No Hate

Old Business -

The season premiere of FX's always outstanding Rescue Me has inspired me to resurrect the blog. I'm even feeling a bit generous. Let's see here. I, the Drax, do hereby absolve Denis Leary of all of his past transgressions. The following sins are forgiven...

Demolition Man, The Ref, Operation Dumbo Drop, Two If By Sea, and those Quaker State commercials.

Go in peace my son.

New Business -

A year ago, I first heard about Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain and immediately decided to make it one of my patented obsessions. Think somewhere around the magnitude of 28 Days Later or Solaris. Mark my words, it will be the best movie of the year. Count on it.

You heard it here first.

Drax out.

P.S. I'm sure the hate will be back in full swing once I see X-Men: The Last Stand. Catch the elegance behind that subtitle. I mean this one must be just epic. Right? I believe it's a half-hour shorter than X2. Didn't want to waste your time on plot or characters. Just pack in the mindless, overindulgent mutant battles, corny one-liners, and cursory fanboy references, and I'm sure it'll come out alright. No one likes Cyclops anyway. But give me more Storm please. Her accent is fantastic. Hurry, give her more screen time before she threatens not to be in the movie altogether. That would be tragic. God, I'm angry.
