Thanks to the wonders of the internet i solved a dilemma. i just watched "The Prestige" or 'magicians mumbling with marbles in their mouths' as i like to call it. The story line was not as difficult to follow as the dialog. i had the sound up so loud just to hear what they were saying that during electric bolts, etc the whole house was shaking and the neighbors were having Vietnam flash-backs. (not sure if this is due to a bad audio mix or too many punk shows)
Despite rewinding i couldn't make out what Christian Bale's character said just before he was hung. Through the beauty of the internet i discovered that he says "ab-ra-cadab-ra" (excuse my attempts at spelling). Now i can sleep tonight.
What science geek doesn't enjoy a movie with Tesla references and cameos.
Gear-up boys and girls, we are entering quite a movie stretch ahead of us. 'The Simpsons: The Movie' and 'Sunshine' come out this weekend and 'The Bourne Ultimatum' not too far after. Did i mention '300' comes out on DVD as well?

Gravity Always Wins
Alright, i'm sure someone might try to shout 'sexist' but just because i have a penis shouldn't mean that i can't speak up about a female issue as seen by someone from the outside.
Feminists are constantly talking about the things that males do to persecute and abuse the female of the species. Right now i want to bring another issue to light: the completely horrific and unacceptable way that females treat one another.
When in our social history did 'the females' get together and decide that it was perfectly acceptable to openly comment on each other's weight and appearance, to each other's face none the less. If some fucker were to walk up to me in a pub and say 'you look like you've lost weight' or 'that color's not flattering on you', that fuck-head better be ready to get either a fist or a forehead directly to the fucking nose. i know i would never say that to another male unless i was looking to pick a fight. Yet women make comments like this to one another, even strangers, on a regular basis. What the fuck?
Say what you want about guys staring at girl's chests but this judgemental pettiness between women is the real cause of the cancer. They have shows where all they do is just that: judge each other's dress and appearance. They have shows where someone or a group of their supposed friends write in to a TV station to ask for an appearance intervention. The shows publicly air how 'bad' they look and spend the rest of the half hour having 'professionals' (professional what... cunts?) help them pick out new clothes while others re-do their hair and make-up. This is what they watch for entertainment.
Then we have the fashion magazines: Cosmo-something, Mary Whomever, Shape, Red-Something else, and the list goes on and on. All those airbrushed glossy covers of models and actresses fly off the rack. This does more to damage the female psychie than any number of Playboy or pornographic magazine ever could. How many ways can i rip this apart? (on a separate note, why do you keep getting suckered into those 'how to please your man' headlines on the cover... we're easy: sex, it works for us... no mystery)
Who runs the fashion industry: gay men and bitter old women. Let's look at where both are coming from. What do gay men like to look at? Men! Why are you all so fucking surprised when runway models are all waifs that look like teenage boys? Why are you allowing this as your standard for what looks good? And the other: bitter old women. What do they want? They want everyone younger and/or prettier than them to feel bad about how they look. Yet month after month those glossy, degrading, insulting magazines fly off of the grocery store checkout lane shelves. Why?
This right, and at times obligation, that females feel they have to openly comment on one another's looks has given way to multi-million dollar industries. Magazines, television shows, beauty product lines, stay youthful chemical mixes, diet pills, diet books, diet plans, and of course plastic surgery. Using surgical mean to try to look better and maintain some warped sense of youth just makes you look like a fucked up doll that no one is attracted to except your vain self. Like Radiohead once said "gravity always wins".
Women: cut that shite out of your lives. No more of those magazines and television shows. Stop with the petty comments and even more so, stop propagating that it is OK to make them. There is finally a strong female contender for president and all i've hear any female comment on is her appearance, not her stance or political beleifs, but on her appearance. When people say that kind of stuff to you, tell them to fuck off. If you'd prefer you can borrow the method of your male counter-parts and give them a good hit. We won't mind.
At any rate this is unacceptable behavior and if women want a better quality of life they must stop attacking one another in this way. Much like racism is used to turn the masses against one another, women are keeping themselves down with such behavior. The only real problems we experience in life are those that we create as a society. Those things can be changed with a simple agreement.

The Newest In New
As we near the 200th entry i feel obligated to point out some subtle changes. First, i am introducing useless polls to 1punkmonk. Yup, pick your own answer to useless questions. Vote early and vote often. The virgin poll question is choosing your favorite pop boy band. i know, i don't listen to boy bands either, just choose the one that irritates you least.
Lastly, two updated links of merit are added (sorry Peta2 and An Inconvenient Truth but no one likes a long links section, so boo hoo to you). Banksy is a great stencil graffiti artist whom everyone who's not an asshole should enjoy. Are you an asshole (next week's poll topic)? Also is a link to TheseComeFromTrees. It's a neat gorilla sticker campaign to make people think about where paper towels come from while they are pulling sheet after sheet out at your local public restroom. i like stickers and i like trees so this is a no-brainer.
Enjoy,

Best Interview EVER
Holy fuck! i just saw the greatest interview EVER! Good ol' Hank interviewed Christopher Walken on The Henry Rollins Show. i'm laughing just thinking about it. It was funnier than an episode of My Name Is Earl with more cowbell. He apparently puts out so many movies because he has no hobbies. Classic!
i am including here the site for a group who wants to see him run for president. He said if elected he'd do it. www.walken2008.com
Now i'm not officially endorsing any candidate as of yet but just imagine the possibility for a moment... makes me smile.
