there is something particularly decadent about kickin' back in my highback chair, drinking mt dew and coffee while i chew on chocolate chip creme sammich cookies and watch the last two weeks worth of nip/tuck episodes. life does have its moments.

it's a party for the lava lamp!! WOO!!! yea for lava lamps, says i. definitively, might i add. one at work. three in my office at home. one in the bedroom. two in the movie room. and one in the daughter's room. all on timers. 8 hours on, 4 hours off. :) lava lamps rawk. they are relaxation in tangible form. or maybe it just doesn't take much to thrill me. whatever. either one works for me, kiddies.

okay, here's the deal so listen up...... kill bill volume 1 is one of the single greatest films in the history of cinema. period. the second i walked out of the theater last night and lit up, it spontaneously appeared in my 'top 25 desert dvd' collection. of course, as we all know, that's the list of 25 movies you would HAVE to have if you were shipwrecked on a desert island. assuming, of course, that you also have a minimum 55 inch anamorphic widescreen hdtv set with a progressive scan dvd player and a dolby digital 5.1 sound system. a lot to ask for on a desert isle, admittedly, but doable i think. but i digress. so yes, kill bill v1 is a cinematic masterpiece of the highest order. i swear, when i saw pulp fiction for the first time, i was so sad for tarantino because as far as i was concerned, it was all downhill from there. NO way you could top pulp fiction. and he didn't with jackie brown. though some people swear by that movie. good flick, i don't dislike it, just not a fan like dogs and pulp. but holy moley batman! kill bill has got it all - snappy dialogue, INTELLIGENT dialogue, QUENTIN DIALOGUE, unGODly kool cinematography, amazing direction, the soundtrack to measure soundtracks by!, MOOD, a body count to make steven spielberg green with jealousy, and OHHHHH so much more. at it's core, in it's most base form, it's a tale of revenge. a woman done wrong by a group she thought were her friends. they kill her. or think they do. she lies in a coma for four years. and it just gets ugly from there. see it. for god's sake, see it. i gotta go again this weekend. i gotta. okay, it's late, i need at least a little sleep. and i think i'll work on finally putting that top 25 in concrete form so i can post and rant about it :)

now here's a conundrum. one of those answers to a question that you never REALLY wanted there to be an answer to: http://www.msnbc.com/news/974929.asp .

i guess phrased as a movie quote, it would look something like:

"i don't know what's scarier.... the fact that we know now why the cookie crumbles or the fact that i've wondered why the cookie crumbles for decades." (and of course, all honor to the movie from whence that one-liner came.... if you know it, kudos to you. if you don't, that's sad. really sad. cuz it's a classic flick AND a classic one-liner, dammit.)

oh... and WOOHOO!! HALLOWEENIE IS HERE!!!! ALL MONTH LONG!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!

unfortunately, that means christmas is breathing down my neck. shit.
