Moonraker

I didnt like how that whole hanso foundation ended up being one big monster.com commercial.

Ok, so now it is official. 5 years is enough time to turn a national tragedy and thousands of deaths into millions in profits for the entertainment industry.

Correction. Just won free tickets to see Pearl Jam on the 15th, so I will be going on that date instead of the 16th.

I think I'm just going to post my entire list of concerts I want to hit this summer. Most of these shows I already have tickets to. 05/26 - Ministry 05/31 - Arctic Monkeys, We Are Scientists 06/08 - Every Move A Picture 06/10 - BFD 2006: AFI, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Strokes, HIM, Franz Ferdinand, Every Move A Picture, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Yellowcard, Panic!

Is it Ronnie Montrose? I didn't even know if he was still alive to be honest. Yup, still alive and kicking. It actually looks like tonight they are playing in NYC. Pulled this list of tourdates off ronniemontrose.com May 27th St. Louis, MO American Rib May 20th Annapolis, MD Rams Head Tavern May 19th Ridgefield, CT The Ridgefield Playhouse May 18th New York, NY B.B. King Blues Club & Grill Also looks like earlier this year, they played a number of bars in the east bay.

Going to see the Lovemakers (for the 6th time) at Bimbo's 365 tonight. First time going to this club, so it should be interesting.

Was more interested in Robin Williams' role. (And he was brilliant.) The film itself turned out to be one of the best I have ever seen. Airplane! - How can anyone not love this big ball of goofiness? Monty Python And The Holy Grail - Pure classic What Dreams May Come - Emotionally powerful and philosophically deep. Robin Williams' finest performance. The World According To Garp - I love Robin in his more serious roles, and this one moves me to tears every time. i'm glad you appreciate robin williams serious roles. i cringe every time he does a movie like flubber or ( ) R.V. the world according to garp and what dreams may come are both great movies with fantastic performances by williams. airplane and holy grail are absolute comedy classics. since i like your tastes, i'll have to check out the house of d. Speaking of his serious roles, I really liked his performance in One Hour Photo as well. Definatly played the creepy obsessive guy with a human touch. Mark Romanek is just a damn fine director too though.

Scraped idea for the new X-men movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzrWNH3i5i0...rtoon%20episode

Of all the new cast, I'm most excited about seeing Juggernaut. I used to watch that campy Saturday morning cartoon X-men tv show over a decade ago and I remember a show with him fighting. Wow, I might actually go see this movie, I havent done that in soo long.

Boring night tonight, Tomorrow though I will be seeing CygnusX1Bk-2's Rush Tribute band Trilogy in Concord, CA.

That guy was always my favorite villain, I would like to see how his character plays out in this movie. Now they only need to introduce Remy LeBeau into the movies. Maybe make one final X-Men with Apocolypse or something.

Is that Juggernaut I am seeing in the commercials?? I might have to break my streak of not having seen any movie in the theatres since Return Of The King for this one.

QUOTE (Nunavuter @ May 8 2006, 07:48 PM) Yes. But Netflix involves the mail system and all that. And downloading is more convenient, especially if the store closed at 11 PM and you are bored at 2 AM and you could just grab a movie immediately. The pricing just has to find its right level. That would be the case if you had a lightning fast internet connection. Most movies are in the hundreds of mb range and would take hours to dl im betting, unless you are connected with an insanely fast internet provider.

QUOTE (kazzman @ May 5 2006, 02:33 PM) I'm completely addicted to As I Am, Panic Attack and The Root of All Evil. I take back everything I said about DT in the past. Call me a hippocrite or a traitor if you like, but I'm really digging these guys now. Theres something I never thought I would hear..... I may take my umbrella to work tomorrow, dont want any pig droppings landing on my head.

And bought the 3rd Loop!Station cd at thier show opening for the Secret Machines last night. Now just to find a copy of the second, which they were sold out of.

A lot of the reality TV shows are staged. I remember watching that supernanny show and the wife swap once, and the testimonials the people were giving were so obviously scripted. Reality TV is the reason why I dont even watch TV anymore. There are so few creative ideas coming from Hollywood these days, both in movies and TV, I seriously hope something comes along one of these days and knocks some senses into the viewing public. (Shame on us for watching it)

Spent a bit of time thinking of this one, but I think I have a good list. No particular order. Deer Hunter Braveheart Gettysburg Monty Python & The Quest For The Holy Grail The Shining

Bond, James Bond.

Robert DeNiro is going to do well in this one and is my vote, but there are a lot of incredible choices in here. Mel Gibson, Morgan Freeman, John Malcovich are all great too.

Went with Christopher Walken, thought he was great in Deer Hunter and A View To A Kill. Really knows how to play a sinister bad guy.

QUOTE (tangdog @ May 5 2006, 09:24 PM) Just in from seeing Yngwie Malsteen at The Orange Peel in Asheville NC. The peel is an awesome venue and I was second row the majority of the show. In all honesty, I have never been a huge fan of Yngwie. Last night I learned that Derek Sherinian ( ex DT/ current planet x member) was playing the keys this tour so I deceided to go. The opener was Orange Sky, who are from Trinidad. These guys were better than expected with a metal/reggae vibe. Kinda a Bad Brains sound, but with much better vocals. ( not a poke at the Brains but this guy really has an excellent voice ) As expected Yngwie ripped it a new one. It really was quite impressive, in particular his acoustic work and classical material. I do not own any Yngwie and only recognized his covers of the Star Spangled Banner and Hendrix's Red House. I had never seen Sherinian live before and while he was never really given free reign to rip, his solos were killer. I had a coworker that said he was good in SF a few months ago.

I think you might like Nine Black Alps D-13. Definatly music to workout to.
