Illalla varasimme bändivuoroa, ja meidän piti ilmoittaa yhtyeellemme nimi. Siitä tuli sitten Fänrikki Kolya ja Gruusian sosiaalitoimi. Lienee sanomattakin selvää, että nimi oli varsin eri vielä tunti tuota ennen.

Oliko sähköhammasharja halpa vai juusto kallis? En tiedä.
”Huitaisuja”
Sen sijaan lievää pöhköyttä edustaa viittaus Dägä dägään, josta sanotaan seuraavaa:
Useimmat blogit ovat katkelmallisia huitaisuja: ”Öh, tulin tuossa puolisen tuntia sitten salibandypoikain treeneistä kotiin, istahdin alas ja keitin itselleni teetä.” (digipelle.net) Agrippan teksti on toimitettua, harkittua. Eipä sitä yleensä paljon synnykään.
Implikaatio Samulin tekstin toimittamuudesta osoittaa sen, että Huttunen ei ole ehtinyt lukea Dägää tarpeeksi, tai että hän ei ole ymmärtänyt blogin tekstilajia. Toisekseen: Eikö tukanleikkaajien kuningas kielialueellamme kuitenkin ole Naula?
I’m off to Helsinki
Selections from the movie bin
Enough chatter for now.
Dellamorte Dellamore
Wonderful stuff! Titties, zombies and weirdo social commentary. A must see.
Haine
Technically stunning with good acting from the leading trio and a message (that might be a tad simplistic but still important). Well worth seeing.
Lashou shentan
I’m speechless. A wholesomely silly gun ballad from Woo that’s quite enjoyable exactly because it’s so airheaded.
Ladykillers
The Coen bros’ downhill slide deepens. I’m sad.
Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo
Masterful work from Leone. Not a minute was wasted, not a square inch of screen real estate left unused.
Spider-Man 2
Better than the first, still overwritten at times.
Touching the Void
A real (in all senses of the word) survival story that combines bare-bones interviews with reenacments that add visual drive.
Safe
Why do the critics love Todd Haynes? Safe is okay but nothing to go wild about, if you ask me.
Rivières Pourpres
What a lousy carbon copy of Seven.
Invasions Barbares
A must-see. ’Nuff said.
Dummy
Jovovich is irritating as ever, the soundtrack is overwrought but still the movie holds some charm. Recommendable.
Gozu
Oh for fuck’s sake.
Producers
A real disappointment. I’m beginning to doubt if Brooks was ever funny.
Where Eagles Dare
A charming old school WW2 adventure romp with a powerful climax. Unfortunately the movie ends about an hour after that. A passable popcorn side dish.
Hafið
Impressive, beautiful, sad. Ignore Ebert, see this.
Out Of Sight
A career high for Clooney and Lopez. Not quite as enjoyable as Ocean’s Eleven, but then again the style’s quite different.
Word 201: Palliative
The V.A., Knox said, ”is not there for the veteran. They’re there as a palliative for the non-veteran. To make people feel good, like they’re doing something for the vet.”
palliative (n) : remedy that alleviates pain without curing [syn: alleviant, alleviator] – source: The New Yorker, July 12 & 19 2004, p. 51
Bzzy azza bee
All in all a good week.
Word 200: Lassitude
After years of lassitude, Brando gave two of his greatest performances for a new generation of film-makers, establishing his ascendancy.
lassitude (n) 1: a state of comatose torpor (as found in sleeping sickness) [syn: lethargy, sluggishness] 2: a feeling of lack of interest or energy [syn: languor, listlessness] 3: weakness characterized by a lack of vitality or energy [syn: inanition, lethargy] – source: He was always a contender
