The Good, The Bad Ass & The Ugly
The Good: The Warriors Ultimate Director's Cut on DVD as of yesterday.
The Bad Ass: Rockstar Games (the Grand Theft Auto folks) presents The Warriors for PS2 and all the rest as of 10.18. The trailer looks awesome. If they have even a third of the original soundtrack, I'll be in heaven.
The Ugly: MTV, not content with bastardizing music video for the last twenty years (Yes, I worked for them at one point, I used to pee my pants when I was three too. We all make silly mistakes.), is hooking up with Tony Scott for a remake of The Warriors. It's making me nauseated just typing that. What are they going to attempt to destroy next? Blue Velvet? Citizen Kane?
Somewhere out there on that horizon Out beyond the neon lights I know there must be somethin' better but there's nowhere else in sight It's survival in the city When you live from day to day City streets don't have much pity When you're down, that's where you'll stay In the city, oh, oh. In the city
I was born here in the city With my back against the wall Nothing grows, and life ain't very pretty No one's there to catch you when you fall Somewhere out on that horizon Faraway from the neon sky I know there must be somethin' better And I can't stay another night In the city, oh, oh. In the city - Joe Walsh
