The Wrestler

The Wrestler is finally in Des Moines, opening today at the Fleur Cinema (and the Century... but eff the Century). I was worried that the extended wait to see this film would lead to over-hyping and inevitably disappointment. Fortunately, the movie is incredible and lives up to the much deserved hype.

Looking at the Oscar nominations, The Wrestler was left out of two catagories that given the competition, it should've won out. The first is for Best Original Screenplay, where the nominees are: WallE, Milk, Happy-Go-Lucky, In Bruges, and Frozen River. I chose not to see Frozen River, but did see the rest of those pics. WallE was a one dimensional story... really not much to it other than the spectacular visual effects. Milk is a biopic...which means the story was pretty much already written. Happy-Go-Lucky was a boring piece of shit with a couple cute British ladies and shouldn't have been nominated for anything. Finally, In Bruges was quite clever and a lot of fun; deserving of this nomination, imo. I think Robert Siegel's script should've won this category hands down. The Wrestler is an original story reflecting not just on the hard lives these wrestlers choose, but the effects of living hard until your body breaks down - the effect this lifestyle has on your personal life - being born one person, life changing you, and the choice to try and start over or burn out trying to carry your candle into the sunset. None of the stories nominated (with the possible exception of Frozen River) were so in-depth and personal.

The Academy did nominate Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress, respectively. If either wins, it will be tremendously deserved. The only competition for Rourke is Sean Penn's performance in Milk. Both are incredible. On one hand, Penn's character is currently so much more relevant given recent legislation denying basic civil rights to homosexuals. However, again Milk is a biopic. Penn had a model to follow. Mikey Rourke's character shows so much range. In the promotional material, the phrase "tour de force" isn't an overstatement - Rourke gives a powerful and moving performance. Given Marisa Tomei's competition, she should have her Oscar locked up both because her role is bigger than the others and requiring of her great performance.

The other nomination The Wrestler deserved is Best Picture. The nominees for which are: Milk, Frost/Nixon (which I haven't seen yet), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Slumdog Millionaire, and last and completely undeserving, The Reader. What happens in The Reader? SPOILERS! Kate Winslet spends most of her time naked, either screwing a teenager or having him read to her because she's illiterate. WTF? Just because she can't read, she's going to sleep with a minor? Turns out, she did some Nazi stuff and gets old and learns to read, which finally makes her regret her Nazi-actions? WTF!?! This story is horrible. Given that, on the whole it's not a bad movie... just unremarkable. Nominating it shows that the Academy isn't looking for great movies, just formulas. The Wrestler belongs with Milk and Slumdog Millionaire, being recognized as one of the great movies of 2008. I think The Wrestler will stand alone against any of these films though over time, as one of the best films of the last decade.

BTW, Todd Barry is great as the grocery store boss.

Commentary is Dysentery

That title is a stretch... I'll explain as I don't think that the homophone is obvious here. What that title means to express is that commentary is decent-ary. Now, onto today's post:

I made the venture to West Des Moines yesterday to pick up a DVD at Best Buy. If you know me, releases for Tuesday, January 6th, 2009, or both me and releases for Tuesday, January 6th, 2009, then you could infer that DVD is/was Pineapple Express. Pardon that "is/was." It's deceiptful for me to suggest the DVD "was," as that would entail the movie dieing - at least this is my understanding of the English language. The whole animate versus inanimate argument is lost on me as an Agnostic. BIG WHAMMYS! NO JESUS! Anyyyyyhow {WHY THE Y's!?! [allow me to side-bar here: is there a DJ YY yet? DJ Two Y's. DJ TOO WISE! (It's me now.)]} Anyhow, having watched the movie roughly fifty times over the last couple months (thanks Internets!), one might think I'd be sick of the film... If it were any other movie of 2008, that I had access to watch at any time, and that I had also loved, this may be true. Having very little chance of guessing that, I will only judge you based on your willingness to assume. If you've seen the red band trailer for "The Slammin' Salmon," you've seen and heard Michael Clarke Duncan say "when you assume, you make an asshole out of you'self."

OK, I'll get on with it. The whole point of this entry is that I am a fan of DVD commentaries, specifically on comedy films. Listening to guys like Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, Andy Samberg, etc. chat is like having ultimate-Gawker-ears. I'm stoked to hear these guys who I admire, shoot the shit with their buddies. Sure, they're plenty aware that people like myself will hear their conversation; that doesn't take away from it to me. I enjoy the stories that led to the scenes, the random side-bars, listening to Jason Segel call out his director for not knowing what coverage is... and then hoping they'd explain it 'cuz I had no idea what they were talking about. Now, I know. It gives a guy like me, with my interests, motivation to press on in those interests. These guys' chats don't sound much different than the chats me and my friends have. Perhaps, I could write and shoot sketches and have some success at it? Neato.

This is all not-to-mention, additional special features. Gag reals, ftw.

After watching the disc-one bonus features and the movie with commentary once, I can justify the $25 I spent. I still have a whole second disc of features to watch! Srsly though, $25 is a bit ridiculous considering in three months it'll cost $15... and three months after that? Only $9. Oh welllllll [don't count these l's (no clever DJ name there)]. A couple less Chinese buffets for me. Bummer. There's only a couple other films from 2008 that I'll probably picking up my own DVD copy of. Step-Brothers and Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Oh, and Role Models! Now, to see when the last two of those come out... also, to find the release dates for The Slammin' Salmon and Land of the Lost (Will Ferrell can do whatever he wants here; he has Danny McBride and Jorma Taccone behind him).

i3109 - i1100 = 2009

Before listing my choices for the best films of 2008, I'll write a bit about me and movies. Over the last year, I've begun learning more about movie-making and trying to create my own projects... I've been pretty unproductive this far (something that WILL change in 2009). My interest in movies in the past has been purely based on video as a medium for entertainment... I've never cared what went into the making of a movie, just that the end result would be entertaining in some respect. This is why I've thought and continue to think Citizen Kane is a piece of shit (srsly). What's my favorite movie of all time? It's really hard to say. Although it probably erases any of my credibility on the subject, I might suggest Hot Rod (a movie that I find to be endlessly entertaining). The more I get into making my own videos, the more I start to take into account things like cinematography and the performances on screen versus the overall effect of a movie. This new appreciation certainly has a footprint in this year's list. I'm glad that I work at the Fleur Cinema & Cafe, as it has really opened a door to a lot of films that I would've never watched in the past. As it is, my list this year is comprised mostly of films I watched at work... despite my age and the ridiculousness of me making my primary income from a movie theater, I can't help myself but to be kinda stoked about his facet of my life. Best Billy Employer of 2008: Teh Fleur!

MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF 2008
Action/Comedy: Pineapple Express
(I love movies with Seth Rogen. This one just happens to be hilarious while packing some very respectable action)
Comedy: Role Models
(Absolutely hilarious; nothing made me laugh more all year)
Comic Adaptation: Iron Man
(While The Dark Knight was a great movie, I think Favreau's film was a much more entertaining adaptation of the comic it's based on)
Documentary: Man On Wire
(An amazing story in such a well-done documentary)
Drama: Slumdog Millionaire
(Barely topping Synecdoche, New York and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button; chosen because it's so incredibly well done and lacking at no point in the film)
"Indie" Indie: In Search of a Midnight Kiss
(Probably the best indie film I've seen in recent memory; obviously well written, performed, and shot within my future home, Los Angeles, California)
Music Documentary: Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten
(I'm certainly not the biggest Clash fan, but this is a quality doc. featuring really great archive footage of Mr. Strummer and interesting interviews with his former bandmates)

Worst Movie Ever: Happy-Go-Lucky
(I've honestly never been so miserable in my entire life)

Biggest Surprise: The Promotion
(This would've been my "Indie" Indie pick if not for Midnight Kiss's charm; the performances are as great as the style throughout the film and has me looking forward to Chad Schmidt in 2010)
Most Disappointing: Hellboy II: The Golden Army
(Not only a bastardization of a great comic, but a shitty film relying on the giant plant fight completely)

Best Director: Charlie Kaufman
(Truly brilliant stuff; Synecdoche, New York)
Best Actor: Sean Penn
(A fantastic portrayl in the most socially relevant movie of 2008; Milk)
Best Actress: Anne Hathaway
(Not only incredibly beautiful, but able to portray an incredible range of emotions; Rachel Getting Married)
Best Soundtrack: The Wackness
(1994 featured some GREAT hip-hop)

"Fantastic!" -- Billy Short (DarthAlgar.Blogspot.com)

I was finally able to see Slumdog Millionaire today and it is absolutely great. I originally intended to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, but couldn't wake myself up early enough to get it in before work this morning. Luckily, I do not work until 7:00pm tomorrow evening, so I will be able to watch TCCoB, followed by Doubt tomorrow day. DOUBLE FEATURE, FTW! After this, I probably won't be seeing anything until The Wrestler arrives at the Fleur. Revolutionary Road and The Reader (both starring Kate Winslet... yeck!) aren't registering any interest at this point... both looking incredibly boring. Wednesday will be my "Best Movies" List; possibly some other "Bests" of 2008 and what I'm looking forward to in 2009. Hooray! Goodnight!

Timesnake 2, Geneapagos.

I have to be at work in a half-hour, so no entry today! HOORAY! I have some catching up to do in filmtown... Slumdog Millionaire, Doubt, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button are all at the theater and I haven't seen any of them... Until I do, I can't put up my favorite films of the year. I'm already going to have to post it sans viewing of The Wrestler and JCVD, which aren't going to be in Des Moines until mid-January (the latter maybe not at all). I'm pretty sure JCVD will be the best movie of all time though.

Milk

Gus Van Sant directed Elephant and Paranoid Park. These movies suck (the latter sucks especially hard, using teeth). Gus Van Sant directed Good Will Hunting. That movie is very good. Gus Van Sant's latest directorial effort is Milk. Milk is very good (as a film and at fighting osteoporosis). If Milk had been directed by somebody else, it may have been great.

The only problem that I had with this movie were a couple scenes that seemed to drag (NO PUN INTENDED) and ruin the pace of Harvey Milk's film adaptation. Having no knowledge of Milk's life prior to yesterday (other than that he was the first openly gay person to hold a public office), I was primed to be compelled. Unfortunately, two or three times I became more interested in the theater lighting and sounds from the projector than the film... with a story such as Milk's, this shouldn't have happened. With performances like these actors', this shouldn't have happened. Sean Penn's performance should earn him an Oscar this year (there will be no more relevant leading role so well executed). James Franco could make a case for a best supporting actor nomination; maybe even Emile Hirsh too. The style and tone of the film were great, so a nod to GVS there. His use of '70s video footage throughout the film was very cool. The only flaw is the pacing... something a slightly less artsy fartsy director probably would've remedied (yes, I did say artsy fartsy). Pacing issue included though, the film is very good (a STRONG very good) and I recommend seeing it in theaters. I'm excited to listen to the people coming out of the theater this weekend and hear what they have to say. The film's relevance is much more important than the film itself at this point.

OPINION ON THE MATTER OF GAY MARRIAGE
My stance (as a rational, logical human being) is that marriage is dumb; however, any person should have the right to be dumb with any one other person they wish. I'm pretty sure that when the Founders wrote unalienable freedom so long as it doens't impede another's into the Constitution, they too thought that at the very least government should stay the eff out of this issue. The idea that two people of the same sex committing themselves to one another is somehow a threat to the idea of marriage is preposterous. Denying a gay person the same rights as a straight person is bigotry. Suggesting civil unions in place of marriage is supporting a separate but equal policy no different than was cast out in the African American civil rights movement. Ignorance and/or religion (one-in-the-same) are no excuse for intolerance. State and federal law should not reflect 'moral' or 'values' idealism (especially when conservative). The fact that this is an issue going into 2009 is depressing.

Synechdoche, New York

Synecoche, New York only has a sixty four percent rating on RottenTomatoes.com. This is almost as upsetting as a majority of California voters blatantly being bigots (alliteration, ftw). FACT: People, on the whole, are morons. SUBFACT: You already knew that. I'm not surprised that some of the morons gave this movie a bad review. Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut is wholly awesome and very nearly flawless (the film drags a bit in the resolution - my only complaint). First, the look of the film, his sets and shots, is fantastic (blimp, also ftw). His story, (the script to which I couldn't possibly imagine trying to comprehend) is as brilliant and complex as anything I've subjected myself to. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is the next Tom Hanks (maybe his son will make Orange County 2 with Schuyler Fisk; so cute!). PSH's performance enhances to perfection the drama and incredibly dark, dry comedy throughout the film. IMO, he is the best actor currently in the business (just as Anne Hathaway is the best actress and one hot babe). The movie is incredibly profound, but I'm certain that Kaufman has planted obvious clues into the depths of his message within the film; characters announce premises left and right. Still, I have to see the movie again to see which parts in this synecdoche I may have missed.

Brandy is sitting up in my room... thinking about YOU! BETRAYL!

Without hearing the song in at least ten years (couldn't be shorter than that could it?), Brandy's "Sittin Up In My Room" popped into my head two nights ago. It didn't strike me as at all odd until it happened again last night. Granted, I was and am a huge fan of that song... I hope this isn't going to be a trand as anything after the 80s was a very bad time for pop music. I'm going to be really sad the day LFO's one song pops into my head again.

My iTunes' Shuffle loves fantasy metal. Gnarly.

A link to pass along on this Friday. BLACKCABSESSIONS.com was introduced to me Wednesday evening by my music guru. It features intimate performances in the back seat of a cab, from a lot of great indie bands. Below, is the video from My Morning Jacket's session. I'd also highly suggest looking at Calexico's session.

Following up on last Friday's post, I have seen both Role Models and Rachel Getting Married. I accompanied some fine film folk to Role Models on Friday evening, after dining at Fuddruckers. Fuddruckers, lol. My turkey burger was effing fantastic, btw. The movie surpassed expectations of mild amusement. I was not aware that the film had an R rating and it definitely deserves it (if you believe in the MPAA's rating system). What's not to love about kids using profanity and talking about boobies? Nothing. Everything about it is lovable. Add to that LARP'ing and KISS references and you have a hit on your hands my good man (in this case, David Wain).

Rachel Getting Married also surpassed expectations. IMO, Anne Hathaway is the best actress in movies right now. She's the center-piece of a great and very unique cast in one of the best cinematic dramas I've seen. Films that make you feel emotions (not gag reflexes) are not my forte; I generally steer clear of them. I must say that it is a great experience though, when a movie does tug at the ol' heart strings. Maybe not feeling any particular way specifically, just mostly in reaction to an induced empathy-overload. It happens. It happened to me a couple of times in RGM (and I'm a pretty cold sumbitch). Srsly.

I've got the rest of today off from work. Movies I'll be watching:

Chiengarang!

I screened the movie Happy-Go-Lucky by myself at the Fleur last night. I had a choice between it and Rachel Getting Married, and I made a very poor decision. I had heard that H-G-L was an incredibly optimistic film; that it leaves audiences feeling just as happy as the lead character, Poppy. About fifteen minutes into the film, I realized I had been lied to. I spent an hour and a half waiting for anything to happen (and hoping that anything was the movie ending). It was brutal. Poppy is annoying, but nobody in the film seems to notice that. The only two scenes with any emotional value felt completely out of place due to the monotony of the story surrounding them (a scene involving a hobo, that left me wondering WTF; as well as what I assume was the climax of the movie: the final driving lession). I liked the idea of a light film; especially coming into today and the oppressive weather on the horizon. Unfortunately, this is not a light film. It's two hours of babysitting an adult, who may be retarded. I don't have the qualifications for such a task.

I plan to watch Rachel Getting Married this weekend. After H-G-L though, I'm leary of anything that isn't a silly comedy. I think I'll go see Role Models first... it looks like the type of movie I can't not like. Exhibit A) Paul Rudd. This fella fully won me over in Knocked Up, when referencing Back to the Future at the dinner table with Seth Rogen. However, his roles in Wet Hot American Summer, 40 Year Old Virgin, The Ten, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall have all been just as good. The only potential problem with this film is Exhibit B) Sean William Scott. I've enjoyed two of his roles out of however many he's done. The first being the redneck with a tranquilizer gun in Old School (which anybody could've played) and the second being an excellent performance in a move that I really enjoyed, The Promotion, opposite John C. Reilly. I'm hoping that he'll be more of the latter character in this film versus Stifler. Stifler is too much like a lot of people in real life that I hate for no reason beyond the way they carry themselves. This is why I don't go to Drink! the Original Fun Bar. Dudebros. Fuck dudebros. Maybe I'm just jealous that instead of intelligence, these cocky motherfuckers won out in the gene-pool where it matters (looks, gel-enhanced hair, social skills, and parents' money to buy lots of booze). Exhibit C) McLovin. It'll be interesting to see if McLovin can separate himself from SuperBad with this role and his upcoming caveman in the new Harold Ramis movie. Either he IS McLovin or a pretty decent young actor. Exhibit D) Cameos. There will no doubt be some appearances by people I enjoy seeing in movies. This is always a good thing. The only bad cameos involve Wonda Sykes... I'm looking at you Curb Your Enthusiasm. I dislike Wonda Sykes nearly as much as I dislike Queen Latifah. I'm not racist and/or sexist, I just hate these two women, especially the latter. My proof is that I don't mind Whoopi Goldberg (I used to watch Hollywood Squares everyday after school - Bruce Vilanch, ftw). Remember when Jimmy Fallon made a movie with Queen Latifah? Worst. Idea. Ever. What has Fallon done since? Actually, Fever Pitch was a pretty alright film... and aside from SNL, Mr. Fallon didn't have a great resume before Taxi... I am kinda looking forward to his and Lorne Michaels' take on late night next year; if only because it means Conan replaces Leno; therefore, no more Leno... Who in his or her right mind prefers Leno over Letterman? Fools!

...and I'm out.

Frustrated, Inc.

I hate to think about the bail-out bill anymore, except to wonder how long it's going to take to see obvious examples of how large this particular government blunder is. Thank goodness for the internet because I'm sure those examples aren't going to be shown on television (not even Fox News, lol). At this point, I've lost all faith in television as a source of information. It's merely an entertainment monitor. I think it's more than obvious that our televised political debates aren't staged for informative purposes. Candidates aren't held to the question, their statements aren't fact checked (unless you search online), and at which point a candidate is on TV, he or she isn't saying anything revoltionary anyways. Elections are held for change. With the size of our government, the only way change is plausible is via revolution. Not merely modification, but by a post-definitively swift and forceful taking of change. Things that if a candidate wants to suggest he or she is running for, they might not vote for such a bill as the recent bail-out mockery... Selloutz!

I watched a couple of documentaries over the weekend. The first was Zeitgeist: Addendum, provided free online on Google Video (or see my previous entry). I had not heard of the previous Peter Joseph movie sans Addendum until looking for more information on it's sequel after watching. What I gather is Zeitgeist, Sr. covers is The Fed and Religion. Addendum covers these things in a different ratio, extensively covering our monetary system, debt, and The Fed's control and corruption of world markets and nations throughout history. It's fantastically detailed and presented. After that, it teaches on a growing scale from money to corporations to government to religion to humanity and the Earth (from bottom to top in the grand scheme, but the opposite of the corporate counterpart). While the tone of the movie is powerfully ominous, the movie builds hope in that with the information provided, change can be claimed and perhaps, civilization moved into its next great age. Further information about this Utopian society can be found here: The Venus Project. As I said in my last post, I recommend watching this.

The second Doctor of the past weekend was Religulous. As a self-identified agnostic, this movie played to crowd (preached to the choir invisibile?). I'm all for watching Bill Maher ask people how they can believe some of this junk (or whatever your religion is). It's also great to work at a movie theater showing this film as I can see a lot of people attending it. There's hope! Bill Maher suggests that sixteen percent (16%) of Americans are non-religious. He then points out that this number is greater than (outnumbers) our Jewish population (the one with all the money and the funny jokes). If this is the case, then why in the world does it feel like such a minority? There were two highlights of the film for me. The first was an older fella who works in astronomy and as a reverend. It was nice to see an traditional seeming representative of religion show appeal to reason and rationality. The second highlight would be Maher's rant at the end of the film and how it started small and built to a call to action against religious forces bringing upon us a self-fulfilled Armageddon. It's just pretty kewl beanz that this guy is on television (that there's one of 'em on our side). I would absolutely suggest anybody see this movie and if you're a subscriber to God, Inc. to ask yourself the questions Mr. Maher asks. Fact-check yourself. Submit querie.

I leave you with a bit o' Carl Sagan:
(as seen in Zeitgest: Addendum)
"An extraterrestrial visitor examining the differences among human societies would find those differences trivial compared to the similarities.
Our lives, our past and our future are tied to the sun, the moon and the stars... We humans have seen the atoms which constitute all of nature and the forces that sculpted this work... and we, who embody the local eyes and ears and thoughts and feelings of the cosmos, have begun to wonder about our origins... star stuff contemplating the stars, organized collections of ten billion billion billion atoms, contemplating the evolution of nature, tracing that long path by which it arrived at consciousness here on the planet earth... Our loyalties are to the species and to the planet. Our obligation to survive and flourish is owed not just to ourselves but also to that cosmos ancient and vast from which we spring.
We are one species.
We are star stuff harvesting star light."

Carl Sagan 1934 - 1996

Oh-ho, Dreamweaver! I believe...

I had some pleasantly odd dreams last night... it's moderately exhilarating to hook up with an ex-girlfriend while running from the owner of a hotel you used to work at. It turned out, he just needed me to sign some termination papers... not kill me. It also turned out that although I've been sexually dormant for a few years now, I've gotten much better at the game of getting busy (granted it was my dream... Weird, wild shtuff.

I have not watched or read any part of John McCain's speech from last night. I have no desire to... I don't give a shit about his time at the Hanoi Hilton. I don't care to be mocked by a Republican crowd saying 'Country First.' I'll pigeon-hole the GOP as a bunch of rich, homophobic, red-neck dumbasses... until I meet one to the contrary. I consider myself to be a moderate... there are 'Republican views' that I can get behind. Unfortunately, there isn't a single Republican politician that I could do the same for (with the exception of some of what Ron Paul says). The ideas have been buried beneath so much negativity and corruption. Acceptance of the status quo when 'the status is not... quo.' There's nothing to be excited about with McCain's campaign... just mortified. If Daddy Mac circa 2000 were here, before he was a neo-con-android, I could at least be happy that whoever wins this election, it will be an improvement over GW. I'm on board with the notion John McCain's presidency would just bring 'more of the same.' That's a pretty terrifying idea given the volatile world climate he'd be inheriting. I would really like to see a sound defeat of McCain in this election. One that would perhaps send the GOP back to the drawing board on what they represent and how they should go about doing so... turn them into a bunch of Ron Pauls? At least they'd be adorable.

Time for a shout-out to Mikey C. and AK. These two dudes can be heard in Des Moines, every Thursday night from 8:00 - 10:00pm on KDPS 88.1FM. Last night was their first show. I listened to the last half hour and counted two lols and one giggle. I'm going to be a guest on the show at some point... that'll be neat.

A lot of work for me the next few days... which means a lot of getting paid very little to do very little, which sounds fair. The Fleur is opening War, Inc. and Tell No One. I haven't heard anything about the latter, but the former stars John Cusack, Dan Ackroyd, and Marissa Tomei (did you see Before the Devil Knows You're Dead? You should if only for this sexy lady's nude scenes... not to be a perv... she just looks great naked). It's a political satire, which means it's right up that alley where I may be walking past, thinking "eh, can't be too bad." Of course, hobos live in alleys and sometimes they mug people for liquor-money. So it goes with alleys. Next weekend, the new Coen Bros. movie 'Burn After Reading' opens. Count me as excited. You put George Clooney, Brad Pitt, or John Malkovich in any movie and I will see it. Also coming out next weekend is Righteous Kill, starring Al Pacino and Robert Deniro. Can't be bad right? I have my doubts.

Welp, that does it for this one... have a good weekend!
