Stuff (1993 TV Short)

This is compulsory viewing

[7/10 · 7 June 2009]

To have withdrawn, not only from the music and entertainment industry but from society altogether, in such an all-encompassing manner in which John Frusciante did in the five years up to 1997 and to have survived and re-emerged as the guitarist in one of the biggest rock bands in the world is something of a minor miracle.

Those are bottles of human waste sporadically abandoned around the once grandiose mansion and Frusciante is the skeletal figure barely conscious on the threadbare settee.

Watch and be thankful every time you see Frusciante on stage and full of life.

Scarred (2005 Video)

Oh my God, this flick was poor

[1/10 · 17 September 2006]

You browse the shelves for a good Saturday night in. You've decided to rent just the one movie because you don't have the time to watch two. It's got to be a good one. You're looking for some frights. Well, if this is the scenario you find yourself in of a weekend, then do not under any circumstances rent or buy this move. It is abysmal.

Even the basics like sound engineering is rancid. When the Park Ranger is in his cabin. You can hear mic echo and straggling sound that can only be brought on by utterly shocking engineering. Some scenes are literally repeated like a cheap porno so you actually see the chick in the white top gleefully strolling through the same part of the woods twice or the Park Ranger driving through the same part of the woods three times. And when he is driving and the camera is situated on the front of the bike, it looks like a bit of home movie shot on a mobile at best! These things bug me. Even if a movie has a low budget and is independent, the small details should be thoroughly checked. If the movie was any good you might let it off. But this sadly is not.

A family get-together in the woods. An urban myth told around the camp-fire. The lady with no face starts to kill them one by one. Then when you think she's dead, she really isn't. Again, and again, and again. The only cliché they left out was the classic topless young bimbo scenes but even these wouldn't have saved this rotten film.

If you are going out with someone who you want to get rid of then arrange a night in with the movie. He/She will run a mile!
