Who's that knocking at my door  Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later: some genius tried to break into my car while I was sleeping. Since my laptops and Pelican were hidden, I can only assume he was looking to snatch my compact Oxford English Dictionary or my commemorative edition Feynman Lectures or my four-DVD collection of Godard's Histoire(s) du Cinéma, so at least he had taste. But then after smashing my window he lost all points when I threw back my urban camouflage and asked, "can I help you?". Instead of some witty repartee before pulling out a Glock and icing me, he just looked dumbfounded and then wobbled back to his shitty bike and executed the worst, huffing-and-puffingest getaway since Larry from L.A. in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. That's right, wheezy -- it burns a few more calories than GTA, doesn't it? -- Posted 8:43:00 AM by Paul Hrissikopoulos Wednesday, May 07, 2008

 Doc pulled the pin out of my toe today, but the adventure officially ends on Friday when the hole is closed up and I can finally wash my manky-ass foot. Though I can't help but notice that foot-and-leg injuries are really in right now -- crutches, canes and post-op shoes abound at every turn. Kind of like how not turning in your Texas tags was all the rage a year or two ago. -- Posted 1:58:00 PM by Paul Hrissikopoulos Just a limbering exercise in preparation for Berlin Alexanderplatz  Thus concludes Joe Dante's two weeks of New Beverly programming -- and it almost was an orgy, what with the Stockholm Syndrome and all. Leaving Dante's Inferno behind we proceed on to El Diablo Cody's realm in July. -- Posted 12:42:00 AM by Paul Hrissikopoulos Monday, April 21, 2008

Thankfully the camera was off by the time I got my hands on the Kahlúa Luke Y. Thompson's stunning shockumentary video of Cathy Seipp's Jahrzeit/memorial BBQ is up. I'm the one who's not funny. And if you happen to be in civ, don't miss the premiere of Mr. T's new movie at the Egyptian on the 26th. -- Posted 11:37:00 PM by Paul Hrissikopoulos Dante's Inferno: 4 circles to go  Actually, I just showed up for the Joe Dante/Vilmos Zsigmond Q&A and the Larry Cohen intro (with "spontaneous" questions by audience member/confederate John Landis) and snuck out to my car during the movies themselves to catch up on some work-work. The New Beverly is a fascinating and oft-surreal institution, Angelenos. Enjoy it while it lasts. -- Posted 1:24:00 AM by Paul Hrissikopoulos Monday, April 14, 2008

 My car was in the shop, so I spent the night in the back of a rented Hyundai Sonata. Pretty comfy for a sedan, though the combination of pain meds and all the 1-year webmembrances of Cathy Seipp resulted in a strange quasi-erotic dream involving Cathy, a black '67 Cadillac, four loud sociopaths in tuxedos and a miniature golf course. It ended on a curiously poignant note that's been haunting me all day, but I guess that's between me and the great Wheel of Consciousness. Memory is a funny thing. It is the ultimate source of Humanity's godlike powers but it was purchased at a most terrible price: we must forever walk through a world filled with ghosts. -- Posted 11:59:00 PM by Paul Hrissikopoulos Sunday, March 30, 2008
I hear some guy named "JOHN" has the all-time high score on this game over at the Patmos Chuck E. Cheese.

Judgment at Nuremberg has long been my "official" favorite movie, so for me losing Richard Widmark and Abby Mann fa and sol is one big fucking bummer. Don't walk into the light, Shatner!
In other news I've been hellaciously busy this week with work and my other work, but hopefully after this weekend I'll be back on track and all sociable-like. -- Posted 7:32:00 PM by Paul Hrissikopoulos Sunday, March 23, 2008

 Pictured is the high-tech way the 17th-best hospital in the U.S. makes sure they don't cut off the wrong limb. I've decided to do the Christian Science thing and forgo my pain meds because I've been watching a lot of old westerns lately and have come to the conclusion that Vicodin, to borrow from Michelangelo, is for "women and the lazy". I'm sitting in Starbucks on Sunset and St. Andrews biting my bullet as the local wears off -- biding my time until my friend and gracious host for the evening gets off work so she can pick me up and ensconce me in her guest room. Yes, it feels pretty much like you'd expect a sliver of metal jammed lengthwise into your toe to feel. It may be time to start looking for that piece of gnarled wood and shot of whiskey. -- Posted 4:41:00 PM by Paul Hrissikopoulos Monday, March 17, 2008
 Back in town after yet another pointless surprise subplot in which my Dad has a stroke and I have to fly to Texas to play a supporting role in the ensuing melodrama. Who writes this crap, anyway? In other news, after six (or is it seven?) weeks of limping around on my broken toe, I'm finally getting a pin in it tomorrow. Good thing, too -- I was about to go to Canada for the speedier medical treatment. -- Posted 10:15:00 AM by Paul Hrissikopoulos Sunday, March 09, 2008
In celebration of the news that legions of insatiable French succubi are preying upon the world's men in conjunction with the recent video release of 2 Days in Paris, I offer up for the appreciation of 2DiP connoisseurs all 271 unique frames of the 21-second Venice flashback sequence. Enjoy it before the cease-and-desist letter arrives.                                                                                   |
