Whats up yall... Im sitting here @ my kitchen table and my fingers hurt.. (yes the laptop is back in full effect.. no thanks to Delta) I've been working all day long on some mashups for some live stuff etc... (long story.. I'll explain later) I came back from the last revolve tour date this weekend... it's kind of sad that that part of my life is over for now (it felt like the end of camp... lol). It was a great weekend filled w/ driving, flying, etc. followed by more driving and then flying.. I had the most incredible cup of coffee on Thursday night @ a place called the Flying Gato in Athens TX. they had a cup called "the Keith Richards" it was 16 shots of espresso.. NO I DIDNT GET IT ... EVEN I KNOW MY LIMITS. But it's amazing that some spot i would never think would be so good.... was sooooo gooood. Thats not really the point it's just that NEVER COUNT ANYTHING OUT.. you never know whats gonna be good etc.. Anyways I had the distinct pleasure of watching an action/adventure movie on the flight home and it dawned on me the following rules are always in effect:
kj's 5 rules to all action/adventure movies: 1. The more the bullets the less likely they will hit the hero This goes w/out saying ... if you are the hero all bullets can't hit you ... JUST GRAZE YOU. You can be standing point blank w/ the hero and shoot at him and the bullets will go sideways. 2. All hero's have a scrappy sidekick Generally the sidekick is a smaller, scrappier, wisecracking person... it's guarunteed he will get himself in trouble and the action hero will have to rescue him time and time again. This "rescuing" will always be followed up by witty banter between the two. 3. Most movies will end with the hero next to an ambulance There is always that scene of the post-"I killed the bad guy-but I'm really beat up-we saved the day-someone stuck a blanket on my shoulders" shot. This is always followed up w/ some sort of back and forth dialogue w/ the heroine/scrappy sidekick.... finishing w/ a zoom out of people running around/smoke rising/cops/army etc... 4. The hero will get beat up but never mess his hair up Hair is untouchable in all action/adventure flicks... you can however take punches to the face/body/side however these will never make a dent in your hair. 5. There will be a sequel Cmon! We all know the bad guy can be brought back for version 2,3,4,5 etc... and we all know that when it's over it's never OVER. currently reading: John 14 -ya boy tweez.
