hello sinisterines. i can't hold back anymore, i just have to ask who gave me a list crush vote. please tell me, it's ripping me up inside wondering who the secret admirer is. but, since i know how sick you people get of hearing about list crush votes, i'll stop talking about it now. onto bigger and better things. have any of you seen the short films by/about tenacious D, "the greatest band on earth"? they showed them on Mr. Show (on HBO here in the US) a few years back, and i think they may have shown them on saturday night live, too. but since i don't watch either of those shows i have no idea how recently the short films have been shown. now, you may be asking yourself, "how would she know about these films if she doesn't watch the television programs they were aired on?" well, kids, the answer to that is quite simple: my friend's older sister taped them and i watched them at her house a couple years back. so there. :P anyway, the point of all this is that i'm becoming more willing to get past my dislike of john cusack to see high fidelity simply because one of the guys from tenacious d is in it. i'm not sure if it's a big part or not, but he's so funny i think i may go see the movie when it comes to town. and about the subject line: i've started renting movies now that i can watch them on my computer and i need something to do when i don't feel like working. last night i rented scream 2 because i was curious and i really like the first one. anyway, that was a mistake. my house of 7 people is empty because it's spring break, i live on the 3rd floor, and it was raining last night. i spent some portions of the movie lying on my bed with my pillow over my head. but, luckily, i rented dark city, as well, so that when i finally did go to bed i had pleasant images in my head instead of blood and gore. and knives. one of my favorite things about movies like scream is spending the bulk of the movie trying to figure out who's going to die, and who the killer is. i was so disappointed at the end when i discovered that i'd identified one of the killers in the first 20 minutes of the movie. bastards. they made it too easy this time. oh well. and figuring who would die wasn't so hard, all i had to do was see who the cast of scream 3 was and then figure that anybody who wasn't in that was as good as dead. ahh, but i'll stop all this talk of scary movies now. it's not very twee, is it? i'm actually just killing time until friends comes on. yes, i admit it, i like that horrible show. i think it's hilarious. i'm not sure why, but i can easily say that even if you hate most of the people in it (as i do), lisa kudrow makes it all worthwhile. i mean, have you people seen clockwatchers? or romy and michelle's high school reunion? fucking GRATE movies. i didn't think i'd like romy and michelle's . . . at first. but then a friend of mine sat me and some other kids down and forced us to watch it. after that, every time i went out to rent a video with a different friend, we inevitably migrated over to where romy and michelle's was, and now i own it. ;) alas, i've got nothing left to say, so i'll leave you be. -kerry "if you don't ask me out to dinner i don't eat." -stanley donwood +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
