Hulkster endorses Obama...
Click HERE for the story.
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside,
ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide,
Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
I feel strong about right and wrong,
And I don't take trouble for very long,
I got something deep inside of me, and courage is the thing that keeps us free,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
Well you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

things i've recently done...
Movies I've recently seen...
Eastern Promises: Good movie, pretty intense. Viggo is good. Might have been more interesting as a Donnie Brasco type movie than an almost love story. B
Gone Baby Gone: Solid movie here. Good use of place. This movie could have ended sooner, the twist was ok, but maybe not necessary. Also, not necessary, Michelle Monaghan's character. Good performance by Amy Ryan (Officer Beadie Russell from the Wire). B+
Paris Je'Taime: A collection of about 15 short films about Paris. A few real nice ones here, especially the Coen brothers' one with Steve Buscemi. B-
The Namesake: I was forced to watch this. About what I expected. Not terrible, but nothing I'd really see without some series coercion. B-
I Still Plan to See: There Will Be Blood, Cloverfield, Rambo.
CD's I've recently heard...
The Whigs, Mission Control: Good rock album. I like it better than their first one. A few of the songs have been stuck in my head for a while. They are pretty good live too. B+
Fred Thomas, Flood: Dude from Saturday Looks Good to Me plays some quieter lo-fi acoustic based numbers. Less poppy than SLGTM also a bit more dissonance in the background. B
Vandermark 5, Beat Reader: Really good. I'm don't really understand why I like this stuff, but I do. I can't really explain it or talk about it intelligently , but its' good. A
Chris Walla, Field Guide: The dude from Death Cab for Cutie, made a pretty ok, but forgettable album. You will hear it and think its ok, then forget you ever heard it. C+
Rivers Cuomo, Alone: The Home Recordings: The dude from Weezer releases some old stuff. Like most releases of this nature, there are some good ones and some turds. Luckily more of them are pretty decent. The turds really stink though, like the one where he kinda whispers the verses and Kurt Cobain yells the choruses. I made the comment that everyone liked Weezer at some point and now most people just don't care. A few of these songs remind me of when I cared. B
New CD's I'm just now listening to this week: Vampire Weekend (the actual release, not the bootleg I've had), Ida, Kelly Stoltz, Xiu Xiu

Big Trouble in Little China
This weekend, I went out with some friends and saw Big Trouble in Little China at the local rad movie theater. It had been forever since I've seen it, and to be honest I had kinda mixed it up with the other John Carpenter/Kurt Russell flick, Escape from New York. Anyway, Big Trouble in Little China is awesome. If you are looking for a good movie to watch with a few beers and a few friends. I highly recommend this film.
3D Tetris = Tetrical???
I thought I had stumbled on a unique time waster, then I discovered that there are lots of 3D Tetris games out there, plus, I don't really like Tetris.
