Drew better start listening to Floyd.
Whenever I think of The Wizard of Oz, I hear the Dark Side of the Moon. If you’ve never tried the whole sync thing, do it. I believe that it works. You can do it twice with the Dark Side of the Moon and the Wizard of Oz.
It is my opinion that this also works with the vinyl version of the Fragile and Taxi Driver. Trent Reznor mentioned in his 9-9-99 interview about the Fragile that he had been watching Taxi Driver a lot. I tried syncing both the vinyl and cd versions of the album (which are different) and only the vinyl version works out right. The movie and the album are exactly the same length. You just have to allow the appropriate amount of time to flip the album. This doesn’t have as many similarities as the Pink Floyd stuff, but the mood and the feel matches well.

I worked on the documentary on Sunday and Monday, then took time out on Tuesday to watch movies. I finally watched 15 Minutes. I had heard that it was bad, but I enjoyed it. I also watched Platoon Leader, which I only enjoyed because of my interest in the Vietnam war. It is basically a low budget answer to Platoon.
I forgot to mention last week that I went to see The Rules of Attraction. I found the style interesting, but wouldn’t watch it again. Except maybe for the montage, which was a fast and cool account of some dudes trip to Europe. Patti hated this movie.

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE CENSOR BEHIND THE CURTAIN

Although the comic is steaming hot and ready to go, today’s blog is going to be a little delayed.
Jared and I went to see A Perfect Circle in concert last night and it was a great show. Preparing to be out of the house most of the evening, I prepared the comic in advance and figured that I could just pound out the blog when I got home.
What I didn’t count on was the first big snowstorm of the year. When we walked into the venue, it was sleeting only a little. When we walked out, it was a full-blown blizzard with a few inches of snow already on the ground. It turned an otherwise brisk, one hour ride home into a tension filled 40mph slog that more than doubled our commute. By the time I got home, I was shot. Imagine my glee when I had to do it all over again in the morning just to get to work. My regular 20 minute took almost an hour and a half.
So, anyway. That’s why the blog will be late. Plus, I have some stern words for MPAA Chairman Jack Valenti to go along with this comic and I want to be sure my little “essay” is firing on all cylinders when I unload it.
