There is a certain mode of communication at the U most often utilized by people with no advertising budget but yet feel that what they have to say is extremely important; it's the sidewalk chalk board. This is where all of the candidates for various student body offices will plant their names into your subconscious as well as telling you where and when to vote. The Born-agains will relay their messages from god and the Treehuggers will encourage you to take action.
Yesterday morning, a new group added their message into the mix. I'm not exactly sure what it is their trying to tell me, but apparently there is a being called "cockzilla" on the loose and looks exactly as it sounds - the lower body of godzilla but the neck and head represent the male genitalia except with teeth and little tyrannosaurus arms. It's a shame because I think this rain is going to wash away cockzilla before I can learn what it's mission is.
I watched Coffee and Cigarettes last night which Netflix was kind enough to send me. It's a collection of conversations between actors over, guess what, coffee and cigarettes. It's filmed in black and white and there is always some type of checkered pattern on the set; either the table is checkered, or the floor, or the cups, you get the idea. I didn't really like it immediately but it's starting to grow on me now, kind of like Fargo did.
There were about ten different scripted vignettes but with some of them, I'm not sure how much was actually written and how much was improvised. The first one with Steven Wright and Roberto Benigni looked like they may have just been given an idea and went from there. Roberto Benigni is absolutely adorable.
My favorite was with Alfred Molina and Steve Coogan. A very close second was Iggy Pop and Tom Waits' scene. Iggy is really good at rolling his eyes. I've never heard Tom Waits speak before. Now I want to hear his music. Does anyone have anything by Waits that I could borrow? I promise I won't break it. I would go into more detail about the movie but I don't want to ruin it for anyone. That and I don't want to bore you.
Now I've bored myself. I'm off to mooch coffee off of someone.
