Music & Movies

We rented The Pledge this w/e. A good but quirky movie with Jack Nicholson in a character part instead of just bein' Jack. Directed by Sean Penn with Mrs. Penn in the other lead role. It gets stupid towards the end but is definitely worth a look.

I saw Hedwig and the Angry Inch last night. It was good, unique, original, with lots of interesting music and storytelling. But I couldnt identify personally with the sex-change problems.

have any of you went and seen the new movie "The time machine" ?

How about A Beautiful Mind?

Didn't read too many good things about the time machine.

I heard it was average. I didnt see A Beautiful Mind. But surely it wasnt better than Moulin Rouge and Lord of the Rings and Amelie. Those three should have taken all the awards, IMHO.

Man, no good movies recently..

Blade 2 looks like a LOT of fun and reviewers are being very nice to it.
I hear Storytelling's pretty good and Stolen Summer's doing better than expected (anybody see project greenlight?). Ice Age looks funny, a great cast at least and good animation.
I also really want to see Monsoon Wedding, but that has narrower appeal.
Now if I could only find 2 spare hours to see one of these...
I'll probably miss them all.

Monsoon Wedding was wonderful. I loved it.

I just saw Metropolis, the new Japanese version. it was really good! It's all about a future in which robots/AI is a part of everyday life and has this crazy plot and it's really cool. You folks would probably like it.

Would our cybernetic counterparts enjoy it aswell?

Well, this version of Metropolis at least talks. Unlike the 1929 version.

LOL.. they just walked around and waved their arms?

Yeah, pretty much. And there were cards...
