Congrads on your A+ Gabe! Well done. No I haven't gotten the Blue Album Special Edition yet, or the DVD. Monetary setbacks is the reason I'm citing as well. Hopefully sometime this weekend I'll be able to get it though.
I did get the one Pixies album I didn't own earlier this week though. Bossanova. I'll tell you about that and more later today (or tomorrow)...
Me! We got our grades back in Acting class for our last monologue. A+! Oh, yeah. My scene partner and I have picked a scene and it's good. It's about an unhappy couple. Quite funny.
So, Brock, did you pick up the Weezer goodies? I did the ol' budget and found out I'm pretty poor this time around. I had to delay my Weezer purchases. Oh, well. Soon enough.
Check out some of Jeremy Enigk's music (from The Fire Theft and Sunny Day Real Estate) from the upcoming movie The United States of Leland.
Osama was good, but as Gabe mentioned, rather stark. The film had its own wry sense of humor, which blended nicely with its detached narration, but it was ultimately fatalistic. I did enjoy it very much, but it was an eye-opener. If Afghanistan continues to put together films with this much effort then time could see them become a major player on the international film market.
I’m looking forward to Eternal Sunshine very much. I’m hearing plenty of good things about it: Carrey’s tormented performance, Winslet’s peppy characterization, Wood’s brilliantly understated acting, and Gondry’s sharp interpretation of Kaufman’s script. These are all things I’ve heard, but I’m hoping to confirm them when I see the film.
Glad you liked my bit on TM&A. Cope Park sounds great!!
Nice reflection on the re-release of The Moon and Antarctica Brock. That artwork on the cover was featured on their website for a while. Looks cool.
Another album coming out the same day as Modest Mouse's is Cope Park from Audio Learning Center. Modest Mouse will most definitely dominate the CD player, but I've been looking forward to a new album from ALC for a while now. Go to the website now and you can hear the entire album in streaming audio. There are some real good songs on there. It seems to be an angry album, contrasting their first effort, which was very somber.
Brock and I saw the Afghan movie Osama. Not a feel good movie, but well done. We'll be glad, I'm sure, to cleanse our palate with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
