Last I heard, (which was last night) it's now slated for release in April. I'm not sure why.

You sure have thought a lot about all things cinema, haven't you?

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!

You just called me Sebby, didn't you.

Help! Please!

Tell me what you find confusing? Is it the way we kiss? I'll change, I promise I'll change.

C'mon, Julia Roberts isn't so bad.

Neither is Reese Witherspoon, for that matter.

Dan Rather is kinda hot, too.

It is my understandng that Uma is Northfield Mount Hermon Class of '87 which would make her 34 going on 35 unless she was a wizard who skipped grades. I would think Laura Dern is not far off age wise. Looks like thi Scarlett Johannson chick might be who you are thinkging of. I was not impressed by Ghost World to put it mildly and didnt see Lost IN Translation yet, so I dont know .

Hell no. I only notice kids because I get 10,000 pre-birth invites/baby-gift-extortions every time.

But I do generally know if someone's relationship is/isn't on the rocks or if their partner's parent is grievously ill.

Given that her father is a leading scholar of Tibetan Buddhism, it's not out of the question.

I was unfortunate enough to hear one cut from it, which supposedly he wrote. Your fears are well-founded. It's worse than lite FM -- It's a Diane Warren song.

I'm not sure what's sadder. Creative people who become junkies, or creative people who become ex-junkies.

With all the pot, you honestly think he wasn't a lump on a couch already?

Please. If he were a cokehead, or a solely major alcoholic, then you'd have a viable complaint.

Damn. I really liked the first one and was looking forward to a quick turnaround for the second. The art direction department for that film is going to be snubbed for an Oscar nomination.

I saw four movies last weekend (Mystic River, Lost in Translation, Cold Mountain, and Big Fish). I probably see at least three movies a month in the theater and a dozen or more at home. I'm in the wrong fucking industry.

GGG, I was responding to his Sandra Bullock comment, with multiple responses in one post.

That's funny.

Nancy Reagan, please.

This is a guy who when on booze, pot, coke and heroin was well-known for legendary battles with his brother.

Not a pussy, he. Until now.

Paigow,

If you dig the Crowes, try out My Morning Jacket and the Kings of Leon. They're both sorta Crowesy in different ways.

If you dig the Crowes' harder edged stuff, try out The Go. Their new recrod is great.

The Crowes needed a hiatus. Lions had some killer moments, but it also had a whole lotta slop on it. They need to come back with another way spaced out disc like Amorica. I think they have the genius double disc in them, if they could only go with their own sound and stop fighting about whether to be the faces or Zeppelin.

PS: I've seen them play live about five times, last time being with Jimmy Page. The Page show was unreal.

Whew. Thanks.

So your reviews? Mystic River was one of the best movies I've seen until the last five minutes, when I thought the wife's role was badly overwritten. The others you saw are all on my short list.

IMDB lists Uma as born in 1970. She seems younger than that.

Put Utne on there on I think your list would mirror AG's. Are you his sock?

Here's a tip. Whenever I get a birth announcement or some sort of shower invite or a mass mailing holiday letter, I mail it back to the sender with the word "Unsubscribe" scrawled across the front.

If you want to hear what happens when people stop taking drugs and drinking, listen to the new Metallica record. Its one of the very few utterly unredeemable discs I own. There is not a listenable cut on the entire album, and its all dreck from the singer about how he's got control of his life now that he's clean and sober. It might as well be Christian Rock.

Maybe coltrane was right?
 

No thanks. They lost me when they covered a Bob Fucking Seger song.

Thanks for posting that PJ post. She wins the Sunny Bunny Ignorant Judgment Award. I am ashamed to have her hail from my homestate when she is so clearly more suited to interior Orange County.

Amen! Don't get me started on those filthy, vacant-stared, slack-jawed, mumbling little pothead zombies, who barely have the motivation to wipe the Doritos crumbs and drool off their faces, much less to change the channel from the cable access show broadcasting high school graduation videos.

Can you do me a favor and let me know when any of these bands might be in the DC area if you follow their tour info, which i suspect you do? I need a show, man.

Maybe coltrane was right?
 

for you paigow, the world:

My Morning Jacket will be in DC at 9:30 Club on 1/31: http://www.mymorningjacket.com/shows.html

I saw them here a couple of months ago. They are more Allmans-y than Black Crowes, IMO. I would think you would like them.

FWIW, were I ever to use the term "The One" to the Mr (outside of a discussion of the merits of the various Highlander and Matrix movies, saying "oooh, you're The One, when did you know I was The One" or anything like that) he'd beat me with a stick. As would I if he tried it. (That's part of how we knew we were The One!) And I don't think it is very much like what these people who go on about finding The One seem to be looking for. It wasn't flowers & fireworks, it was more like "oh, THAT's where my right leg has been all these years." Or like e-mail - you know you didn't have it at some point in the past and apparently survived, but now you just can't imagine how.

BR(that's me, the true romantic - "baby, I love you like e-mail." I should copyright it for Valentine's Day)C

I'll agree on the overwritten part, but that didn't spoil the movie for me. Watching Mystic River was like being slugged in the stomach every 10 minutes. Not necessarily and enjoyable movie, but a powerful one.

Maybe coltrane was right?
 

The Kings of Leon I think are on tour with the Strokes. the Strokes are overhyped and overrated, but that doesn't make their latest record any less brilliant than I happen to think it is. I like it waaay more than their first record, which everyone thought was the bext new rock since Nirvana.

Floyd in True Romance is Brad Pitt's greatest ever role, followed closely by Micky in Snatch.

Morning jacket is coming here but I wont be here. Does anyone recommend any of tehese bands and if so, why?

Starsailor, Tim Burgess
Measles Mumps Rubella, Frequency, Tallboys. , Mae, Copeland, Working Title.

My favorite stoner sceen stealers still have to be Keanu Reeves and William Hurt in I Love You to Death, though. I still see that and think that maybe, just maybe, there is a chance that Keanu Reeves is secretly a brilliant actor ....

Maybe coltrane was right?
 

Narc, please. I don't mind 'em. Hell, I dated 'em, though no one who actually drooled. I just don't think Kate Hudson outweighs it in the Why Chris Robinson is A Simp department.

I cannot beleive that the samples and big head todd are coming here. who goes to see these bands? we also have mellissa etheridge coming, and northern missippi allstars and foutnains of wayne. someone touted the last band- is that worht seeing? I plan to go to the Missiippi Allstars.

That's your test for not being a pussy? His notorious fighting with his brother? Fuck, my brothers had worse battles than that without the benefit of the drug-induced insulation from pain.

Don't believe the hype - the band sucked since "And Justice for All"

Friday Recap
 

1) Paigow is clearly coming down hard off a late-night binge. Mood swings all over the place.

2) Hillary Duff

Boy, THAT would be the all-time holding close of the cards.

The whole premise of Reese ever being America's sweetheart/ingenue is ridiculous anyways. From 1999-early 2002, it was Julia Stiles. Now it's clearly Keira Knightley (I know she's not American). However, it's going to be 17 year old Mischa Barton in the not-too-distant future.

I would go to see Big Head Todd, if for no other reason, nostalgia.

I not only dislike the Samples, I dislike most people I've met who like the Samples.

The No Miss Allstars are pretty good.

Prosecutors say no to Limbaugh plea pitch

From the Associated Press

Jan. 23, 2004 WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Prosecutors rejected a proposed deal offered by Rush Limbaugh’s attorney that would have seen the radio commentator enter a court-sponsored drug intervention program rather than face charges, according to records.

Instead, Palm Beach County prosecutors wanted Limbaugh to plead guilty to the third-degree felony of “doctor shopping” — visiting several doctors to receive duplicate prescriptions of a controlled narcotic.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4037128/

Quote by Rush's attorney: “The public is better served by treating addicts as patients rather than criminals.”

May Limbaugh's words come back to bite him: "Drug addicts have no liberties and they should be locked up for years, no therapies since it was a conscious decision to get started with drugs. " (paraphrase of Rush rant, according to my flawless recollection).

Hey Flav - The Black Album was great. And Load had a few great cuts.

And Justice was about half an hour too long and proved that drunken metalheads shouldn't tackle subjects like the Court system and the enironment in skater anthems. Hetfield is no Joe Strummer.
