Quote from: "Gazoo"
While I mightily respect the mighty mighty CNR, that press release reeks of faint desperation.  Dude, he's not THAT important to the cultural landscape.  But I'll take him ("to block!") over the Real Rip Taylor.


actually... not a press release. That's a review in H'wood Elsewhere's "Arthouse Cowboy" column. I'm spacing on the guy's name, but he saw the docu @ SXSW.  He also raved about Altman's new Prairie Home Companion -- particularly the performance in it by The Streep.

we saw the 6:30 show, and really dug it.  The print seemed to be getting worn out; it woulda looked better in high-def.  Music was great, plot was great.  What was really good, without giving anything away, is how after the movie's over, you ask questions about "what happened to this?" and "what happened to that?"  The backstory makes it seem really real.

I really dug the song at the end of the movie, but on iTunes, you have to buy the whole album to get the song.  Everyone is complaining that they'd buy the single...

Coming Soon:  "When Do We Eat?", a wacky comedy about a Seder gone awry when son slips dad a hit of Ecstasy. (Kosher Ecstasy, presumably...)  And hilarity ensues! OY!

Maybe Matisyahu is on the soundtrack?  The tagline on the poster: "Sex, Drugs, and Matzoh Ball Soup!"

Watched Fever Pitch (Drew Barrymore, Jimmy Fallon) Sunday night on HBO, another Americanized Nick Hornsby offering, directed by the Farrely Bros.  Decent enough little comedy.  

The reason I mention it, however, was a montage scene set to J. Geils "Whammer Jammer," which surprised the hell out of me.  They played the entire song as the Fallon character got ready for the start of baseball season.

Woo Hoo!  That's ONE THOUSAND baby!

I still say KT Tunstall looks like Keener's younger sis.
