What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[foo]

oh yeh, in the deleted scenes there's this guy singing (erm...don't know who he is), but he didn't catch my attention. it was the long guitar player. was there ever a man and his body at one with his instrument! i rewound it quite a few times. what a dude.

ah. Johnny Down. the man with the grey hair. yep. i loved the bit in the barbers. and the ole man with the wobbly legs talking about how it used to be with that clothes catalogue.

 

[foo]

Did you like the Johnny Down song - him and the woman in the barbers.. "first there was a funeral.. then there was trial... "

just stunning. And The Handsome Family were so cool in it.

i had heard of them (from you probably ) and didn't realise that's who the man and the woman were on the floating house until the credits, so i watched them again.

i'm going to watch the whole thing again. i'm already getting into slide guitar music (and i love the Paris Texas cd i've got - which i know is different, but has a similar atmosphere). i feel a new passion coming on....

<gets compiling>

actually, if you want a really intriguing listen, check out an album that Luke Vibert, who's a kind of glitchy experimental electronic / jungle geezer (kinda ), did with BJ Cole, who's probably the best pedal steel player the UK's ever produced (worked with bloody everybody). It's odd but it really works

 

[foo]

eta: i'm actually going to do your gospel disc today and i'll knock up a CD of that sort of stuff as well, as a "bit late" consolation prize

oh wow. thanks! x

edit: just seen that post. Luke vibert - will do. this is great, i love new stuff! (i know it's not new but it is to me iyswim)

mustn't get too animated; i'm cultivating a slowness of speech and movement. and looking up at the trees a lot.

 

[Dubversion]

heh

if you want to read a great book, try The Gospel Singer by Harry Crews, who was the old big fella walking alongside the car a while..

 

[May Kasahara]

The last DVD I watched was The Blues Brothers, in the small hours of Saturday morning. It's still quality

 

[jeff_leigh]

Last night I watched "Dirty Mary Crazy Larry" and it's still cool

cheers. the man with the wobbly legs - and the stories.

Just finished watching Black Sheep and I thought it was brilliant.

Funny as fuck and destined to become a cult classic. Good dumb entertainment.

It was filmed where my in-laws live which made it even more creepy.

 

[May Kasahara]

Better Off Dead Uninterrupted by a mass outbreak of flies this time, so I was able to properly appreciate how great it is, even after all these years - funny, sweet, stupid and with some excellently filmed ski sequences. The only problem is that now I'm all hung up on teenage John Cusack all over again...sigh.

 

[London_Calling]

The Sopranos - Season 2 finished.


I dunno . . . maybe I'm still getting over The Wire.

 

[Dubversion]

seem to have been caught up in Pie Face's Oz binge (she's blasted through about 10 episodes in one day).

 

[marty21]

watched about 8 episodes of 24 series 5 yesterday

 

[marty21]

and two more episodes of the wire series 2 tonight - loving it

Christ. I find it had to sit through more than an two hours of any show no matter how good it is. Isn't that a whole day in front of the TV?

 

[foo]

jesus, a whole day of Oz, and i'd want to cut my eyes out

watched that film again last night Dub. i am in love. hurry up with those cds!

i'm going to Fopp today, to find the soundtrack

I enjoyed it too. I thought it was a touch long in the middle, but the idea is so wacko, that you don't really mind. We'll probably add it to the family library.

White Line Fever

This weekend, I watched:

A Dog's Breakfast, a Canadian indie comedy, with half the cast of Stargate Atlantis. Actually very funny, beautifully played, single location film.

And Transformers. Errr, yeah. I think my interest was mostly held by the female lead . And maybe a little by the huge robots turning into cars and blowing up lots of stuff. Mildy entertaining, but tosh anyway.

 

[moomoo]

Music and Lyrics.

The teenager bought it at the weekend (even though we had already seen it at the cinema) and insisted we all watch it together.

It is a sweet, lighthearted, girly, Hugh Grant film. Made us laugh.

 

[Ranbay]

Striaght heads with Danny dyer... was good but a little bit to rapey( to much rape ) for the bird.

 

[mhendo]

Watched the first three episodes the Season 3 of Weeds. Still loving it.

[Dubversion]

[Dubversion]

i dunno, it sounds fucking abhorrent. A 'rapey' Danny Dyer film? jesus..

Ep's 7&8 of The Wire season 3

 

[breasticles]

requiem for a dream. made me want to take drugs, and then made me not want to take drugs very rapidly. another thing- this film viewed after drugstore cowboy could possibly lead a naive audience to the belief that women only get into heroin if they either are kelly lynch, or look very very like kelly lynch. hmmm. and another thing- this film viewed after traffic could lead a naive audience to believe that the very worst thing that can happen to a young woman in active heroin addiction is having vaguely non- consensual sex with big black men. which is also, you know, hmmmm.

also: sense and sensibility- regrettably i now find this much more my 'speed' than all that fast-cut vein- bulgey gruelling descent into degradation and pyschosis type stuff. yes, i am a pensioner, and a very middle- class one at that.
