Your Boring Saturday Night

xxxpost ha markers I wish -- I just have the Danny Kaye version on tv :)

xxp - Apparently the '50s were also a time of really oool lighting fixtures, but also really uncomfortable chairs

cool

i hate typos

hehe cafeteria style; keep your back straight.

We made ivy gourd in peanut-tamarind curry sauce and watched House of the Devil.

The curry was good, the movie was fine. Feel like they both could have used a few more ingredients.

♫ "da house of the devil is upon you"♫ lovely boringly retro movie, i defended it on in the new horror movie thread

didn't feel like getting beer, made hot chocolate with vodka in it instead

I hope the proprietors of that cafeteria realize they have a hole in their roof - there's some serious mold growth on the ceiling towards the right wall

Yeah I like Ti West's retro shtick. We watched The Innkeepers a few months ago. I wish he spent a little more time on plot mechanics, but plot wasn't the strong point of the movies he's paying tribute to. I really like how long he's willing to go -- in a short movie -- with basically nothing happening.

i embraced the lameless of it as it was unfolding in front of me, made me think of sat. afternoons watching some Commander USA's Groovie Movies , lame program but you sort of had to solider through it because it was somewhat interesting "information", rare back then. also, makes room for one's imagination, to make it better so you did not waste your time on it. the guy would probably hate my endorsing, i am so unreliable.

haha spider got crushed but i'm ok with it

keeping it boring.

haha i see that. but it wouldn't be the '50s without a CRACK IN THE FACADE (omg call todd haynes).

Twilight Zone the movie, yo

"wanna see something REALLY scary"

retroactive investigation entertainment: checking if some patrons got mold health issues.

gonna venture out of the house later

prob shaw's or walgreens. prob shaw's. we'll see.

Accidentally bought two pints at the pub i'm visiting alone and now look like a mentalist sitting at the bar with two drinks. Fuck it, time to read RIP NSFW, opinions of me will not be lowered.

haha how did you manage that?

I guess I was misheard and I'm an idiot who thinks it would be terribly rude or something to say "you misheard me". Also I told all my friends to meet here before we went dancing and well they don't seem to have agreed to that plan. So here I am.

prob shaw's or walgreens. prob shaw's. we'll see.

so far: shaw's

In the smallest hotel room in New York. Tonight plans have fallen through. Pondering whether to wander the streets or do some work.

Reading Robin Wood's Hollywood from Vietnam to Reagan while periodically making sure my bf is, in fact, working on his research paper.

refreshing ilx. considering reading some or maybe watching tv. sounds like a lot of work though.

Tried to watch 'Spring Breakers' and made it 30 mins, then bailed

no! it's great. i order you to try to watch it again.

making spaghetti, watching harry potter

what kind?

also: which movie?

made up sauce of vegetable/sausage spaghetti

harry potter + prisoner of azkaban. my favorite of all the potters

def (of the ones i read). hermione timetraveling to class is my favorite thing in the series.

i like the prisoner of azkaban too. although i disagree with jk rowling's decision to introduce time travel into the harry potter universe because once time travel is introduced it throws everything else into question. why not use that shit all the time? and if it is "too dangerous" to do that, why allow hermione to use it just to take a 5th class?

jesus

I love P of Az the movie because Cuaron makes Hogwart's a real place that exists in nature; it's so beautiful and the dementors were so terrible, strikes such a good balance imo

my favorite book is either Azkaban or Order of the Phoenix. I love the Sirius storyline so much.

marvelling how well Rembrandt Pussyhorse and Super Roots 6 go together as companion pieces.

drawing up some listening lists for the near future, and of course, milling around SNA looking for any action. Probably will catch myself up on the Trayvon thread here soon...then going to spend most of the rest of the night (hopefully) reading and writing which I am thinking may not be so boring.

i really like all the TIME! stuff: the camera dollying through the clock, someone reading stephen hawking near the beginning. i dunno why i don't think it's dumb. one of my favorite kids' movies ever. xp

yeah the time motif is wonderfully executed. and the "chapters" showing each season passing <3

I am house-sitting! And a cat is me-sitting. They said "help yourself" so it's a shot of mezcal and Anthony Marx's "Making Race and Nation".

saw bling ring tonight! and ate thai food. and felt shitty about the zimmerman verdict.
