    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    That would be Sling Blade, yup yup yup. Maybe he did some 'o them music videos too.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    the unexpurgated Gambling with Souls (1936) I have no idea how it differs from the apparently expurgated version available on dvd, but in either version it is peculiar, barely competent and gloriously sleazy. Wheeler Oakman is a perfect, double-dealing, slime-sucking weasel.

    Aargh! Salad Dressing on my Johnnyphi!

    Corn meal!?!?!?!? Just send it off to someone who cleans hats. Why you would spend weeks pouring things on your hat is beyond me. If you're an obssesive DIYer then DIY, but if you want your hat coming out the other end of the process then let a knowledgable person do it - and pay them...

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Big Interview with Matthew Weiner Variety has a big interview with Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner. Link to the article on season three for a little information on how that is shaping up.

    What happened to TCM?

    Bang the Drum Slowly is on tonight at 8. There's a good film that you don't get to see very often.

    Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now

    I wonder if you'll get one. I don't think they've been able to get bluegrass green for ages, though they seem reluctant to take it off their website. Please let us know.

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    As the second season was about to debut it was getting a lot of press - and it still is. Recently Jimmy Kimmel (!?!) did a Madmen week featuring a different character each day... and yet still only 1.5 million people have taken the time to enjoy this treat. Weird.

    Life On Mars

    It really is. Michael Imperioli is the shizzle. I'm still giving it time.

    Life On Mars

    The second episode seems to be going for camp, and I didn't dig it. The UK version of this episode was so much better, and connected to the larger story in a more effective way. I'm still not liking the lead either. It's losing me. (Meanwhile, The Shield is nearing the last round up and...

    Indiana Jones = Scooby Doo

    Funny. I was watching an episode of The New Scooby Doo Mysteries with my three year old and was surprised (okay, not so much) that the last act seemed to have been stolen for reuse by George Lucas and David Koepp in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. In the Scooby episode a...

    Life On Mars

    I watched the BBC series with ocassionally flagging interest. I did love the music. I wonder if New Yorkers of 1973 were as interested in Bowie and the Who as the soundtrack would lead us to believe, or is that just an unreconstructed transfer from the original. The lead actor is pretty...

    Calling all fans of the Great Depression

    Ironweed is great. All of Kennedy's books are worth a look as most of them take place in around the same period - as in the same few days - depicted in Ironweed, or they feature the same characters, their ancestors or descendants. The movie was so-so, and is not available on dvd as far as I...

    Calling all fans of the Great Depression

    That's in my pile.... a few books down though. Edward Anderson's Theives Like Us and Hungry Men are great books about the Depression. .Woody Haut on Edward Anderson LA Times on Edward Anderson Let us Now Praise Famous Men is justly famous. Let Us Now Praise Famous Men I love...

    Lackadaisy

    A zoot suit and a flapper? When does this take place? Of course, it's about nauseatingly cute talking cats, so what's my point. Back to my mountain high above Whoville.

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    That might be referring to season one. Season two is already skipping through 1962 at the rate of about a month per episode. I loved the look of this last episode. The mise en scenes looked like layouts for period magazines - Esquire, Playboy, etc. The tendency to end with a dolly out...

    Black Dahlia opening scene

    The only part of the movie that did - almost - make any sense. Now if only someone could make heads or tails of the bit about the building, it's ownership and the incineration of Aaron Eckhart. :eusa_doh:
