Not A Champion Come-back

Just a brief comment on Queen + Paul Rodgers Return Of The Champions. You know, while listening to that I couldn’t somehow merit Paul for his marvelous blues part. Nether could I merit May and Taylor for their still good performance. Whoever could be imagined in a part of neo-Queen’s vocalist, but not he. The thing is that Queen’s songs seasoned with Rodger’s voice combine uncombinable, which altogether produces the effect of milk cocktail flavor with vobla.

Romance and Cigarettes

The so-called film of the month, Romance and Cigarettes, by John Torturo is another interpretation of Coffee and Cigarettes, with the only difference that Coffee… was a film where singers performed as actors, and Romance … is a film where actors like James Gandolfini, Stewe Bush, Susan Surrandon and Kate Winslet perform as singers. I won’t dwell upon the plot f the film, because the only genre-classification as “tragicomic musical about workers” is enough to put even a monster into a sopor.
In case you’ll chose to watch it in the cinema, you should know that the main clash is when the central character Nick Murder (James Gandolfini) has got to chose between a comfortable wife (Susan Sarrandon) and a passionate red-haired hag (Winslet). Of course, it doesn’t lead to anything good. Despite that everybody is singing and dancing in which connection you start to wonder what you have paid your money for. For instance, there is an Elvis fan of a very advanced age, with a face of a serial murderer and a voice of Tom Jones. Or there is a ladies man with goggled eyes and spinous teeth, who is advising everybody as for how to treat women. Characters like that are backed with any other dozen of large-caliber monsters who make you meditate whether you are having a nightmare or sitting in the cinema and watching a movie.

You know, mornings are usually shit.

Life usually sucks. Work is both. Usually. However, there can be moments, when work can get much brighter attributes to be described with. Especially in the mornings. Especially when you work for a company that deals with human development. There can be times when all your efforts to do good to any particular human, to humanity as a whole, to the civilization itself can turn into nothing, cause you realize the job you do is not only useless but also harmful. There comes the time when you finally get that the main acquisition of civilization is that it taught people to kill their basic instincts and to replace them with some skills of an office robot. You can make sure of that the next time your boss will have you come to work at the hour when even the underground is still closed and you’ll do that though you have heard a distinct voice in your inside telling you not to do that stupid thing and explaining to you that it knows for sure you’ll have nothing to do today. And when you finally get to the dead business center and when the security doesn’t let your in the *** office because the*** business center hasn’t opened yet, and when to crown it all your get a call from the same *** boss and he informs you the *** work for today is cancelled… you will never be able to doubt my idea as for the main acquisition of humanity.
