Jeez about time
With all the Powell and Pressburger pics in the Criterion catalogue, I figured it would have a lower spine number than 431.

And then I say something.

Free Chicken!

Solid Steel
Steinski has recorded a couple of mixes for the Ninja Tune radio show, at least one of which is available as a podcast. It's great. That is all.

The article was making a generalization. Madonna and Britney are the same: High-profile pop recording artists.

Right, but there is so much more vitriol when the topic is something that everyone can talk about. the folks in the cheap seats get all confused and furrow their brows in consternation just considering how Herzog's name could be pronounced that way. belligerent cynics and intractable classicists and everyone in…

Me too! Jeff Goldblum is a creep.

Spielberg looks like
Zach Braff in that picture.

I suggested the Simpsons primer in the comments for the Rolling Stones primer. Lobsters is right this time. Has anyone ever thought "I'm interested in the films of Steven Spielberg, but where to start?"

Consider yourself lucky. There is a ton of great music out there, and a ton being made today. I don't worry about missing out on anything, because it will probably make its way to me sometime.

How the hell
are they going to make a live action fraggle rock movie?

Is this too obvious to even say?
Didn't they already make that show about a team that investigated paranormal mysteries? It was called Unsolved Mysteries.

There's a song that has a long sample about what would have happened if humans had 12 fingers and 12 became the basis for counting instead of 10…I don't remember what it is though.

White Seal
I watched thise chuck jones cartoons many many times when I was a lad. That DVD has been in my netflix queue for months. Rikki Tikki Tavi is the best one.
