tomatopocalypse

I was really worried about Resident Evil: Apocalypse’s 24% on rottentomatoes.com, until I saw that the original only scored 35%. Which means I will probably be happy to go and see it, if all I want is Milla firing guns at zombies. Which I do. Oh, how I do. The MPAA warning is enough of a review for me:
NON-STOP VIOLENCE, LANGUAGE, AND SOME NUDITY
Anyone else want to make Resident Evel with me? It would be a fan movie about an indestructible zombie motorcycle rider with a penchant for flashy jumpsuits.

Update: Milla Jovovich released a alternative-folksy-pop The Divine Comedy in 1994, “(i)nspired by a love of "elves and magic trees", Milla penned the lyrics at 15, recorded it when she was 16, and released it when she was 18(...)” Like many people, I was stunned at its quality, and have long hoped for a follow-up album. In an MTV interview regarding Resident Evil: Apocalypse, they asked about her music; she revealed that her personal site has downloads of demo tracks on which she has since worked, as well as links to other music project on which she has collaborated.

Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )

on sheeps and androids

The movie Blade Runner is very dear to my heart. It is a treatise on the nature of existence expanding on, and perhaps exceeding the reach of the Phillip K. Dick work which inspired it, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Perhaps I have missed out on some greater subtlety of PKD's work, but the point of DADoES pursues the definition of fake, while Blade Runner instead focuses on what is real. Where the replicants in the novel are sociopathic monsters who emulate emotions solely to gain traction against humans who may hunt them, the humans there rely on machines to dictate their own emotions for them. They dial for "energetic determination" or "six-hour self-accusatory depression." As much as the replicants are machines incapable of real emotion, humans are similarly reliant on a machine to simulate emotion for them. In contrast, the movie's central them is spelled out for us in Deckard's apartment, when Rachel is playing the piano. She professe...
