The management would first like to acknowledge the two movies viewed this week with some brief reviews. Wednesday night: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Thank god Chris Columbus stepped down and we've been saved his slick, family-friendly plodding in this third entry. Alfonso Cuarón has made things respectable, and the movie rates a solid B. Thursday night: The Chronicles of Riddick. Ouch. First off, the filmmakers should be sued not just for cribbing other films, but for creating a truly lethal concoction. Vin Diesel + David Lynch's Dune + Mike Hodges's Flash Gordon = shit. The fact that I was totally ripped helped spike the funny meter, but when Vin Diesel actually utters the line, "It's been a long time since I smelled beautiful," you know the end of days is close at hand. Final grade: D.
But the real point of this entry was all the great stuff happening this weekend. First off, tonight's Franz Ferdinand show at Volume promises to be a great time... and a total hipster nightmare. The plan? Drink until we can only communicate through lines from Dr. Dre's The Chronic. Sugar D and LK know what I'm talkin' about. Also (and yes, I know I should keep this one to myself) can't wait for the Salem's Lot miniseries remake to start on Sunday. Tobe Hooper's 1979 miniseries version takes a lot of undeserved heat, but I stand by it as a true David Soul classic. The management will provide a full report on Monday.
