Frank Zappa. Pretty much always better live.

Agreed, still waiting.

Actually, it's a pretty funny movie
I also think Nathan missed the point-along with almost every other reviewer. Yes, the Rockwell sequences done in the style of each writer/film-maker are all hilariously incompetent, and the "art" created by every character, ghastly, but it's all sooo bad, how could it not be funny?…

And Another thing . . .
Did Roger Dean get paid? This whole movie looks like an animated Yes album cover.

another question
If you can sustain your disbelief past the idiotically half-baked 'unobtanium' gag or the fact that a movie "that will change films forever!' can actually use a line like "We're not in Kansas anymore' with a straight face, here's another head scratcher to nibble on:

Music is dead
Man, what a lousy list loaded with boring rehashes of rock sounds and styles that were all done better 20, 30 and 40 years ago. I've heard almost every album in the top 25 of this list and don't think any of them are as good as the work from the golden age of rock. This music will all be forgotten in…

This may be the worst list on this site ever.
The list should be:
Mythbusters
Dirty Jobs
Top Gear
Time Warp
Deadliest Catch

Harry Potter and the Seat of Pee
My worst experience happened at the first Harry Potter movie. It was a few days before xmas and my wife and cut out work a little early to catch a pre-5PM discount show. When we got in the theater, there was only a handful of people in there so we headed to the sweet spot-about 1/3…

Best. Book. Ever.
I read this in 1974 when I was 14 and it had a profound impact on pliable teenaged mind. At the time I was already becoming a ghost towner and urban explorer, so I was utterly enraptured by the books casual descriptions of a world without people and how much the natural world would come back after…

Yesterland
Yep, as a child of the 60s I was under the impression that The Jetsons was a documentary. I thought that by 2008 we were supposed to be vacationing on Mars while robot servants cleaned our homes. We don't even have "the paperless office" yet, and Tomorrowland still looks like Yesterland. . . .

Fuck the Offended 2
People who are offended by pop songs need to get a grip. There's too many things in real life that are offensive that go ignored to give a damn about Illegal Alien, Brown Sugar, Run For Your Life, You're 16, One In a Million et al.

They're all good
But this is probably my favorite of the Fleming Bond books. I liked Diamonds Are Forever a bunch too. Way better than the movie. Coming to the books after seeing the movies, I was surprised by how different the tone is. The books are much grittier.

Loving popless week
Likes Billy Joel and doesn't like Bjork. Some hipster you turned out to be!

Sell it
I'd buy this in book for so I can read it in the bathroom.

Sign Fetish
Saw this for the first time about 6 months ago and loved the model replicas of the LV signs and marquees used in the credits. They have a wonderful model-esque quality utterly different than anything being done today.

Good choice
Played it a ton back then, have it in the iTunes now. Yeah, big sound, but pretty low-fi. It's always sounded muddy to me. Other Lillywhite productions like XTC-Drums and Wires, Peter Gabriel- Melt and Psychedelic Furs- Talk Talk Talk sound way better to me, while still having that big fatness.

Noel and Keith go for the jugular
The authors of the article seem to be taking a more pro-active stance in the message threads. I like that very much, I hope it happens all over the AV club boards. Sic 'em guys!
