The show hasn't even started yet and the poor girl has flop sweat.

Good call on The Cincinnati Kid, Fred. What a great flick, with Steve McQueen, Malden, Ann-Margret, (a young) Rip Torn, Tuesday Weld, Edward G. Robinson, and I forget the name of the actress who played "Ladyfingers" (too lazy to check IMDB). But Malden in particular was superb in that film.

Amelie has obviously never seen "Question Time" with my right honorable —and lunatic — friends in the House of Commons.

Holes?

is no laughing matter. Opie shoulda known better!!

I'll agree it's not as good as the last album, but "Now We Can See" remains my favorite song of the year. And while it's not as powerful an opener as "Here's Your Future," "When I Died" is a kick-ass song to lead off the latest album ("YEAH, SO I COULD SWIM!!") — I can't help thinking of Arturo and "Geek Love" when…

I'd only known Ten Years After for "I'd Love To Change the World" until I saw the film. That dude could play, man.

They weren't carnival freaks, but there was certainly the similar theme mentioned above that creating an insular setting for your children can lead to both intra- and extra-familial…

Wall Street 2: Risky Bidness

I've seen a few of those staged-reading shows on PBS — "Wizard of Oz" with Jewel as Dorothy, "The Lost World" — and found them surprisingly entertaining.

That's what I'm talkin about!! Thanks for the link, KotP.

guitar god
Keith mentions a guitar solo of Prince's that would put any "heavy metal god to shame." It's probably not the first thing you think of, but Prince is an amazing guitarist. I know the rankings are kind of silly, but I wonder how he ranks among all-time guitarists or if he's even considered to be in any…

So racially he's pretty cool then.

Since getting the HD box I've caught some really good stuff on HDNet Movies. The other night I got very little sleep after watching "Lawrence of Arabia." Seeing that in HD was pretty incredible.

Yep, bubbas will be all a-twitter.
