28 May 2008: 1980

[urth]

Romantics: still a fun record after all these plays.
Saw Indy 4, lots of action (and CGI), but Indy and his pals should have died several times during the film!

I haven't been to the movies for at least a month--I imagine Indy will still be in the theaters once the dust settles, but otherwise I'll have lots of stuff to catch up on via Netflix. (I suspect there aren't too many art/rep houses in rural Oregon, so we'll either be driving to Portland for our movie fixes or renting via one means or another.)

BONUS TRACK:  Elvis Costello - I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down

not the first time Annalisa has bonus'd with a track from Get Happy -- an LP Dave has never played anything from.

I saw it last week.  It's about exactly what you think it's going to be.  Shia LaBoeuf is surprisingly not the weakest element, in fact he's prety buff & I could easily see him going the Brendan Fraser route, trading two action adventure paydays for every small indy film.

TANC: one negative review I saw said the last hour was like a bad direct-to-video sequel to the Mummy films.

I was at a play Sat nite and some guy behind me was going on and on about "this SHYLA kid -- he's fantastic, blah blah". He kept saying "Shyla" and after about the fifth time I thought my head might explode -- I turned around and said "SHIA!! there's no 'L'!"  He was sufficiently humbled.

TANC², I saw the latest Mummy trailer, and it looks frickin awesome.  Brendan & gang get caught up in the return of the Qin emperor and his terra cotta army, with Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh.  Whooop!

TANC^3, those terra cotta soldiers are mentioned in this week's Time (and not w/r/t the Mummy).

And BOS2 (after the Roxy), Games Without Frontiers.

Wonder how many different mondegreens there are for "jeux sans frontieres"?

She's so funky, yeah!

I think that was my first interpretation too!

For years I heard it as "She's so POP-ular."

What is this male version of "Bad Girls"?

actually "Fashion" sounds more like "Bad Girls" than "All Nite Thing" did   BOS2 Bowie

Ooooh, bop, dot do do do do do do do fa fa fa fa FASHION.  Beep Beep!

uh, me too.  What is being said if not that?  Is that what you're referring to about "jeux sans frontieres"?

Yep--which means "games without frontiers" en francais. I think "she's so popular" is the most common of the mondegreens of that phrase.
