From the Iraqi Desert:
Nov. 4 looks to be a day of openings. First, Jarhead--Sam Mendes' new film starring the Gold Digger refrain himself and that sketchy kid from Donnie Darko--opens at a theatre near you. True, with all the shite in the world today, you may not want to be reminded of the Mess o' potamia, but this film looks powerful nonetheless. Crazy how a SoCal desert can look like one of the more dangerous spots on the planet.
Speaking of gold diggers, if you pity poor Britney a bit on account of that deadbeat, white trash, low class fungus she picked up, well then this should be funny.
Secondly, Copper Mountain opens on the 4th. My board can finally come off the mantle. So, with the success of Dog Town, it was only a matter of time 'til some capitalist at Universal figured out that Terje and Farmer were just as instrumental in their own field. First Descent is my favorite snowboard film I haven't seen yet. December 2. The trailer made me jealous. Fyi, the ESPN bio conspicuously fails to mention Terje's accomplishments at the US Open (Stratton, VT--not Flushings, NY), which are what made him the Michael Jordan of the sport to begin with. I should know; I was there for it all. So much for corporate objectivity. Problem with competing sponsors?
December 9 is another day to mark on the old calendar. Burly reaches the quarter-century mark, a couple people gather in Central Park to remember an eccentric British chap, and Zhang Ziyi returns to the big screen:
Who cares if a Chinese woman is playing a Japanese geisha, right? She looks damn fine doin' it. Btw, was she the crouching tiger or the hidden dragon? I can never remember which one it was...
