Rock-A-Doodle: The Movie

"Chanticleer is a rooster who lives on a fairytale farm with many other animals, who are fond of and love him. His enemy is an owl sorcerer called the Grand Duke, along with the gang of owls who serve him. Chanticleer is attacked by a servant of the Duke, another rooster. Chanticleer beats the rooster, only to realize the sun has risen without his crowing while he was busy. His friends, believing he was lying to them about how his crowiing brought up the sun, a fact he had always thought was true himself, ostracize him, leading to the adventures of Edmond and the others. He is voiced by Glen Campbell."

Great description, guys!


I only have vague memories of this film, and feel somewhat befundled by what I remember...like unusually sexy, cartoon roosters, and a really rockin' soundtrack. But lately, I've been gettin' into the adult-contemporary styled music of country great, Glen Campbell, and found it odd that he lent his voice for the film's "tragic-hero" protagonist. Plus, Mr. Campbell was born on April 22, which also happens to be my day of birth, and I always find it rad to learn of celebrities with whom I share this special day...


Very
kool!!

Pre-Screening (Tinseltown Cuties poetry)

Okay y'all, here are some lyrics me and the Galv Man have been workin on for the new Tinseltown Cuties EP, A Ribbon in The Asshole. I'm thinkin it's gonna be kinda experimental, kinda folk-rock. But anyways, here are some lyrics. Tell me what "chu" think, y'all:

I watch
Nip-tuck

FULL-FRONTAL ISLAND FANTASY

Original lyrics by Chase M. Stuart:

Down by the lifeguard stand,
I see a little tiny man,
slippin' off his downstair drawers,
gonna show me somethin' more.

This is just a taste of the sultry lyrics that are contained on the latest EP by the B.S. Buttholes, Island Way, a concept album dedicated to the beauty and power of islands. Other stand-out tracks include "Too Tango," "Yang Ching Beach," "Test of my Faith," and "Looking Out My Window." As always, to accompany these ballads is music of the utmost technical prowess, that will sincerely test your faith and masculinity. Look for this diddy in stores sometime within the next four years.

Chinatown, 1974.

Alright, so ever since I slammed my face on the sidewalk this weekend after slipping on an ice-patch, I've had to sport some unslightly bandages to heal my bloody flesh wounds. And I couldn't help but think of this wonderful film starring Jack Nicholson as a wily private investigator who gets his nose sliced open by some tuxedoed thugs for being too "nosy." Throughout the film, he gets shat on and ridiculed for his misfortune, which is kind of how I feel when going out in public as onlookers glance at me and gasp at the sight of my horrific accident, as if to think, "Jeez, what kind of mess did this fuck-up get into?!" So yes, the film is truly an engaging masterpiece....

Oh, and little known fact that this is the film that coined the phrase "How do ya like them apples?" How do you like them apples, Mr. Damon?! I'd also take a stab and claim that Jackie's character in this little diddy was the inspiration for Mr. Anderson's "wounded" character in the cult classik Darjeeding Limited.

So c'mon, ya gotta give it some props, babe!
