Monday again....

Weekend was uneventful for the most part. Ended up going out Friday evening to see the great Frank Cassano bully the ears of the assembled. Gathering was at the Guild theatre and featured the finale to the Mercury Summer Movie Megathon.

Get this.....Battle Royale.

Never seen or heard of this Japanese (?) flick before, but I guess this was the Portland premiere. Premise places 40 Japanese high school students on an island to play a game that is a cross between 'The Running Man' and 'Lord of the Flies'. Last one surviving three days of battle royale - gets to go home. Or do they?

Weird comic/graphic violence - much along the lines of Hard Boiled - although slightly more controversial based on the age of the combatants.

U.S. parent groups would flip out over this film. Truly. Trust our neighbors to the East to deliver (once again) in the sick and wrong category.

The rest of the weekend was leftovers and nonsuch. The car is due for service at some point this week. The part is making its way up the West coast via Los Angeles. Why VW doesn't keep a sufficient parts department in the Northwest, I don't know.

Making dinner all this week. Good to cook every once in a while.
Hopefully won't blow anything up.
