"Hang On, This is Gonna be Bad . . . "
Hello hello everyone!
Saturday night, after our show, while eating some really quite terrible Pick Up Stix, I was flipping through the channels and happened to come across Jurassic Park. I love Jurassic Park. I was beyond obsessed with it when it came out 16 years ago. I've lost count over the years but I know I made my mom take me to see it at least 9 times while it was in theaters. Oh how I miss those old days. You see, where we lived in Northern California at the time, there was this huge movie theater not too far away that we'd always go to. I can't recall the real name of it now but I always referred to it as "The Dome" due to the rather large domed ceiling of the main theater. I don't know if this is just something that went out of style or if its still practiced in some theater complexes but there they had one huge gigantic enormous theater and several much smaller ones. Naturally, the biggest movies where in the biggest theater. And in the summer of 93 there was certainly no bigger movie than Jurassic Park. In the past couple years, the idea of a large screened theater seems to be coming back in a big with the popularization of IMAX screens. Did you happen to see The Dark Knight in IMAX last summer? How much more awesome was that than on a normal screen? Way beyond lightyears incredible more awesome, right? So all of this has led me to this one simple conclusion. Jurassic Park needs to be re-released in IMAX. I original had the idea for this months ago when I dreamt about it. Thats how much I love Jurassic Park. I literally dream about it being in theaters again. In fact, now that I think about, Jurassic Park was also the first real book I ever read.
What a fun little introduction that was. In fact, its actually a rather good lead in to my next segment. Though, I don't think I'm at liberty to discuss it yet. Just know that we shall be announcing something rather large in the next couples minutes. I mean, depending on when you read this, you might already know since its going to be plastered all over the page very very soon. There's even a little hint of it now if you're sharp enough. You might not think its a big deal but trust me, it is. You shall soon understand the depth and scope of its awesomeness.
Ya know what else is awesome? The new trailer for the Nightmare on Elm Street remake! Trailer Action!! I certainly hope it ends up good since the recent rash of classic horror movies remakes haven't exactly been all that spectacular. I mean, I have faith in Jackie Earl Haley. He did a pretty awesome job at being Rorschach in Watchmen. I just hope it doesn't take the same directorial route as the recent horror movies where its high on gore and torture-like situations and goes for the suspense, terror, and intelligence I associate Nightmare on Elm Street with. Oh well, time will tell I suppose.
For those of that didn't know, we played a set of shows this past weekend at the Coronado Speed Festival. It was a good time I must say. Sadly, due to the rather high cost of entry, not many of you Pensive fans could make and we understand. We do wanna thank all of you that did make it out and hope you had yourself a lovely time in the sun. For those of you that were unable to make it, well, it was fun. You better not miss the next Pensive show though. Why? Well, mainly because its not a Pensive show. I'm sure you've all heard by now about the tragedy that struck A City Serene a couple weeks ago. Along with the benefit show at Soma this weekend (which was originally supposed to be A City Serene's cd release show), Pensive along with A Dull Science and Stereo Summer are putting together another benefit show later in the month. Hopefully between these two shows, we can all raise enough money to help them out with whatever they may need help with whether its as urgent as medical bills or as seemingly mundane as replacing equipment destroyed in the crash. The first benefit show is this Saturday at SOMA and the one that we're doing with A Dull Science and Stereo Summer (and several other bands that will be announced soon) will be at the Epicentre on October 25th. I strongly encourage you to attend both shows and show your support.
In a final bit of Pensive related news, if you haven't heard, we and our Street Team are throwing a bonfire on Friday October 9th. Do you live in or near San Diego? Do you like Pensive? (I would assume yes since you're reading this) Do you like the beach and/or fire? Then you are more than welcome to attend. In fact, we encourage everyone reading this stop on by. Its gonna be at Ocean Beach, near Lifeguard tower 3. We're aiming to have to be from 5 to 9 though if you can't get there at 5, its all good. If you're thinking you might wanna stop on by, if you could just send a quick little message on over to our Street Team (Strictly Pensive, its our top friend) that would be wonderful. We hope to see you there!
So anyway, that just about wraps up this week's blog. Check the page right now and every now and again until the big announcement is across the top of the page. See ya'll in a couple days! : )
