I just saw this French movie, starring Vanessa Paradis, Jason Flemyng, Benoît Poelvoorde and Jean-Pierre Marielle. It was hilarious. If you like b-movies, you'll enjoy this fine representation of the bad art. (Yes, I used art to describe the movie.) What's it all about? Well, Paradis plays a musician -- there's a stretch for you -- and Flemyng her boyfriend. Poelvoorde plays a sleazeball from the music industry who just wants to get into Paradis pants after they've first met. That's the setup. Now add a father who doesn't like the boyfriend, as he blew up his bar -- and is sentenced to prison. He escapes as hovering aliens with tentacles land on Earth and are hell bent on killing everyone. They decide to start in a small Frech hick town (is there even such a thing?). The music industry guy is infected by the aliens and becomes a bad ass who wants to do something not-so-nice to the girl. The boyfriend escapes from prison as the aliens start the killing spree. The boyfriend, the father and the girl now have some alien butt to kick. Read a complete review at Twitch.

Civil disobedience is called for

Image
In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
