80's boy


the song, "boy", by book of love, makes me want to be in the 80's again, standing out in the "sidewalk sale" at the sweaty finish of a club night.

(sidewalk sale = that 10 or 20 minutes after the club closes its doors, and you're delaying the walk back to your car, hoping that one of these guys is also delaying the walk back to his car because you're still here.)





(and about being in the 80's: only momentarily. not relive them again.)

captain america


marvel's blockbuster lackluster summer continues. captain america, starring the ever beautiful chris evans, has an interesting origin story which can be told in less than two sentences*, but carries on far too long. his introductory feats of superheroism, running through 1940's brooklyn NY, wasn't very inspiring, and was soon followed by what looked like a series of great action scenes, mushed into a 2 minute montage. so, long and overexplainy backstory; then action that flashes before one's eyes in two minutes or less.

the hydra technology was the same kmart blue feathery laser stuff we see in every action movie featuring radioactive stuff that causes people to morph. (you are already accurately imagining it in your mind...yeah, that effect again.)

fortunately, hugo weaving ripped off his human skin mask, and gave the movie something to watch. oh wait, during the origin section, stanley tucci...he was worth watching, too. oh, and dominic cooper...so watchable, from start to finish (looking forward to seeing him in the devil's double.

by the end, i walked away thinking, it was something less than interesting. but not boring.

waiting for CAPTAIN AMERICA
