Shoot 'Em Up is a great satire! I love the director, he did 100 Girls which is in my Top 5 favorite movies ever.

Whoa, the same guy who did 100 Girls did Shoot 'Em Up?

Books:

The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon
The Long Fall by Walter Mosley
Love and Obstacles: Stories by Aleksandar Hemon

Went to the bookstore with my sister yesterday, on the off chance we did get a massive snowstorm the next few days so we'd have something to read. I had 2 issues of my X-Force run left and no books here since all my stuff's in storage. Went looking for some Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett but they had very little, and I want to find collected works for them. Got the Chabon book after reading Kavalier and Clay, and the other 2 were in a big $4 bin. Mosley's novel is the first in a series about a retired Policemen turned PI, and Hemon's just sounded intriguing, and so far has been. I started it last night as it's the shortest of the 3 once I knew school was canceled and it's been rather good. Just about 25 pages away from finishing it now.

Wristcutters was pretty funny, I was glad I got to see it a year or so ago.

Songs for the Deaf is AMAZING. Let me know what you think of it.

MGM · Post by **MGM** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 1:45 pm

Amazing covers it pretty much. I already knew the album, I'm looking into their other stuff, but somehow I don't get the idea that their other albums are as good as this one. There's a new one due pretty soon, though.

Also, with Temple of the Dog I now only need Mother Love Bone and Core from the Stone Temple Pilots to have the definitive grunge collection.

As far as Queens of the Stone Age go, I have the two they did right after Songs for the Deaf. Lullabies to Paralyze was ok, though I didn't enjoy it very much. Era Vulgaris was a lot more like SftD and I found myself enjoying that one a lot more than Lullabies. But to each their own.

I still haven't tracked down a copy of Rated R though, as when I do it's always over $20, or even up to $30.

Rated R is on Amazon for pretty cheap, check out the used sellers.

MGM · Post by **MGM** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 2:56 pm

Play.com has it for €5. Not sure what the shipping to the US is, though. If it's a lot, I could let it be shipped to Holland (for free) and mail it to you. No clue what that would cost either, though.

I haven't looked for it online in awhile. I generally try not to look up music, because then I'll blast through my account in seconds haha. But I'll look into it all and let you guys know. I haven't listened to them in awhile, but when something from Songs for the Deaf comes on, I never skip it.

MGM · Post by **MGM** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 3:07 pm

I hear you. Lately for me it's been reading a lot of reviews and then grabbing some new stuff and older stuff in stores. I prefer that, although online is much cheaper. Some cd's I buy online, because I refuse to pay more than $20 for a cd.

Tragic Angelus · Post by **Tragic Angelus** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 3:14 pm

The last CD I bought, which was the first in a long while, was Mumford and Sons. I haven't listened to much else since then, and that was the day after Christmas.

MGM · Post by **MGM** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 1:02 am

I downloaded that one a bit ago, haven't really listened to it yet, though.

I don't know why but recently I've been obsessed with looking at trading cards on eBay. The fact that you get specific rare items in each case made me really want to buy some. I've been looking each day for the last week, exploring different options. Should I get some X-Men? Batman? X-Files? I was even tempted to start getting random packs at my retailers even though he had them for full price (luckily I couldn't bring myself to doing that).

Tonight I finally settled on getting sealed boxes of:
Lost Season 2
Veronica Mars Season 1 & 2

Each has a specialty signature card as well as what's called "pieceworks" which is a segment of clothe that the actors'/actresses' were wearing. Plus some other rare stuff, but those 2 are the main ones I'm eager for. I have specific ones from each box that I'm hoping to get, but I'm just more happy about finally settling my "craving" for a sealed box. This usually hits me every 5 years or so. Last time it was 2 boxes of Marvel Universe v2, I think I still have 1 sealed box somewhere. Had some really sweet hologram cards in it.
