Here it comes



Delayed until 2004? NooooooooOoOoOoOoOooOOoo0ooO0

Oh well, at least it’ll give them plenty of time to perfect the album. That’s a great title too.

Check it out guitar advocates; Fender is reissuing Kurt Cobain’s custom Jag-Stang. Start saving them pennies…

I’m glad you enjoyed the weekend post! A rarity, to be sure.

Good News For People Who Love Bad News

Well, that is the title of Modest Mouse's upcoming album that was originally slated for a September release. Ironically, the bad news is that it has been pused to sometime in 2004. Booo! But, they'll be in town here in November. Yeahhh!

Matchstick Men was pretty good. Maybe it did lukewarm at the box office but the reviews were pretty fresh. Also noteworthy was Sam Rockwell. I only heard he was a good actor, now I know he is. Cage's phrase "pygmies" was hilarious!

Way to go on the weekend post, Brock!

Pigmies



So, I saw Matchstick Men yesterday. Now, from what I’ve gathered so far, this is a film that is generally receiving a lukewarm reception. Perhaps I’m wrong in that statement, but at any rate, I just wanted to share with you the fact that I thought it was pretty nicely done. I really liked the way Nicholas Cage portrayed his character, and I especially liked how Ridley Scott visualized the individual’s neurotic behavior. Quite frankly, I thought it was a Nicholas Cage role and a Ridley Scott interpretation…his style of directing and Cage’s style of acting mingled well.

Go and see it, if only because the first 20 minutes of the film are a fantastic testament to their abilities.

I know, I know. It’s a weekend post! We haven’t had one of those in a while now, have we?
