How are you finding her music?

GangstaFam said:

I'm really into it, actually. I never really gave her much of a chance because I thought I'd get really tired of her voice after about 15 minutes. But the vast array of sounds in her music, the beats, and the really unique brilliant lyrics have really gotten my attention. And I've found that I love about every song I've heard of "Volta" as well.
I've been listening to about 5 songs from each of her albums, but all on shuffle so I don't know the new from the old. Plus, I keep finding stuff by her and adding it into the shuffle. I don't want to start listening to her albums until the songs become more familiar all mixed up randomly like this. It's been cool.

Awesome. I love cross-pollenization.

Ok, I just finished "Pan's Labyrinth." Awesome film. I loved it. Except for one thing: Why the friggin' fuck did the bitch eat the grapes? If I had an answer to that question, the movie would be alot better.
All things considered, though, I loved it. Pan himself was great, and the eyes-in-his-hands dude was scurrry.

There have only been a few movies that have done that to me..."Kids" was one of them..."American Beauty" was another (Snakepeel (aka Case) and I sat in the theater parking lot bawling our eyes out).


I still need to see "Pan's Labyrinth"

Honestly, I've shed a few tears in a few films. "Old Yeller." "The Color Purple." Whatever.
But NOTHING made me absolutely break down and cry except for the series finale of "Six Feet Under." I was alone, probably a little high, and I bawled until my face was raw and I was exhausted. And I didn't even like the show all that much. But the last few episodes, then that last montage when they showed the deaths of all the main characters...

Xagain said:

I never watched that show, but that sounds like a really hardcore, powerful ending.

applekisses said:

American Beauty left me completely altered. It was like somebody took my brain and shook it really hard and put everything back together but it didn't quite fit right. I still think about that plastic bag.

I haven't seen Pan's Labyrinth either.

I do too.

And, I had a similar experience...and I want to believe it's a good thing...but, man...was it difficult.

dear god, that sweater...that jacket...the 80s were not kind...

Anxiety said:

I had that same hairstyle

Xagain said:

She didn't believe Pan. You know how kids are. "Damn those grapes look good. How's he gonna know if I took one anyway?"

Anxiety said:

She looks like Michael J. Fox in that photo.

applekisses said:

That's probably why she was cast as Alex Keaton's girlfriend on Family Ties.

When I saw Dancer in the Dark the entire theater was packed, not an empty seat, and near the end when they are getting ready for the hanging and the phone rings (to see about a pardon?), the jail officer who answered said something like, "Houston we have a problem." (I can't remember the exact line.) To me that line seemed so corny that I laughed out loud! I felt bad, but that line was so ridicuously out of place that the laugh just slipped out.


I'm a cold-hearted bitch, I know. Whaddaya gonna do?

It's really sad that you remember that

I was a total TV junkie in the 80s--especially on Thursday nights watching NBC: Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers, Night Court, L.A. Law. For three hours straight I was glued to the tube. TV sucks now. I watch the same amount of network programming in a week that I did back then on that one night.
