MTV, you disappoint me.
I thought MTV was a champion of anti-censorship. I guess not so much these days....May 27, 2005
Thanks Brookfield Police Department - You're the Best!
I was running a few minutes late for work this morning so I may have been driving a little faster than usual. I was pulled over on Bluemound a few blocks from my office. During the fifteen minutes that I sat in my car waiting for the inevitable ticket, I saw three other drivers getting pulled over in front...May 26, 2005
Lost Finale
I thought it was a good two hours. Science teacher gets blowed up real good. The crazy French women steals Claire’s baby, then gives it back. Island bad guys kidnap Walt. The hatch is finally opened. What’s in the hatch? Wouldn’t it be great if during next season’s first episode, Locke climbs down the hatch only to find Adam...May 25, 2005
Spring 2005 at the Movies
I’ve been to the movies pretty often this year. Here’s what i’ve seen and a few thoughts: Constantine Another stiff performance from Keanu, ridiculous religious mumbo-jumbo, good cgi. Sin City Robert Rodriguez is the bomb. The movie has great energy. The Interpreter Interesting story idea, good setup, the last half hour is a big letdown. Racing Stripes I get...May 23, 2005
Top 100
Time Magazine film critics Richard Corliss and Richard Schickel came out with their top 100 films of all time list today. I love these types of lists because of the fun debate that they stir up. It’s so subjective. Unlike the American Film Institute’s list from a few years ago, the Time critics included foreign films on this new...May 17, 2005
The Fearless Freaks
The Flaming Lips documentary The Fearless Freaks came out today on DVD. I picked up a copy and watched it tonight. The film covers the band members’ lives from childhood all the way to their current success. It’s a fascinating story. The music is fantastic and the concert video brings back great memories. Filmmaker Bradley Beesley is a close...May 13, 2005
Raveonettes
Last night my brother and I spent a late night at the Mad Planet seeing the Raveonettes show. I love this band. I’ve heard them best described as Jesus and Mary Chain meets Buddy Holly. It’s cool music. It makes you wish you were wearing a white t-shirt with a pack of cigarettes rolled up the sleeve, a black...May 12, 2005
Brendan Benson
Next week’s Keane show should be good. Hopes and Fears is one of the better albums i’ve picked up in quite some time. Opening for them is a guy named Brendan Benson. His website allows you to listen to his new cd, The Alternative To Love. I’ve listened to it a few times and have really taken to it....May 11, 2005
Year One
Speaking on behalf of The Life Of Leisure’s worldwide staff, I would like to thank you for visiting this website. One year ago today this site set out on a quest to take over the internet and make it a better place. We may have fallen a little short of our goal in year one, but we promise to...May 10, 2005
NBA - I love this...zzzzzzzz...snore...
I’ve lost interest in the NBA over the past few years. The league bores me. The one thing that i’m still remotely interested in is the Miami Heat. Shaq got the shaft by the Lakers, so i’m rooting for him. I also like seeing Dwyane Wade represent. 31 points, not bad. Go Heat....May 9, 2005
Well...that explains it.
As a little kid, I always wondered why my sister was buckled into the shopping cart’s safety seat, yet I never was....May 9, 2005 3:28 PM | 11 Comments
Vader Rising
We’re about a week and a half away from seeing Anakin transform into Vader. I’ve been trying to avoid reading too much about it before seeing the film, but i’ve noticed a lot of positive early reviews. I’m getting excited. I loved the first three films. Menace was horrible and Jar Jar nearly sunk the series. Lucas rebounded nicely...May 6, 2005
Late Afternoon Matinee
I usually treat myself to a Friday matinee after work. It’s a nice way to start the weekend. Last week, I caught Kung Fu Hustle. It was really good, a nice departure from the crouching tiger/hero/flying daggers stuff that’s become the new standard for the genre. Great slapstick. This week nothing in the movie listings is jumping out at...May 6, 2005 6:30 AM | 3 Comments
T.G.I.F
It’s been a long week, one that i’m thankful is nearing its finish. Since i’m not a very religious person, this week i’ll thank Grover. G. Love (of Special Sauce fame) was a close second for the honors. There’s really no reason for this post. I came across this picture of Grover and it struck me as funny for...May 4, 2005
Gold?!!
Does anyone else think that this is lame? Either bring back the Warriors without the native American mascot or keep the Golden Eagles (after a couple of years, it grew on me). Not this. This sucks....May 3, 2005
I have my answer. I have my answer. I'm walking on air.
Hannah and Her Sisters was on Turner Classic Movies tonight. There’s a scene halfway through where Michael Caine’s character admits his feelings for Barbara Hershey’s character. The scene is pure magic. It’s one of my favorites. If you’ve never seen the movie, it’s worth a rental. Michael Caine is the shit....May 1, 2005
Summerfest Lineup
Sniff, sniff…What’s that awful smell coming from the former (and inferior) center of power? Oh, it’s the Summerfest amphitheatre lineup announced thus far. I’ll give Jim his Allman Bros, but the rest of it? Ouch! Here’s one place that you won’t find me this summer: Potawatomi Classic Rock Stage Link to 2006 Summerfest thoughts...Mothly Archives
