Sinister: An Anti-Blair Witch post (please don't kill me)

<< I saw the Blair Witch Project today, and have to tell you all that it was 
 pretty much the biggest disappointment of my LIFE. >>

Right on.  I paid $8.25 to see this lame-ass peice of shite movie and I'm 
quite upset.   I know its my own stinking fault for insisting we see it in 
the nicest, newest theatre in the city, but I still think the owners should 
have to validate charging such exhorbitant amounts for pure pish.  The 
dialogue was mediocre at best, the acting was terrible (especially the much 
maligned Heather) and the plot got old real fast.  I mean, the days lasted 
for about 5 minutes worth of footage and everynight the same damn thing 
happened.  All the kids seemed to do during the day was lay around in the 
underbrush pissing and moaning that they were lost rather than doing 
something about it and walking.  Plus I thought the whole idea that anyone in 
the their right mind would actually go chasing after something in the woods 
in the dead of night with a camera and flashbulb pretty far-fetched.  Balls 
that big are usually seen rolling behing Indiana Jones.  I really, really 
wanted to like this movie but sadly it was a major letdown.
With that piss and vinegar out of the way, I belatedly bought the new Flaming 
Lips album and I like it very much.  I like it as much as I hated Blair Witch 
you could say.  I never really got into the Flaming Lips before (the only 
other album I've heard is Transmissions From the Satellite Heart) so can 
anyone tell me if their older records are anything like The Soft Bulletin?  A 
big "pshaw" to anyone who says B&S and the FLs are pre-occupied with 
muscianship over letting loose.  Half of B&S's songs sounds like heartfelt 
jam sessions, not mapped out, pretentious music.  Same goes for the FLs only 
maybe to a lesser degree...
I got a new job in a record store (yes that one that I begged advice 
regarding ages ago) and everyone who works there seems to hate this one girl 
named Michelle D.  She's usually referred to as "that bitch" or "that bitch 
Michelle" so I expected her to be a real...well...bitch.  When I had to sign 
a paper for my employee discount on The Soft Bulletin I noticed that Michelle 
had picked up a copy of Tigermilk on her store account the day it came out.  
I guess if she digs B&S she can't be too bad can she?  If you're on this list 
Michelle, just know you're aces in my book...but you're not scoring too high 
with the others.  What do they know anyway?
I noticed someone commenting that Fox in the Snow is reminscent of We Rule 
The School.  Going on with that thread (probably not a good idea, but oh 
well...) I think that the intro to If You're Feeling Sinister sounds quite 
the intro to Expectations.  I apologize if someone else has already taken 
them to task for this...forty lashes across me bum.
I hope this finds everyone in good health and in various stages of 
drunkeness....
