Noblesse Oblige the Departed

On my way to work i listened to the whole new noblesse oblige album "Privilege Entails Responsibility"... i had to, they had a perfect start from the commercial point of view. They are the burgeois rich kid style, semi-cult to cult, doing drugs during the day, then trying to understand the night, hating the petty common people, driving their rav4 on all 6 lanes of the champs elysees, the lolita pille "hell"stupid cunt style, so to sum up, everything i like, everything i wanna be...

All they had to do was come up with a decent album and they would've rise up quickly in my likings. They failed miserably, but still, their image is so perfect i will wait for their emancipation.

On the other hand, "The Departed" is such a 8.75 movie on my 1 to 10 scale. And let me tell you, it's been a while since a movie ranked so high for me. Martin Scorsese never really shook my movie cords, maybe except the aviator and raging bull. I still have a small disappointement that the movie could have been better, close to perfect, if scorsese wouldn't have exagerated things a bit in the end...and maybe a bit in the middle too... he did exactly what nicholson tends to do towards the end of his life, exagerate, make funny faces, too funny faces... there are scenes where he's more a clown than an actor and everybody says at those moments: "god he's so good!"... bullshit... he could be so good if he doesn't pull that stuff... the star of the movie was by far leonardo dicaprio which like scorsese he's reached a close to perfection status, the difference is that scorsese is at the end of his career, while dicaprio is not.

Go see the movie in a movietheater! It's well worth it!

i'm sick of commercials starting with "imagine a world where technology..." well fine, i'm doing it...
it is pretty obvious to me that technology and religion cannot coexist. Sure we've all seen nuns dancing to the beat impregnated by the ipod headphones into her prayer friendly eardrums and why not, if not you, i've seen laptops giving the alarm call for morning prayers and simulating the priest in a muslim_prayer.exe file. Sure this cannot go for much longer, and since religion had its turn, u can see where i'm going...
but is this good? where is this future taking us...i believe that technology is moving kind of fast, and even if we didn't get flying cars by year 2000 like spielberg and vernes predicted, we can duplicate people, we can fly two times the speed of sound, we have mobile phones which play music and videos and go on the net and we even have illuminating headphones which light to the beat....... and we're progressing exponantially, we start caring less about reliability and we're more and more concerned about the next step without being sure of the present step. We want more power, more precision, more future, less present.
At this pace things will evolve really fast and we might even get closer to the great answer for "what is our purpose in life?". But i'm afraid we're gonna reach for it like a prisoner is reaching through the bars of its cell to a key three meters further and as we bend the bars through the power of our technology, the lack of reliability might straighten them when we're getting out head first and we might get blown into the past in a thousand million of a second.
So what do i think of this future, where cars will go three times the speed of light but might disintegrate at a "speed hump" and we die? what do i think of a future, where computers could make the earth turn the other way at the glance of F2 key?...
I say BRING IT ON!!!... but quicker, we don't have much left to live and i want to see the end of the world before i die.

Days of Thunder

Remember, remember the fifth of november: gunpowder, treason and plot...tons of horsepower, minuscule ride heights and air vents the size of airbus' flights, air vents which according to a good "friend" of mine are ment to suck toddlers in to give a boost to the beasts... but i don't really believe him.

We all loved the guy with the "get out of jail free" card that drove the orange porsche and the couple that got their hands on the merc gt cls with the "accelarate in straight lines only just like my grandma' " driving style and of course the priceless moment when a touareg got lost on the track on his way to the mall.
But this was just a preview for things to come... next may, the 20th, fia gt will bring its first race to "Bucharest Ring"... how does that sound?... my thoughts exactly...
