just finished hoop dreams. fantastic documentary, though long. i think i watched it over 4 separate movie-watching sessions.

watched waiting which was hilarious. a cross between road trip, eurotrip, and grandma's boy. i'm surprised i'd never heard of it before.

saw he got game for the second time. hoop dreams is pretty much the real-life story of jesus shuttlesworth, just without the basketball magically traveling from a prison yard to a basketball court.

tried to watch pi but couldn't deal with the sound.

chasing amy and the interpreter are next...

"I don't remember what else happened that day. I can tell you what I had the weekend before that I'm still obsessed with. I had a gig in St. Louis. Nice people, St. Louis, but I've never seen an entire city fuck up a pizza so bad. I get a ride from the airport to the hotel. We pass by an Imo's pizza, which is a large chain there, and the guy starts getting a boner for this pizza place. So I go 'Hey, how's this place,' and he goes 'awwww, dude, that place is the best in the city, you gotta go there. It's an institution.' They make it St. Louis style. When I looked at it, I thought I was on some kind of hidden-camera prank show. The cheese they use, Provel, is part provolone cheese product, part Swiss cheese product, and part white Cheddar product. When it melts, it's just kind of a gluey consistency, and when it dries it's just kind of plastic. It stinks - like, literally, it smells bad. The dough, they probably fucked it up as bad, or worse, than the cheese. They make their pizza with no yeast, so I would like to say it's like a cracker or a round matzoh, but it's like a really shitty stale cracker. And then they have barely any sauce on it and it seemed like it came out of a can 50 years ago. I've never seen a place miss all three elements of the pizza."

"Basketball is like poetry in motion, cross the guy to the left, take him back to the right. He's fallin' back, then just J right in his face. Then you look at him and say, 'What?'"

We have some silly weed questions, if that's okay.

Method Man: You ain't gonna get me to talk about no weed. I ain't got nothing to say about no weed. I'm an active member of my community; I'll do it on records cause half the teachers and coaches don't listen to records anyways. But they do read interviews. You wanna answer weed questions?
Redman: What's it about? I can't be answering too much shit, I gotta go to court. I forgot. For real, that shit is real talk. I gotta go to court for some bullshit. I'll answer some.

In the ten years since Blackout!, what have you learned about dealing with labels?

Redman: You know what? I tell you what. I'm my own label. I know Def Jam is the machine that turns it and gets it out, but man, nowadays, it's about you being your own label and selling yourself. You can't wait for no label to promote you and shit, man. Especially when some labels ain't doing they job, man. [To himself] What kind of spring rolls is this?

"Five dollar footlong is one of the best songs, that's a hot song. You've got the freecreditreport.com, and then five dollar footlong comes on. When five dollar footlong comes on, they should play that in the club. They should play all those in the club."

woah.

this was described on digg as "the most trippy and hypnotic thing you will see today."

carved from a stack of dollar bills.

"And when they approach the heroin-smuggling plane, Locke has more aggressive demands: In three minutes a man will walk out of the jungle, so Richard should remove his bullet, then tell him 'to bring everybody back to the Island and that he's going to have to die' - in other words, Locke tells Richard to tell Locke to behave so that he will later tell Richard to tell Locke to behave this way, and so on. Oy."

"What makes a person unique? What is essential to a personality and what makes two personalities different? How does a person persist through time? How much change can a person survive? Under what conditions do we have the same person and under what conditions are you the same person from the past?"

i just can't get enough of anything making fun of swine flu.

Experimenter: Adam, which is right, "two shoes" or "two shoe"?
