The Movie Thread

[ggould]

Thanks for reading my post.  I did a lyrics search and see that some sites say Jeff Buckley wrote the lyrics, but I thought this guy Tedford was credited.  Go to http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000000G3D/  and listen to first sample.  That's the song that's stuck in my head.

i can't listen to the file at present, but that's the first i've heard of the soundtrack version. i always thought jevetta's was the soundtrack version. but maybe her version was used for the short-lived television series of the same name with whoopi goldberg and jean stapleton. quite doubftul jeff buckley wrote the lyrics. quite, quite doubtful.

Listen when you get a chance, and if anyone has this, please let me know!  I would've popped the $.99 by now if it was on iTunes.  There are many other versions, Barbra Streisand included, but no Jevetta.  When you click on the Windows media sample on the Amazon link, even though it has some other artist listed (Deninger Blasmuski), the file info says Jevetta.  This is certainly haunting me at this point!

I forget where it was that we were discussing "whatever happened to Henry Gibson?" but apparently he's in Wedding Crashers. Which looks freakin' hilarious.

And indeed I saw WC last nite and it IS freakin' hilarious. I'm not a huge Owen Wilson fan but Vince Vaughn rules.

Roger Ebert gives Rob Zombie a rave!

"Here is a gaudy vomitorium of a movie, violent, nauseating and really a pretty good example of its genre. If you are a hardened horror movie fan capable of appreciating skill and wit in the service of the deliberately disgusting, "The Devil's Rejects" may exercise a certain strange charm. If on the other hand you close your eyes if a scene gets icky, here is a movie to see with blinders on, because it starts at icky and descends relentlessly through depraved and nauseating to the embrace of road kill."

I had a line on the CD on ebay, but is buying the CD+postage worth one song?  Maybe it will fall from the sky somehow soon.  Things happen that way now and then. :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Maybe, maybe not.  But this CD is definitely worth the price + postage if you can find it:

I tell ya, allmusic sucks so bad.  I kept falling in and out of being logged in, but at one point saw a huge list of people who did "calling you" and it seems like some sort of modern standard.  I see that Holly Cole did a version (another Due South connection) and I think Natalie Cole too.  There's a CD on ebay I might bid on tomorrow.  We'll see.

Now I'm picturing Phil Spector with milk coming out his nose...
