    Blues Brothers was a great movie. (the first one) a wonderful collection of soul/blues greats with plenty of car chases. "The highway is for gamblers, you'd better use your sense. Take what you have gathered from coincidence"

Chic Flicks....has to be The Notebook....is there such a thing as love like that? LOL Other fine classics that must be watched: All the Vacation Movies Anything Rodney Dangerfield (Easy Money, Caddy Shack, Back to School) Anything MOB...must be the italian in me (The Godfather, Goodfellas, Mobsters) Animal House Where's my TV guide??? :P

    i thought it was pretty
    i thought it was pretty funny with beldar singing tainted love...hollywood has a horrible habit of ruining decent SNL skits, night at the roxybury, PAT, coneheads,blue brothers,...christ if belushi were still alive they probably would've pitched a samuri something movie or the greek restaurant...i thought that coneheads came out when no one would remember who the coneheads were...though lauraine newman sometimes wore a skull and roses T-shirt, lets not forget that...

    Great Story
    That's a great story CC Joe! I love the surreal undertone of how close we are yet how far away, at the same time. Hmmmmm, in fact it reminds me of the song, "Slip Sliding Away". The Central Park show was incredible, I agree! The movie my fiend refers to is "Coneheads". Don't mind Golden Road, he just gets carried away with all this cloak and dagger stuff. He misses the danger and thrills of life, I suspect. Can't ever be sure with that guy. I myself would just like to move the whole human race ahead a few steps......or a step........or a half step. Peace Brother and have a good and safe trip. When do you leave? Is this a business or pleasure trip or both? The Dude Abides!

    never would have remembered that, until I heard it again; was it really only in Central Park he said 'better?' now I have a project to check that out. anyways, great fucking concert in Central Park, I love the Brazillian/African percussion stuff. Paul Simon's dad was a professor at NYU? or some city college back in the 60's. A guy I know had him as a teacher, anyway, one day this guy I know and Prof. Simon are on the street, and Prof. Simon says, my son is coming to meet me. Up walks Paul Simon, the guy I know had no idea it was 'THE' Paul Simon, (wasn't into his music I guess and this was early in his career, anyways he didn't recognize him) so this guy I know, says to Paul Simon, 'so, what do you do?' Paul was quite gracious, responding with something like, 'well, aside from my music, I also like to...' (I forgot what else he said) at that moment, the guy I know, realized it was THE Paul Simon. as for the movie?? I have no idea, dude. will you abide me? or do I have to wait for GRTUD to abide me?

    Kodachrome?
    I thought he said everything looks WORSE in black & white.....until 1991 and the Central Park Concert, that is....Speaking of this song, name the movie that Kodachrome was part of a sound track which also had a Red Hot Chilli Peppers song written just for this movie, called "Soul to Squeeze" which is not available on any RHCP album? Better get it before GRTUD logs back on! He's a nut for this movie, too. "All energy flows according to the whims of the Great Magnet. What a fool I was to defy him."

Couldn't let this one go by... Jerry & Hunter are alike in some ways, different in others. They were both artists and they both took their own lives, which is a controversial and radical expression of freedom. To say that Jerry didn't know he was taking his own life at some point in the 20 years he was using is ridiculous. Is that the distinction you are trying to make? Please PM me on this if you'd like to reply, most people have no appetite for this subject.

George Clooney will probably win an Oscar for his role as a corporate exec. who flies around the country firing people. His goal in life? To accumulate 10,000,000 frequent flyer miles. It is a very witty and sophisticated comedy. The people he fires are played by people who have been recently laid off from their jobs. This whole movie is really quite poignant and very good. One of the best I've seen in the last 5 years.

At one point, a "prophet" named Benjamen Creem say's: "God told me to watch in the window. the're was a carB.M. and you got in the car? B.C. Yes" Sound familiar to me. lmao, Richard.

Samuel L. Jackson fans will love this one. The movie is a thriller about a terrorist who plants a number of nuclear bombs around the country in the major cities, exactly what number is the main question. The movie has several statements to make about fighting terrorism in general: Who the players are Who has the moral high-ground: Are both warring parties on the same level?? How far are the players willing to go to accomplish their missions? This is a movie you watch from start to finish without stopping, or at least hitting the pause button. Highly recommended if you are into action thrillers that are well done and leave you thinking afterward.

A great film from 1990 (I think) w/ Tim Robbins. Very underated and highly recommended.

I remember feeling sorry for Jacob Singer and then really happy for the guy once I figured it all out. Having eaten a couple of bad ones in my day, I realized it could have been alot worse. This film really spoke to me at the time. ( Can't remember why?). I think this was Mackuly Culkin's first role.

....to me, if I want to laugh I'll throw on "Blazing Saddles" or "Life of Brian". My two favorites. I wonder what would have happened had Mel Brookes teamed up with Monty Python? Mmmm...

Have any of you seen an environmental documentary called "The Cove"? About a guy trying to save dolphins from being slaugtered in a bay in Japan?? My animal-loving almost 13 year old is asking to see it on tv tonight, but I am not sure whether this is a good idea.********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

but I think it's pretty gory and somehow I think your 13 year old already knows that slaughtering dolphins is not so swell.

Then check out "A Wild American Forest" narrated by Susan Sarandon. It's a film about the Klamath-Siskiyou ecoregion which straddles the Oregon-California border and where I've lived for the past 25 years. Check it out and then come visit ! Walk you in the tall trees

Just saw this particular version for the first time. Had me rockin' even though I didn't attend. Fell in love with '69 Grace Slick. Triple Scorpio with those piercing blue eyes! Janis Joplin with the crazy quilt stargown. Wavy Gravy's announcements from the stage.

Soldier Of The Road - a film about Peter Brötzmann. "This film came out of an irrepressible desire to hear Peter Brötzmann's music live, to record his sounds as he crafted them, to film the energy and the freedom of this man. I knew the old vinyl covers he had designed as well as his posters, but the discovery of his painting was a revelation, Above all, as we discussed, enjoying a good cigare, I discoverd a sensitive, open minded man. It was a privilege..."

A variation on the mad scientist theme. Modern pharma hires bright young DNA splicers to create new life and come up with life saving medicines. They create Dren, a humanoid creature that can be aquatic or avian when the need suits and has many other attributes as well, like being able to change sex. Which she does and has sex with the boy-friend, girl friend couple who are the splicers. Worth seeing but the morality play part (big corporation toys with life for profit) is weak in this movie to concentrate on the main character.

Riveting! I feel as though I knew this man my entire life yet we never met and I never saw him perform. An acquaintance over on rottentomatoes (as well all three of my sons) turned me onto Bill Hicks a few years back and my life changed for the better ... I no longer felt alone. I also really like "Sane Man".

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. always a stretch to challenge the '79 adaption with Alec Guinness. but with a superb Director in Tomas Alfredson; Let The Right One, yes the original Swedish film, not the pointless American remake. are U.S. citizens really so dumb that a language outside of English, a cinematic production with subtitles is so completely incomprehensible? Remember: SUBSTANCE OVER STYLE. digression in the rear view mirror. nicely paced, nicely shot and nice sound. not exceptional, but anything with Gary Oldman has a certain gravitas. and Kathy Burke is always a treasure. dominates any scene she's in.

from the mind of Hunter S Thompson. Johnny Depp plays Hunter not so well in this book that was not so good. Trying to squeeze every last dollar out of the estate, eh? The movie opens 10/28

Johnny Depp reading the phone book is probably worth the price of admission, but still.

i wonder if he'd read it in a faux kooky 'I'm eccentric, me' exaggerated dead dull void like tone?talent deserted long ago, producing visual ennui while the crowds gawp on in pleasure, drowsily spooning mouthfuls of congealing nachos into their glistening chops. Depp's recent films represent untertainment at it's finest and will be warmly welcomed by anyone who regularly sits in front of the screen with a loaded shotgun in their mouth, trying to pluck up the courage.

the last time I set foot in the local multiplex was for the Dead movie screening. They're not going to get my money for this. But there's nothing wrong with being fun to watch, and luckily Johnny Depp can make the phone book fun to watch. You want high art, this is probably not your movie.

Kevin Spacey, Donald Sutherland & various others team up on a witty, fast-paced comedy about three white guys in LA trying to kill their bosses. How they managed to make this plot very good is beyond me. Great acting, production values and blooper reel at the end.
