Last week, I went to go see Walk the Line at the Majestic... a movie theatre built more like a comedy club type place... really fancy, not too expensive ticket wise, but I thought their menu sucked for food, and drinks of course were very expensive...
at first I was somewhat skeptical.... It seemed like a movie made to cash in (no pun intended) on the Johnny Cash fad, and to cater to all those shallow goatee-wearing college-radio-listening coffee-house-loitering kids who equate listening to Johnny Cash with being hip... lol, the main reason I was interested in seeing the film was due to Joaquin Phoenix... if anyone has seen U-Turn, then you're familiar with the character he played- Toby N Tuck-ah, "but people around heah call me T-N-T, 'cause when Ah go off, people get huht"... a full-of-shit looser that dresses up like Johhny Cash and bullies people around... Admitidly, the movie started off a little slow, and seemed like it was just going to be a hero-worship piece... but as the movie got rolling, it started getting better... regardless of who the movie was based on, at the core, it was a movie about love, and how love can destroy a life as well as save a life... about self-loathing and self-punishment for ones own personal failures... Robert Patrick and Reese Witherspoon definitly stole the show I thought... lol, and Jerry Lee Lewis in the film kinda reminded me of Beavis (he had the hair and the facial structure anyway....)
Sunday I went to go see Rasputina in Lawrence... I ran into a very unexpected and familier face... Tracy... I was happy to see her again, glad to see she was ok... I went up to her, just wanting to talk to her again, ask her how she's been, let her know what Ive been up to... I walked up to her, and she looked terrified of me... started walking off, and later outright ignored me... I dont know if she hates me or fears me, but both unsettles me... She is, was such a good person deep down inside, and it shames me to think that I have hurt her... and frustrates me that she wont give me the chance to make amends... or even talk to me about it, let me know what it was that I did... leaving me to guess what happened.... I wish she could forgive me, for whatever it was that I did to her... I still have feelings for her... I just wish she would have given me the chance to let her know that.... or if not that, then at least told me how she felt about me...
then again, how could I have helped her back then? She is emotionaly fragile, and I am emotionaly distant...
The opening act was Alacartoona, a parisian vaudiville cabaret local act.... it was alot of fun, they use primaryly accordian/bass/drums in their music, interlaced with comedy skits, cheesy raunch jokes... all in all one of the best new acts Ive heard this year... also Dame Darcy played, who was this Banjo/tamborine soloist... sang songs about victorian lady pirates... kinda reminded me of a classy Diamanda Galas...
There was a person in the crowd who said that I looked like Andy Kauffman... I guess I kinda do, lol
Rasputina... I didnt think the show was as good as the one that they had at the bottleneck last year... the stage seemed to be too big for them... and there were a few drunken frat idiots that kept shouting during the show... the set list had a few good surprises, but the band seemed to not be to into it that night... but it was still a fine show.... I just wish that Tracy wouldnt have been so frightened of me....
Last night, I went to this place after work with a few co-workers called "Dave And Busters"... imagine Chuck-E-Cheese's, but for rich high-scale yuppy adults... think the scene in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas where Raul Duke is talking about "what america would be like if the nazis had won world war II", and there you have it... expensive as hell too... appearantly, they wont let you just put coins in slots... you have to buy a card there, and put credits on that card to play the games... and the games are expensive as hell.... ah well.... didnt make it out till about 12ish... by that time, I figured that Davey's would be all emptied out, so I decided to head out to the Point... later on the daveys folks showed up there... I kinda felt bad about not going to daveys 1st, but ah well... there's always next week....
and here I am... getting ready for christmas shopping... yesterday, my workplace secret santa got me the new depeche mode CD, and a... 10.00 best buy card... I think I may either get Downfall, Duckula, or the new Rammstein album... not sure yet....
