I know Massive Attack by name only, but they're one of those bands that I had in my head that I would like, and the video you posted has proven me to be correct! I love that song!! Recommend to me an album and I will go buy it, or maybe I can download some songs on ITunes. That's my kind of music!
I'm wanting to be more of a minimalist myself (Mike has definitely had an influence on me!), but I have SO much crap to get rid of first!!
But I *am* trying to not bring anything new into the house, unless it's something I really need.
What are you up to this evening? It's raining here now too, but I like it when I can stay home and enjoy it, plus I'm excited because season 3 of Veronica Mars starts in a few hours!!! Yay!
I lived in the sticks when MTV first came on. Our neighbor's friend would record it and let her borrow the tape. Got to watch. Would be nice if they played more videos. Particularly the old ones, not just all these hip/hop ones.
geez...favorite scene in jackass 2, several come to mind! the snake biting penis bit was funny. then the sign in the hotel where it had that small print & each time someone would read it, knoxville would punch them in the face with that sign coming out right at em...hilarious! and then bam getting branded with the penis! and when they did the switcheroo with phil & replaced him with a fake phil. such a funny movie!
Massive Attack - hell yeah! Mezzanine was quite an achievement, it'll never get replicated... No matter, there are many such outfits from the UK who work a similar groove, gotta love the beat merchants...
I been here and there. This month and last are kinda hell months for us- too much shit that we put on ourselves. And I still don't have internet at home on my computer. GRRRRR!!!!
Vacation was lovely- just what the doctor ordered- 10 days of doing what we wanted, when we wanted. Beholden to none.
Can you believe I've never seen Suspiria? You and NoFi both put it in your 5, so I just added it to my Netflix queue. I also added The Changeling, have you ever seen that? I saw a bit of it once, a long time ago, but never the whole thing. I haven't seen "Don't Look Now" in forever! I saw Session 9, but I can't remember much at all about it, except that it was creepy, and that cool Scottish actor I like was in it.
So did you get a lot of sleep last night then? It's good to go to bed early once in awhile. I actually got 8 hours the other night, it was awesome!
Thanks for the Massive Attack recommendation, I am currently putting ITunes back on my computer (I guess I lost all of the songs I had downloaded in the past? ), so hopefully they will have it and I can try a few more songs.
I have "The Education of Shelby Knox", "The L Word" & "Deepwater" at home from Netflix. What do you have from Greencine?
If I can get 7 1/2 hours of sleep I am SO happy!! Glad you were able to set a record!
A good soundtrack can really amp up the creep factor. I think it's one of the many reasons I like Lynch films so much, because his soundtracks can get you so on edge, or just make you happy. I think he combines sound and images in a really creative and effective way.
I don't think I've ever seen Asia Argento in anything, but I looked her up on IMDB, and I can see what you mean! I also added "The Heart is Deceitful..." to my Netflix queue, so I will check her out soon enough.
Well, I think I will pass on The Crazies, since you just gave it an "eh" review.
But I did move "The Heart is Deceitful..." to the top of my queue. The previews looked so good.
Are you watching AbFab right now?
That France episode is probably my favorite. Is that also the one where Patsy is playing ping pong while all coked out? The scene you posted at the winery *is* my favorite scene ever on that show. Reminds me so much of me in the old days. I was such a Patsy, but without the big hair.
I can't watch anything when I'm on the computer, no tv in here, but I'm going to sign off after this and go rewatch Veronica Mars from last night while I eat something and wait for Lost to come on at 9:00.
Have an ab fab evening! Tomorrow Mike and I have another film noir movie, but I don't know which one!
Take care sweets!
oh that's right! It *wasn't* coke! They found out at the airport, right? And then she was floored that she actually enjoyed ping pong.
I added Rabid to my queue, I'm going to have a busy movie watching month!!
Sweet dreams Shel!
Hi there, glad you liked it. I'm sleepy and PMS-y, last night was a bad one with a panic attack, even if it was a short one, so stupid, but at least I can handle it, I think. I don't want to focus too much on it, it's just like max 10 minutes, you can't let that decide over you the rest of the time.
but Suspiria is the whole package. the colors, the sounds... it feels like a fever dream lifted right out of Dario's head and placed on film. someday i want to see it on, like, a really nice system with a huge screen...
