Stuff That Rocks

Hey! You know what rocks? I'll tell ya what rocks!

Fight Club rocks. This is my new must-see movie of the year. American Beauty can take a hike. A very, very small hike, probably just to the end of the driveway to get the mail, but a hike none the less. Fight Club is absolutely, inexplicably amazing. I say inexplicably because in order to explain why it rocks so hard-core, I would give away the surprise that in the foundation of it's rocking. I can say this: Edward Norton and Brad Pitt both turn in spectacular performances, with Pitt returning to a 12 Monkeys like character, demented and driven, although less comically insane. Norton captures the depression and apathy of a corporate drone with a void in his life quite nicely, with the monotone buzzword-speak and the tired eyes. Helena Bonham-Carter departs from her art-film world to play a strung-out junkie-bitch, but the character is very one-dimensional. The fault in that is the story, not her performance, though. She holds her own against Norton.

Fight Club will make you laugh and think. At the end, you'll be almost desperate to see it again. Check it out.

You know what else rocks?

Scroll mice rock. I just got a Logitech Mouse+, a nice, two-button mouse with a wheel. Simple, lovely, the mouse of my dreams. I'm very happy. =)

Catcha later, homies.
