Yeah, I know..... its been some time.. and I've had no inclination to post anything....
I'm playing "The Flower of Carnage" for the tenth time today! Lyrics Here! This is one great album. As a matter of fact, I downloaded the soundtracks of Kill Bill(Both Volumes), Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
Other songs that have been playing over and over on my ipod are- Pink Moon and It's a Mad world! Ain't Gonna Lose you isn't too shabby either.
Dylan is coming up with his next album! I started listening to some of his archived radio shows the other day. I don't know what to make of the songs. Would it be blasphemy if I said I didn't care about any of them? To be completely truthful, I'd rather listen to Bobby Dylan singing! Dylan is not a great host either. Perfunctory
Did I tell you I'm having a second crack at Gaddis' "The Recognitions"? I love the challenge the book affords. Although, it really wears you down after a while. Anyway, hopefully I will finish it this time. 300 down 500 more pages to go!
Meanwhile, I did try to distract myself with Fantasy viz Sean Russell.(Insert appropriate cocktail metaphor, here) Anyway, it was a bad idea. So there......
I managed to catch "The Watchmen" a couple of weeks back. It was long winded but faithful to the original. With all due respect to Moore, my hair doesn't stand on its end when I hear anything about the comic... It is self important preachy and long winded. Not a bad thing in itself. But, it takes itself so seriously that it just didn't do it for me. In fact, the best portions in the comic, in my opinion, were the interludes featuring the Black Freighter and that was cut off from the movie... I didn't like the Killing Joke and never finished From Hell. I loved V for Vendetta, though. Don't tell anyone, but, I liked that movie! In fact the scene in which Evie is released from prison by V and she walks to the balcony where it is raining and lifts her arms in pure joy, gives me a lump in my throat every time I see it!
Anyway that's that for now! I will come up with something next week!
