    This film is unadulterated genius, no question.

    Yes, there is some incredibly low-brow humour, but it's used in a way that is brilliantly satiric. There's "lowest common demoninator" sex, violence & humour in pretty much every movie nowadays and this film's use of the aforementioned conventions does so in a way that mocks them all.

    The entire film is a wickedly biting satire of American jingoism, action films & the hubris of Hollywood, western society's misguided social & cultural choices for heroes and much, much more!

    And, for the ladies, quality cock jokes. Good times!

    Can someone direct me to some streamable Slip?

    Not sure if they're worth my while to head out on a school night so I figure I'll give 'em a listen before making my decision. :)

    Much obliged!

    Love always,

    SP

    Anyone? Anyone? I'd like to get started on my listening if possible. Thanks again. :)

    Gather 'round kiddies, it's story time:

    Once upon a time, I reckon about 1990, my friends and I had awakened after a night of serious drunkenness. And not good drunkenness--we're talking girls still in high school drunkenness, complete with malibu rum, wildberry coolers and peach schnapps and orange juice (we were quite the connoisseurs).

    In any case, we awoke and my friend Angie came back from the bathroom (where she had been for an inordinately large amount of time) and declared, "I just took a sh!t and it looked like Manitoba."

    "The province?" I asked

    "Yep."

    Then we all giggled hysterically.

    This was funny for many months. I even mailed her a map of Canada, anonymously, with the province of Manitoba coloured in brown marker.

    Anyway, the moral of this story is that whenever I think of Manitoba, I think of poo. In fact, I frequently use the word interchangeably with poo as a verb or noun, depending on the situation. If you're pooing, you can say you are "in Manitoba". Or the poo itself could be Manitoba.

    Sorry, that's a pretty sh!tty story, I know...

    Now where'd I leave my poo rag?

  10. Who hates pants?

    You know, Trev, the longer I know you, the more I think you're probably most comfortable in a nudist colony--no wonder you spend so much time on centre island. This supposed "disc golf" infatuation of yours is really just a "cover-up" for your obsession with weekend nudity @ Hanlon's Point.

    I mean, you have this raging hate-on for "foot prisons" aka socks, now we learn that you despise stupid pants AND stupid shoes...

    Really, the only logical conclusion is that Cyberhippie is a W.N. (Weekend Nudist).

    Ahh Sobey's... How I hate that grocery store. I miss my Loblaws. Life in the suburbs, what can ya do...

    1) yeah no kidding... It's not usually bad, but every once in while it smells a bit funky. Thank god for incense.

    2) What do you reccomend?

    3) When is the festival? I noticed this past weekend was the taste of Kingsway festival. Didn't check it out though.

    Where exactly do you live down there anyway?

    Other questions, not sure if you'd have the answers, but... Where do you get chinese food from? Where do you get pizza from? Anyway to get roti's from?

    Let's call it Blowby's from now on! :)

    Re: Wiggles--They've got a great selection. Really, no matter what you pick, you can't go wrong.

    You just missed the Ukrainian Fest (count your blessings)--it's insane--they shut down Bloor from Jane to Runnymede and it's just one large Ukrainian beer garden.

    I live on Coe Hill Drive (a few houses north of the Queensway between Ellis and Wyndermere).

    Haven't found local Roti--Bacchus actually isn't too far from me by car (Queensway->Queen & Dufferin?). We order our pizza (the best pizza in Toronto, by the way) from Vesuvio's--though I heard Coe Hill is the furthest west they deliver, sadly. As for Chinese, I've never ordered any in the 2 years I've lived there--though I will consult my upstairs neighbours. :)

    Yo! T-Bone! FYI, I'm calling you T-Bone exclusively from now on (unless you want to be called Koko..?)

    Nice seeing you at Sobey's last night--hope you were able to find everything you were looking for and your ribs turned out okay. My pizza was fantastic (thanks for the tip on the location of the dough!).

    Just a few tips now that you're livin' in my 'hood:

    1. Yes, with just one small shift of the wind it can go from smelling like cookies (Mr. Christie factory) to rancid poo (sewage treatment facility).

    2. The porn shop you were looking for is called "Wiggles"--its on the Queensway and they *do* advertise a "back door entrance".

    3. Yes, the Ukrainian Festival *is* the biggest excitement Bloor West Village has to offer--nothin' better than drinkin', dancin' and eatin' perogies!

    Let me know if you need any more help assimilating to your new, foreign environment.

    ;)

  22. Film Fest-Extra Tix-Lightning in a Bottle

    I could go see this film at the fest this week--just wondering if anyone's heard anything about it...?

    This is the film fest propaganda--I can't find anything else anywhere about it:

    Since 1903, when W.C. Handy heard a man in a train station slide a knife across the strings of his guitar, the blues has slowly emerged from its roots in African-American slave songs to become the sophisticated popular argot we know a century later. Handy became one of the first people to transcribe and publish music for a blues song and, only a few years later, the recording industry was alerted to the potential of "race records" when Mamie Smith, the first black woman to record a blues vocal, sold more than one million copies of "Crazy Blues." As the music moved north to Chicago and Detroit, transplanted artists like Muddy Waters exchanged their acoustic guitars for electric models and pumped up their sound with drums, harmonica and stand-up bass. Electrified blues with a beefed-up bass got people to dance; R 'n' B and rock 'n' roll were soon to follow. In the sixties, a new generation of British musicians like the Rolling Stones covered their idols Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, creating a brand of rock saturated with blues influence.

    No ordinary concert movie - but what a great concert movie - Lightning in a Bottle is the record of an amazing evening at Radio City Music Hall in 2003, when a host of artists paid tribute to the blues. Legendary performers contribute to this history, from Angelique Kidjo's African opener "Zélié," Mavis Staples's gut-wrenching "See That My Grave is Kept Clean," Keb' Mo's cover of Robert Johnson's "Love in Vain" and Solomon Burke's recollection of singing "Down in the Valley" to hostile white audiences in the South. The backup band features Levon Helm, Dr. John, Danny Kortchmar and, occasionally, Buddy Guy.

    Lightning in a Bottle combines archival footage, backstage banter among blues giants sharing stories, song rehearsals - including Ruth Brown's incredible "(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean" - and phenomenal performances. The final highlight is B.B. King: at eighty, he's in great voice and Lucille is as solid as ever. This film rules.

    I naturally told all my U.S. friends who were going to moedown to check out Burt Neilson Band...I got a number of IMs this week from various friends RAVING about them!

    Quote: Burt Neilson band was awesome, you were right. . .

    they were a great sound to wake up to....hell, I even danced in a near-comotase pre-coffee state!

    Right on guys! Good job! :)

  25. Soup's A Good Meal!!

    I love soup. I make all kinds of soup. I made soup for dinner last night--it was delicious! (Curried split pea and potato..mmmm..)

    A quote from Basher (who LOVES soup more than any rational person should): I love soup. I don't think you can ever have too much. There's no reason why you shouldn't have it every day!! Sometimes, soup includes corn.

    (he also loves corn)

    Trevor, the best hot and sour soup in Toronto is @ Cafe 668 (located at 668 Dundas--coincidence?--between Spadina & Bathurst)--no joke, you MUST try it!! You will not be disappointed!
