OK Time for my bitch session

I live in the boonies

by boonies I mean I live in Northern WI. Sure there are people around here but the most "culture" we get around here is Karaoke night at the local bar

Foreign films around here means a Jackie Chan flick

need I go on?

I do not think so

Angela and I, of course, have a this desperate desire to go see the two Indie films that Rob made before Twilight.

Myself I would like to see him act (sorry to fans of Twilight that, my dears, was not much acting. That was him dressed up like a pretty boy and parading around I blame the director and the writers) and ...well I wanna see some booty.

His two movies that are coming out Rob fans know are

Little Ashes and How to Be

I LOVE the concept of How to Be. I was thrilled to see everything I could about it. I really want to take my teenage sons to see it because it sounds marvelous. A strange kid trying to find himself fantastic thing for my strange boys to see.

AND Little Ashes ...come on who would not want to see the movie he thought was going to be his last movie before hitting super stardom? (run on much you bet your sweet hiney I do) THAT movie took some serious balls to make! gay love, scenes, nudity

fabulous

Angela and I love a GOOD movie and we both agree aside from the extreme eye candy Twilight was not a GOOD movie (I am picky about acting. I will try to find my favorite scene where it actually looked like someone understood emotion and post it do not fear it is very short like I said I AM PICKY)

To satisfy our ..urges we will have to make due with Indie Films. no problem! We like our new found obsession.

SO to the Internet I went. Angela being the generous soul she is would drive my sorry road raging backside to civilization for us to see one of these films

I checked

in order to go see Little Ashes she and I would have to drive to CHICAGO for a grand total of 312 miles one way ..roughly ...

WTF ??

Rob, babe, we love you honey, but unless you are gonna sit your sweet ass between us and share a popcorn I am NOT driving to Chicago to watch a movie.(what if I were to hate the movie? what if I love the movie? I would never want to leave and I would want to see it again and again...) That is a little too far... Yes we will drive to California to sit our backsides in a bar to heckle strangers just to say we did it in the hopes of seeing you but we both know that trip is more about the journey than the destination ..

I am PISSED

NO WHERE in my fair state of Wisconsin is this movie playing NO WHERE

I feel like such a damn hick

I grew up in Milwaukee (granted not a huge city but we considered it Chicago North) it has it's mid western charm it's own symphony, art museum ,Repertoire theater company and plenty of traveling shows, comedy clubs, and movie theaters LOTS OF THEM my Father made sure I was immersed in culture he thought it would make me more well rounded person and less boy crazy ..silly man.

I moved not to get away from what I always loved, but to get away from what I always hated Traffic, noise, crime, and ..well people (like I said I have serious road rage issues which is why I can not drive in traffic I get too nervous and angry. At least I know and accept my limits)

and now here I sit in Bumbleclucknorth and the closest thing to culture I get is the Internet

sad truly

of course we all know the real reason I wanna see Little Ashes

......I will give you two guesses .....

and it has very little to do with artsy acting

and more to do with ....umm bone structure

  1. Holy Shit!!! The bars around here have Karaoke??? That I didn't know. Wow, we have more culture here than I even thought.

    But really, Sue are you so surprised? I mean when I moved here, after living so many palces myself (hell, I was born in Germany!) I found that 99.9999999% of the people who live here have never been out of the state. (Some have been more than 50 miles of the hospital in which they were born! yeah hickville here)

    People...Wisconsin is NOT the entire world sorry to bust your bubble.

    Sue you are absolutely right. It really sucks that we cannot get to see any of the films that we want. I WANT TO SEE ROB'S...UHMMM...BONE STRUCTURE!!!

    I hope I can hold out until it is available on DVD.

  2. It's the same her. And the sad thing is I live about 15 minutes from the 3rd most populous city in this state. We actually have some (SOME) culture here. As far as I know, it Little Ashes isn't showing but I am not for sure. I am going to call the one theater that, was only recently opened, and see if they are getting it. **le sigh**

  3. Hells yes there is Karaoke once a week at the bar in that small town where they torment our children daily (the place they go to learn about the "world")

    As far as hickville goes remember that story I have told many times when I gave my one of bookworms a book to read while he was bored during baseball practice the local yocal said

    "I have only read 3 books in my entire life and look at the man I turned out to be "

    I said

    "SON KEEP READING YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!"
