Rockers とか Roosters とか Stalin も出てるから楽しそうだなと見たかったですけど、なんかつまんない映画でした。最小の方はまあまあけど、あとはちょっと。。。がんばって全部見たけど好きじゃなかった。センスがあわない。たぶん私は若すぎる。ごめんなさい石井様。やっぱり映画よりサウンドトラックの方がいいかも。

I think this film suffers from what other punk rock films suffer from. You go in it for the music but the film lacks. Perhaps it is simply not my aesthetic. The subtitles need work as well but I appreciate that they went through the effort of titling all the songs.

Dragon Fruit

I thought dragonfruit was bland (both the red and white varieties; both fresh and dried) and would mark “not worth consuming” if it wasn’t for my experience eating it chilled last year. An old family friend brought over a large bowl of chilled dragonfruit and I thought, great!—what are we going to do with all that bland fruit? Well it was so sweet and delicious chilled that I finally came around and learned how wonderful dragonfruit is.

cocoa beans

I went to Cadbury World in Dunedin, New Zealand and at the beginning of the factory tour they have a basket of raw, untreated, unsweetwened cocoa beans. They encourage visitors to take a taste to see how different they taste from the finished product. Truly disgusting! Makes you realize how much junk goes into making chocolate sweet enough to be edible.

V - The Complete Series

by Victor Lobl

This was one of my favorite shows as a kid. As an adult though I do not find it as entertaining, but it’s still decent.

Civilization

by Sid Meier

Back in high school I could only play this game in the summer. Once you start, you cannot stop. Staying up all night, conquering other civilizations, sending your people into orbit; sleep only comes when your body passes out but mind continues to play the game.

A story about "Stigmata"

Stigmata

by Rupert Wainwright

I can’t believe I saw this one in theaters. As I sat there, I thought this would be much better reconstructed as a 5 minute film a la Les LeVeque, or at least cut up really fast to create an interesting music video. As a full length feature, it is painful to endure.

1969

by Ernest Thompson

i saw this years ago and to this day i can’t look at a chocolate bar without thinking about robert downey jr’s character’s plan to avoid the draft.
