Finch was fab
Dedicated to Megan Irvin (sp?) circa 2001-2002. I don't know if she liked any significant number of these albums, but I was glad to have discovered this "trend" when I did, when I was so hopelessly infatuated with her and these singers' hearts were bleeding on the microphone...from about 2001-2005 I was having the time of my life...pop-punk and emo is still popular, but the "big names" in the genre have more in common with Green Day than Blink 182, focusing on the stupid-jokes and the dirty sounding guitars than the breathtaking emotional resonance...
