      Apple fees, Flowers over Boobs and the next Punisher

      24 Jul 2007

      APPLE STORES around the US are set to begin charging entrance fees of $5 per person "to create less traffic and a more enjoyable environment for its customers." Ordinarily, I’d be pissed off on principle, but as I thought about it more, there’s not much else Apple could’ve done to prevent overcrowding. It’s just like parking in Makati; if it were free, the traffic would be horrendous (or I should say, more horrendous than it currently is). Unfortunately, these kind of limiting techniques do tend to create a very "elitist" kind of atmosphere, where only the people with appropriate means are allowed access. Oh well, I guess that’s what shop windows are for.

      PRESENTING: The time-honoured Hollywood tradition of holding flowers over naked breasts.
      Currently on exhibit: Britney Spears, Eva Mendes and Marilyn Monroe.

      RAY STEVENSON, known mostly for his role as Titus Pullo in my favoritest HBO show, Rome, may have just been chosen to play The Punisher in the upcoming sequel. This is of course, after Thomas Jane (who played the titular role in the first movie) pulled out. Stevenson isn’t a bad choice — the Punisher in the comics is an Italian, and Pullo was from Rome — so I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens. (Oh, and Chuck "The Iceman" Lidell might have a role here as well.)

      DESPITE HAVING produced a fairly mediocre collection of songs this time around, my favorite post-punk band Interpol has risen to the #2 spot on the UK album sales charts. They’re also on Spin.

        Titus Pullo? Well he was a bad-ass, especially in the gladiator scene towards the end of Rome season 1. But he was holding swords, axes, clubs and shields back then. Will he have the same aura holding hand guns, shotguns, rifles and artillery? No matter what, I’m still watching this film and hopefully I won’t suffer so much through it.
