Saturday Savior - Episode 17 - Shellac - My Black Ass

Shellac (sometimes referred to as Shellac of North America) is an American group composed of Steve Albini (guitar and vocals), Bob Weston (bass guitar and vocals) and Todd Trainer (drums and vocals). Although they have been classified as noise rock and math rock, they describe themselves as a "minimalist rock trio."

Shellac is a band of the people. Holding true to their indie roots, they have forged quite the reputation over time as an act that can make you laugh, inspire you to mend broken bridges, question the truth, and find out just how much you can nod your head in time to their infectious grooves. Having seen Shellac a handful of times I can tell you first hand that they are a force to be reckoned with. I would see them any place, any time, anywhere. Let's put it this way ... if Shellac were playing in one room, and you decided to walk into the other, you'd be walking home that night. So whether it's watching them rock out, having Albini deal you your hand in a high stakes poker game, or rounding the basses every year at All Tomorrow's Parties - Shellac brings the goods.

I liked that man. Totally my style. I've never heard of the term "math rock." Learn something new every day.

Glad you enjoyed today's post, man. They are a lot of fun. Check out the album 1000 Hertz if want a really reall good time. :)

Where Have All The Unattractive People Gone?

Now I know that we all love our Amber Heard's, Gemma Arterton's, Carl Urban's, and John Hamm's. All fine actors and actresses that have graced us with their talent, wit, and oh so scrumptious looks. But what has happened to Hollywood and Television where the only time we see unattractive actors or actresses is when it's on purpose?

Granted, this is all just a matter of preference as to what gets your kitty purring or your johnson swinging, but at what point is it pigeon holing others in the business from landing lead roles (or any role for that matter) that they very well may just knock out of the park? Does everyone on the big screen or even the cast members that haunt your TV shows each week need to be knockout?

I've lost count of how many times I'll be watching a teen or college hi-jinks movie, you know the ones where someones parents have gone sailing for the weekend and left their child with a luxurious house to trash, and have found that every last person at that party is gorgeous. Perhaps the unattractive people, nerds, and so on were not invited but c'mon! It makes me feel like I'm a fly on the wall in fantasy land where all the girls have clear skin, straight smiles, and everyone remembered to wear their push up bra. The dudes are almost always jocks, stacked like a brick shit house, enough product in their hair that would fill the augmented proton packs from Ghostbusters II, and wear only the trendiest unbuttoned big label shirts they can find.

This display takes me out of the situation almost entirely and makes me question the values of the people who cast these movies and every other genre in the industry. What is the deal with a person not being remotely homely looking without having it be written that way. The focus is that this person is unattractive, so much so that they even give the character their own plot device revolving around them being ugly. I'm not even going to get into the "Ugly Duckling Transformation" plot, teaching everyone that if you're attractive people will like you a lot more and want to be your friend. It's bullshit. Yes, nice clothes can boost your self esteem and make you feel different when you're wearing them. But everyone gets naked in their own time and once the facade is shed you're left with the you you've always been.

I understand that no one wants to look at unattractive people on a big screen for an hour and forty five minutes a pop, but what if the people who are only getting these "ugly" roles are brilliant actors and actresses but are only being offered roles that are perhaps beneath them in talent? I'd hate to think that people are getting turned down from as early in the process of casting when they are flipping through the submitted head shots. There could be a whole ocean of talent being chucked aside into the burn pile because they don't meet the Hollywood ideal.

A movie in recent times that relieved viewers of this stigma was David O. Russell's The Fighter. Just about every character in that film looked like an every day person, with no smoke and mirrors to hide the fact that these characters were down and out on the looks department. From the emaciated Christian Bale, the ghastly gaggle of sisters, comb over cops, and even a hard knock townie played by Amy Adams. It was so nice to see people on screen who were not sensationalized just for the sake of giving the audience something to wank to when they got home.

I say that we need more roles that call for people to look like the people we pass each day when we leave the house. Little to no make up, pock marked, overweight, but to not have it be a focal point of their character and rather just be a part of who they are. I think if we had more less attractive heroes perhaps we can stop judging ourselves so much and lay off the unhealthy habits some have formed because of the Hollywood ideal.

Who's with me?

Saturday Savior - Episode 16 - Melt Banana - Shield for Your Eyes

is a Japanese band that is known for playing extremely fast noise music mixed with experimental electronica and pop-based song structures. They have worked with artists as diverse as Merzbow, John Zorn, Mike Patton, and Discordance Axis. They have released nine albums and toured worldwide extensively.

I first heard Melt Banana after a near death experience coming home from a Warpaint show at the Williamsburg Musichall in Brooklyn, New York. After very nearly being pulverized by on oncoming cab, this was the first band to grace my ears after my being thankful for still being allowed to breathe. They were the exact sound I needed to remind me that I was still alive and we cranked that shit all the way home. I can understand if they are completely not your thing, but I'm trying to diversify these posts. Enjoy the madness. I one day hope to catch this band live and have them melt my face off.

They're just madness, madness I say!

Saturday Savior - Episode 15 - Bridezilla (Live) - Queen of Hearts

Welcome to the *New Format* of Saturday Savior!

I figure that this is a much better venue for the daily music blog seeing as those who are curious about new music can just go straight to my blog section and find the latest additions. Much better than having to sift through all the things that I post throughout the day. Big thank you goes to Horrorfan23 for the heads up on how to embed.

This week I am featuring a video that I shot myself at All Tomorrow's Parties 2009 of a lovely lovely band called: Bridezilla

Bridezilla hails from New South Wales, Australia - These fearsome babies of smoky bar rock n roll use an angelic arrangement of guitar, drums, violin, and saxophone to bring their lilt and sexy sounds to the eager ears of their fans. I first encountered Bridezilla back in 2009 at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Monticello, Upstate New York. The band put on a most captivating show, and followed it all up with a meet and greet located near the merch booth. Kitty and I chatted with the band for quite sometime and became quick friends, exchanging facebooks, taking photos and what have you. I still keep in touch with Josh and Pia to this day. Hopefully the band will be coming back to the states some time soon, maybe even with a new album under their tiny waist belts. My fully signed by the band 7" single still spins in our house quite often. This band brings great things to the table, and with so much time to grow and learn as musicians there is still so much more we can expect from them.

Annoucement of Ink and Pixel Series

Hi, my name is dead anchoress and I adore animation in all of it's forms.

Not that animation doesn't get it's fare share of play here on MFC ... what with the seemingly endless barrage of 80's and early 90's afternoon cartoon intros, celebrity parody videos and what have you, I feel almost as if animation is often left out of the spotlight and goes under appreciated in a community of people who pride themselves on remaining unbiased toward films of all kinds.

This purpose of this blog is to bring animation and animated films into the spotlight once more. My hopes are that by giving some of cinemas greatest contributions to film a place of their very own, where you can look back through a catalog of the good, the bad, and the down right awful, will raise awareness of what seems to be a genre of film that worthy of more attention.

So with this and mind, I proudly and humbly present to the community here on MFC: Ink and Pixel - An ongoing blog series about animation and the films that have used this art to tell wonderful and spellbinding stories. I hope that you will join in the discussions, relive some of your childhood, leave love, spit venom, and contribute to something new.

Thanks for your time. The first entry will be posted shortly. I hope you enjoy it.

Movie Meals *Special Breakfast Edition* Episode 4: Coraline's "Through the Door" Vanilla Honey Chocolate Chip Belgian Waffles

I'm very proud to present to you the first * SPECIAL BREAKFAST EDITION* of my ongoing blog series about movies we love and the food we eat while watching them. Feel free to try the recipe out for yourself some time but please do not re-post my creations without giving credit, and if you make money off of them you better be prepared to cut me a check. Haha. Enjoy and Bon Appetite!

Movie Meal: Coraline's "Through the Door" Vanilla Honey Chocolate Chip Belgian Waffles

*SWEETNESS WARNING*

I strongly recommend that you follow the recipe to order as well as the complimentary items to go with the meal. The salt nature of the eggs and sausage will be a nice and almost necessary compliment to the chocolaty goodness.

* You will need a Belgian Waffle Iron to make these. If you don't have one ... get one! They will change your life.

Mix the following ingredients into a medium to large size bowl

1 1/4 Cup: Maple Grove Farms of Vermont Organic Waffle Mix
1 Large Egg
3/4 Cup: Organic Rice Milk Plain or Milk of your choosing
1 1/2 Tbls: Organic Raw Honey
1 Tbls: Malted Vanilla Extract
1 Tsp: Cooking Oil
1 Cup: Chocolate Chip Morsels

Stir contents with a large spoon or electric mixer if you want to be fancy about it and leave yourself more to clean up in the end ;) - You can add more rice milk if needed but I urge you to use very small amounts. You'll know when the consistency is right because your kitchen will start to smell fucking amazing!

Pour the contents of the bowl into the iron, make sure the iron is already heated up and piping hot. Be aware of how much you pour in as it is really easy to miscalculate the amount and end up making a mess. Be sure to place a plate underneath your cooking area, rest assured that if you purchase a legit Waffle Iron the company will provide one for you.

Serve a plate of Maple Sausage Links with eggs (any style) on the side. Again, the salty taste of these foods will compliment the sweet nature of the waffle very well and are almost a necessity.

Grab yourself a glass of Orange Juice or perhaps a great big cup of coffee and enjoy!

Oh Blockbuster, my Blockbuster :(

Well, it's finally happened. The Blockbuster Video located not even 5 minutes from my home is closing down at the end of this month.

Now while I know that this was bound to happen any day now, what with several other neighboring stores selling off their stock and shutting their doors, I was hoping against hope that my store would remain the exception to the trend. But alas, the uprising of streaming entertainment, decreased sales of DVDs due to piracy and theft, and online movie subscriptions ... there just isn't much need for the physical store to remain operational.

Now with so many ways of attaining movies in this day and age you might ask yourself why I'm so unnerved by this action. For me, it's a couple of things. For one, I really like the people who work at my local Blockbuster. The majority of their tastes in film and what they recommend that I watch has always remained severely questionable, but at the end of the day they were super nice and accommodating. Every time I would walk through the door (sometimes 3 times in one week) I would be greeted by name and asked what my thoughts were on my latest rentals or purchases. My opinion was valued and even turned the tide for some employees that were on the fence about certain titles, and upon giving them a second watch after my lengthy discussions, ended up really enjoying the movies after all. I would call them each Tuesday and have them hold specific movies for me which they would gladly put aside for my picking them up later in the day. I will miss these individuals and feel for them that their jobs are being terminated. When I asked if some of them would transfer most of them just replied that it simply isn't worth it to attach themselves to another location just waiting for the axe.

Another aspect of the brick and mortar location that I will miss, possibly the most, is the turn around rate upon which I was able to rent movies. Paying only $20 to Blockbuster online (Allowing for unlimited in store rentals - 3 at a time by exchanging my mailers) provided me with the luxury of renting sometimes up to 9 titles a week. Meaning that I could see all the latest releases and even some of their back catalog without having to worry too much about missing anything. I will miss this ridiculous amount input for my movie hungry brain.

Another great aspect of the physical store remaining open was the sale of their stock with sometimes having deals of 5 for $20! Seriously, what a deal! The movies would almost always be in immaculate condition upon opening them at the check out, and the speed upon which new releases were to hit the shelves would sometimes make my head spin. Holding out of taking a trip to Best Buy for two weeks was worth it when I can pick up the title for a fraction of the price along with a few other titles for the price of one.

Now I'm just as guilty as the next person who wasn't walking into Blockbuster each day to put money in their cash register. No, I would abuse my online service to the fullest: Mail - Watch - Return - Repeat - as much as humanly possible. So does this make me part of the problem? I suppose partly that it would, but it helps me sleep knowing that I still pay my online subscription fee which allows me to rent these films. So I am still paying, it's not like I am downloading each movie from the internet or something like that. That's true piracy. Each time you rent a film, the log-in number of your rental goes towards that particular films numbers and popularity. We're still doing our part regardless of how sideways the situation might appear.

So yes, upon hearing the news from my friends that the store is indeed closing, I rushed home and got myself a Netfilx account and linked it to both my Xbox 360 and PS3 systems and started streaming right into my home. It's a great service, and I even opted for the unlimited 3 mailers program so I can still have my physical disc media from time to time. But it's no replacement for the people, the conversations (Even though I have all of you to share my movie experiences with :) - And I'm sure that I will adjust in no time. The whole thing just makes me wonder what is happening to film as a rented format and how we're having the experience of opening and unwrapping a finished product taken away from us. As soon as we are done streaming it, *poof* it's just gone. Not to mention that we don't get access to the entire catalog of Netflix, not to mention having to wait 28 days for the newer films. Groan.

So goodbye, Blockbuster Video. I knew you well and I will miss you very very much.

Mood: Sad

dead anchoress at 02:49 PM Feb 17

That's what I'm sayin. Another plus was that it gave me an excuse to get out of the house and talk movies with people. :)

Derek237 at 05:48 PM Feb 17

:(

I will never take my local Blockbuster for granted ever again. You don't know what you've got till it's gone.

Though I can expect it to stay around for a good long while. One advantage of Canada's unbelievably shitty Netflix service is that Blockbuster is still sticking around.

WebHead0813 at 05:54 PM Feb 17

I agree, it's nice to just go somewhere and browse sometimes. It's the same thing with my comics, I get the majority of my titles sent to me, but it's still nice to walk into a real shop now and again. My brick and mortar BB is still hanging on for the moment tho

Announcement of Saturday Savior Series

Hi, my name is dead anchoress and I love music.

90's Nostalgia Day seemed to be a huge success last weekend. Whether you were into it or not, every Schmoe's feed pages were chock full of songs that whisked us back to when things were pure and good.

And so with the passing of time the music, the industry, the trends, the times, have all changed ... we have changed. And while we can lament over the past and wish that things were that simple once again, we can only march forward into that good night.

Now I'm not going to pretend to know what you all like, and I am certainly not telling you what to like ... but I figured I would start a series on MFC about music that is going on today, so that some of you might not feel as bitter or lost.

Now I know that this is a movie website, and some people might find it to be inappropriate to be posting music here on a semi consistent basis. But let's not forget that music is a HUGE part of the movie making and viewing experience and that a film would be lost without it's sweet sounds to draw us in.

So I invite you to listen, comment, criticize, and enjoy all that this every few days series has to offer. I live, eat, breathe, and find new music each and every day. Now every few days, you can too. You might discover something you never knew you loved.

Thanks for your time.

Can't wait. I really could of used something like this about 9 years ago so I could have gotten into a band like The Black Keys back then instead of like 3 days ago. (I'm not joking) Can't wait for the "columns". And since you dig on music so much I will ask a question I ask almost any music fan I meet, "If you could choose a decade of music to grow up in, would you choose 1955-64 or 1965-1974?"

Kitty Green at 09:09 PM Feb 08

AWESOME IDEA!!!! DO IT!! Music is too important in life... and, just think, without having music in the movies, they wouldn't be able to set the moods, properly. :-D

dead anchoress at 09:14 PM Feb 08

@ Kitty - Thanks very much, you sexy cat! So true! I am honored to have you as my companion for all of our musical adventures.

@jekupka - Thanks for the support. :) As far as which era - if I absolutely had to choose I would have to go with 1965-1974. I would fit right in ;) But, I do love so much music from that other era as well. I'm not much of a "date" guy, but I get comfortable vibes from that time. Some of my favorite music is jazz and smokey lounge bar sirens.

Is It Just Me? Episode 1: Bullshit DVD/Blu-Ray Packaging

Is it just me ... or are the production companies that package our movies ripping us off? As a collector of all things DVD and Blu-Ray, I get more than a little pissed off when I go to purchase a brand new product and it's absolutely covered in promotional stickers and price tags.

Some of these stickers are a breeze to peel off. Years and years of practice as a former Coconuts, Gamestop, and Best Buy employee have made the force strong with me when it comes to slowly and painstakingly lifting these sticky sonsofbitches off of my purchased goods. But what about those DVDs and Blu Rays that have been sitting on the shelves for quite sometime, allowing the glue underneath the sticker to adhere to the casing itself? I just paid good money for something that is brand spanking new and would like to keep it clean, but already upon unwrapping the packaging that shit is leaving a gummy, sticky residue all over my brand new shit! Not only do I have this square, gray, tar-like substance on my DVD/Blu Ray, but when I put it away it starts sticking to the packaging next to it! Bullshit I say! If we're paying high end prices for a quality movie - we should be allowed to keep it in the condition it was originally intended to remain in.

And another thing ... why so many stickers? There's a tab at the top of almost each and every DVD/Blu-Ray these days that tells you exactly what you're getting. Blu-Ray Disc + DVD Copy + Digital Download. It's already there, so why do you have to fuck up my packaging with THREE other stickers telling me what I already know? Anyone who owns a Playstation 3 already knows that it is Blu-Ray compatible because a majority of the games are pressed onto Blu-Ray discs, and let's face it, it's one of the main reasons you bought that system in the first place over the Xbox 360.

There's an easy solution to all of this ... PLACE ALL OF YOUR BULLSHIT STICKERS ON THE GLOSSY OUTSIDE PLASTIC WRAP PACKAGING INSTEAD! Yeah, there are some movies that come with those cool cardboard slip-over covers, but you know what ... WRAP THAT SHIT UP TOO! It's not going to cost you much. Fuck, you can even skip wrapping the DVD/Blu-Ray inside the cardboard sleeve because you know what ... that's already sealed with those obnoxious anti-theft white printed stickers that hold the case together. Another thing we have to peel across from the corners and pray that some little piece of it doesn't get stuck, forcing us to use our nails to get it off, scratching and denting the plastic up top making it look marred and ugly.

Is it just me, or is this bullshit?

Sticker residue RAAAAAAAGE!

tbondrage99 at 08:50 PM Feb 04

I hate that shit. I have a pretty good method of getting rid of the rest of that stick residue though. Whenever this happens to me, which like the rest of you is alot due to our many DVD/Blu-Ray purchases, what I do is take a peice of tape and stick it to the residue a little then take it off again, then on again and off again and so forth anyways the shit sticks to the tape and soon it is gone from your life forever never to stick to the movie next to it on the shelf.

dead anchoress at 10:17 AM Feb 05

Yeah, I've been aware of that method for a while now. Sometimes it works out really great and other times it does next to nothing. Another good way to get the stickers off is to heat up the sticker with a blow dryer until it turns black, then it peels right off.

Movie Meal: No Sympathy For Old Men Organic Fire Chicken Tacos

Heat medium skillet pan on a medium heat. Once you feel the pan is hot enough spray the pan with vegetable cooking spray. Do not use cooking oil as it will end up tasting chewy.

Set timer for 9 minutes and continue to stir in the ingredients. The order of them does not matter. Pay attention to the time or you will burn your meal and and feel like a jerk.

1 lb.: Organic Ground Chicken Meat
6 Pinches: McCormick Garlic Powder

Prepare the tacos with the following ingredients:

Jack Daniel's Spicy BBQ Sauce
Manzanilla Green Olives
Chopped Red and Yellow Bell Peppers
Veggie Cheese Shreds or Shredded Cheese of your choosing

@Randy - Yeah, The Room is one of those situations where do I score the movie based on it's quality or how much fun I had while watching it. We all laughed out asses off during that one and it was one of the best watches of the year so far. It's a tough call, in fact, IT'S TEARING ME APAAAAART!!

Movie Meals - Episode 1: Retired and Extremely Dangerous BBQ Wings

Welcome to the first entry of what will hopefully be an ongoing blog series about movies we love and the food we eat while watching them. Feel free to try the recipe out for yourself some time but please do not re-post my creations without giving credit, and if you make money off of them you better be prepared to cut me a check. Haha. Enjoy and Bon Appetite!

Movie Meal: Retired and Extremely Dangerous BBQ Wings

Pre-heat over to 375 degrees

1 Bowl: Jack Daniels Hickory Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce
6 Pinches: McCormick Garlic Powder
5 Pinches: McCormick Parsley
5 Pinches: Ground Black Pepper
2 Tbls: Organic Raw Honey
1 Tbls: Maple Grove Natural Maple Syrup
McCormick Chipotle Chilie Pepper: Hold over the bowl and shake vigorously

Stir Contents with a Basting Brush

Place wings along cooking sheet lined with vegetable oil sprayed tin foil. Fold edges of tin foil up so the contents does not drip.

Serve in a bowl with Onion Rings or side of your choice along with some sipping whiskey or single barrel bourbon to wash it all down.

Enjoy!
