[a] Cool New Way

This is not a review of Mr. Satriani's tune going by the same title, but the sharing of a funny new find of my own: it's on the intricately delicate film-choosing matter.
So now that the Disclaimer's all set, here's the how: I've now chosen whether or not to see a particular film based on the said film's soundtrack. Possibly a funny way to do it and perhaps not the most reasonable but definitely new and how about cool?!
I've made the decision after Watchmen's impressive [sound] record, and that led me to seeing.. Bronson. And, well, did I like Bronson!

Bronson is based on the life of Charles Bronson—not the (popular) movie star, but the famous English inmate, who took the actor’s moniker as his nom de combat: he’s the most violent prisoner in Britain, who has spent decades behind bars thanks to the years added to his sentences for his bloody outbursts. Bronson, in a manic performance by Tom Hardy that exudes a Jack Napier-level of playful insanity, narrates the film from a dark stage, often in costume, chronicling his childhood and young manhood—marked by robbery and disproportionate violence—through his stays in various jails, psych wards, and disco-era England. [...]
The director posits violence as art, as performance, as a talent, as a calling, as a cause for fame; think of [...] the brutishness placed back into the real world, which asks the audience to confront the cultural fetishization of barbarity. That is, Refn avoids the pitfall of adapting a real life story—getting mired in conforming the complexities of a life into the blueprint of a familiar narrative—by artfully addressing a larger, compelling theme. [...]

Highly recommended, imho. Above review may be fully read on the Cinepinion blog. And this is just this saga's start.

This Year's 1st Food Poisoning Episode

Guess it was bound to happen sooner or later, as me and the digestive system haven't been in good relations over the past year[s]. So it's now.
My efforts to try and take it easy over the holidays seem to have paid off, too bad though that less than 3 weeks into the year the status quo's been challenged.
And I still can't tell what it was that got me here. And I wish my face stopped itching for a change.
Lessons [to learn]: no meats [oops!], no aubergines [oops!], just plain rice & potatoes. Looks like I got it all wrong again. For 3 days now.
