#2 - Raven: The Pack Is Back

A warning to all you former football jocks who got off on stuffing dweebs in lockers: They're all grown up, they're coming for you, and they're completely deranged. We've seen homeless nuts who look more coherent than Raven. The two on the left and right are so far gone they put their Fruit Of The Loom and banana hammock undies on over their tights. And center stage we have Space Admiral Barney. We're betting the pack were shortly back in a locked ward.

BAUHAUS !!!!

an amazing exhibition of Bauhaus masters at MOMA !!! wow, i won't give you the history lesson on it (go to wikipedia for that!) but the genius of the faculty and students from this important period of art history still dazzles!
one of my favorite exhibitions at moma in years.

GO !!!!

movie questions

what does boston, judd nelson, italian mobsters, irish tuff guys, and EVAN EDER (my brother) have in common?

answer:

The Boondock Saints ll : All Saints Day !!!

yes, my kid brother has finally gotten himself into something there's no escape from. he successfully weaseled his way into this storied cult classic franchise by scoring 3 songs in this epic B movie !!!! and that music is gracing several scenes including the final all out shootout sequence.

so, see this !@%%**@#$^ fun movie.

kid bro evan, might actually make a penny from it someday.

we'll see!!!!

i liked it. reality suspended. music vid style not withstanding...a very good cast tho.

brazilian jiu jitsu

at the end of the summer i enrolled at Alliance Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. today i finished my 6th class !!!! WOW, i'm sore!!! great thing about it is the class is sooooo tuff, i HAVE to work on my cardio and other aspects of my fitness in order to keep up. also in the hopes of increasing my # of classes per week. right now best i can do is 2 classes a week. in between i keep up my normal workouts for upper body ... but most of all i really need to improve my core strength...so lots of ab work, etc. i've thrown in some jogging (which i hate!!!!) but it's really helping my leg strength and cardio fitness.

this is the hardest atheletic thing i've ever attempted in my life. my knee hurts, my lower back is sore, oy i ache!!! but i'm hanging in there.

harvey KURTZMAN book signing

Thursday nite, i went to the Museum of Cartoon & Comic art (MOCCA) in downtown Manhattan to listen to Denis Kitchen speak about the recently published book The Art of Harvey Kurtzman: The Mad Genius of Comics. Mostly Denis, and one of Harvey's children just spoke about the great creator and the people influenced by his art. His history and career ups and downs. etc.

The book is gorgeous...so go out and buy it (published by Abrams ComicArts).

the following morning Denis came by for a cuppa joe. I wish we had more time. but there are some interesting plans in the mix (wink wink!).

cheers!

you guys know i'm a fight fan...

and that i watch most of the mma events on tv. heck i'm even making an attempt to learn brazilian jiu jitsu (2 classes so far...and man am i SORE!!!!). i've been a big fight fan for years. took judo when i was a kid, took karate in college, and now bjj, and always a fan of watching the related sports from olympic wrestling to pro boxing to mma!
and i'm a kung fu movie fan (and know way too much about that genre) going back MANY years to the days of going to 42nd st to watch triple feature flix in the early 80's. way before the transformed times square of nowadays.

so fast forward to today. listening to howard stern (at work at the gallery), yeah i do that. and Rodney King (yes...of police brutality fame) is being interviewed about his upcoming fight (yes...he's spent all the settlement money) this sept. 11th, and the guy he's fighting Simon "the renegade" Aouad is there being interviewed too. ok, this is funny enuff, all the postering about who's gonna kick who's ass, how big each guy is, and lotsa huffin and puffin about breakin bones, yadda yadda yadda....and then the greatest nugget of hilarity is revealed...and that is if you want to know how bad ass simon is....just watch his workout video on youtube.
OMG this is the funniest thing i've seen since, tropic thunder. i mean BIG CHEERS to the guys who produced this and MORE power to simon for demonstrating how tuff he is.
