I really like this film. Think "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" crossed with a good film on relations (like, say, "Lord of The Flies") and you have "I Heart Huckabees". The characters are great, and Lily Tomlin really is good. Her part reminded me of the character Holly Hunter plays in the totally underestimated "A Life Less Ordinary".
See "I Heart Huckabees"! Dream-like, existentialistic, constantly questioning the viewer (or not), it's a great film. The soundtrack is what I can describe as nice, without trying to be the least ironic. The film lingers in mind without any pain mefeels, but I think I'll wait a while before I re-see it. Seriously, go see this film. Just don't expect a Hollywood film and you'll do alright. Maybe.
This summer Microsoft will release version 7 of Internet Explorer. Bill Gates has said something about "Microsoft's" needs to "go further to defend users from phishing as well as deceptive or malicious software." He also, according to this article , have something to say to the Prime Minister of Denmark:
Bill Gates flew to Denmark and told the Prime Minister that if he didn't support European software patents, Gates would shut down a Danish software company that Microsoft had acquired, costing Denmark 800 IT jobs.
Media Matters, in essence, is like punching yourself in the face; it's a fact (the punching) and it hurts. It shows how the right-wing celebrity politicians from the USA are lying like hell. I'm sure the left-wingers are doing it as well, yet I'd like to see as sophisticated as the reports are at Media Matters regarding it, before I touch it; they're full of facts, and that always works in my book. Reading just a few lines of MM's top headlines, daily, will spark the following questions:
1. Why isn't FOX Networks banned off the airwaves for constantly lying? 2. Why haven't the US population overthrown their current, evil, lying, destroying, fascist, tyrannical government yet? 3. Why hasn't a tsunami killed the Bush family?
Maybe some more relevant questions will spring to mind. Like number three in the list. Anyway, it's a very good forum for thought.
Time to sleep, dear reader. But before I do, I must say that The Perceptionists' coming album, "Black Dialogue", is extremely good. Go buy it.
