Sinister: Harry Potter makes baby Jesus cry

[JAMES GILMER]

Yes, I saw the movie today. I went to an afternoon showing to try and avoid 
the rush (didn't help much, I suspect there were a lot of empty seats at 
school today).

Brilliant. Utterly charming and smart, and it stayed true to the novel. The 
actors were perfectly cast, the special effects worked rather well for the 
most part, and the atmosphere was dead on.

I happened to be telling my dad how much I'd enjoyed it a moment ago, when 
he told me about mentioning the film to a co-worker who had kids, said 
person replied; "I wouldn't take my kids to see that WITCHCRAFT!! I'm a 
Christian!"

Ahh, fuck those people, fuck them with knives. I've got no patience with 
people who are worried that an invisible superhero who lives in outer space 
might not approve of Harry Potter. Kids love Harry and his books and they'll 
love the movie, and that's about all that matters.

That, and the fact that JK Rowling is rather sexy, and goodness knows we 
need more sexy writers. I caught a Beatles special awhile ago where they 
interviewed her and she told a story about coming home drunk off her ass (or 
arse, in this case) one night on the train singing "Hey, Jude" rather loudly 
and how the whole train car joined in.

Is there any question why I think Rowling is ace?

Moo hoo ha ha! I've got you people saying it now! I'm strangely proud of 
starting that meme.

Punk Rock!! \m/

Speaking of PUNK ROCK! things; Black Cherry soda is my new addiction. I'm 
drinking the ICB stuff right now, bu it was this brand out in Portland I had 
(I think it was Thomas Kemper's or something, wish I could find it around 
here) that started my addiction. Yummy stuff.

boy called..."

And now I have that bloody song stuck in my head. Someone hand me the mental 
floss, Beatles song or not, I need that out of my head.

Laura Llew revealed my secret past as a 50's teen idol when she wrote: The 
Real Jimmy G: http://www.gocontinental.com/photos/gilmer_j_2a.jpg

Ahh, you got me Llew, my secret's out.

The scariest thing is my dad used to have an old 45 of "Jimmy Gilmer & the 
Fireballs" featuring the rather annoying song "Go Jimmy, Go" on it.

the bloody hell the white stripes have a job?"

Agreed, I liked one or two songs I'd heard by them, but for the most part 
they're a talent-free zone.

Speaking of Talent-Free Zones; Tori Amos. I suspect alien mind-altering rays 
are responsible for her popularity. I always get crap from a few friends 
about my opinion on this, but I'm sorry, i must have just missed the boat 
here. The same goes for Magnetic Fields. I just don't get it; "WOW! 69 
completely medicore songs about love sang in mildly different styles!! What 
a fucking genius!"

Added to the fact that he's a bit of a twat onstage, and I just don't 
understand it at all.

"But Jim!! It's part of his act! The way he sits up there and pretentiously 
glowers down at the audience! Look! He's smoking! He's on stage and he's 
singing medicore, boring songs and he's SMOKING!"

Obviously a fucking genius, why didn't I see it before?

oh, do put the torches down, it's just my opinion. I usually try not to slag 
off bands, as I really hate music snobs and try deperately not to sound like 
one, but I'm not above offering my opinion from time to time.

I'm quite excited about the Sinister picnic, and yes, more details to follow 
soon. I've heard rumours that the noodle goddess herself may grace the 
event, assuming she asks for the day off (which she had better).

So make sure you Chicago (and near) people come and join Elise, ~stine, 
Nikki, Kirsten (hopefully), and the rest of us Sinister peeps on December 
1st in the big C-town.

Both Kirsten and Elise wrote of their lovely day in Madison and Elise wrote 
"hopefully next time Jimmy G can come with too."

Sure, rub in the fact the fact that I missed spending a day exploring a city 
I love with two of the coolest girls in the midwest.

*sigh*

I want my rocket car goddammit!!

Oh, thanks and cheers to all those who shared their "Best/Worse Chat-up 
Lines", I was greatly amused. They made an annoying week quite a bit better.

And lastly, on the subject of love (which just won't die, will it?):

"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make"

That is all you need to know.

Heathen Boy, aka...)
