…in which I talk about a recent dream and the advice I’d like to pass on to my son.
So, a couple of days ago, just after waking up from a dream, I rushed to the computer and wrote down as much as I could so as to remember it as vividly as possible. I did this because it ended in a message that I want to pass on to Ansel when he’s old enough to understand.
so I says to Heather, “what do you want to watch this week?” and she says,
“I dunno, a raucous comedy?” so I says, “have we watched Ready to Rumble, as
a movie night yet?” and she says, “I dunno, maybe?”
Anyway, I’m pretty sure we haven’t. So this week, we’ll be watching Ready to
Rumble for movie night. We’ll start the movie at exactly 7:43pm, give or
take. So get your foam fingers and John 3:16 placards, and we’ll see you
there.
Oh, and for all you parent types with impressionable kids, here’s the
lowdown: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0217756/parentalguide
…in which I talk about why I would spend a week in a treehouse, rather than a tent or an underground bunker.
There is something fantastical and magical about treehouses. While a tent still gets you out in the wilderness, and has the advantage of being portable, a treehouse is a symbol of childlike wonder. A treehouse is a iconic image of carefree childhood, of a time where you needn’t follow social rules. Your house could be anywhere and your imagination turned it into anything. Your treehouse was your bastion in the sky from everything that hunted and haunted you.
Tomorrow we’re watching Fido at 7.57pm.
Synopsis: Timmy Robinson’s best friend in the whole wide world is a six-foot
tall rotting zombie named Fido. But when FIDO eats the next-door neighbor,
Mom and Dad hit the roof, and Timmy has to go to the ends of the earth to
keep Fido a part of the family.

Sorry for the super late announcement.
Last week, a few of us had the opportunity to watch Everything is
Illuminated and I became vaguely obsessed with Gogol Bordello and lead
singer Eugene Hutz. After looking up Eugene on Wikipedia, I learned that
another movie on my Netflix queue not only featured the music of Gogol
Bordello, but one of the characters is loosely based on Eugene. On top of
all this, the movie is about an afterlife way station that has been reserved
for people who have committed suicide, and the people who inhabit it.
So this week, we will be watching *Wristcutters: A Love Story*, starting at
8:32pm.
And for all of you who bring kiddos, here’s the parental giude:

…in which I talk about nothing but strangling myself with my own Twitter account.
Okay. The other day I laughed at Chase for having so many WordPress/Twitter problems. Today, he can do all the laughing he wants.
…in which I talk about gut wrenching guilt.
I screwed up. If you are reading this in an RSS feeder and don’t want to see what was supposed to be a hidden, obscured, and off-linked spoiler to Tranformers 2, then do yourself a favor and go directly to my site for a screened and spoiler safer version and just mark all my other posts as read and move on.
…in which I talk about our advance screening of Transformers 2, and pretty much nothing else.
Last night we had the opportunity, thanks to Chase at Gordon and the Whale, to see Transformers 2 in an advance screening. It wasn’t too much in advance since people will be able to see it tonight at midnight, but we got to go for free, and got to see it at a reasonable hour, so it was still a great deal. Thanks again, Chase, for hooking me up!
This Friday, we’re watching Transformers (2007) in preparation for the
sequel release next week. We’ll start at 8:06pm.
and as is the new tradition, here’s the parents guide :

Yes, we’re having a movie night. What are we watching? We don’t know!!! We
haven’t really had a lot of time to think about it and simply forgot to
pick. I’ve got a Simon Pegg movie shipping from Netflix that might make it
here on time, or I’ve got an nearly infinite number of movies on Netflix
Streaming, plus we have a decently large library. I’m sure, come 8:30 on
Friday, we can figure something out. So if you’re in the mood to hang out
and maybe watch a movie of random chance selection, come on by!
