Oi. This world.

Yes, Japanese textbooks should tell it like it was. But if Chinese people are going to boycott all of Japan, they should do it for the right reasons, not because of something that happened 50 years ago. The bayonettes have been lain aside, haven’t they?

Movies of 2005

Sunday, April 17th, 2005

Watched a documentary called Outfoxed yesterday and I recommend it to all. It’s about how Fox “Fair and Balanced” news is neither. I knew that Fox was bad, but I didn’t know they were that bad.

I haven’t been watching many movies lately. The last movie I saw in the theater was The Incredibles…or was it Life Aquatic…both of which I loved. I have no interest in seeing Sin City as I didn’t care much for the comic and I hear it’s a faithful adaptation. I will go see Hitchhiker’s Guide and Kung Fu Hustle, and most likely Charlie and the Chocolate Factory unless it gets bad reviews. Other possibles include Revenge of the Sith, Romance & Cigarettes, Batman Begins (though I don’t like the costume). Fantastic Four looks bad so I’ll probably avoid it, though not to the extent of Daredevil I hope. I would be interested in seeing Stephen Tobolowsky’s Birthday Party if it comes to Tinseltown. Anyone know what Kontroll is all about?
