- UPCOMING -


wanting to watch Butterfly Effect (2004) again - If you could travel back in time and undo a horrible childhood, would you? This thriller poses that complex question when a young man named Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher), who's besieged by tragic memories, discovers a way to alter his past. But should he?

speaking of butterflies [see also below in THOUGHTS] - i should watch this one again, also: In the Time of the Butterflies (2001) - Salma Hayek steps out in a weighty, serious role as Minerva Mirabel, a resistance fighter against the popular dictatorship of Leonidas Trujillo (Edward James Olmos) in the Dominican Republic


image hosted by grab.com

...and speaking of Salma Hayek: i'd like to also watch Frida (2002) again... Julie Taymor directs this Oscar-winning biopic of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek), focusing on her often rocky relationship with husband Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina). Also known for her controversial political and sexual reputation (she was a communist and a bisexual), Frida struggled with a life of wracking pain ...and yes, i agree, i'd drink any liquid off her body... see previous: 050920 [From Dusk Till Dawn] - i will borrow that one again just to watch her performance!

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
Three convicts (George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson) break out of jail during the 1920s with an eye toward retrieving a cache of hidden money. Along the way, they fast-talk their way out of jams, sidestep alluring riverside sirens and record a hit country song. O Brother is a rollicking romp in the tradition of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby's "road" pictures.
Starring: George Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, Charles Durning, John Goodman, Michael Badalucco, Holly Hunter, Stephen Root, Chris Thomas King, Daniel Von Bargen, Musetta Vander

...The schedule of lecturers on college campuses around the country has begun reading like the police blotter: Conservative author Ann Coulter˜hit by a pie tossed by two attackers last year. Conservative editor William Kristol˜hit by an ice cream pie at a Quaker college in Indiana in March. Really conservative guy Pat Buchanan hit by salad dressing two days later. Liberal-turned-conservative author David Horowitz˜hit by a chocolate cream pie a few days after that.

It's disgusting, isn‚t it? The salad dressing, I mean. Everyone knows that salad dressing is simply not an effective medium for expressing dissent. But pie on the other hand...

Legend - The Best of Bob Marley and the Wailers (1984) - see below in MUSIC


@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


MUSIC --


Legend - Bob Marley and the Wailers - the CD is definitely at the top of favorites, and then there is:

Legend - The Best of Bob Marley and the Wailers (1984) - the DVD!

haven't see this one yet - gotta get it!



- from Amazon.com
If you are expecting just the videos for the tracks on Bob Marley's extremely successful greatest hits CD, you are going to be pleasantly surprised with this DVD. Legend is much more than a simple, video anthology. It is a historical telling of the music of Bob Marley presented in 23 videos, most of which are performances, and a 90-minute documentary. The documentary is a collage of images and video clips put to a running dialogue by Marley. Unless you are very familiar with the Jamaican dialect, it is recommended to watch this with the subtitles turned on. Interesting, but there are better documentaries out there (e.g., The Bob Marley Story: Caribbean Nights). It is the live performances, however, that make this DVD worth its weight in gold. Every person remotely interested in his music owes it to himself to witness Bob Marley perform on stage. Musically, Marley is as close to perfection as any artist can hope to achieve. But as a performer, he transcends beyond the secular pop star status to the mythic leader of a movement. Notable performances include eight tracks from the famous Live at the Rainbow recording (June 1977) and the early Wailer footage from The Old Grey Whistle Test recorded for the BBC in 1973 ("Stir It Up" and "Concrete Jungle"). They are simply hypnotic. The sound on the DVD, for the most part, is clear, crisp, and flawless ("Could You Be Loved" could have been touched up a little bit). A nice feature is the "playlist," allowing the viewer to play the videos in any order desired. All in all, a great package for a true legend. --Rob Bracco

From the back cover:
We remember the brilliant and evocative music Bob Marley gave the world; music that spanned nearly two decades and yet still remains timeless and universal. Bob Marley and the Wailers worked their way into the very fabric of our lives. He was one of the most charismatic and challenging performers of our time. The Hon. Robert Nesta Marley O.M., the legend lives on.

Songs: Want More, Is This Love, Jamming, Could You Be Loved, No Woman No Cry, Stir It Up, Get Up Stand Up, Satisfy My Soul, I Shot the Sheriff, Buffalo Soldier, Exodus, Redemption Song, One Love/People Get Ready. Plus "Time Will Tell," a 90-minute cinematic biography celebrating the life and legacy of Bob Marley. Songs featured are "Concrete Jungle," "Them Belly Full," "Forever Leaving Jah," I Shot the Sheriff," "War," "Revolution," "Zimbabwe," and "Natural Mystic."

::::: what is happening at Jabiluka now ???

OLD article at /RENEGADE/ -

= lemme know if you know anything about this / i haven't checked, but will


not sleeping no way. not right now - sorry... maybe Friday is the day i am off? interesting you asking if i'd be in?
i have all that stuff i gotta take care of, but sleep keeps ending up the priority; and then: only once i can get it!
so we shall see how it goes. will call around noon or something.
does this sound like a blues song by any chance?

William Rivers Pitt | September 11 Revisited
truthout.org/docs_2005/091105A.shtml
William Rivers Pitt: Perhaps now that we have Iraq under our belt, perhaps now that we have Katrina under our belt, perhaps now that we have had a few unspeakably costly lessons on just how wretched, stupid, useless, blind, willfully ignorant, dangerous, petulant, frightening, narrow-minded, foolish and ultimately deranged this administration is, perhaps now we can look at September 11 for what it really was: just another Bush administration failure that came with another massive body count.

Norman Solomon | 9/11 and Manipulation of the USA
Traveling from New York City in late September 2001, on a pre-scheduled book tour, author Joan Didion spoke with audiences in several cities on the West Coast. In the wake of 9/11, she later wrote, "these people to whom I was listening - in San Francisco and Los Angeles and Portland and Seattle - were making connections I had not yet in my numbed condition thought to make: connections between [the American] political process and what had happened on September 11, connections between our political life and the shape our reaction would take and was in fact already taking. These people recognized that even then, within days after the planes hit, there was a good deal of opportunistic ground being seized under cover of the clearly urgent need for increased security. These people recognized even then, with flames still visible in lower Manhattan, that the words 'bipartisanship' and 'national unity' had come...

Amelie (2001)
Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain
Impish gamine Amélie (Audrey Tautou) lives alone and works in a café. When she finds a trove of toys hidden for 40 years behind a baseboard in her apartment, she's inspired to repatriate the items, an impulse of generosity that sparks more benevolent acts. A celebration of life, Amélie reminds us of the small wonders that abound around us … if only we paused to look.
Starring: Audrey Tautou, Mathieu Kassovitz, More
Director: Jean-Pierre Jeunet


& possibly As Good as It Gets (1997)
Chronic grouch and acerbic author Melvin Udall (Jack Nicholson) lives in an obsessive-compulsive fog, sidestepping sidewalk cracks and rigidly following his routine of daily breakfasts in the bistro where the only waitress he'll abide is stressed-out single mother Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt). But Melvin's structured world crumbles when his gay neighbor (Greg Kinnear) needs a dog sitter, and only longtime antagonist Melvin will fill the bill. …
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, Greg Kinnear, Cuba Gooding Jr., Skeet Ulrich

A review written for the Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange
by Virginia Wagner

In the fall of 1959, Alan Lomax traveled throughout the state of Mississippi and recorded the songs contained on Volume 3 of the Alan Lomax Collection: Southern Journey. Calling it "the land where blues began," he recorded the various styles of African-American music he found there in the 1930s. Discovering a wellspring of musical talent, he returned several times over the next twenty years, visiting churches, picnics, penitentiaries and private homes so that these songs, and indeed, the musicians who sang and played them, would not be lost to time.
