Last night I caught This Film is Not Yet Rated as part of the Seattle International Film Festival. Before that, there was dinner to savor over at 1200 Bistro & Lounge, not to be confused with 12:00 the time, as in that one time my friend emailed me to say, "We had dinner at 1200. Ever tried that?" And I thought to myself, he wants to know if I've ever had dinner at midnight? Talk about a misunderstanding.
On a related note, if you do ever decide to eat at midnight, try the rabbit lasagna. Hey, don't make that face at me. I've seen you eat chickens and cows and fish. Don't get all bent out of shape just because bunnies are fluffy and cute. Pigs have feelings too, you know.
Mmm, pork.
Side note #1: Above does not apply to the vegetarians in the crowd.
Side note #2: Once when I was out with a bunch of coworker's for lunch I noticed someone else at my table had ordered the Cobb Salad as I had, except hers didn't have any bacon. Because her plate clearly was not vegetarian since it was covered in chicken, I asked her what she had against bacon. Her response was, "I don't eat red meat". Sure, that makes sense.
Many people will eat cow and chicken but not pigs. Some people, like Jews and Muslims for religious reasons. I don't eat bacon on salads since bacon is nothing more than fried pig fat. Why would I put that on my salad? Oh, and most bacon on salads is fake. And pigs are filthy animals and waller in their own filth.
And rabbits look cute like kitties so they are no part of my diet either. And apparently taste like chicken so eat chicken instead. Sure baby chicks and cows are cute -- and I don't eat them either. Grown up chickens and cows are ugly and fair game. Sorry, I don't make the rules. But ugly never wins. Ask Darwin
There's a scene in this season's Sopranos where a rabbit gets whacked and ends up in a rabbit lasagna dish. You'll see this next year when it is on video and salivate.

Oh, and the movie: The MPAA system is fucked up. And when did they add that "contains mild nudity and drug use" under the ratings? I want to be surprised! Or at least tell me someone hot will be nekkid!
I'll save this film for when it comes on IFC.

I'm debating about seeing a Seattle Film Festival movie tonight or tomorrow. The weather is perfect for movie viewing. Hey, Vashon Island misses you. Rabbit is alright, si tu es francais.

She killed me Johnny. But she had to spring for the renewal herself.

Kirk, You don't eat things if they're cute? Makes total sense to me. Yes, the MPAA is totally messed up. It's a secret board of 8 people that decide what gets what rating and it's heavily influenced by the major studios. Independent films get the shaft.
Egan, SIFF is great. Did you know it's the largest film festival in North America? Well, it is.
Porky Pig, Hi Egan. What's up?
Thérèse, As Egan would say Yum!
Johnny, Kirk.
Kirk, Yeah and my credit card wants to register a complaint.
