You said it best Mr. Eaton

Sometimes the boys
That Should be your best friends
Become strangers with familiar faces...



Currents:

Music:
Kowloon Walled City-Gambling on the Richter Scale (pretty killer sludge/noise. FFO: Breather Resist, Torche, Unsane)
Katatonia-Night is the New Day (band needs no introduction. Good gloomy/dark metal with Jonas Renske sounding pretty bummed as usual.)
The Bronx-I (because it always rules no matter how many times I spin it.)
Converge-Axe to Fall (do I really need to explain how much this rules?)

Movies:
Se7en-For some reason, I had never seen this gem. Very disturbing at times, with a smart and well written script. Brad Pitt was good, but Kevin Spacey and Morgan Freeman easily stole the show here. I already knew the ending going in, but it still felt like a punch to the gut.
Trick 'r Treat-One of the best horror films of the year, and one of the better horror anthologies I've seen in quite some time. How the hell was this not released to theaters? Stupid Warner Bros.
Saw VI-I have a hit or miss relationship with this franchise. I'd rank them III>I>II>V>>>>IV. This is gonna be right behind #3 though. Hell, this one pretty much saved the franchise, though it wasn't without it's faults (poor acting being the primary complaint). This was pleasant surprise though. Good gore, pretty good script, NASTY couple of traps, and for once, a unanimously good reason to root for Jigsaw. Give this one a chance, especially if you gave up on this franchise.
The Thaw-One of the new "Ghost House" flicks put out by Sam Raimi's company. Too derivative of other better Scifi/Horror flicks like the Thing and Slither. At least it had Val Kilmer. Then again, he was barely in the film. Pass on this one unless you're a Ghost House completest.

Books:

Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling- Bret Hart's autobiography is a long one, but it's incredibly fascinating. He goes over nearly aspect of his life, especially his wrestling career. He was one of my favorites growing up, and still remains so, even after reading some pretty disheartening things he did (such as cheating on his then-wife numerous times and even taking steroids and coke a couple of times). This book will most likely reduce the amount of respect you had for Shawn Michaels.

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell- I've had this book for a couple of years or so, but never got around to reading it. I regret waiting this long. Without a doubt, one of the lewdest, rudest, and just all around "assholish" books I've ever read. But good lord is it funny. There were times I was almost in tears with some of his stories he recanted. I can't understand why there are people out there who protest this guy. They're just stories, and more than anything, subliminal cautionary tales on how to not act.


That's it...again...
