I remember reading a few articles by some music journalists stating that rock stars better leave the protesting & social commentary to political-minded people and other of their ilk. That there were better equipped people and literary figures who could better put into words about the travesties of the people in power and what some dumbos will do in the name of religion. And I would tend to agree!
watch the machinist online If the musician(s) in question were some pop band, rapper or boyband (not that I would call it music). They have no place in discussing such topics. How weird would it be if Fergie of the Black-Eyed Dogs sang a song about Tibet or Iraq among the other 11 songs about her butt or her lumps? Or how about Shakira? Britney? Marc Anthony? Anyone of those shits!
Now when a rock band does it, I listen. When Pearl Jam does it, I am blown away. Or when Megadeth does it. Leave it to bands like these.
Ok U2 does it, but I can’t stand them.
Oh how I wish that it happened as it sounds when you read this post. I know some of you must be thinking of the sleaziest things in your mind the second you read the title. Yeah, I mean you! Snap out of it. And some of you might be wondering, her and you? Come’on Rosh! Well here is the story, which is no way as interesting as the title.
There’s no better way to relax on a Sunday then get my butt over to Cafe Coffee Day and have a cold mocha frappe and a blueberry muffin. Muffins are now one of my favourite snacks but there’s only a couple of places that I can get some. Other than the 2 CCDs in town, I was also able to get a really nice one at Barista’s located in Bay Pride Mall.
There was so much talk & hype about this movie that I was afraid that I would not like it. But now that I have seen it, I like the movie a lot. Especially Ellen Page, who I remember as this skinny short haired kid in the first season of ReGenesis. So Juno McDuff (Page) is this girl who gets unexpectedly pregnant by her long time friend Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera), who is passively in love with Juno. After telling her father & step-mom (brilliantly done by Allison Janney), Juno decides to look for a suitable couple who can adopt the baby, with the help of her friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby). She finds, what seems like, the ideal loving couple in Mark and Vanessa Loring (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner) and meets them at their house with her father. Juno finds a friend in Mark as he seems cool & down to earth, making a living creating commercial jingles. Vanessa is anxious as they had tried to adopt earlier but the girl backed out. She comes as being uptight but when Juno & Leah see Vanessa playing with a kid in the mall, they understand that she (Vanessa) would make a great mother. When Juno finds out that Bleeker asked another girl out for the prom, she feels let down and is quite upset. However Bleeker points out that Juno was the one who pushed him in that direction.
Iconic & legendary actor Charlton Heston, who was famous for playing some larger than life characters on screen, has died at the age of 84 on the 5th. His wife Lydia was by his side on his death in their Beverly Hills home. Heston, who won the 1959 best actor Oscar as the chariot-racing “Ben-Hur”, portrayed Moses, Michelangelo, El Cid and Ben Hur among other heroic figures in movie epics of the ’50s and ’60s.
