To Go: Point Break screening Sunday night in L.A.
Here is one of my favorite things Chuck Klosterman has ever written:
"[E]veryone I've ever met seems to know that I like KISS. Everyone. I have come to realize that liking KISS will be the only thing anybody will ever remember about me. I have no doubt that if I died today, whoever was to engrave my tombstone would chisel something along the lines of 'Charles J. Klosterman, 1972-2005: He preferred Animalize to Lick It Up.'"
I don't plan on ever dying, but if it has to happen, I'd suggest this for my own tombstone engraving: "Elizabeth A. Barker, 1977-20??: She believed Point Break to be a legitimately good movie." Aside from about three or four other things, this is my greatest "soul truth" - although I admit that I should maybe try to rid myself of the tendency to get seriously mad whenever anyone talks Point Break trash. Cuz we're all on our own journey, brah, and besides: There's no accounting for taste.
Anyway, if you're smart like me, you'll probably want to go to the special Point Break screening at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood Sunday night at 7:30. The Egyptian's doing a whole Kathryn Bigelow retrospective this weekend, so she'll be there to introduce the movie. (It's actually a double feature, with K-19: The Widowmaker playing afterward; tonight there's another double feature with Near Dark and Strange Days. I have never seen any of those other movies, because the only thing I ever watch is Point Break.)
By the way, I've yet to be addressed as "Bodhi Jenner" as I requested in our Dream Celebrity Entourage post a while back. Why is the world so lame sometimes? Ties my head in knots. But whatever: I'm going surfing now! Hope your Saturday is just one big "killer rush"!

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
point break was scary, barker. YOU SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THIS - POINT BREAK IS NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO GET SCARED EASILY!!
