so.... I just saw a comment on a friend's facebook status update that's got me wondering what people REALLY think about things...
In response to the main status which was about a friend of mine walking away from a job in which she was being harassed by a coworker and the management wasn't doing anything to stop it (despite complaints), a friend of hers said a bunch of things along the lines of congratulations for escaping the bullshit and best of luck in the future and then ended with (and I'm did a ctrl-c for the text): "The UNIVERSE SHALL PROVIDE...abundance is our birthright...enjoy the new path"
I'm sorry, abundance is our birthright??? Since when did we get born into such privilege as that? ... or is it because we're North Americans that we can presume such advantages? good grief. No wonder this world is going to hell in a handbasket.
Yay Sunday evening pessimism.

That movie Marwencol reminds me of the movie "Crumb", a biography of sorts about Robert Crumb and his family.
Along the same lines as this movie, wonderful, and sad at the same time.

Whoa. That film looks amazing, Tony. I don't know that I'd allow myself to open up my vulnerabilities on a doc like that.
In more lighthearted movie news, have you guys heard of Score: A Hockey Musical. Nelly Furtado plays a superfan, Hawksley Workman plays a community rink shinny player, and Olivia Newton John is a homeschooling mom fearing her son will be corrupted by the major leagues.
Hawksley even sings a song... about hockey, with the line "so bring some double doubles and some boston cremes". Oh o-oh oh hockey, hockey. hahaha!

Strange, sad and wonderful. I think I will have to track this movie down someday.

Found this on BoingBoing the other day, and I had to share it:
The Bit-52's play "Rock Lobster"
(I really enjoyed the synthetic voice, though the use of the old scanners was pretty awesome, too.)
