wolfowitz... still wrong.

...when film-maker Stanley Kubrick was making "2001: a Space Odyssey", he asked the band to contribute to the soundtrack. Obviously, they turned him down. Apparently, Roger Waters later admitted, that this was one of the few career moves he ever made that he truly regrets.

a second chance for the passenger pigeon?

has been a long time since i went out to see a movie but i got dragged to see spring breakers tonight. its a film by harmony korine who wrote kids and not much else in the past 15 years. well, maybe he has some indie cred but i never saw his other movies. hard to pin this one down. it was visually rich and the score was perfect but i guess since the characters were so misguided and morally bankrupt it was hard to watch, which may have been the point. an inspired effort about the least inspirational of people.
