At the movies:
Starsky & Hutch.
It was recommended by a certain DJ, and all I wanted was something fun, light, and not too heavy on symbolism.
See: Friday was heavy on Pisces action. Pisces Lunch, Pisces waiter, later in the evening, Pisces waitress, all with February-Pisces birthdays. Weird how that happens – three in a row.
However, it was me and Sagittarius at the movies, and no, I don’t want to see blood dripping from anyplace, or anything worse than cartoon violence. So the remake of Starksy and Hutch seemed like the way to go. It was.
Fine, light entertainment. I’m sure some of the visual gags and riffs on 1970’s pop culture were lost, but the music was almost good.
Two scenes really amused me greatly. The “cop on cocaine” bit was entertaining as the character’s progression moved deeper and deeper into his buzz. The way the eyes got redder and the pupils dilated, very funny. Laughed a lot at that.
The other one was the “Easy Rider” sequence. Masterful bit of cinematic something.
While waiting through the trailers at the beginning, though, I’m back to my basic premise that the trailers themselves are oftentimes better than the movie itself.
“Hey, in the trailer, I thought the car hit the boat.”
First day of SXSW
A three hour tour?
The band, Elvis Hitler, covered “Green Acres” on one CD.
Any other good cover songs?
Uh-oh, this just noticed: Money by Pink Floyd is now a banned song.
