I watched Snakes on a Plane last night with a group of fourteen people from school. It was the first showing in Japan. They had changed the title to Snake Flight and there were about six other people in the theater. I got my face blown off. It was just that awesome. While we laughed and screamed and yelled throughout, the Japanese people missed all of the magic and probably ended up having a horrible evening. But it doesn't matter! It was too fantastic for me to care.

Memorable quotes:
"That's good news. Snakes on crack."
"Fucking snake, get off my dick!"
"Why exactly are there snakes on this plane?"
"Someone get this fucking snake off my ass!"

The madness started with a number of extremely graphic bites (breast, penis, tongue, eye, etc.) and after that, it was just a riot of angry snakes and panicking people. Oh geez. If you haven't seen it, do so now. We left the theater skipping and dancing and exclaiming how incredible our viewing experience was. And then I saw a cross dresser and skipped around some more.

Over dinner, our conversation went something like "oh yeah, and that other part where blah blah blah blah? That was SO AWESOME!"

I want to make a t-shirt and show my appreciation for the masterpiece. Heh heh. The director is also responsible for Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco. Genius.

What else is worth mentioning... Today I had two shamisen performances at the Ultraman shopping district and they went fairly well. If I get any pictures from the people who had cameras, I will post them.

Hm, ho, hum. I can't think of much more to share. The movie. See it. Incredible. I want to watch it again. And again. And again.

... and so, another week comes to a close. I'm thinking about redesigning the layout again. This pattern of black background and colored details has started to bore me. Next, I hope to go for BRIGHT! DYNAMIC! VIBRANT! ETC! My thoughts so far have been inspired by Jackson 5 coordinated stage outfits. Brace yourselves.
