Here’s the new home office set up. Sadly, the recording studio was broken down so I could use the larger desk. But considering in the two years that we’ve lived here, we haven’t recorded one note, it had to be done. Sad but true.
On the bright side, I now have a pretty ridiculous little graphic studio set up. Clockwise from the top left: laptop (Dell XPS M1710), Acer 17 inch monitor (for dual-screen action), my beautiful new 24 inch iMac, Canon Rebel xti D-SLR camera. Down the shelves is a 1TB external hard drive, External DVD burner and wireless printer. And of course, up top, the hand sanitizer, don’t be touchin my stuff with your dirty ass hands.
This is crazy, a couple of deer come through the open front door of a liquor store in Pennsylvania and run rampant.
I wanna see the security camera from the parking lot before they got inside. Were they sitting across the street plotting the right time? In dire need of some cash to score some more rock? Baby mamas on their back for child support? I want answers!
So I was just watching Pineapple Express and the duo of Budlofsky (Kevin Corrigan) and Matheson (Craig Robinson) reminded me of the Vincent and Jules hitmen characters from Pulp Fiction. Obviously, Budlovsky and Matheson don’t come off quite as badass as Vincent and Jules, but the dynamic of the characters is pretty similar.
There’s the obvious white/black combo, Budlofsky in a way losing his edge and wanting to just go home to his wife likens to Jules wanting to give up the killing game and just walk the earth. And there’s this imagery of both pairs aiming their guns. Looking at them side by side, maybe its more like the poor man’s version rather than the modern day. Either way, I thought it was an interesting tidbit to throw out there.
At the very least, I’d say Budlofsky and Matheson probably looked up to Vincent and Jules growing up and wanting to be hired guns. I wonder if they took any of this into consideration when making the movie?
With Terrell Owens back in the news, I just felt the need to throw this out there again. It feels good knowing the Giants made him cry like the baby that he is.
