NOW THAT YOU’VE WON A TITLE, DO YOU STILL HAVE ANY PERSONAL GOALS IN THE NBA?
I would love to get back to first-team All-Defense. I own defense. It’s like my corporation. I’m the CEO and everyone else is just an employee. The fans and players know I belong. When you need a stop, who you going to call? Not the goddamn Ghostbusters, I’ll tell you that. You call me.WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON KOBE?
I thought you’d never ask. We’ll be on the plane, playing cards. Kobe will walk up, stop the game and say, “Ron, come to the back of the plane.” Then, he’ll show me some tape and say, “Look at this. Here’s what you need to do.” I’ll go back to my seat, and then he’ll walk up to Shannon Brown, stop the card game and do the same thing. And it doesn’t matter if you’re sleeping. He’ll wake you up and show you things you’ve never thought about. He puts so much time and passion into the game. I have no problem following somebody who’s worth being followed, who works as hard as me. I will follow Kobe anywhere.
Four Rooms (1995)
Directors:
Allison Anders (“The Missing Ingredient”), Alexandre Rockwell (“The Wrong Man”), Robert Rodriguez (“The Misbehavers”), Quentin Tarantino (“The Man from Hollywood”)
Saw this last night. The film follows Tim Roth (who plays a bellhop) as he ventures through four different rooms in a hotel. What goes on in each room is written and directed by a different filmmaker (from the names above). Rodriguez’s short takes the cake. Tim Roth plays the part perfectly. Definitely check this film out if you can get your hands on it.
Oh, and that’s Bruce Willis hitting a joint in the back.
MGMT - Congratulations (dir. Tom Kuntz)
The antville comments sum up my thoughts nicely:
Feel like something else was supposed to happen in this video but didn’t. Wanted it to be more interesting. Feel like I’m supposed to like this because it’s MGMT/Kuntz/offbeat, but disappointed that the final product is just a lot of walking in a desert with a puppet.
And…
Theme of the month: Sick, dying, deformed animals and the hipster bands that love them.
In regards to that last quote, see also: Yeasayer - Madder Red (dir. Andreas Nilsson)—with cameo appearance by music video director/friend AG Rojas.
Piranha 3D—what Snakes on a Plane should have been. I thought it was great for what it was. I don’t know how I feel about 3D technology yet, but I definitely approve of its novelty value in cheesy horror films.
Weezer planning tour where they’ll only play Blue Album and Pinkerton songs. By going back in time, Weezer becomes relevant.
