485. Float On, Modest Mouse

Films A'Plenty to be Reviewdalized

*Note - Do to me being relatively bored a week or so ago, every review that I have written on this blog can now be viewed on imdb.com.

Cane Toads: An Unnatural History, 1988
6/10, 13th best movie of 1988, 93rd best of the 80's, 613th best overall
This was acctually a pretty decent movie. Apparently back in the 30s there was a huge problem in Austrailia with some bugs that ate sugar cane. They brought in cane toads from Hawiaii to eat them. The cane toads didn't eat those bugs, but they did eat everthing else. And they soon spread over much of eastern Austrailia. Anyway the movie discusses how the movie effects the nation of Australia and the people that inhabit it. It introduces many interesting characters and lets them share their stories of how the cane toads have effected their lives. Now let me be honest with you for a second. If I had sat down and watched a two hour movie about cane toads, I probobly would have gotten very bored, and in turn given this movie a bad review. However, this movie is not 2 hours long, it's acctually only about 45 minutes long. Just enough time to get you interested, keep you interested, and than end. Was I doing back flips in my chair becasue I was having so much fun watching this movie? No, but it was still interesting, informative, and overall, a pretty good movie.

Run Ronnie Run, 2002
6/10, 28th best movie of 2002, 162nd best of the 2000's, 429th all time
Mr. Show with Bob and Dave is one of my favorite shows. Run Ronnie Run was created by the makers of Mr. Show with Bob and Dave and acctually based on one of the first scetches ever seen on that show. However, Run Ronnie Run is not one of my favorite movies of all time. What I saw here was exactlly what I saw when I watched Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy. What works extremely well as a 30 minute scetch comedy show doesn't work nearly as well as a 90 minute film. That's not to say the movie isn't enjoyable. There's some good laughs, and its really a fairly interesting plot. I liked the movie well enough, but overall I was expecting much better.

Hostel, 2006
5/10, 4th best of 2006 (out of 4 total movies) 241st of 2000's, 708th all time
I'm gonna be honest with you, I really don't know why so many people say this movie is so great. Granted, the movie is based on an interesting concept. Some Americans in Europe end up at a place where people pay others to torture and murder people. Fairly clever right? But the movie just isn't that interesting to watch. While I love horror movies, the reason I love watching them is that I can choose witch characters I'm rooting for. Deciding who I would want to live or die. While watching this movie I really never for a moment cared which characters (good and bad) lived or died. The movie did nothing to draw me in. I never felt like I was watching real people, just a very violent occasionally silly movie. Granted if I was 12 or 13 years old I might have enjoyed the movie simply for the fact that thier were boobs in it, but by now those days are behind me. It's not that this movie is bad, its just that I can't see a single thing that makes it stand out from other horror movies. I guess I just don't get what all the fuss was about.

Deep Blue, 2003
5/10, 42nd best of 2003, 224th best of the 2000's, 677th all time
Not to be confused with the ass-awful Deep Blue Sea, about super-intelligent man-eating sharks. Deep Blue is a Discovery Channel Documentary about life in the oceans of the world, narrated by Pierce Brosnen. This movie had some really cool scenes: Polar Bears attacking Baluga Whales, Killer Whales attacking Humpback Whales, Dolphins pushing schooling fish into a feeding ball, etc. I like watching these things, the only problem is I had seen them all before on the discovery channel... for free. The unfortunate problem with this movie is that it had litterely nothing that I hadn't seen at some time on the discover channel, or the national geographic channel, or animal planet, etc. Thus it was very hard to stay interested in it for over two hours. However, if you like this kind of stuff at all, and haven't seen it all already, than I would say its deffinately worth a watch.

The Omega Man, 1971
6/10, 6th Best Movie of 1971, 41st best of the 70s, 574th all time
The Omega Man is LOOSELY based on the novel "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson, one of my favorite books of all time. That "LOOSELY" should be stressed as much as is humanely possible. It is almost completely dissimilar from the book. Normally that would mean a death sentence for my enjoyment of the movie, but this time that's not the case. This movie survives as watchable becasue it goes so far from its source material. If the movie would have chosen to change only 7 or 8 key aspects of the book I likely would have found myself yelling at my television. However, this movie changed enough things that I was able to resign myself to the movie being completely seperate from the book within 18 seconds of the movies beginning. Thus by looking at the movie independently from the book I was able to say that it really wasn't half bad. It was over-the-top and cheesey at times, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. It was a fairly cool vision of the apocalypse, and I enjoy watching Chuck Heston playing the ultimate bad-ass scientist. If they would have taken a direct interpretation of the book I might be ranking this movie as a 10/10 or a 1/10, as it is they changed it up, played it wierd, and got a 6. Good enough eh?

Workin' 4 a Livin'

Thought I'd make a post about the relative pluses and minuses of my carear in the Convenience Smart industry. I have now worked for Kwik Trip for 5 or 6 weeks, and feel I can give a fairly accurate portrayal of the situation.

Things I like about working at Kwik Trip:
1. I like Restocking Bread and bananas, facing the store, and refilling the cooler. Basically I like any pointless meaningless task in which I can make something as orginized as is humanely possible.
2. I enjoy chashiering for the occasional people who are calm, friendly, and not in a terribally big hurry.
3. In a given 8 hour shift I am likely to hear at least 2-3 Huey Lewis songs
4. I enjoy making coffee, because than people buy it, and drink it, and I feel I have accomplished something truly great
5. I enjoy pretending to be interested in the covers of such magazines as "People" when they are purchased by women.
6. I enjoy appearing to be very impressed when people are able to pay for reasonabally expensive purchases with exact change.
7. I enjoy selling children candies and ice creams
8. It's air conditioned in there
9. My manager seems a fairly nice sort
10. I am getting extremely good at determining exactly what brand of ciggeretes a person is going to buy based on their age, gender, race, hight/weight, and apparent religous affilliation or sexual orintation... which is a fairly fun game. Oh, and also they pay me.

Things I don't like about working at Kwik Trip
1. Needed to I.D. people who are clearly over 18 because they don't look over 30 years old
2. Selling a person 50 dollars worth of scratch off tickets, having them come back in to cash in those tickets for 30 dollars and buy 30 dollars worth of tickets, having them come back and cash in those tickets for 10 dollars, not seeing them again untill tomorrow.
3. Having to drop all my 20s into the safe. If someone is going to take the time and effort to rob a gas station, they should at least get a little bit of a reward for it.
4. Somehow now that I work there the thought of eating their hot dogs seems unsettelling... and I like those hot dogs.
5. Having to sell ciggerettes to people who are clearly cancer patients from Mayo.
6. Suggestive Selling, when I walk into a convenience store I know what I want to buy, and I don't need anybody telling me to buy a cookie, or a fountain drink, or whatever else they want us to try to sell
7. Don't like working the early shift with middle-aged "Carear Kwik Trip Employee Women" who take the job slightly more seriously than I would like to
8. That "No Shirt, No Service" rule apparently applies to female customers as well
9. This job does not satisfy my creative need to make professional spin art
10. I know that on any given day it really wouldn't be a big deal if I showed up or not

All these complaints aside I enjoy working at Kwik Trip. The work is fine and the majority of the people I work with are nice enough. Some of the customers are angry, stupid, and unreasonable, but your gonna see some of that whereever you work. Overall I'd say its a pretty decsent job, and if your looking for one and you live in the tri-state area (Wisco/Minn/Iowa) I'd say give em' call.

"38 Special": Not Just for Shooting People Anymore

If you are from my generation if you have heard of 38 Special it is probobly because you heard them on the radio when you were forced to listen to the station your dad likes. Or because you heard a 6 second clip of "Hold on Loosely" on some commercial for a Southern-Fried Rock compelation CD. However, I assure you they are a real band, with real songs, and I saw them this Sunday night. Why did I go see 38 Special you ask? Well, because it was free... and I didn't really have anything better to do.

38 Special was preforming for free as part of Rochester's "Riverside" music promotion. Their opening band was called Fandango, which was assumed was some sort of ZZ Top cover band. We missed Fandango. We arrived roughly 6 minutes before 38 Special came on. After walking around aimlessly for about 2 minutes Jeff and I decided to try to go up front. People were not allowed to stand directly in front of the band, this was because there were thousands of people who brought lawn chairs to sit in, and us pathetic standers were not to block their view. Thus those of us who chose to stand were relagated to the sides. This being said, by showing up a full 4 minutes before the band came on Jeff and I were able to get a spot in the second row.

Standing in the second row put us in with the truly hard core 38 special fans. However, there were also a good number of hapless crowd-members who had simply wondered up to the stage moments before the show started, and suprisingly found themselves at the front of the crowd. Thus the crowd in this area was a good mix of die-hard fans who seemed to be fufilling their life's greatest ambition, and those (like myself) who have slightly loftier goals than to view a life show by one of the contributing artists to the "Going South" Compelation CD.

Throughout the roughly two hour show, the band played three songs I recognized. One I can't remember the name of, Hold On Loosely, and a cover of CCR's "Traveling Band". For these songs I enthusiastically sang along, clapped, cheered, etc. For the rest of the songs Jeff and I continuously flashed the metal sign, yelled "Goulet", and did many of the other activities that are associated with the semi-ironic enjoyment of a free southern-fried rock concert.

All this being said, 38 Special really did put on a pretty good show. They were loud, they talked to the crowd alot without really saying anything, and the one guy they got is acctually really good at playing the guitar. Acctually Once they got into their encour, and started really getting into it, the crowed came as close to knocking over the protecting fence as you can expect from a crowd of middle-aged prodominately overweight midwesterners who mostly work at the Mayo clinic and IBM.

Thus while I of chorse chose to give the concert and the people who attended it shit in this review. I must adit I enjoyed the show. And while this review was somewhat longwinded, I can tell you my review at the end of the concert was much more susinct. In fact, I held it to under 5 words: "38 Special Kicks Ass".
