"dear japanese people"


"Happy Sabrina" ...This movie-widget and homepage (too disturbing for work) fit in nicely with the running weird sheeeit from Japan theme. The shots of solitary cosplay in public make me think the guy is getting the same kind of visceral thrill that comes from streaking. Not that there's anything wrong with that. To clarify though, most Japanese people have the same look on their face about this that you're probably wearing. If you're not yet weirded out, here's a thong-backed shot.The subject line comes from a clasic caption from jwz (thanks, slinka!)

“I came back for my own purposes,” said the Time Traveler, looking around my booklined study. “I chose you to talk to because it was . . . convenient. And I don’t want you to do a goddamned thing.

review (kinda): collateral

After missing it in the Japanese theaters and on airplanes in-flight service and in hotel rooms’ pay-per-view, I finally saw Collateral last night via rental DVD. Due to a sense of high school nostalgia caused by Manhunter and Miami Vice (forgiving a misstep with The Keep ), I am willing to watch just about anything Michael Mann makes. Moreso that Heat , Collateral felt like a return to the stylings of Miami Vice’s action and drama, with natural, well-paced comedy to even out the emotional pacing. In a word, Collateral was good.

It is probably preferable; he did a good job with the arrogant, untouchable Lestat in Interview with the Vampire , though that character was a bit more ham-fisted than the role of assassin, Vincent, pla...
