You're motoring. What's your
price for flight?
Everybody see the footage of RoboPope
cruising around Israel in his Go-Go Gadgetmobile? Best freakin'
Pope ever. You know why? He's a Polack! Of course,
why the Pope - head of the Catholic Church - would be in danger
visiting the land of Jesus is another question altogether...
It brings me to that barbeque in Uganda. If I may paraphrase
the beautiful Robin Quivers: When people kill others
in the name of religion, nobody wants to ban religion - but when
there's rock music or a book involved, everyone wants to see those abolished.
Fucking hypocrites. (That last part's from me, not Robin.)
Favorite Song Of All Time This Weekİ:
"Burning For You" - Blue Oyster Cult
You know, I still watch VH-1's The
List when I catch it - and there's still no other show on earth
more infuriating. I have found one thing to like about it
though, Finding Celebrities I Hateİ. This week's winner:
Adam Goldberg. Now, I've liked this guy in movies, especially Dazed &
Confused and Saving Private Ryan, but seeing what a
pretentious, self serving stupidass he is in real life really
changes things. What a dick. I know, I know - I'm the
guy who preaches "it doesn't matter how much of an asshole a
person is, it's their work that counts." Okay, his work
is good. And he's as asshole. Hell, he made Steven
Segall (also on the panel) seem intelligent and acceptable. Oh
yeah, the show was hosted by no neck, no talent Henry Rollins.
He's lucky. He's an asshole AND his work sucks. No
problem with my formula there.
Speaking of rotten TV... Freaks
& Geeks. Cancelled & Cancelled. In honor of
that's show's timely music references, let's all sing a rousing
chorus of Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)".
Always loveLEE and beatifulLEE

Speaking of queens... Man,
while dialing around on the TV last weekend I saw part of some Liza
Minnelli special on PBS. Yeesh. She absolutely sucks
ass. And, from the look of it, ass-sucking puts on the pounds. She's
got that weird body with a big round top and little spindly legs.
I'd suggest the only songs she should be singing anymore are from
"Time For Timer."

Copies this Weekİ:
The Straight Story [Disney]
Here's a good one. I mean, just a nice, goddamn movie.
Farnsworth is great, but Award worthy? I'd say there are too
many other overlooked performances this year. And as far as I
know, he ain't dying - so I really doubt he'll win. I'd
compliment Sissy Spacek, too - but then I'd have to hear about
the two of her 200 movies that she wasn't perfect in.
Anyway, it's fantastic to look at and that weird Lynch pacing that I
dig so much really works here. Angelo Badalamusic's score is,
as always, annoying. Once he gets past his Coct-faux Twins
rip-off crap, though, he finds a nice theme to use. Then he
uses it over, and over, and over, and over again. The only
really bad thing about this movie is that the line "it's like
David Lynch directing a Disney movie" don't work anymore.
Of course, could a duet between Mickey & The Lady In The
Radiator be too far behind?
Question Of The Weekİ: Who
is the ultimate power trio?
