I’m back in the world. The Groonkly homestead has been freshly visited. The not so subtle reminders of my life circumstances mostly back in check. The NOLA disaster helped with much of that. Being away from what had become routine rounded out the rest of it. Even one minute away from the front lines would take the edge off a soldiers mindset. I’m not comparing my situation to war in any way. Though the thought ran naked through my mind more than once when I returned to my apartment.
I’m keeping up with the NOLA situation over on the blog page mostly. Since The Clean-up, The Blame Passing, The Everything will be going on for months if not years, I’m sure an article will stand out to my eyes from time to time.
In the meantime I’ve turned from the grim realities of the world with some art. When everything is at it’s worse and you see no way out…make art. Or in this case, watch it.
As per usual with this particular noise, links to the movies trailers are provided with the movie names.
High Tension the first thriller movie in some time that raises my eyebrow and has me wondering, “What would I do if some scuzzy guy started wandering through my house with dubious intentions?”
The Warrior is a foreign action film featuring unconventional samurai movie action with largely untrained actors. It sounds like a mess but damn if it doesn’t look like a winner.
Waiting is possibly my professional career. I’m not talking about the service industry type of waiting but the “You look like you’re waiting for something, Neo” brand. Waiting tables will most likely become my day job because of my stupid waiting. Waiting the movie features Ryan Reynolds using his thespian skills for pure comedy. And to that move I give him a rousing, ‘Huzzah!’, cause Reynolds can be one funny bastard when he has a want to. Waiting the movie‘s director has a Director’s Blog and everything. Blogging is the new marketing.
Walk the Line is a Johnny Cash movie. I’m looking forward to seeing a Johnny Cash movie. 1990s Groonk would beat the shit out of 2000s Groonk without a second thought if he knew that.
Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon in IMAX 3D. This is the only way I’ll ever fulfill my childhood dream of becoming an astronaut, I imagine. Though the trailer looks to give those “we didn’t walk on the moon” nutbars more sugar for their nut confections. Tom Hanks didn’t think of that when he backed this flick did he? That’s why you need me on your team, Tom. To think of these things and offer solutions, like pointing the nutbars to some obscure Roswell paraphenalia or flashing a pic of me and Elvis eating banana-fudge donuts at a Krispy Kreme in Holly Pond, AL.
You need me there, Tom. Stop denying it.
Consider this my official application.
That is all.
