Three characters, people, animals, vegetables or minerals are given, and you must choose one to marry, one to f*ck and one to kill. No fence sitting. No halfsies. Ya gotta choose.

For any value of 'sex', 'drugs', and 'gambling'.

I was complaining about the Watchmen soundtrack. Here's what it looks like:

1. Desolation Row - My Chemical Romance
2. Unforgettable - Nat King Cole
3. Times They Are A-Changin' - Bob Dylan
4. Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel
5. Me and Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin
6. I'm Your Boogie Man - KC & the Sunshine Band
7. You're My Thrill - Billie Holiday
8. Pruit Igoe & Prophecies - Philip Glass Ensemble
9. Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen
10. All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
11. Ride of the Valkyries - Budapest Symphony Orchestra
12. Pirate Jenny [Live] - Nina Simone

I suppose this is a case of ymmv but to my ears, the soundtrack is like a blow from the balpeen hammer of pop cultural reference, and so hard a blow that stuns, thereby ceasing to have meaning. Breaking out the Simon and Garfunkel (particularly when he did) is like standing at the top of the stairs and yelling THIS IS IMPORTANT! Not only does Watchmen not require that kind of musical support, the musical choices call attention to themselves.

Anyway, I'm too tired to elaborate on this. Cut. Print. I'm about halfway through Kroker and Weinstein's Data Trash and I need to lead a seminar on it in 9 hours. So I'm obvs fried. Best line so far: "What could be more fun than death camps?" Oh Kroker.

Why am I getting spammed via Facebook with announcements for parties in the most exclusive, high end clubs and lounges in the city?
