Seriously, I think that's how long it's been.
My curmudgeonly ways of not playing along with every passing meme may be ending!
Well, probably less that and more so a nice artist drew me an icon which totally embodies my char more than the ones I stole from random artists.
This was an icon from Formidonis's astounding free icon day, in which he completed - get this - 153 unique color icons in a single day! I didn't even know he had that many friends! Hah! But no, that was wrong to say. I don't even know the guy...
But still, check out the collage: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1384745/

I MISSED OUT
Or, rather, I did, and it's really good!
I just saw a movie last night called "Reflections of Evil," and while it's not a documentary, and I personally have a hard time recommending it, my LA friend said it's probably "one of the greatest movies about Los Angeles ever made."

It's basically 90 minutes of people on the street screaming at each other, and strange acid trips.
You hooked me with "greatest movies about Los Angeles" and then opening quote was about it being like a modern Eraserhead. I'm very curious about it. Do you normally have a palate for avant garde lynch-ian type films or do they kinda bug you?
Seen anything else by that director?
You know, I have yet to see most of Lynch's work! I haven't even seen Twin Peaks. I've only watched Mulholland Drive, and I definitely didn't "get" it, but that was a long time ago and I'm willing to give him another chance.
Damon Packard's nuts...he also did a Star Wars mockumentary that's available in its entirely on archive.org. I want to see his new movie, Spacedisco One, which is apparently some kind of sequel to Logan's Run.
Don't feel bad about not getting Lynch. Most people don't and that's part of the fun, trying to figure it all out because he claims there is meaning behind all of his decisions.
I'm just now going through Twin Peaks and it's like a weird, pretty good soap opera. Go for it whenever you get the chance but there's definitely ups and downs to it. Mulholland is a good one, I love Lost Highway, Wild at Heart is a trip, Blue Velvet is his most well known/appreciated, Eraserhead and Inland Empire are a chore to get through with minimal payoffs.
Almost all my friends are film majors, so I've naturally seen bits and pieces of Eraserhead. I've never been able to take more than a couple of minutes of it. It seems very self-indulgent somehow.
To go back a couple topics...I watched that whole Helvetica documentary, and it's seriously really great. I love documentaries that find these wild and unbelievable characters. These people are so impossibly opinionated about typface. It's kinda like how amazing the characters from King Of Kong were. That's another fantastic documentary, man.
Don't get your hopes up, it's a (pretty damn funny) joke...

My roommates went to Funspot a couple weeks ago for that same annual tournament that's in the movie. I think they saw that referee, and Mark Alpiger:

Also THANKS for putting your feet all over a public arcade machine, guy.
