Been Chillin'

And whooooooooeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

So I been kinda chillin' over that last week or so, what with no work or nothing. Watched the Kevin Smith back catalogue of films from the local Video Ezy. One thing that pisses me off is the shitty quality of the DVDs I've been hiring. Not the content, althought Black Knight is pure garbage, but the actual condition of the DVDs. I've had to take 3 back because my DVD player wouldn't read them or would stutter and shut itself down when it encountered bad encoding errors.

I'm used to seeing DIVX clips mosaic over like an epileptic vision switcher's paintbox control, but on these DVDs!!!

Also saw A Clockwork Orange all the way through, instead of in bits and pieces, as well as The Excorcist. It was interesting, watching a pretty hokey film rendition of demons incarnate in a pre-pubescent girl, followed by the exorcism itself.

This coupled with the treatment of Christian dogmatic theology in Dogma was quite thought provoking. In The Excorcist the two priests go through all this ritual crap to cast out a demon, when in reality the simple commandment to leave, spoken by any Christian (and I mean it in the "one who aspires to be Christ-like", not in the "Believes-in-God-At-Christmas") in the name of Jesus should have been successful.

I don't know, maybe I'm desensitized to violence and horror or maybe because I know the outcome of the game before it's even been played, but films like The Excorcist, Stigmata, End of Days, etc aren't that spooky or anything to me.

In other news, KLOK has another gig at SU Leaders weekend. When I pay off my credit card I'll finally get the website launched under it's own domain name, but for the meantime I am tweaking design.

I must go now and have lunch. At 8.45pm.

Boy do I feel rock and roll!!!
