Last weekend —
Conversations about Iraq event. Drinks.
Drinks on Mike K’s patio.
Hit Book on DM&J’s patio.
Film
The Holy Mountain. Total phsycadelic freak out movie. I mean they were literally on drugs. The story didn’t do much for me, but the sets and production made it worth while.
The Power of Nightmares. This BBC doc that follows the source of the Neo Cons and Islam extremists. The DVD from netflix only had one episode on it. It’s only an hour. You can fit more than an hour on a DVD. Anyhow I watched the other 2 videos on google video. This pretty much reinforced a lot of ideas that I already had, as in the shit we’re presented is generally not the real case and we’re constantly operating in crisis mode. Russia! Iraq! Al Queda! SARS! Iraq! Pig Disease! … yeah ok settle down. As long as we’re stuck in freak out mode, there’s no time to wait.
The Life and Times of Allen Ginsberg. Ah to be a poet. Chanting. Humming. Wearing glasses. Growing beards. Freaking out the squares.
Overnight. Whoa. This is about the fella that wrote and made Boondock Saints. Which I’ve never seen. Anyhow, incredible douche. I even read that the guy who made and edited the documentary on this goofball didn’t even put in a lot of the worst stuff cause he didn’t want it to look like a total hatchet job.
