I Have No Idea Where This is Going to Go

So I guess I'm the only one who keeps up with the "weekly posting" thing. Whatever. I don't know what I have to say tonight, so bear with me if this post gets... a little... on the crazy side.

First off, I just bought the album "By the Way" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I love this band, but for some reason I never bought this album. Which was pretty retarded of me because it's amazing. Best album I have ever listened to (in my humble (well, not really that humble) opinion).

This next part is for those of you who have seen Fight Club (or read Chuck's book). If you haven't, go out and rent it and I'll see you back here in two hours and twenty minutes. Anyways, for the rest of you because I know there's only like 7 people who haven't seen that movie, and they're all under 17 and their parents won't let them watch violent movies, I have some things to say. First off, amazing right? Right, I'm sorry, it's a given. In fact, I only know of one person who didn't like that movie. And he couldn't give me a logical explanation. Whatever, semantics. Anyway, that movie always bugs me. It amazes me how two guys can take a group of people, and turn them into anarchists, and then become revered as heroes (okay, so it's not really two, but Edward Norton thought that it was, which is all that really matters). However, they're anarchists, but their tactics are very much strategical and they turn these people into machines, not unlike the military. Their followers are disciplined and hard working and follow orders, the complete antithesis of anarchy. That doesn't make sense....? Or just how deep their fellowship became. Cops, politicians, security guards, anyone (who has a y-chromosome) somehow could become associated. And they would die for it. Now, I have to remind myself this movie is fiction, and fiction at its grandest. None of this could happen, and if it could that still wouldn't be the point. The point? I don't even know. But it's one hell of a movie, directed by my personal favorite director, David Fincher. He's good. His first effort was Alien 3, which is the Alien movie everyone hates. I kind of like it because it's the darkest and the gloomiest of the bunch. And it's so much better than the awful fourth one. (In case you do watch it, check out the assembly cut--not perfect, but it's better than the original, and a lot of people like that one so much better). Next, he does Se7en, arguably the greatest serial killer movie of all time. That one sets him on the map, and Brad Pitt stars in it, setting up many future collaborations. Then, he does The Game. Not one of his best efforts, but it's still an awesome movie, and one of the most suspenseful I've ever seen. Then, Fight Club (Brad Pitt again). I've said enough about that. Then, he does Panic Room. Never seen it, and I don't recommend anyone to go see it. The consensus is it sucks. But, hell, even Spielberg has an off movie every once in a while. Then, finally, his most recent, and my most favorite one of all: Zodiac. Once again, serial killer territory, but what's so great about this movie to me is it's Fincher grown up. He uses less of the camera tricks and editing craziness that was prominent in his most famous films before this, and there's very little about the killer himself. Instead, this movie is about three people who's lives become consumed in doing everything they can to find the killer. They all become obsessed, and slowly it tears apart all of their lives. It's brilliant, frankly. And, next up is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, starring Brad Pitt, and the trailer looks amazing. I can't wait.

Alright, enough about that... A list of movies I'm excited for:
The Dark Knight
Hellboy 2
Hancock
Pineapple Express
Tropic Thunder
Righteous Kill
Choke (Chuck again, baby!)
RocknRolla
Zach and Miri Make a Porno
Quantum of Solace
The Spirit

That's all folks. See you next Wednesday.
