V for Vendetta

V for Vendetta, good movie, I liked it. “the art of using lies to tell the truth” is a common thread of this movie. It originally seems like an allegory for the current American administration and media status (Bill O’Riley as the voice of London and everything). But it was published a decade ago between 1982 and 1985 as a graphic novel based on WWII. Maybe history repeats its self. But it’s a great social awakening. An extreme fascist single party state has arisen, called Norsefire, that maintains control of the country through food shortages (arising during the nuclear winter), government-controlled media, secret police, a planned economy, and concetration capms racial, political, and sexual minorities.
Oh and that annoying mask, it didn’t hit me until they said it in the movie, it’s a guy fawks mask. The man in 1905 tried to blow up parliaments and King James the first in the gun powder plot. The movie was good with one scene that was disappointing.
Ill give it*****

Oh my god its my blogger-versary

"Oh My God"... That was my first statment made for my first blog. wow i have opperated this thing for a year. that is crazy, it makes me feel old. well i think ill have a party.

my break: drag, mud, broke, smoking car

how are all of you. sorry, i have been busy. i tyr to keep up but dare i say it... i just dont have time for the blog i fear! but i will try and make it worth it. well lest start, i began my spring break waking up to ice sickles hangin from my window, fun. Nothing says spring break like getting up a 6 am because of hail against my window. Fuck you Nebraska weather… the strangest thing happened, it rained mud. It did, I originally thought my friend was high but it was. There was a dust storm in Oklahoma and got caught in a thunder head here. I was alright and safe I was in a gay bar with drag queens. For Reach and Kee ju the show was fun wish you could have come, we should all do coffee again.
21st birthdays seem to be big now so that is what I have been doing.. my pure dear prude friend tony turned 21. not only had he never been to a bar but he had never drank before that night… fun. Its alright I said I would take car of him.
So he said ‘matt, I don’t want to drink a lot’
my reply ‘oh don’t worry, here ill got the bar to serve you only the drinks in tiny glasses’
‘you can do that! Thanks matt’
So after like seven shots he was say that he was feeling dizzy and didn’t want any more tiny glasses, so to make him feel better I got him an ice tea (of the long island variety)
The poor dear. well now my car is smoking, which i am pretty sure is not good. and i am pretty sure i am too broke to fix it. :-(
well I will be back with more stories to tell, good night and good luck.

Black Oscar

ok so i only have a few minutes to post. i have been so busy but my spring break is coming up quick, i am just hoping to make it through mid terms. Brian i am happy to know you are starting to get into the groove of things in D.C. (call me some time non drunk) and Derek glad to know you cry a lot. so this week i got to see Louis Black when he came into Omaha. He presented his material for his new upcoming HBO special and made fun of bush, surprisingly liberal crowd at the funny bone.
well i also was able to catch the end of the Oscars, same old same old. i know many of my friends were rooting for Broke' but i did really want Crash to win. i personally felt it was the more challenging movie and it wasn't an upset it was an underdog. it didnt have as many academy nods as Brokeback, it didnt win best director, the studios planned a mid release (after feeling like it would take any awards) not during the Oscar rush season, it didnt win nearly as many other awards that usually be predictors of the oscars. i am happy that Crash won and i think it deserved it, being the better project. looking at the logistics of the screen play/director style/ presentation and how complicated it is to intertwine 4 main families of characters (as screen plays go) this one got 9 character groups in. that's complicated, the over all message was never blurred and it stayed on focus but was able to bring up ample material and different controversies. Hopefully this Oscar will get people to see the movie and realize what a work of art it truly is. Although i do find Broke' to be a monumental movie and to be a film of the year, but not the only or best. all i know is that i will own both DVDs and be able to watch and enjoy them both numerous times.
