"Naaaa na na na naaaaa, na na na naaaaa, na na naaa, na na naa, na na na naaaaaaa"

Really? I've not seen it, but no-one has ever compelled me to do so tbh.

Couldn't they give the $50K to a worthwhile charity instead of buying some kids a PS3 each?

Popeye

and WTF is with the video response... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwXPXgyEJco...;watch_response

I knew George had no black friends, guess Kramer won't now either

He was quality in Adaptation too. ...and not bad in World Trade Centre. The man is a modern day De Niro tbh

Me too. I abhor him. Lord of War was like drills in my eyes and ears. He's better in this than anything I've seen him in though.

Did nobody watch Raising Arizona then? Must be the 8th or 9th time I've seen it and I thought I was going to have a hernia, it just gets funnier and funnier. "Me and Dot went in to adopt on account a' somethin' went wrong with my semen, and they said we had to wait five years for a healthy white baby. I said, "Healthy white baby? Five years? What else you got?" Said they got two Koreans and a negra born with his heart on the outside. It's a crazy world. "

$33m wasn't it? £18m is that?

As if you wouldn't have otherwise.

I just get the feeling I would be getting it just because it's him and not because it's something I want to hear. I know what you mean. I bought both volumes of Merry Axemas: A Guitar Christmas. It's not on particularly heavy rotation even at festive times.

B'ah humbug!

Any cop? Have been hovering over the "Add to cart" button the last couple of times I've been to Amazon. I'm not a huge fan of Tom Waits tbh. Every so often I fancy hearing someone with a grizzled voice, but I can never usually last a full album of his. No change with this one. Canny tunes but I got bored and turned it off after 4 or so. Sounded exactly the same as what I've heard from him before.

5 disc set for £10.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Songs-Christmas-Su...0230522-0543671 It's comprised of christmas themed E.P.'s he does every year.

Tom Waits - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards

Got that on my ipod to listen to later as well.

The Beatles - Love Rather dissappointing. Just another excuse to re-release the same old tosh (brilliant tosh though, obviously). I was hoping for drastic re-workings, but almost every song is basically the same as a previous incarnation (either the album or anthology version) but with an atmospheric intro or some found sounds layered on top, they might have altered the mix for 5.1 so that the bass on Lucy in the Sky is given centre stage rather than the keyboards, but is that really worth the bother? Occassionally they do mash something up, but it's basically a stars-on-45 style run of hits rather than an imaginative melding of the vocal from one track and the backing of another. What moments of surprise there are (there are a few, like slowing down Ringo's vocal for Octopus's Gareden and layering it over Good Night) are short-lived and quickly thrown away in preference of sticking to the original. It'll get a lot of listening time from me, because they're great songs and I couldn't say they've been devalued, just that if you want a beatles mash-up this can't really touch The Grey Album.

It's all about Germany these days. Requiem came out on Friday too and is supposed to be one of the best films in the revival.

Not very fucking impressed. Spent half an hour of my life watching this film before pressing info and realising that far from the promised De Niro/Pacino classic I was watching a 1986 Burt Reynolds shit flick. I WANT THAT HALF HOUR OF MY LIFE BACK FACE! I WANT IT BACK!!!!! [/drunken rant] oops. Sorry. Still, Burt Reynolds is a god.

The Pusher Trilogy Hell of a way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I haven't had many drug problems, either in usage or deals, so I might be in no position to comment, but this trilogy kicked the shit out of Requiem For A Dream in my opinion. It doesn't moralise to the extend that RFAD did, doesn't insist than anybody so much as touching a drug will inevitably end up debasing themselves in the most heinous fashion. Rather, it makes a life of drugs (either using or dealing) look like the least appetising choice anyone could make without any sort of sensationalism, even the gruseome finale to part 3 is dealt with so matter of factly it brought to mind the horrible rape scene in Irreversible that I could hardly bare to watch. http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=title...&P36=4HF3LB
