Kingdom Hearts

I started playing Kingdom Hearts early last year and finished around November. Again, bad habits. You play Sora, a young boy on a mission to find his friends and defeat Heartless along the way. Donald Duck and Goofy are your sidekicks, they are looking for King Mickey. Yes, Mickey Mouse. Throughout the game, you will open worlds and meet people that will help you in your mission. There are 13 playable worlds, eight of which are from Disney. You can change party members, depending on the world. Tarzan is only available in the Deep Jungle, Aladdin in Agrabah, Peter Pan in Neverland, etc. There are several NPCs from Final Fantasy like Leon, Aerith, and Cloud. Sephiroth is an optional Boss fight in the Coliseum.

I put in 60+ hours of gameplay and managed to complete Ansem’s report, find all the torn pages, unlock all Trinity abilities, and complete the Hercules and Hades Cup. However, I was three Dalmatians short. Bah. The hardest Boss fights were the Phantom in Neverland (I fucking hate aerial battles) and Kurt Zisa in Agrabah. I spent days on that sonofabitch. It got easier when I realized I can summon Tinkerbell. DUH. Ursula was very annoying because you have to beat her TWICE. Don’t you just it when that happens? By the time I got to the Final Boss (World of Chaos), I was at Level 88 with the Oblivion Keyblade. It was more tedious than it was hard. Fucking red tape, I tells ya. How do I remember all of this? I have photographic memory. And notes. What?

As soon as I finished Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, I started with 358/2 Days. (That’s 3-5-8 Days over 2. I don’t know why, ask the Japanese). It’s the fifth installment of the series and takes place after Chain of Memories and before Kingdom Hearts II. This time, it’s about Roxas, Sora’s Nobody. Each day, you go out on missions (alone or with someone else) given to you by Xemnas, the leader of Organization XIII. Saix will give you the list of missions. At the end of the day, you join Axel and Xion for sea-salted ice cream on the clock tower of Twilight Town. There are 92 missions in all, some of which are relatively easy like collecting hearts and gathering information.

The gameplay is similar to that of the first game, action-RPG. The Moogle Shop is present, you can purchase and synthesize items from there. The only major change is the Panel System where you equip all your weapons, level up units, abilities, Magic, and items. It’s a bit of a hassle setting up the panels (reminds me of Tetris) and kinda annoying how the level up units takes so much space.

The most frustrating Boss fight has got to be the one with Ruler of the Sky. It’s also the longest. Seriously, my hands would go numb from time to time chasing the motherfucker while dodging ice pillars and shit. Like I said, I fucking hate aerial battles. It took me about a hundred deaths to kill it. Well, no, not really. That sonofabitch has eight life bars. EIGHT. There was one time that I got him down to two bars when the DS decided to fuck with me and freeze. It was 6AM and I’ve been playing for hours. I wanted to cry. I went to sleep instead.

It took me less than two weeks to finish the game. Level 55 at about 35 hours. I haven’t really explored it much as I was hell bent on finishing the story. I suppose I could try Mission mode and collect emblems and stuff. Or maybe I can unlock Sora. Oh, and there’s something I don’t get. Why is Mickey wearing the Organization’s robe? Weird. Right now, I’m playing Kingdom Hearts II. YAY!

What do you mean I need a life? Shut the fuck up.

So much for Part III

I’m really sleepy right now and I can’t be bothered to put together a neat list of other vampire flicks. I’ll just prattle on and see where it leads us.

We recently got the fancy special edition DVD of Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and proceeded to marathon the shit out of the franchise. It doesn’t have the best storyline but I like the whole Vampires VS Lycans mythos. And the special effects? MIND BLOWING. Have you seen those werewolves? Those are fucking men in fucking rubber suits! And stilts! Also, I want to marry Bill Nighy just to be able to say “I am fucking married to Bill Nighy. Who are YOU married to? Not Bill Nighy, obviously. Because he’s married to ME. What do you mean you’re also married to him? I’ll skin you alive, bitch.” or something a little less mouthful. Do you know how many stages of make-up he had to go through in the first movie? Three. And it’s all practical effects. And he’s an old man. And these fucking vampires in Twilight are supposed to be scary because they’re SHINY? Oh, I’m sorry. SPARKLING. Psh. I know, I know. A lot has been said about it already. It’s just so fucking terrible, it’s pissing me off. Anyway, did you know that Kate Beckinsale is married to the director of the first two? Just like the love of my life, Milla Jovovich is married to Paul W.S. Anderson. I know, right? Damnit.

I also like the Blade series, Part 2 is my favorite. Guillermo del Toro is yet to break my heart. Nevermind that Luke Goss played the same stubborn son in Hellboy: The Golden Army. Let the Right One In is also a must-see. You know what else is a must-see? Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. I’m telling you, you cannot go on living without seeing that movie. I mean, shit. How can you not want to watch something with a line that goes “We’re running short on skin. We’ll need to harvest more lesbians.” or “Where have all our lesbians gone?” Oh, hells yes. Okay, what else? There’s also Nosferatu, if you want to go old school. There’s a lot more but I’m lazy. Besides, I’m sure you’ll do fine without my recommendations.

I am so fucking sleepy. And my thumbs hurt from getting my ass handed to me on Capcom VS SNK last night. Chad’s teaching me the combos and goddamnit, I suck at fighting games. How he can play Street Fighter for hours on end, I will never know. He also showed me Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and let me play for a bit. The light saber fights are FREAKING AWESOME. I shall play that baby when I finish Kingdom Hearts 2. First, I need to get my copy up and running. I finished 358/2 a few weeks back, clocked in about 35 hours. I’ll write about that soon because I’m a show-off.

Speaking of Star Wars, I got Chad a couple of toys:

Star Wars Unleashed Clone Trooper

Asajj Ventress

PhP500 for both on eBay. The Asajj figure is loose, she doesn’t have the light sabers. Still, not bad for Hasbro figures. So there you have it. From vampires to Streetfighter to Star Wars.

Pukinangina. Inaantok talaga ako. Shet.

Awesome Vampire Flicks (Part II)

Interview with the Vampire
directed by Neil Jordan

I admit it. Everything I used to know about vampires, I got from Anne Rice. I know better now, thank you. In time, I’ve learned that not all vampires are cultured and erotic and gay. Lately, I’m having a hard time reading her stuff. The way she describes a character bores the shit out of me. I get it, he looks like an angel, you don’t need three pages for that. Or maybe it’s just my attention span. ANYWAY.

200-year old vampire Louis (Brad Pitt) tells a reporter named Daniel (Christian Slater) the story of his life. He tells him about his maker Lestat (Tom Cruise), how he refused to feed on humans, his “daughter” Claudia (Kristen Dunst), how he met Armand (Antonio Banderas) and his coven. In the novels, the drinking of blood is something sensual, as though it’s how vampires have sex, and that is captured in the movie. Brad Pitt makes a charming Louis. I’m not sure about Tom Cruise, though. I think Stuart Townsend makes a more convincing Lestat.

Trivia: Stan Winston did the vampire make-up and effects. <3

Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)
directed by Francis Ford Coppola

Vlad the Impaler (Gary Oldman) returns from the war to find that his beloved wife (Winona Ryder) had killed herself upon hearing he was dead. Pissed at God, he turns to Satan and becomes a vampire. Fast forward to the Victorian era, a young attorney named Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) was sent to Transylvania to arrange some real estate transactions with Vlad Dracul. Dracul saw a photo of Jonathan’s fiancee and believed that she’s the reincarnation of his dead wife. With the help of Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins), they try to stop Dracula from taking Mina as his bride.

Trivia: Monica Bellucci plays a vampire. She gets naked. Cary Elwes is one of Lucy’s (Sadie Frost) suitors. Keanu Reeves’ accent is especially confusing in this movie.

Near Dark (1987)
directed by Kathryn Bigelow

On a night in town, Caleb (Adrian Pasdar) meets Mae (Jenny Wright). While making out, she nips him on the neck and runs off. Caleb goes home dazed, confused, and smoking. It’s morning, the sun is out. Mae managed to get to him in time with the help of her “family”. Jesse (Lance Henriksen), Severen (Bill Paxton), Diamondback (Jenette Goldstein), and Homer (Joshua John Miller) are not happy about it. If he doesn’t kill soon, they will have him for dinner.

Trivia: The screenplay was written by Eric Red, who also wrote The Hitcher (1986). Henriksen, Paxton, and Goldstein have worked together in Aliens, which came out the previous year.

From Dusk ’till Dawn (1996)
directed by Robert Rodriguez

The Gecko brothers Seth (George Clooney) and Richie (Quentin Tarantino) are on the run from a bloody bank robbery. Their plan is to flee to Mexico where the cops can’t touch them. They take Jacob (Harvey Keitel) and his children hostage and force them to drive them all the way to Mexico. They are to meet Carlo (Cheech Marin) in the best-named bar in the history of ever, The Titty Twister. Unfortunately for them, the bar is home to blood-sucking freaks.

This is my favorite Rodriguez film. The script is brilliant and the cast alone is reason enough to watch it. Harvey Keitel, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette Lewis, Salma Hayek (Holy Mama, that dancing!), Cheech Marin, Danny Trejo, Tom Savini (SEX MACHINE!), and fine, George Clooney.

Trivia: Cheech Marin has three roles in the movie: a border guard, Carlos, and Chet Pussy.

The Lost Boys (1987)
directed by Joel Schumacher

Newly divorced mom (Dianne West) moves to Santa Carla with her sons Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim). Michael falls in love with Star (Jamie Gertz) who’s running around with a bunch of vampire misfits led by David (Kiefer Sutherland). Michael becomes one of them and it’s up to Sam and the Frog brothers, Edgar (Corey Feldman) and Alan (Jason Newlander) to save him. Kiefer Sutherland makes a very sexy vampire. Jack Bauer’s got no shit on David!

I don’t know about you, but that right there is a good reason to see Lost Boys.

Trivia: If you pay attention, you’ll see that Sam has a poster of Rob Lowe in his closet. The title is a reference to the lost boys in J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan. DUH.

Part 1 here. Maybe Part 3 tomorrow. I dunno how many parts there are going to be. We’ll see.

Awesome Vampire Flicks (Part I)

All this hype about Twilight/New Moon made me want to watch old vampire flicks. You know, where vampires kill people for blood. I’ve seen Twilight, by the way and IT. IS. HORRIBLE. That’s two hours of my life I will never get back. God, that movie is so awful, I want to take a bath whenever someone mentions it. UGH. So anyway, since I’ve been watching/re-watching a lot of vampire movies, might as well make a list of the ones I like. Note that some of these aren’t particularly exceptional (like, say, Bordello of Blood) but they’re fun and entertaining, nevertheless. In no particular order, just because.

Martin (1977)
directed by George A. Romero

Yes, Romero makes movies that are not about zombies. Whodathunk? Martin (John Amplas) came to Pittsburgh to live with his uncle who is convinced that he’s a vampire. Something about a family curse and Nosferatu. He tells Martin that he will save his soul and destroy him afterwards. There is nothing romantic about Romero’s vampire. He claims to be 84 years old but he is not affected by sunlight, or garlic, or crucifixes. Maybe he’s just human with a thirst for blood.

Trivia: A young Tom Savini plays boyfriend to Christina, Martin’s cousin. (Sex Machine is cheating on her!) Romero has a cameo role as a priest.

Cronos (1993)
directed by Guillermo del Toro

A 16th century alchemist invented a mechanical device that holds the key to eternal life. 400 years later, in 1937, a building collapsed and among the victims was the alchemist. His heart was mortally pierced. After a police investigation, all of his belongings were auctioned off. In the present day, an old antique store owner (Frederico Luppi) came across the strange device hidden in one of the statues. Meanwhile, a dying man is looking for the device and would kill for it if he has to. Ron Perlman stars as the sick man’s nephew and henchman.

Trivia: Luppi was in The Devil’s Backbone and Pan’s Labyrinth while Perlman was in Blade II and Hellboy, all of which were helmed by del Toro.

Bordello of Blood (1996)
directed by Gilbert Adler

Katherine (Erika Eleniak) hires Rafe (Dennis Miller) to find his missing brother, Caleb (Corey Feldman). Rafe discovers a brothel filled with vampires (and tits). What happens next is one big bloody mess that you definitely want to see. After all, how can you not want to see something with a title like that? A whorehouse! With vampires! Naked, bloody chicks! ZOMG!

Trivia: This follows Demon Knight, another Tale from the Crypt. It’s not a direct sequel but the key from Demon Knight appears in the beginning of the movie.

The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967)
directed by Roman Polanski

The kooky Professor Abronsius (Jack MacGowran) and his assistant Alfred (Polanski) travel to Transylvania to hunt for vampires. At a local inn, they meet Sarah (Sharon Tate), daughter of the inn-keeper. Albert has fallen in love with her so when Count von Krolock (Ferdy Mayne) kidnapped her, they had to go after them. They track down the Count to his creepy castle just outside the village.

Trivia: This was Polanski’s first feature in color.

Fright Night (1985)
directed by Tom Holland

First of all, let me just say that Fright Night is THE BEST VAMPIRE MOVIE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER. Well, maybe the best I’ve seen so far and I still have a lot to see. Like, a SHITLOAD. Second of all, there is no second of all. I just wanted to say “first of all”.

Horror fan Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) believes that his new neighbor Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon) is a vampire. He enlists the help of Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall), the local late-night host of Fright Night. Together, they fight Jerry and try to save Charley’s girlfriend Amy, before she becomes a creature of the night.

Check out those fangs!

Trivia: Chris Sarandon was the priest in Bordello of Blood. He was also the prince in Princess Bride. And Jack’s voice in The Nightmare Before Christmas. HE’S THE SHIZNIT.

Part 2 of the list tomorrow. If I don’t get lazy. Or distracted by food.

Pseudo-Review: The Strangers

The Strangers (2008)
starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman
written and directed by Bryan Bertino

James and Kristen (Speedman and Tyler) drive back from a friend’s wedding to James’s family’s summer home. There seems to be trouble in paradise, neither of them is talking. It is later revealed that James proposed and Kristen rejected him. While “sorting things out”, they hear a knock on the door. A strange woman asks if [insert name here] is home and they tell her she’s got the wrong house. “Are you sure?” she asks. Well, hrmn, let’s see, yeah. She leaves after they assure her that she’s mistaken. James tells Kristen that he needs to clear his head and drive around for a bit. The strange woman comes back and asks the same question. Uh-oh, bitch is crazy.

It starts off really good, sets you up, gets you all tense and shit. Especially the parts with Kristen alone in the house. I might have shrieked a little when the masked man appeared from the shadows behind her. If the goal is to give me a slight heart attack, then the first half’s got that covered. The second half covers the ARE-YOU-SHITTING-ME part.

Clichés a-plenty in this movie. Useless cellphones? Check. Useless cars? Check. A record player blaring and suddenly starts skipping? Check. People separating? Creepy barn? People running unarmed when there’s a shitload of potential weapons lying around? Check, check, and check. People in horror movies do stupid shit ALL THE TIME. That’s how they get hacked.

I had a little trouble accepting the villains’ motive – they had none. But as Chad explained to me, it doesn’t matter. Why does Jason kill everyone who wanders into Camp Crystal Lake? Why do Leatherface and his family (Sawyers in the original, Hewitts in the remake) murder people? Perhaps I could argue that Jason and Leatherface have a story. I could say that I know these characters. I do not know shit about the strangers. But then I realized that the movie, while named after them, is not about them. Motive or no motive, it doesn’t make a difference. In the end, it accomplished what it set out to do – scare me. Fair enough.

The thought of a stranger breaking into your house is truly a terrifying one. If you can’t be safe in your own home, then, shit, where can you be safe? Sometimes, I get paranoid when I hear feet shuffling upstairs (it’s usually the neighbors, we share a wall), or when I see shadows, or when floors creak and doors slam because of the wind. Sometimes, I just watch too many goddamned horror movies.

DS: Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

I started playing Dark Brotherhood last April and I only got to finish it last week. I have a bad habit of abandoning games when I find something new. Up until now, I still haven’t finished the final Boss fight on Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. It’s been almost two years since I played it. I need closure on that game, I know. Anyway, I was at Chapter 10 when I got stuck in one of the worlds. I was at Level 15 or so, I figured I still have a long way to go. Apparently, I was already at the last chapter and just a few battles away from Ix, the final Boss. Last week, I picked up where I left off, made progress, and finished it at Level 18. Huh, that was a little anticlimactic.

Here be my final stats:

Level 18
HP: 348
PP: 16
Speed: 46
Attack: 52
Defense: 45
Luck: 25

Equipment
Speedy Sneakers
Golden Gloves (slightly increases damage)
Angel Amulet (inexhaustible power to put the fallen back on their feet)
Spartoi (Chao – basic attacks may cause instant KO against enemies)

Movement Abilities
Dash (Level 3)

POW Moves
Axe Kick I
Whirlwind II
Blue Bomber II
Fastball II
Triple Tornado II
Hail Storm II

Fuck, yeah.

I rarely used Sonic’s POW moves because his attacks usually get the job done. However, you might want to take advantage of Shadow’s, Knuckles’, Shade’s, and Big’s. Theirs are quite nifty (particularly Big’s Battering Ram, I always get a kick out of that) so try and have the best POW moves at III. Also, make sure everyone is equipped with a Chao – they’re very handy in battles especially the common ones. Enemies take a lot more damage when you’re equipped with the right Chao. Lastly, do not be stingy with Health Roots and POW Drinks. It makes no sense to accumulate so much and not use them.

There’s only one thing I do not like about the game and it’s the fact that you can only use the stylus. It makes the execution of POW moves and hurdling obstacles during a chase (Flee) very frustrating. I wish the developers would give us the option of using the D-pad instead. But other than that, it’s a fun game. I love how cartoon-y it looks, how there’s a map, how it gives you the freedom of saving whenever and wherever you goddamned please.

I’m outta here!

Kung fu this, bitch!

Let’s face it, horror film remakes are going to keep happening. Platinum Dunes is making sure of that, don’t you know? Why? Because they can. Whether or not it is sacrilege or blasphemy or even necessary is not the point anymore. Sooner or later, your favorite flick is going to get a remake/reboot/re-imagining/retardening. Hell, David Cronenberg is remaking his own remake. Presenting, David Cronenberg’s David Cronenberg’s The Fly! Egh? How weird is that?

I’m sure everyone knows that a Nightmare on Elm Street remake is in the works. (If not, then now you know. Good for you.) Yes, they’re bringing back the bastard son of 100 maniacs – Freddy Krueger. Sadly, Robert Englund isn’t reprising the role. That job is Jackie Earl Haley’s now and boy, has he got huge shoes to fill. I’m a fan, obviously. Hello, we don’t own the special edition collection just because it looks badass.

Well, fuck me sideways. It looks impressive that I actually want to see it. But then, I’m easily impressed. I felt the same way when I saw the trailer for Friday the 13th. If there’s anything I’ve learned from Platinum Dunes trailers, they’re nothing but a big ball of lie. A shiny one-minute-and-30-second lie. But yeah, we’ll see.

So, Haley as the new Freddy. I bet a handful die-hard fans of the franchise are pretty pissed about Robert Englund not playing the part. While I agree that nobody can ever replace Englund, we have to accept that he’s too old to return to our nightmares. Hey, he said it himself. You can’t really blame the guy, he’s pushing 60 for fuck’s sake. I understand the disappointment but I don’t see why we can’t just be grateful that he gave us eight fucking movies as Freddy. If we can’t have the best, the second best would have to do. Haley is the way to go, dude’s fucking creepy as hell.

I remember this rumor about Billy Bob Thornton playing Freddy and I was all, are you fucking kidding me? Now THAT is blasphemy. A certain Rooney Mara is playing Nancy and I read that Thomas Dekker is also included in the cast.

Wesley Strick (Doom, The Glass House) wrote the screenplay and Samuel Bayer is directing. He’s a musical video director and this is his first full-length feature film so let’s all cross our fingers. I feel dirty for saying this but if you’re interested, head over to Brad Fuller’s blog for updates on the movie.

One two, Freddy’s coming for you
Three four, better lock your doors
Five six, grab your crucifix
Seven eight, gonna stay up late
Nine ten, never sleep again

…

In June 1991, Mt. Pinatubo erupted. It was reported to be the second largest volcanic eruption of the 20th Century, the first being the 1912 eruption of Katmai-Novarupta in Alaska. I was 10 years old at the time and we were living in Angeles City. What began as a series of earthquakes led to complete darkness by afternoon and heavy rains mixed with mud and stones. As if things couldn’t get any worse, there was a tropical storm which caused an ashfall.

A large part of our ancestral home gave out, the roof went crashing down. We had to evacuate, my Mom and aunt were both eight months pregnant. If we stayed, there was a good chance we’d be buried alive. We heard that a major bridge collapsed and people fell into the raging current of water and mud. Out in the street, everyone and everything was covered in ash. People were walking towards higher ground. I was only 10 and in my young mind, it felt like doomsday. In the wake of it all, thousands lost their homes and the death toll was at a staggering 800+.

Over the weekend, a typhoon hit our country and flooded the streets with a month’s worth of rain in only six hours. This is the worst flooding we’ve had in over forty years. I was not even aware of what’s happening until Saturday afternoon when I turned the TV on, and what I saw was heartbreaking. Hundreds were stranded on their rooftops, hoping and waiting to be rescued. I was warm and dry in our living room, but I felt like I was 10 years old all over again.

I am not a patriotic person and several times, I have expressed how much this country sucks. But during times like these, I can’t help but weep for my countrymen. =(

Comic Book: Hack/Slash

Meet Cassie Hack, the lone survivor of an attack by a slasher called The Lunch Lady, a slasher who happens to be her mother! Now she travels the world with her monstrous partner Vlad, hunting down and destroying slashers wherever they find them!

Every slasher flick has a final girl. We have Alice (Friday the 13th), Nancy, (A Nightmare on Elm Street), and Laurie (Halloween) to name a few. Hack/Slash has Cassie.

Cassandra Hack grew up with her eccentric mother who worked as a lunch lady in her high school. An ugly duckling as a child, she was often bullied. Mrs. Hack, wanting to protect her daughter, found a way to make the bullies go away: by serving them up. Cassie found out and had to do the right thing. She called the cops and when they came to arrest her, she dunked her head in a pot of boiling water. She came back as an undead slasher and that’s where our heroine’s slasher-hunting adventures began.

Vlad helps Cassie get the job done. He may look terrifying but he’s actually very gentle and cares about Cassie a lot. Very little is known about him, all we know is that a butcher raised him after finding him in a garbage can as a baby. The kind man taught him how to speak and read from comic books. He also helped him overcome his deformities by teaching him how to use knives.

Tim Seeley is the creator of this little gem which made its debut in 2004 thru Devil’s Due Publishing. Presently, there are 12 issues for the one-shots and 24 for the ongoing series. There are pretty interesting crossovers, like the ones with Chucky (Child’s Play) and Re-Animator. How awesome would it be if Jason or Freddy or Michael made an appearance? Yeah, pretty fucking awesome. You know what else is awesome?

THIS:

Every horror fan’s wet dream: A hot final girl who kicks ass and is a lesbian.
Well, mine at least.

Talks about a movie have been going around for the longest time and goddamnit, that couldn’t happen any sooner. Especially when Megan Fox is reportedly “very interested” in playing Cassie. God, I get giddy at the mere thought.

Jesus. This woman is giving me blue balls. And I don’t even have balls.

ANYWAY. What the fuck are you still waiting for? Go and get your face creamed with some Hack/Slash goodness.

Pseudo-Review: Antichrist

Antichrist (2009)
starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg
written and directed by Lars von Trier

I tried to write a decent “review” of Antichrist and all I got is a nasty headache. You know what, fuck it. I’m probably going to sound like an ignorant twat trying to talk about it. So, here: The couple’s son died, she fell into depression, he tried to cure her (he’s a therapist) by bringing her to a cabin in the woods, and she goes apeshit. A few weird shit here and there (what’s up with that fox?), a couple of cringe-inducing scenes, and that’s basically it.

Antichrist has made the rounds on many horror sites and naturally, I was expecting a horror movie. With a title like that, how can it not be? Well, it’s not. It’s an art film and I’m too insipid to understand art films. Don’t talk to me about Kubrick or Kurosawa, I wouldn’t know shit. (I like Dreams, though. Plenty of weird shit – the kind I like.)

Yep. That’s it. I wish I can say more but that’s just about everything my uncultured brain can spew. Lauren wrote something much more sensible. Anyway, see it for yourself. Mogwai will be screening it until tomorrow. It’s free, so head over there if you have the time. Who knows, maybe it will shake you to your core. (Or have you leave the place scratching your head.)
