Well, hello there art (and cat?) lovers,<br />
<br />
It has been some time since I last wrote; if you scroll down you can see that
my last post was a review of <i>Man of Steel</i>, which I gave a generous 3 out
of 5 Molos. <br />
<br />
In any case, I felt I should have some sort of "Hello, I'm back"
introduction here before I started in on my real purpose (Dating Cats) for this
all of these words, but if I keep it up, we'll never get to the point (Dating
Cats). <br />
<br />
By now many of you are familiar with a certain dating website that starts with
an O and ends in -upid. This website has had a huge impact on my life; I
actually first met my girlfriend on there some 5+ years ago, and I'll always be
grateful for that connection! But in the process of meeting her, I got interested
in the way the website worked, and how the percentage matches happened, as well
as the ways in which people would sell themselves as good catches - especially
the photos they would post. I'm hardly the first person to observe or comment
on these things, but still, I wanted to do something with it...<br />
<br />
…and that something started to be things like this:<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
These drawings are based on profiles of women with whom the
website matched me, using complicated metrics and percentages. You see, after
scrolling through profile and profile, I often noticed these adorable/awkward
and sometimes downright disturbing pictures that women would post of themselves
posing with their pets. After a while it felt more like it was the cute
cat that wanted to date me, or the scruffy dog. <o:p></o:p></div>

Basically I found myself thinking way too much about all
these pets, and the interesting ways we use our pets to give our lives meaning

to find some happiness though the web.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="font-size: small;">You have probably already seen this movie if you are planning on seeing it at all, unless you are Trevor, who cancelled last minute, despite being a self-proclaimed super Superman fan. (sheesh) In any case, the reviews have been middling and this one isn't going to be any different. My lasting memory of watching this movie is that a hologram had more lines than any of the main characters. My friend said it was really heavy handed on the Christ-imagery, and I can't argue that point. Basically, the film is a mess, but an entertaining mess non-the-less. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here's the thing that really gets my goat with this movie - they did such a good job casting Zod with Michael Shannon, and they wrote a big part for Zod's cohort - the lieutenant, whatever her name was, but they really dropped the ball on the 3 guy in this trio of destruction - remember the 3 from Superman 2? There was Zod, the baddass chick, and the big growly guy...where is the big growly guy in this movie? Sure they was a masked big guy in one of the town fight scenes, clearly meant to be this character, but show his face, give us some of that comic action, give us some of this: </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">This brings me to my final point. Sure make new Superman all dark and serious if you want, but Superman is a fun story, it's a fun hero, the damn movie should have been more FUN. Batman is serious, he's all dark and effed up by his very nature, that plays well with dark movies, the Tim Burton ones and the Christopher Nolan films too.

<div style="text-align: left;">
This was the only SIFF film I saw this year. It was long, way too long, and weirdly paced. The first half, I enjoyed, almost like you are watching a cool travel expose show. Many beautiful locations...but overall, very heavy handed, messy, confusing - kind of half-assed David Lynchian at times. I think the whole thing just got confused as it was originally conceived as a 2 part film for TV. I can't recommend it, but it wasn't terrible either. Almost worth it for Rutger, but when he shows up 2.5 hours into the film, I just wanted it to be over. In English, mostly. <i> Dir Jan Kounen Starring a bunch of UK actors and folks you won't know, and a would-be chilling Rutger Hauer. 2012 </i></div>

Why? Oh the usual, writing, direction, editing...I don't know what really made it so...flat....maybe it's just that we've see this story before a zillion times. Crooked cops, gangsters, one guy standing up to the evil empire, a hot dame...it's just a tired period piece about a story we've all know. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ah, the old "book vs movie" debate. This film is one of the more challenging books-to-movies anyone could have attempted. Ambitions is not a big enough word. Do the Wachowski's and Tyker (yes 3 directors) pull it off? Not really. Do they make a different, interesting film? Sure. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">But what could have been....</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was mostly unsettled by 2 things with this film, okay...3 things. One - they really played up the whole shared/past lives thing in the movie, like really really really rubbed it in, including using the same actors - it was distracting and not in tone with the book, which had a more ambiguous and mysterious tone to it. Two - on a similar note - in the book there are the same 6 different stories, just like the movie, but the film jumps around between the stories constantly, while the book gives you a lot of time to sink into each one - thus allowing you to give a shit about the characters. The movie fails drastically at that. I don't get it, why do it that way? And my final complaint - I'm tired of seeing Agent Smith in movies other than the Matrix. He is so distinctive, sounds so distinctive, even in the picture above, you can see Agent Smith right there. I'm always expecting Neo to show up when I watch the Lord of the Rings and movies like this. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">But it's still a kind of fun ride, in a way. Messy, disjointed, long and confusing, but still kind of fun. Kind of. <i>Directed by Tom Tykwer, Andy and Lana Wachowski. Starting Tom Hankx x 6, Agent Smith x 6, Halle Berry x 6, Susan Sarandon x 6 and a bunch of other people x . 2012 </i></span></span></div>

<br />
Now showing: Star Trek <i>Into Darkness</i> in theaters and IMAX near you, in case you hadn't noticed....I caught it last night and I have to say, it was a hell of a lot of fun. This summer is starting off to be an excellent summer of escapism blockbusters, finally...finally these films seem to be living up to their hype. Either that or I'm just more easily entertained these days. Well that's a discussion for another day. <br />
<br />
If...and I mean <i>if</i>, I wanted to be an asshole and complain about this movie, I'd probably say that it is almost <i>too</i> relentless; it's basically non-stop from start to finish. There are quiet moments here and there for a laugh for for say something like this:<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
(click on this for a story on this gratuitous underwear shot)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(for a story on Molo's Sketchbook's usage of this gratuitious shot ...well...too bad)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But overall it's non stop from the get-go. Almost to the point of overwhelming the story...I still feel like I'm catching my breath a bit. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But damn, they did a great job - there's a lot of well done tie-in to Star Trek 2, done very cleverly and amusingly and with homage. The script is spot on, the casting continues to be very impressive - all of the previous cast returns and the addition of Robocop as a Star Fleet Admiral is nice (Peter Weller, to the uninformed). The directing, the acting, including the new villain...all done well. </div>

D<span style="font-size: small;">on't do that, this may well end up being the best popcorn movie of the summer. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Then again, maybe not, this year looks about 100x better for action flicks than last year. <span style="font-size: small;">Iron Man 3 was a great way to start. It's an enjoyable romp - dizzying<span style="font-size: small;">, fun, clever at times<span style="font-size: small;">. <span style="font-size: small;">The <span style="font-size: small;">vill<span style="font-size: small;">ains are strong<span style="font-size: small;">, which seems to be such a hard thing to do these day<span style="font-size: small;">s, I mean when has there been a decent villain lately? Loki? Please. <span style="font-size: small;">The vill<span style="font-size: small;">ains from the recent <span style="font-size: small;">Bond flicks? Meh....whatever happened to Hans Gruber? Well, Ben Kingsley does a good job of <span style="font-size: small;">it here<span style="font-size: small;"> - I don't want to give tooooooo much away, but <span style="font-size: small;">he's quite amusing in his role, and <span style="font-size: small;">Guy (cheekbones<span style="font-size: small;">) P<span style="font-size: small;">ea</span>rc<span style="font-size: small;">e is fairly <span style="font-size: small;">decent himself. Good vill<span style="font-size: small;">ains are so important for a good action flick<span style="font-size: small;">. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

I <span style="font-size: small;">think Guy stud<span style="font-size: small;">ied up on that flick for his in<span style="font-size: small;">itial scenes in IM3 <span style="font-size: small;">- I swear I was <span style="font-size: small;">looking at <span style="font-size: small;">Simon <span style="font-size: small;">Templar (had to look up that character name). Come to think of it, both movies feature a super<span style="font-size: small;">-attractive lady scientist with a<span style="font-size: small;">n amazing scienti<span style="font-size: small;">fic, volati<span style="font-size: small;">l<span style="font-size: small;">e, </span></span> breakthrough that is in danger </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>of falling into the wrong hands....this movie actually <span style="font-size: small;">owes a small debt to that fun late 90s flick...</span></i><br />
<br />
Any who, where was I...Guy P<span style="font-size: small;">ea</span>rce is such a strange actor, he's <span style="font-size: small;">occasiona<span style="font-size: small;">lly very excellent (M<span style="font-size: small;">emento<span style="font-size: small;">, </span></span></span></span>The Proposition - man that is such a good movie) but I<span style="font-size: small;"> can't get a b<span style="font-size: small;">ead on him.<span style="font-size: small;"> Is he<span style="font-size: small;"> going to be a good guy or a bad guy, or both, or just <span style="font-size: small;">a side <span style="font-size: small;">character actor? <span style="font-size: small;">No doubt that's why they cast him to this role...but I digress.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Back to the actual film - Ther<span style="font-size: small;">e's a lot going on all the time w/out all that much really going on - <span style="font-size: small;">Tony's deal<span style="font-size: small;">ing with post saving the world <span style="font-size: small;">anxiety, the U<span style="font-size: small;">S is under serious terro<span style="font-size: small;">rist bombing, <span style="font-size: small;">people are blowing up, they painted Don Cheadle's suit all '<span style="font-size: small;">Merican<span style="font-size: small;">...</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>. It's kind of overwhelming in it's action sequences<span style="font-size: small;">, but it<span style="font-size: small;"> is the good kind of <span style="font-size: small;">overwhelming<span style="font-size: small;">...although, I hones<span style="font-size: small;">tly<span style="font-size: small;"> found the 3D distracting. I'm don<span style="font-size: small;">e with 3D, I <span style="font-size: small;">don't like having to turn my head to see stuff on the side of the screen be in focus. <span style="font-size: small;">What's the point really<span style="font-size: small;">?</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> Moving on...<span style="font-size: small;">t</span>here's some fun dialog with a kid even thrown into this one. Th<span style="font-size: small;">e only bit that felt a bit forced is some of the <span style="font-size: small;">Pepper/Tony drama about him withdrawing into his wo<span style="font-size: small;">rk instead of looking to her for support/what n<span style="font-size: small;">ot</span>...<span style="font-size: small;">I mean it was fine and all, but you don't always h<span style="font-size: small;">ave to really lay on these <span style="font-size: small;">character lessons <span style="font-size: small;">so thick, do you<span style="font-size: small;">? Look I'm talkin<span style="font-size: small;">g around it a bit <span style="font-size: small;">so as to not spoil the film entirely, so go ahead and ignore this, and we can talk about it another time, dear rea<span style="font-size: small;">der. Point is they almost really really nailed it, and they did a vali<span style="font-size: small;">ant job, considering it's a <span style="font-size: small;">Hollywood action <span style="font-size: small;">summer blockbuster. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

Yes Ryan Gosling is essentially playing the same role as he did in Drive - just a little more hick and a little less...simpleton. Never-the-less this film is very interesting. It has an excellent, surprising structure, essentially 3 acts, following 3 very related story lines - I really thought the movie was going to end at least 3 different times, but I'm glad it didn't. I don't want to give too much away, so I'll just say that this is a movie that is reaching, the director is trying some tricky things here and while it doesn't all work, the attempt is very enjoyable. It's by Derek Cianfrance, same writer director as <i>Blue Valentine</i>, and is very much a film about guys and about fatherhood. Plus there is a dirt bike in it. <i>Dir/Writer Derek Cianfrance. Stars: Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes, Bradley Cooper (who is very good), and more. </i></div>

I'm giving this a healthy 3 Molos mainly because there is some wit, and some gore, but mostly because all the effects are done physically - there are zero digital effects, even the blood rain is actual blood rain. That is very rare these days, but the physicality of these sequences is all the more beautifully troubling for it.

I read this big New Yorker interview with the writer/director of this movie, Elgin James, who is all the rage in Hollywood these days- he's supposed to be an expert on adolescent youth, especially from a female standpoint because of his film, <i>Little Birds. </i>But the thing is, this is not a very good movie. Its full of cliche and it's boring and the best thing it has going for it is the location in the first half, the Salton Sea, which is very filmable. Elgin said that he originally wrote this script from a boy's point of view, and that it references a lot of his own personal street experiences....well maybe he should have stuck with keeping it a boy's movie. I mean sure we need more stories with interesting female characters, but this is not a good example. <i>Dir/wri Elgin James Starring Juno Temple, Kay Panabaker, Kate Bosworth</i></div>

Everyone, or maybe it was only one person, said I should see this for the visuals, and yeah, I suppose the visuals were good - I really enjoyed the "island" stuff - that was weird. But the tale, the morality, the "lesson"....again....meh. Entertainingly fluffy stuff.

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>Pretty much a rambling, poorly directed mess that misses the opportunity to really use Tom Hardy's charming hulk to good affect and wastes Gary Oldman, which is it's own crime. Tries to get Guy Pierce going as the evil hand of the law, but that falls flat as well.

The Molorazzi snuck in and out early tonight but caught some good work at Ghost Gallery, Blindfold, Joe Bar, and Vermillion. Mostly captured art works tonight, very little in the way of the peps...but well...here's a few pics! (as always, apologies to the artists for ugly snap shots and the like)<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">It's time for <span style="font-size: small;">in<span style="font-size: small;">stallment 2 of Molo<span style="font-size: small;">'s Film Quickies. Wherein I review and rate each and every film I saw that month, even if it was a repe<span style="font-size: small;">at viewing. Remember, the Molo scale <span style="font-size: small;">goes up to 5 Molos, but few movie<span style="font-size: small;">s ever attain<span style="font-size: small;"> such<span style="font-size: small;"> a status. It's kind of like Rollingstone<span style="font-size: small;">'s music reviews, <span style="font-size: small;">the rare 5-<span style="font-size: small;">Molo review <span style="font-size: small;">likely only comes after a 2nd viewing and ti<span style="font-size: small;">me to reflect, I me<span style="font-size: small;">an did anyone see a tru<span style="font-size: small;">ly great mov<span style="font-size: small;">ie in the last year? I <span style="font-size: small;">s<span style="font-size: small;">ure haven't. I'm not even sure I saw any 4<span style="font-size: small;">-Molo mov<span style="font-size: small;">ies in t<span style="font-size: small;">he last year, but <span style="font-size: small;">that's partly cause I didn<span style="font-size: small;">'t keep up<span style="font-size: small;">..then again, having just watched several of the Oscar <span style="font-size: small;">best film nominations, I'd say it was a pretty <span style="font-size: small;">weak year for film overall, especially mainstream</span></span></span>. Although, I<span style="font-size: small;">'d give <span style="font-size: small;">The Master 4 Molos, and <span style="font-size: small;">Django and Chain, so there were some decent fil<span style="font-size: small;">ms<span style="font-size: small;">....but I digress, and not in a very entertaining fashion. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Ah, the much heralded Argo. Talk of the Oscars. Ben Affleck robbed of a directorial nomination, but wins as producer of the Best Picture of the Year. Well, Argo was a pretty good, and interesting movie, very crisply done, but it wasn't the bee's knees. I did enjoy it though, I just wasn't blown away. Definitely worth a watch. Alan Arkin kicked ass. <i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">20<span style="font-size: small;">12</span>, dir Ben Affleck<span style="font-size: small;">, <span style="font-size: small;">S</span>tar<span style="font-size: small;">s Affleck, <span style="font-size: small;">Walter White, <span style="font-size: small;">Alan Arkin, John Goodman, the guy from Friday Night Lights and a bunch of other people. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i></div>

So rich guy goes for a limo ride across town to get a haircut despite various traffic snarls, rat protests, and threats to his life. In the process he sums up everything that is wrong with capitalism and vapid American culture as he slowly comes unhinged. He also loses hundreds of millions in the process. BLARG. I'm sure the Delillo book is much more witty, funny, satirical, etc, etc but this ends up just feeling like a poor 2010's version of American Psycho. No Huey Lewis and the News in this one, just stark blonds, fancy hair, and Juilette Binouche in compromising positions. I guess the point is that the future looks bleak for billionaire's playing with market metrics and such. Who cares? Cronenberg struck out on this one. <i>2012 dir Cronenberg Screenplay Cronenberg based on Don Delillo novel.

<br />
Wherein I post to you each and <i>every</i> film I watched (excluding porn) during the month in question. With comments shorter than Tom Cruise and stolen pictures if you are lucky. This column will include new films but sadly it will be mostly filled with whatever my queue has delivered me, or whatever movie some girl I'm dating dragged me to or random streaming finds. And yes, it will include each time I rewatch a film, after all, how we appreciate great films changes with time.<br />
<br />
And of course we will be using the Molo Scale (1 - 5 Molos, 5 being the best) to rate all these films - <br />
<br />
So let's get right to it<br />
<br />
Okay, not quite right to it...special note: This first post, comes before the end of the month, although I doubt I'll have time to watch anything before Thursday, and it includes January and February. Turns out I have yet to catch a movie in the theater this year. Go figure. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>3.5 Molos</b></span> COMEDY </div>
This kind of falls into the category of "whatever film the girl I'm dating dragged me to" in the sense that it was suggested by a girl I dated. Although I watched it after we were already done dating. Damn, I'm glad I did. Sean William Scott's best roll since <i>Southland Tales</i> (and if you aren't familiar with that movie, go out for a drink with me and I'll convince you to give it a chance). It's a simple, lovable comedy with a shitload of comedy and hockey violence. And yes, he plays a goon, the title given to hockey enforcers. It's kind of like <i>The Cutting Edge</i>, except more realistic, funnier, sweeter and far bloodier. Actually, it's nothing like that movie. Great supporting from the actress who played the drummer in <i>Scott Pilgrim</i> and Liev Schriber. <br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol</i></b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3 Molos</b> ACTION </div>
I saw this movie in the theater...I think...did I? This was a second viewing. I viewing that I started at 1:45 am, feeling awake, and a little depressed. It didn't help. But the dust storm was still pretty impressive, and the high-rise shenanigans still activated my vertigo, so it has that going for it. Okay, it's probably better than the middle 2 MI films. It does have that going for it. Decent escapism if you can stand Tom Cruises mug.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4 Molos</b> ART FILM </div>
I finally finally saw Melacholia. Jesus Christ Lars....the first 10 minutes or so of this movie, maybe a good 15, are simply put, some of the prettiest weird art/video shots I have ever seen on film. The kind of eerie shit that needs a black box gallery, not a theater. Has Lars von Trier overly arted the hell out of this film? I say no, and I also say I can't ever watch it again, not all the way through. (although I can definitely watch the scene of Kirstin Dunst laying naked in the doom planet light) This is not a hopeful film, but damn, it's a fucking beautiful depression.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Dredd</span></i></b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3.5 Molos</b> ACTION </div>
Ha, Dredd, what an unexpected fun ride. The dude playing Dredd never removes his helmet and it was only a discussion of who Karl Urban (not to be confused with Keith Urban) was made me discover he's the gravely voiced Dr Bones, from the recent Star Trek. In any case, this was definitely one of the best, most fun romps form 2012. Didn't have the camp of Stallone's version, but had some smart Arnold-style one-liners instead. Good job.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">The Bourne Legacy</span></b></i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">1.5</span> Molos</span></b> ACTION</div>
Maybe that's too many. This movie was boring, rambling, and incoherent. Half the screen time was spent talking about Jason Bourne, who doesn't not appear in the film. Seriously, not even a flashback scene...just a bunch of photos. Wasted effort all around. 2 Molos may be generous...yeah, I'm switching it to 1.5. I'm not sure why it's even that high.<br />

<b>2.5 Molos</b> COMEDY </div>
There was a lot of opportunity wasted for all kinds of real boundary pushing humor here, but instead you have a film that watered down Seth McFarline's (sp? who cares) humor. You can smell the handcuffs of Hollywood all over this feature. Oh the jokes about plushy culture that could have been.<br />

Today is the last day, I believe, to check out the High Fiber Diet show, however, there's also a very interesting show featuring artist whose work is about or uses currency. I was surprised by the level of craftsmanship in many of those works. Very lovely. Check that out. <br />
<br />
Brian's show can be seen by appt through March 2nd, and I believe there may be some open hours next Saturday (check with the gallery for that info). <br />
<br />
Here's some shots from both shows:<br />

<br />
No doubt you have heard of this little film, <i>Safety Not Guaranteed, </i>heralded for it's sweet charm and honest humor, and those are fair compliments. As always, I'm going to talk around the significant plot points - but the flick has to do with a reporter and 2 interns following up on an ad placed in craigslist asking for a partner to go back in time. What starts as a story about a potential quirk (and an excuse for the reporter to visit a lost flame) ends up being the story of lost souls finding each other in the present...OH SHOOT, I just basically gave the whole thing away - but that simple, obvious tale is not really why you should watch this movie. Watch it for Aubrey Plaza. She's my new actress crush, so good, so smart ass/deadpan. She's my favorite thing about Parks & Rec and in this movie, plays a similar dark, quippy character, but infused with a bit of vulnerability... <br />

Oh my.<br />
<br />
That, and Mark Duplass, overdoing it a bit as the would-be time traveler but still very likable. Over the last few months I have watched Mark<b> </b>in <i>The League, </i>which is a fantastic program, if you like fantasy football and raunchy humor and he's become one of my favorite 2d personalities. I never did see Lynn Shelton's Humpday, another locally made film (Safety Not Guaranteed starts off in Seattle and travels to "Ocean View" a stand in for Ocean Shores, and was filmed/produced locally, if I have my facts straight). Any who, he does a good job with the obvious material. <br />

Yes, yes, I'm back with a movie review! It has been sometime, hasn't it? Perhaps since Prometheus? Hell did I even bother with that one? I can't even remember, but I here we go- James effing Bond is back, the steely stare of D Craig in his tightly tailored suit kicking ass on the screen. This is the 50th anniversary since Dr. No's release and director Sam Mendes has definitely thrown in some classics nods to earlier bonds, the old Aston Martin (above) being a nice highlight, but you've got chase scenes which go through an open air market (classic, and kind of boring here), disfigured evil bad guy, falling into a pit with dangerous animals (Trevor and Jared really appreciated that one), a sexy exotic lady of course, some sadistic killing by bad guy, and some nods of out with the new and in with the old (to go into, I shall not, I don't want to actually give away plot points) but where is the fun?<br />
<br />
That's the thing, I realized, with this one, and all the new bonds...they nailed the bad-ass-ness of Bond, but are way low on the fun factor. And I don't mean just cool fights and explosions and such - but new bond is so gritty and so determined, he never seems to be having a good time. There's a promise of more work at the end of Skyfall, of getting back to the job, and Bond is all ready to go, but if it's going to be just grey stark emotionless, serious stuff, do we need to even bother?<br />
<br />
It's refreshing when we finally meet Javier Barden - <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gybqq2vwVtk/UKFbUPWCxaI/AAAAAAAAXg8/glwVPnWMS04/s1600/javier-bardem-in-skyfall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="178" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gybqq2vwVtk/UKFbUPWCxaI/AAAAAAAAXg8/glwVPnWMS04/s320/javier-bardem-in-skyfall.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
because despite the cliche classic evil bond character references, he's having fun with this material finally here's something light and airy in a dreary Bond world - too bad he doesn't appear until like 50 minutes in the film.. (also, his evil power is he is a super-hacker? REALLY? That's the best we got these days? I get that it is kind of plausible, sure, but it isn't really that plausible, I'd rather have giant lazers or exploding the sun or something more crazy) <br />
<br />
I don't know, maybe it's just that it is fall and cold out and I have post-art show depression, but this bond was kind of a drag.<br />
<br />
Still, it was better than Quantum of Solace, that's for sure. And I was at least entertained. <br />

Lots of interesting things will be happening from now thru Saturday so I would highly suggest checking out the calendar <a href="http://www.cityartsfest.com/">online here</a> and going to see it all! Tonight was the free preview day, I didn't catch any performances, but I did get a chance to check out some of the installation works that will be up throughout the coming days.<br />

Cap Hill art walk 2012Tonight I went to The Pine Box to check out <b>Vanessa Lang's </b>work, Cairo to see <b>Shaun Kardinal's </b>work, Ghost Gallery For <b>Jess Rees</b> and Vermillion for <b>Robin Crookall </b>and <b>Michael Alm</b> - and caught some of the <b>OCnotes</b> set. What a fantastic art walk, very epic and a nice distracting way to spend the evening before the very stressful (for me, but you all should come and have fun) day/night at the Frye tomorrow, as we have the reception for the Mw show. Also, please, if you see me tomorrow night, forgive the dazed look on my face, and don't even try to talk to me. I'll be..distracted, to say the least. <br />

Here's some pics:<br />

<br />
I made this piece the <a href="http://www.kirklandartscenter.org/?q=content/redux-0">Kirkland Arts Center</a> Studio Challenge - the theme
was Art Deco. I simply used some art deco patterns I found to inform
the shapes and structure of the landscape. You can see the work at the
event Redux, on October 27. <br />

Well, I have - lots of new work, especially in the "<a href="http://ryanmolenkamp.com/index.php?section=drawings&p=volcano-apocalypse">drawing</a>" section and the brand new "<a href="http://ryanmolenkamp.com/index.php?section=megrim&p=megrim">megrim</a>" section. <br />
<br />
Plus, a couple new pieces in the "<a href="http://ryanmolenkamp.com/index.php?section=place&p=102-place">place</a>" section as well - pictured below:<br />

<br />
<br />I finished this recent addition to my <i>place</i> series and sent it off to Greg Lundgren to install at<a href="http://www.hideoutseattle.com/walls.htm"> The Hideout </a>(my other work there sold - I always like having at least one piece up at the Hideout - if you don't know Greg curates a ton of local artists on the walls of this art bar, and they make a fine martini too) I wrote some time ago in these pages about giving up on my <i>place </i>series, focusing on new work, more representational and having the abstract work go in other directions....<br />
<br />
....well, I am doing those things, for certain, however, I've also come back around to playing with some of these older ideas. I'm not entirely sure why, in part, I just have more images in this series to explore...in other ways, it has more to do with the process and with my migraine symptoms. In all honestly, it is a bit easier to go with what I know while I struggle with these recent health concerns. Working on paintings like this one, can be more relaxing as I have a stronger sense of what I can do with it, what I will do...it's not as much of a struggle and fight on the panel, it's more of a groove, I can lose myself easier, with out the headache(s). <br />
<br />
And hell, I'm still enjoying them. <br />
