2015-02-04 a good line and meaning it at the time
‘If I were a cat’ (y)our man ©in
the humble(d) narrator of (t)his Take This Thing Back to Balti-memoi®es
and a good line and meaning it at the time said it better during the neck-and-head
rubbing part of the massage, poking out his arm diagonally to the side for /
emphasis, ‘I’d be / purring.’ Though
purring is certainly not his Modus Operundi,
particularly as of late, it was a good line, and he certainly meant it at the
time, a good line and meaning it at the time is all /
we gots.
‘The world is full / of
complainers’ the first voice-over line of the Coen Brothers’ Blood Simple has
it better – though the choice of ‘the’ to start any sentence is not Cin’s Modus
/ Operundi, and ‘it depends what the meaning’ Bill Clinton getting impeached
said it better , ‘of ‘is’ / is – ‘doesn’t matter whether you’re the Pope in
Rome, or the President, or Man / of the Year.’
Having returned his weekly quota
of movies to review last week-end but finding the video clerk ‘gone’ if the
sign was to be believed, ‘for three minutes’, and far too gone any longer to be
patient / for that amount of time anymore, this reviewer is having to cannibalize
the ©indomonium’s Permanent Collection
for films / to videe, cinnabilizing is all / we gots.
What it is is that your man
giving the voice-over – ‘The Private
Investigator’ in the movie as the credits call him simply better, and played by
the actor E. Emmet Walsh, and who was born ‘on the Vermont-Quebec border’, the
child of U.S. Customs officials, according to the Extras bit of the DVD, these
are borders that (y)our man ©In is very familiar with, having lived on both
sides of both for some years, certain border towns bisected right in their
middle by the border - is preparing the
viewer for the tale / to come.
This eleven o’clock number of a scene
in Blood Simple where E. Emmet Walsh’s private dick shoots the contents
of his .45 through the wall and then punches his right arm through the holes
that he’s made, in order to remove the
knife that the heroine played by Frances McDormand has implanted in his left
hand, through the window, is classic.
Course as with all Things these
days Cin no longer has the werewithal / energy or cinterest in watching / doing
/ thinking anything for its entirety at one sitting, and so we will videe now again Blood Simple, this Take This
Thing Back To Baltimore WTFednesday evening flog and review in this case
playing the same role as the fictitious British dude who does the ‘Audio
Commentary’ for this movie on the DVD, starting off legit at the beginning but
then slowly and surely starting to go off on wild tangents and lies – about
scenes being filmed ‘upside down and in reverse’ for effects, and nursing film
industry gripes for long stretches of time as the movie plays / in the
background - starting off legit at the beginning but then slowly and surely
starting to go off on wild tangents and lies and nursing gripes for long
stretches of time as the movie plays / in the background is all / we gots.
Course it’s only / a movie, as
this Take This Thing Back to Baltimore is only / a flog. ‘It’s a bad’ Cin says it better of the
various (b) / (s) / (m) and just plain / adventures that have befallen him
before during and after the hulk-smashing away of this Take This Thing Back
to Baltimore me-moirs, ‘movie’, and so / it is, a lot of the time up on out
on up on out on up on out on this Dog and Pony Show. ‘It’s your’ cousin Ted says it better, when
it comes to making decisions during the course of the same, ‘movie’.
There is no end of film analogies
and references up on out on up on out on this Dog and Pony Show, cinema - your
man on the aforementioned goggle inc. proper film-review blog wrote it better, ‘©inema’,
(y)our man the film director Norman Jewison suggests it better, ‘is the new /
literature’ – the only art form that incorporates, allows and requires all of
the others; writing, choreography, sculpture, music, etc. Course everything and everyone has limits,
‘no, that’s where I draw’ Cin said it better to his Da after being aksed
whether Cin, a lover of / the arts, would be attending a famous ballet / in
town, ‘the line.’
Nothing against ballet of course
but Cin falls asleep easy these days without constant action and plenty / of
it, and where sneaking out a bad movie is relatively easy – he nearly forgot
the cardinal cin of reviewing earlier tonight, namely ‘though shalt never not
sit in any seat other than an aisle seat in / the cinema’ but thank God saved
himself / in time - he imagines that doing the same during a pas / de deux
would result in his usual getting cinvolved in his well-accustomed triumvate of
cat-calls, hisses, and fisticuffs, his usual well-accustomed triumvate of
cat-calls, hisses, and fisticuffs is all / he gots.
‘Downtown Palo Alto’ the
faux-commentator says it better now, ‘was plunged into darkness for weeks’,
after the CGI / Computer Generated Imagery computer blew the electricity for
the same California town, according to this English dude, this fictional brown-out
generated during the digital rendering of a fly in one of the movie
scenes. Fly is real of course and
irrelevant, movie is low-budget compared to what passes for entertainment these
days, and this faux-commentary is surely in part a spoof on that, this English
dude railing against the evils of ‘the studio / system’. It’s very funny : you want to make a movie
without /the studio system, make a movie without / the studio system, like
these guys did and continue to do now, their films head and shoulders over the
studios’ regular pablum, and everyone / knows it.
It’s only / a movie, and this Take
This Thing Back to Baltimore flog is only / a flog. Cin has been uploading various entries as of
late in chronological order as time presents / itself, according to some sage
advise given Pliny / the Younger by Pliny/ the Elde® (hooky please, -id., oh
wait, what ?) - uploading various entries as of late as time presents / itself
is all / he gots – from almost exactly a year ago, and has read much whingeing
within same, ‘would you like’ the slogan akses it better, ‘some cheese with /
your whine?’
Still it’s illuminating enough he
supposes, how much / little / nothing changes within the course of a year – the
difference in time between when he hulk-smashed away at an edition of this Take
This Thing Back to Baltimore slog and the time that he found / to upload it
- it’s an arbitrary time period, purely by chance but surely not purely / by
chance. Cin went on and on and on about
horroregime zero then, as now, and his roommates the cats then, as now, ‘I’m so
desperately’ bartender Mo says it better on an episode of The Simpons
better for both, ‘lonely’, then / as now.
‘Tedious’ Dr. Lecter says it
better of his manic-depressive patient Benjamin Raspael in Jonathan Demme’s
(immo®(t)al film take on Thomas Harris’ The Silence of the
Lambs, videed for the umpteenth time two evenings ago – ‘very /
tedious’, then / as now. Cin will have
to lose the solipstic angle of this Take This Thing Back to Baltimore
me-moir, and soon, he is beginning to tire of it / himself, which is never good
when you’re writer and editor and publisher one / and all, ‘judge, jury’ Marge
Simpson says it better to another character during one of her episodes, ‘and
executioner all at once, you are.’
‘Where was I ?’ the
faux-commentator akses it better for both of them now as he tires of the film
that he’s ‘assupposed to be doing the Audio Commentary for. Actor doing this bit is quite gifted,
regardless of how much of his schtick is scripted. He sounds like the dude who did the
voice-over for Nundercover, innit Cash, like imports on Rugby Club come over to
steal / their ladies - ‘he aksed me’ a comely Club member said it better of a
line from same, true story, ‘if I fancied / a shag, and I said / yes’ - for
reasons unknown the English cockney sounds / authoritative.
Narrator goes on and on about a
character in the film that was cut, an Eastern European, apparently fabricating
this all up as he goes along, apparently fabricating this all up as we go along
is all / we gots. Film narrative and
plot that we videe on the screen is secondary to the score-settling and
ludicrous anecdotes as told by the ostensible narrator going on and on and on
about his nemesis ‘Adrian Butts’, only tangentially does he return to Blood
Simple as on-screen the characters
go about / their business, film narrative and plot that we videe on the screen
secondary to the score-settling and ludicrous anecdotes as told by the
ostensible narrator going on about his nemesis as on-screen the characters go
about / their business is all / we gots.
Course the Coen Brothers can
afford to be cavalier with or without their Oscars, being cavalier with or
without our Oscars is all / we gots.
Thank you for reading (t)his Take
This Thing Back to Baltime-moi®es and ©incere / at the time.
