denidoom's Journal: air filter, punk rock, and Dr. Who

* Dr. Who spoiler below *

I changed the air filter in my car this weekend. The exciting part was I removed something called an "air intake silencer." It was in the way, anyway, and now I have a little more pep.

Watched Another State of Mind (1984) [IMDb] movie featuring the punk rock band Social Distortion. The commentary from Mike Ness (lead singer/song writer) was well worth watching. This was a great movie and brought back a lot of nostalgic memories. There is this one scene where a punk gives a lesson on how to slam dance. It's laughable... but then, dang he was pretty good at it.

Also, Kurt and Courtney (1998) [IMDb] This movie upset me and I have mixed feelings about the whole murder conspiracy theory. The documentary was done by the BBC and Courtney blocked a lot of the content and the picture that was painted of her was pretty negative. Even so, the journalist in the movie asserted he did not believe she had Kurt murdered. But there's questions about evidence, and her her "personality" of latching on to people she felt she could ride the wave of success with. I don't think you can accuse someone of murder, though, just because they have a crappy personality I mean you really need proof.

Watched a Dr. Who episode, "Father's Day" where the Doctor tells Rose not to ever touch the baby and what does she do? She touches it. She did some other stupid stuff too. I understand she had some unfinished business with her dad and I don't dismiss her emotional feeling about it all, but DAMN she was STUPID. The monsters attacking the church were very cool looking and scary. Reminded me of the Shadows from Bablyon 5.
