pop culture update:
saw stellastarr at irving plaza: solid performance, and the new album pretty much avoids the whole sophmore slump syndrome. but they were dogging it a bit. the band doesn't seem to be having as much fun as they did just last year. hope they get their spark back.
saw "tristram shandy" last night -- hilarious, esp for steve coogan fans. michael wnterbottom is genius who just happens to make movies. a brit version of spike jonez or michel gondry.... longer post in film club
finally saw the smallville season 5 premiere: good, not great, as the gough/millar are content with rehashing the plot points from the Superman 2 movie... i thought they were resting on the neat-o FX tricks too much instead of fleshing the legend out more. but then again, there are still 20+ episodes to go....
