Random Bullshit for the Post-Thursday-Night, Pre-Weekend Brain



How do you spell sacrilege? The management proposes this spelling: H-O-L-L-Y-W-O-O-D. Either that, or we should spell it S-A-C-R-I-L-E-G-E. But the basis for all the indignation is... Neil LaBute is set to direct Nicolas Cage in a remake of The Wicker Man. Can you effing believe that? The spooky, hilarious classic starring The Equalizer (but not this Equalizer) and featuring the freaky-deakiest naked pagan dance scene ever (although that sweet heiny is actually a stunt butt for the then-pregnant Britt Ekland) is getting the Gone in 60 Seconds treatment. Granted, if you have to do this horrible thing, the star of Vampire's Kiss and the most dyspeptic, misanthropic director imaginable are a pretty good choice. That's pretty cold comfort, though. Also, on the I-did-not-know-that tip, Iron Maiden apparently has a shredder-rad song called "The Wicker Man." Doood... Maiden is so cool!!!!

Oh, before it gets lost in the shuffle... Thanks to everyone who came out to Low-Life last night. Special thanks to the DEVA crew for stopping by after their gig. We had a blast, although too much liquid fun led to a somewhat bleary-eyed finish. Still, I did get to rock my "Mr. Roboto" 7".

MeeMee sent me this story from Seattle e-zine The Stranger about the greatest corporate-convention entertainment ever. [Scroll down to the "Wednesday, February 23" entry (and be SURE to download the mp3 at the bottom).]

The management has attempted to maintain composure in the face of this Michael Jackson fiasco, but the time has come to speak out. The man is obviously some kind of perverted monster. I had no idea he had given children wine!! That is horriffic!! Even Hitler knew that children shouldn't be given wine... that's why the Nazis invaded France! I hope they lock that clown-faced scarecrow up and throw away the key.

Okay, last thing: Martha Stewart was (semi-)released into the wild today, beginning the "house arrest" phase of her sentence. Is anyone else shocked and disappointed that no one (not Gawker, not the Post, not anyone) has used the following funny and oh-so obvious headline?

"THE BITCH IS BACK! Martha Stewart Released from Prison"

I mean, come on people!
