today i saw one of the most intriguing fims that i have ever seen. it was called Superstar, and it was about the rise and fall of Karen Carpenter. The catch is that it was done with barbie dolls. At first it was both startling and hilarious. But once the initial surprise had past it became clear that the choice was brilliant on many levels. The most obvious reason being that, other than it being a documentary on KC, it was also a commentary on anorexia. It had the creepiest cuts, like this other barbie being spanked, and archie bunkers wife. Apparently, the movie was banned b/c the director didn't get permission to use the Carpenters material. I wish i could remember the director's name, but it is by the same guy who did Velvet Goldmine. I dreamt I had to go to Mars In Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying, I am convinced that he says "Flying" one time at the beginning of the the second stanza of "dying[s]". I heard something rather peculier the other day. someone told me that Dunkin' Donuts and 7eleven's are popping up all over Europe. It's just strange to me for some reason. I just think America needs a Safeway is all, really. Not really, though, because when i was at Safeway a year ago, they made you bag all of your own groceries, while in America, it comes free with paying for all the food you just bought. Except, in Safeway they sell bottles of spirits, a whole isle to choose from at that. In America you'd be lucky to get a bottle of cooking wine in a grocery store. I went to a Burger King in Edinburgh one time, yeah, and it would be like going to an actual sit down restaurant over here. I mean, the whopper actually looked the way it did in the picture fer chrissakes. Burger King in America= somebody taking an old, worn out patty, throwing a slice of cheese (from oil and water, mind you!) adding a slice of tomato with the green part all over it, and then some shredded lettuce from a bag, for good measure. Ketchup, Mayo top of the bun, and then a huge hand smashing down on top of it, squishing it all together, so that it's as thin as a pancake. Moral=> cook for youself. I just couldn't ever listen to my grandmothers advice because she was clinically insane. jealousy, i guess. maybe not. yours truly, phil r _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
