Jim has the right idea, they need to learn it’s not nice to bully folks – especially girls . . . Chairman Ralph is dead right when he says that time is a great avenger, but I don’t think those fellows will still be at the ballpark in 20 years – at some point, they’re gonna to pull this gestapo act on someone that’s got a connection and then THEY”LL be asked to leave. In 20 years they’ll be on their 5th or 6th gig, still impressed with the limited authority their job allows them . . . <BR/><BR/>Joe<BR/>My favorite post-Clash song is Coma Girl (my daughter loves it, too) . . . I always meant to see him with the Mescaleros, I always figured there’d be plenty of chances . . . I did manage to catch the Clash twice – the Dallas Palladium, Oct '79 (my friends and I were way too young to get in, but my cousin worked the door) and The Bronco Bowl, June ’82 (one of the best shows I’ve ever seen) . . .<BR/><BR/>Junk food<BR/>My weakness: home-made molasses cookies . . . around a stick of butter per dozen . . .<BR/><BR/>“Another Battle”<BR/>I’m not familiar with this movie . . . it’s now on my list . . .<BR/><BR/>Ella …<BR/>My favorite jazz vocal record is “Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook,” I first heard it about two years ago . . . her take on “Miss Otis Regrets” is my favorite track . . . it beats out the version done by the Pogues/Kirsty, and I didn’t think that was possible . . .<BR/><BR/>Hot Fuzz<BR/>Simon, Nick, and Edgar make an incredible team – they posted a video diary (http://www.workingtitlefilms.com/featureVideoClip.php?featureID=167) during the production of Hot Fuzz – laugh out loud funny . . . local politics can really get weird - why do communities allow people with no credentials to sit on planning and zoning commissions and why do most neighborhood groups eventually slide into fascism . . .<BR/><BR/>Stardust<BR/>The mood and feel of Pan’s Labyrinth is exactly what I was hoping for!! . . . if only Guillermo del Toro had directed this!! I agree that the movie has its moments and maybe my expectations were too high to start with and I know that Hollywood doesn’t understand subtlety or gracefulness, but they COMPLETELY changed the ending and that just spoiled the story . . . unforgivable!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19166613.post-61895680655164985922007-08-27T11:00:00.000-07:002007-08-27T11:00:00.000-07:00I don't much care for the LOTR films either. Can't...I don't much care for the LOTR films either. Can't take them at all seriously after seeing Clerks 2 anyway.<BR/>Not seen Stardust, probably won't, as I've not heard any good things about it really.<BR/>In a non-bastard role, Dalton would have been a great Tony Stark about 10 years ago. Downey Jr looks the part now though, so that's good.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415277675970322759noreply@blogger.com
