So I just listened through the samples on iTunes and it seemed pretty much as I'd expected. There's more music variety now so he's less a direct postal service clone (which actually makes me like it less), and Bombshell Blonde sounds like it could be some good airwaves dominating pop, but the lyrics still fail. That…

Agreed. I was so hungry for new postal service when the first cd came out that I bought it and for a while was a staunch defender. But the more I listened to the lyrics the more it turned into something I was ashamed to be listening to. Can't deny he makes a catchy pop song though and when my son requested it on a cd…

But what's coming out September 7 or 14? By then stores will likely be pushing Halloween and getting people in the mood again. You get all that extra publicity, kids have had at least a week in school so may bite harder on the angst angle, and you still get a jump on the competition. Though I guess if Hotel…

When I saw the trailer it looked like it had some fun potential depending on what they did storywise. The main sell is always going to be "A Hotel Filled With Monsters", kind of like an american take on Spirited Away. Its just a matter of whether or not the story they can make a story thats not so insipid that you're…

I liked ParaNorman too. And it infuriates me that they released in August when its obviously a Halloween movie. Do they fear having to compete against that Hotel Transylvania movie and Frankenweenie (assuming those are both out this year)? I suppose all the school outsider stuff might play well as a back-to-school…

Not if they have magical energy bows.

So we saw this today sans kids and will probably wait for DVD before taking them. I thought the beginning of the movie was pretty tedious and actively disliked it in places. There were times where I was sitting there criticizing the score during scenes which doesn't exactly indicate a high level of immersion. But in…

In the quiet of the morning men's room, he broke wind: a low mournful sound like distant whale song.
