Attack of the three headed movie review!
You hear Citizens Band described as 'charming' or 'quirky' and or 'charmingly quirky' all the time. It came out in 1977 and I've missed seeing all these years until last night. And yes, it's quirky, but it's also so very dated. It tells the intersecting stories of some people in a small town during the height of the 1970's CB craze, which I lived through and remember vividly. It's got all the '70's movies tropes, the sexy swinging trucker, liberated women who still have to have a man, CB radio use, lots of coffee drinking, bad fashion, and magical old men who somehow just can't connect with their sons but who bring the whole town together.
I suppose when it came out it was kind of cute but now it's just kind of tiring and very 1970's. It's not bad, it's just not that great. It's like the director Demme was doing his best Robert Altman impression on film. I'm not recommending it, but it's not horrible.
Lush and beautiful but workman like adaption of Yann Martel's fine novel. I liked it but some of it seemed stagy and forced. It's beautiful to look at and the kid playing young Pi is a delight but the fact the tiger is CGI never left my mind. I loved the book and I liked the film. Recommended.

Blah
I haven't felt great ever since the last treatment. Sorry for the shoddy postings. It might get better, I don't know.

The rescue of the kidnapped women in Cleveland proves two things
- The police were told of suspicious behavior at that house and yet they refused to take the warnings seriously. They were too busy protecting the 1% to give a damn about some women in a mixed race neighborhood.
- We're on our own when it comes to this shit. The police and FBI can not be trusted.

Number three
I had my third session of chemo today, and I'm hypersensitive to cold. So of course as soon as I got out of the cancer center the sun went behind the clouds, the temperature dropped, and it started raining.
Fuck this weather.

Shut the fuck up
Some lesser known Harvard economist tried to make a name for himself by gay bashing the late John Maynard Keynes, a champion of government led economics. He insinuated Keynes was gay and because he was married to a woman who bore him no children that he was a closeted gay who didn't give a shit about the future because he was childless. Yeah, that makes sense, all gays and childless couples hate the future and live only for today, that's why Sparky and I recycle and try not to give much business to companies who deny man made climate change.
The thing about this Ivy League ass and major league fucktard is he thinks that calling someone gay is an insult, a thing to be hated and feared. My question is, what rock has this idiot been hiding under? This is 2013, we have same sex marriage, gay TV and film stars, gay sports heroes, gay political leaders. Does he not know that aside from troglodytes like him and right wing religious asshats that people like, respect, and admire gay people? This jackass probably does the limp wristed falsetto voiced impression of a gay person when he imitates one. He thinks all gay men want to be women and he's obsessed with not catching the gay cootie. Fuck him and the horse he fucked and then rode in on. He thinks he's cute and funny, but he's really a behind the times asshole who needs to be fired from Harvard so he can go claim a post at Jerry Falwell University in Lynchburg.
And to top it all off, he's an Englishman who came to this country to take a job from an American. What an ass. He needs to be deported ASAP. Small minded piece of shit, go back to rotting old Europe and stick your head in a gas oven.

Cooking with Dr. Monkey
Most of the after effects of last week's chemo session are over so I got back in the kitchen last night and made a new to me recipe. I made Italian sausage with miso and vegetable soup. I got the recipe out of a Japanese cookbook.
Next chop and saute in some canola oil one and a third cup onion and one half cup celery. If you like cooked carrot, add one cup chopped and peeled carrot, I don't like it so I substituted about a third cup of mushrooms.
Then I added four cups of faux chicken stock, it's a vegan 'chicken' bullion I use in my cooking. I added a pinch of salt.
Next I put in a third cup of my home canned tomatoes which I had chopped in my small food processor. I also added on can of cannellini beans. At this point I added the miso soup mix to my broth. The recipe called for brown miso but all I could find was red, so I used it and it did fine.
I then sliced my sausage in to thin rounds and I added it to the soup. I then let it all simmer for about an hour.
I served it with warmed up homemade bread. All in all it was very good. It tasted more Italian than Japanese, which wasn't a bad thing. Yes, I'd make this again but I'd probably wait until it gets cold in the late fall or the winter.

Film and TV reviews
I really enjoyed this atmospheric series, it's seven episodes long. It's well written, well acted, and well photographed. I highly recommend it.
This fly on the wall documentary tells the story of some door to door bible salesman in the late 1960's. It's a fascinating look at a a few guys doing a tough job. Sales isn't easy and what these guys do is tougher than most. Going into people's homes is hard, selling them is hard, I know because I used to do it. Ironically enough, I used to sell cancer insurance door to door, I did it for a few months. It's tough. I have a lot of respect for these guys, I have no respect for the goods they sold, but for the men themselves, yes.
I found this one on the Criterion Collection section of Huluplus, it's well worth your time. It is indeed a classic.
