controlled burning: July 2005
http://controlledburning.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 30, 2005. More proof is not needed. Further evidence that television is the sinkhole of our cultural enmity, a place where quality programming and matters of importance are becoming fewer and more distant:. AN ABC FAMILY ORIGINAL MOVIE. An old family rivalry. A new recipe for disaster. Image: behind two star-crossed lovers, two old men in aprons. Get ready to swing at each other with pizza paddles.). Don't believe your eyes. Posted by scn at 9:43 AM. Why I had never heard of Manchild.

Monday, February 21, 2005. Gonzo" journalism was his oeuvre, so named for his own efforts to view the power structure and political process through a chemically-induced haze while thumbing his nose at not just politicians, but all authority figures, mad or sane. Thompson lived as he wrote, seemingly unapologetic for his methods and manner, and steadfast in his beliefs. About a year ago, I began reading his first novel, The Rum Diary. Was in his eighties and died Saturday of natural causes. Sandra Dee...

controlled burning: November 2004

Sunday, November 21, 2004. Which benefits from sounds that are not embarrassing, is absolutely commanding and provokes a sharp emotional response. However, on this most recent Sunday morning, I saw a few scenes from The Country Bears. Walken, in true vaudevillian fashion, turned sharply to see nothing. When he turned back, the slow-moving bear was several hundred feet away, safely on his front porch. I found the subtle foolishness of this scene endearing and went back to my paper. The image of Christophe...

Controlled Burning is the sexy alter-ego of Texas poet Steve Norwood. Steve works in a warehouse and writes poetry for the masses, though they don't know it yet. For an aging, vaguely misanthropic poet, he's a pretty swell guy. Don't worry, he doesn't live on your street. View my complete profile. A Year in (My)Space, Stream-of-Consciousness Style.

controlled burning: May 2005
http://controlledburning.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 30, 2005. Apropos of nothing, part 7. I am leery of anything that everyone says is good.like pilates, Million Dollar Baby. Or this local rib house we attended today for a pleasant Memorial Day luncheon. Crys' parents clamor after the place, saying it is smack-smack good. I should have objected right then and there. After saying this, my lovely wife snorted so hard that she almost lost control of both her car and sinuses. The slaw, however, was rather tasty. And look away whenever they zoom in...

Saturday, April 30, 2005. Great grinning american icons, and the rest of you. 1) Whiskey River, don't run dry. Willie Nelson turns 72 today. One of the few pre-college jobs I held was working in the Capri Theater in Panama City, Florida one summer when Honeysuckle Rose. So here's to you, you great grinning American icon, you. We love you, man. 2) What about ET. BEST - Back To The Future. RUNNERS UP - Any Harry Potter. Film, Home Alone. And out of the. Vast pantheon of films they chose The Goonies. Now, l...

Friday, December 31, 2004. Uh-oh (gaming 2004, part 3). Disappointments and Worst Of Yea. And then there were these. We've talked about best games and plainly enjoyable ones, but this is where the gum really is scraped off the shoe. These are the biggest personal disappointments and the worst games I played all year. James Bond 007: Everything Or Nothing / Onimusha 3: Demon Seige. Destruction Derby Arenas / Fight Club / Syphon Filter: Omega Strain. Playing a game. So. In need of a shower. Reprehensible g...

controlled burning: June 2005
http://controlledburning.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 29, 2005. We went to our local googleplex tonight and saw War of the Worlds. That multi-million-dollar thingie Tom Cruise was supposed to be promoting as he recently hopped from couch to table to Katie to Matt Lauer's Enemies List. Movie star behavioral issues aside, director Steven Spielberg can be proud of his film, which is effective to such a degree that I almost wish it were not so. This is the man who brought dinosaurs so seamlessly to life in Jurassic Park. Posted by scn at 7:11 PM.

Saturday, January 29, 2005. Nominations from the other side. This goes out to anyone who likes a little hot Asian action. This week's Oscar nominations included two Asian entries: House Of Flying Daggers. Received a nod for Cinematography (and runs a tight race against aforementioned The Aviator. As well as A Very Long Engagement. And The Passion Of The Christ. Which, despite your opinions of those films, are all unquestionably gorgeous works), and The Story Of The Weeping Camel. And Running On Karma.
