Headbutts, Vampires, Magic, and a lack of football
so the World Cup ended last Sunday, and i was obsessed with it while it was going on, but, just as with most sporting events, my interest quickly fades as something else catches my eye. i watched the final of course, which will most be remembered for Zidane's headbutt. it's an unfortunate ending to a great career, but i've already lost interest while writing this sentence...
so i'm watching From Dusk til Dawn right now, and i've come to realize that it is an amazingly guilty pleasure that is a helluva lot of fun to watch. and i must admit, i find the 2/3 of the movie that doesn't deal with vampires to better than the third that does. george clooney is a badass. so's harvey keitel. tarantino isn't much of an actor, but he does play a damn good crazy guy. he can still write though, and seeing it again makes me even more excited about Grind House. read an interview Entertainment Weekly had with them (Robert Rodriguez and Tarantino) here.
wow, i just found out that Volver, Almodovar's new film, won't be coming out for a while, with the NY and LA openings November 3, meaning that where I am, the relatively podunk Cleveland, I will be lucky to see it by Thanksgiving.
also, the trailer for The Prestige, Christopher Nolan's new movie with Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman (and yes it's about magic, but you can't tell me it looks dorky), is now online. check it out
i hope the final countdown and will arnett make appearances in this one....
is it football season yet?....sportscenter sucks this time of year
