Achtung Baby!

[ Peach Trees ] + James Dean

"Cause I'm so tired of waiting in restaurants
reading the critics and comics alone
With a waiter with a face made for currency
Like a coin in ancient Rome

And I really do wish you were here next to me
cause I'm going to see James Dean "

[ Rufus Wainwright -  Peach Trees ]

Out this week: "Rebel without a Cause" gets the two-disc Special Edition treatment and "East of Eden" finally comes to DVD.

Lust for Lost

I love Super Heroes - the tv show

Watch as BRAVO sticks Hal Sparks on this show, instantly making it "I love Super Heroes" instead of what they actually named it. ( how did Kim Catrall get on this show? why is she talking about The Hulk? )

Ultimate Super Heroes, Ultimate Super Villains, Ultimate Super Vixens

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Bravo's three-part special celebrating the heroes, villains and vixens who have created powerful impressions on fans throughout the years. Narrated by one of television's classic super heroes Adam West, who portrayed "Batman" in the hit TV series.

80's nostalgia - cartoons

Coming in August: ThunderCATS: Season 1, Volume 1
Coming in July: The Best of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
According to this, a classic cartoon special from the 80's will see the light of day: He-Man/She-Ra Christmas Special. ( another review of it here )
Already out and I didn't even know: M.A.S.K ( Hell, even C.O.P.S is out on DVD )
Now all that is left to come out is Silverhawks! I've yet to meet anyone who remembers Beverly Hills Teens which came out way before 90210.

the best 2 hours of the 04-05 tv season

My favorite 2 hours of the 2004-2005 TV season:

LOST -  Walkabout - The origin of Locke.
House - Three Stories - The origin of Gregory House M.D.

Coincidentally both of the above deal with legs/walking. Terry O'Quinn deserves an Emmy.

Biggest Disappointment of the season: ALIAS.

Kiss My Ass Coldplay

Above from Entertainment Weekly. Hey EW! Atomic Bomb wasn't a "blockbuster"? STFU!

Memo for all journalists: How to interview Coldplay circa 2005

+ *Must* mention U2. ( Refer to having to mention R.E.M when talking about Radiohead a few years back )
+ Let them whine about how they scrapped an album ( hey, didn't U2 do that as well? )
+ Apple.
+ Don't mention that "Speed of Sound" reminds you of "Clocks". Do mention Kraftwerk.
+ Apple.

A few days later after my post: Hot For Coldplay - They want to be the best, biggest band in the world. Ridiculous, right? But then the last people to talk like that were U2.

a starlet then and now

U2 & Cohen

Bono: 'We need to talk'

KOT: You told me the other day that U2 had "Kid A'd" itself to death [a reference to Radiohead's 2000 progressive-rock album "Kid A"]. It was a funny line, but I'm disappointed to hear that.
 
BONO: I want to hear Radiohead, extraordinary band that they are, on MTV. I want them setting fire to the imaginations of 16-, 15-, 14-year-old kids

+ U2 film video with Leonard Cohen
+ "Cohen's upcoming projects include a book, television special, DVD, CD album and extensive worldwide touring." [via] "The Book of Longing" will finally come out?
+ Radiohead to have new album done by Feb. `06

raveonettes show

Ode to Sharin Foo

Went to the raveonettes show this past week with Colleen and ran into "the" Tony Cooke ( frequent commentator here) and zenbetty. They put on a thunderous show, my personal highlights were "Veronica Fever", "Great Love Sound" and "My boyfriend's Back". The shirt Sharin was wearing reminded me of the Velvet Underground. Well, she reminds me of Nico anyways, which made me think of "Joan Of Arc".

a sequel to many posts

So we walk into the theater for Episode III and everyone was given SW: Galaxies and Jump To Lightspeed (Which reminds me, when the Hell is X-Wing vs Tie Fighter going to be remade?). Not too shabby of a random giveaway. Then between JEDI MINDWARP: EPISODE ZERO and Clone Wars: Season 2 ( which lead perfectly into Episode III ) there was a Trivia contest and my friend Chepo totally answered the last and final hard question ( I don't remember what it was) and won some old toy that was boxed and had a golden coin. Lovely found this and it reminds me of alot of people at the movie theatre.
