What DVD's are we Watching? - Page 60

Last night we watched It Might Get Loud, a documentary about electric guitars with The Edge, Jimmy Page, and Jack White talking and playing together. I recommend it, and I recommend that you put the sound through your stereo and turn it up a little.

The coolest part for me was The Edge demonstrating his guitar playing with and without effects and him talking about playing with his own effects like he was playing with another player. I'm not a guitarist, so maybe somebody who knows about that stuff would find it boring, but I thought it was good.

I know one of the ladies who was actually on staff with Charlie, one of the "Charlie's Angels." She is best friend of my ex sis-in-law who worked on Capitol Hill on staff for another guy.

I had some beers with her this summer. She is still georgeous, tall, leggy, smart...and had some great stories! She also said the portrayal was pretty accurate. She told Tom Hanks at the premiere "and we still have great tits."

Dollhouse season 1. I'm already so sad this got cancelled.

Marine 2 was pretty good.

I watched the latest BBC / RSC production of Hamlet last night (not dvd as such, more an Itunes download).

Was brilliant. Just brilliant! Tennant as hamlet was great; Patrick Stewart as the King and as old Hamlet the ghost was spell-binding. Even laertes wasn't totally shit and he's usually the one that gets most badly miscast

I was only checking the download. Hasd no intention of watching it. Was turning off computer to go to bed and noticed it had finished coming in...having had some probs with itunes downloads lately, i figured I'd check and make sure it was working and the correct download...

3 hours later I went to bed with a head full of Hamlet. it's still in my head now. I adore that play. I think this is now my second favourite production after the old b&w Olivier version (the one that won my heart when i was a nipper).

Ever Since the World Ended

Every single one of those weenies would have been dead in the first 15 minutes, I tell you.

Except maybe Adam.

That's not my apocalypse ... not a single warlord, or horde cruising around on motorcycles and dune buggies, no wickedly sharp stainless steel boomerangs, nothin'!

I agree. I hate it when things start bouncing around and shit. And those things start yanking your covers. It's too cold for that...

What?

Family Guy's Something Something Something Dark Side and Volume 7. Seth McFarlane is my hero.

Knowing - Now that's a stupid ending to what had been a good movie up until that point ...

The Ninth Configuration - Dude at work suggested it, was strange in a totally 70s William Peter Blatty kind of way.

Battlestar Galactica (the new one) Disc one. Not as bad as I remember from watching the first part on SciFi Channel, but still not as brilliant as the friend who told me to give it another chance implied.

I read the book, Twinkle, Twinkle, Killer Kane by Blatty a long time ago. I liked it.
