New track off the Massive attack EP coming next month. Finally.

Finally watched District 9 tonight and it was hella good indeed. Great fun story and kick-ass action, my only problem I kept thinking that the main actor was Spike Jonze. I mean, obviously it wasn’t, but I just couldn’t keep shaking off that thought. But that’s just me. Also loved the many subtle science and sci-fi references. Along with Moon, District 9 is one of the greater sci-fi film to have come out in years. Go 2009 go! And there’s still Avatar to look forward to.

Also set to check out Casablanca on the big screen this weekend and it’s gonna be awesome. Next weekend has also got a screening of The Wizard of Oz and I’m so down for that too.

Ain’t had much else to blog about this week, hence the rather quiet activity around. I keep trying to make use of twitter as an alternative, but its a service I’m not really getting that into at the moment.

Meanwhile I stumbled across this neat little article/entry and linking mostly for the first paragraph, but you can check the rest here.

My whole theory of beautiful language holds that it comes from nameless, groups of people looking for a more expressive way to say something. I’m always thankful to get a note where someone praises a sentence I wrote. But what I really want is the kind of genius that takes “I’m leaving” and turns it into “I’m ghost” and then takes “I’m ghost” and turns it into “I’m Swayze.” Seriously, what kid decided to pull “Ducat” out of obscurity (at least obscurity for us 80s city kids) and use it as easy as bread, or ends, or greenbacks? Who decided that a gun should be called a “heater” and then a “toaster” and then finally a “biscuit”?

Disappeared for a bit there. I’ve been watching a new movie pretty much whenever I’m not working and it’s been great, but leaves little time for other things like blogging as one might notice. Been keeping close to the average set out in the last post though. About 10 movies watched in the last four days. Think I might take a break tonight, but that could change later.

Meanwhile, I’ve started up a twitter account which you might notice on the sidebar. Something of a tester just for September, but so far… meh. Find it fairly redundant to be posting about what I’m doing all the time and haven’t even bothered to use the mobile phone feature cause honestly… who the hell wants to know that I’m at the supermarket or what movie I’m watching or how many cancers I’ve cured in an afternoon? I mean, asides from the obligatory stalker, but they’ve already got this blog. Mind you, if they wanna real time stalk, more power to them… the hell am I saying?

Pretty tired now, so a few links and then yeah, why not? Let’s do one more movie tonight…

The Pixies have announced a one off gig next year and I’m pretty damn keen to get myself a ticket. [full article]
