This weekend I screened these films all in the comfort of home:
Another reason to love the internet
Much better than getting the bootleg on thr street for $5 and better quality too.

Babel
Good movie, think of “Crash” but more international and sparse the way everyone is related somehow. This will get a a Best Picture nod for sure. A few loose ends though:
What was in the note he read at the end?) and, standing naked on the balcony takes her Dad’s hand and embraces him?
Why did her Mom commit suicide? Did she know or suspect incest? Did she shoot herself after Dad and Chieko went on the hunting trip; or during?
Is that why he gave his gun away?
Or maybe the fact that its still making me ask these questions days after I saw it, make it an even better film?

Running with Scissors
Written and Directed by Ryan Murphy, creator of Nip/Tuck. (what more can i say)
If you think you had a rough childhood and a dysfuntional family, watch this film and be happy it didnt happen to YOU.

Expect nominations for Best Picture and Annette Bening for Best Actress.

Casino Royale
No Oscar nominations but one of the best James Bond movies ever made.
Casino Royale gives the audience a glimpse at the man behind the martini.
He hates, loves, and hurts because he is human.
James Bond is not a machine without emotion, he does what he must to get the job done, but that does not mean he enjoys it.

Got this last night, loading it up now and will listen again while running some errands today .
One early review was that this album is too much downtown Manhattan and not enough Bed-Stuy Brooklyn
That may be right but you have Dr. Dre producing 4 tracks so it can’t be all that bad.

After a few mimosas, Vicelounge rocked out an acoustic set.

DJ Junior did his thing both LIVE and on the CD release:

“Here is waht is being said about the release:
His forte…eyeing new music from both emerging and established artists and formatting it, in a way you ain’t heard. Junior introduces it to us long before it becomes a bleep on the larger screen…and later, that force to contend with. Recordbreakin’ yup that’s it.”

A marriage is a relationship between or among individuals, usually recognized by civil authority and/or bound by the religious beliefs of the participants. The fact that marriage often has the dual nature of a binding legal contract plus a moral promise can make it difficult to characterize

husband can be:

* the male spouse in a marriage.
* a kind of pillow.
* husbandry, the breeding of livestock, such as conservation or agriculture.

A wife is a woman who has married a man. “Married” means that the law says they are legally “a man and wife”.

In coutries and times it has been different how many wives can a man have legally. In old times there was no limitations in some countries. In christianity a man can have one wife. In Islam a man can have up to four wives.

There are some names for special kinds of wives. For example, a queen is a wife of a king.

Divorce or dissolution of marriage is the ending of a marriage before the death of either spouse.

A lot can happen in 2 weeks. I got a Tivo after a nearly successful failure of building my own PVR from an old computer , a tv capture card and some open source software.

It feels so good and do other things without being a slave to sit down and watch television at a particular time with all the commercials.

I even was able to catch the new Fantastic 4 cartoon, which at said time of braodcast I was sleeping.

I even have the unit hooked up to the web so if i think of something to record I can tell the tivo to do from my treo before getting on the subway or anywhere where I have access to the internet.

The Vice.Lounge free download “campaign” we started got us over 3,000 myspace friends and even MY myspace page got a little more friendly as well. All when didnt even need Internet marketing San Diego

I even plotted out the playlist for the podcast “Winter/Spring Collection” and this site (Me) got nominated for a Black Web Award the in Category of Best Personal Website by an Individual!

The awards celebrate African, African American and Caribbean excellence online in over 100 categories,and over 2,000 unique nominations from 24 countries.

To paraphrase one of my favorite rappers Murs, that means:
“I’m greater than your grandfathers’s father”

I hope they got the name spelled right by the time you all read this but still vote for me by clicking here:
