Islam Ate my Balls

I mean, how childish & immature can they get !?

You flush a Coran down the toilet : riots, deaths, indignation.

You publish a cartoon of Hamas : riots, walking on the Danish flag (!?), deaths, indignation. Some integrist groups even called for their followers to "catch some Danish people and cut them into pieces". Wow, that is a great way to improve your image, folks. Dunno which marketing firm you've hired for that but you should definitly fire them.

I remember those poor bastards in 2001, cheering live on CNN when the planes hit the WTC. They keep on electing maniacs to be head of their "governments". I know some issues are deeper than others, but I mean... what the fuck ?

Is this what progress is about ? Brotherly love ? Global understanding ?

I don't think we're heading for a very bright future with these dudes.

I finally ended up missing Omnikrom's launch on Saturday and stayed home instead, taking a much appreciated siesta & watching MIDNIGHT COWBOY with Miss Bijoux. Despite being made in 1969, this Paul Schlesinger gem didn't age a bit. The 18 years & over rating might be surprising to nowadays audiences, and even more surprising is the fact that the movie won the Oscar that year for... movie of the year !

It's this powerful. Clever editing, surreal sequences, fine acting (Voigt & Hoffman, as unlikely a couple as they might be, really develop a great chemistry) and a psychedelic party you won't soon forget.

It was shot during an era where moviemakers still used a "theme song" until our ears bled, ad nauseam style. But still, you can't help liking the movie & its characters. I guess that's one of the reasons why it became, over the years, a classic...
