Sinister: Sometimes a subject line is just a subject line/unfashionhably petulant

A HUCK FINN MOMENT

Boo!

I'm still alive...errr, actually, much to my suprise I found out I still 
had access to my old email account, an account that has something like 
three hundred unread Sinister posts on it because I never unsubbed when I 
got my new email account.

WELCOME TO THE FILMHOUSE

Anywho, before I do the unsubscribe dance from this email addy, and close 
it down so I don't have to worry about ever checking it again, I thought 
I'd pass this on to anyone who hadn't seen it:

There's a fairly good interview with Todd Solondz up at the onion's AVclub 
site, worth a look as he talks about Storytelling and his films in general.

I haven't seen Storytelling yet, but the reviews of it I've caught have 
been fairly harsh.

MAGIC OF A KIND WORD

Gillanders = ace chap.

I'd already known that of course, but I'd thought I'd let everyone in on 
it.

Thanks for the kind words, Richard, and do be careful on the crutches. 
I've had to hobble about on those things before. Crutches = Not Fun.

Richard said;

"he has a vast number of opinions too.  and isn't afraid to use them"

...but at least I don't take my opinions very serious. I'm not sure if 
it's a virture or a vice, but it at least keeps me from acting like a 
petulant child.

He also said;

"I always find myself disbelieving it was actually all typed"

You should hear me talk; I'm amazed Elise can stand it sometimes :)

My Brain/Mouth filter was shorted out years ago by massive amounts of 
caffine and sugar.

THE DEPARTMENT OF "WHAT WAS THE QUESTION?"

Errr...when did I become a supporter of causes? What causes? Shit, I 
missed the memo again didn't I? There was a cause?

I just thought there was a mildly amusing post with a valid point about 
stereotypical diehard indie fans.

Ah, well, that'll teach me to open my mouth. Once again we see the dangers 
of taking things seriously.

Things like subject lines, for example.

ABSINTHE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER

I've been gone and back before, I may be again.

Until then; keep your powder dry, be Sinister (but kind), and whatever you 
do:

DO NOT FEED THE DUCKS MEAT

"I haven't feel geeky or dumb since I was 17. I don't feel marginalised or
outmoded and neither should anyone else in this thriving, multiplex 
society.When will successful, creative, intelligent people stop thinking of
themselves as childlike outsiders and start engaging with the real
high-stakes world? Wake up fanboy, wake up fangirl.
Don't you want to rule the world?" - Grant Morrison
