News You Can Bruise for 2005 March 18 (entry 2)

(8) Fri Mar 18 2005 21:47 PST A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental: Sumana knows I'm obsessed with the automat, and sent me a bunch of frustratingly-small historical images pertaining to that dys/utopia of restauranteering. I must now see Dark City just for that sleek-looking automat scene. Also, for some reason, vegan cheesecake.

How could you make an automat even more automatic?

No, but I haven't had time to repair it yet. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion!

Obligatory similar complaint re: Urban Creation Myth.

I love Dark City, but heard the spoilering on my first viewing. The trick is to develop a horrifically bad memory, such that by the time the ending comes around (or, indeed, the first five minutes have elapsed) you've utterly forgotten the opening monologue.

I can't fix Urban Creaton Myth; I have to re-record the whole thing.

Alas!
