Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson are rare talents. It's obvious when someone has a real love and respect for their craft and their peers. I also enjoyed the tip of the hat to The French Connection that Don mentioned. These guys now have three successful features and a style all their own at age 30. That's pretty remarkable. For what it's worth I loved all three films and I respectfully disagree that they were too clever or pretentious (I don't recall the exact criticisms). I think I've read that Rushmore star (and FF Coppola nephew) Jason Schwartzman is in a band...anyone heard them? I can't let an opportunity to talk about the Coens on my fave e-list slide either. I just saw The Man Who Wasn't There. Another in a long list of terrific films by those guys. I think Joel Coen already ranks among the greatest directors. That movie along with Raising Arizona, Blood Simple and Fargo are IMO instant classics and they have about a half dozen other solid efforts. I don't think they've hit a speed bump yet though personally I wasn't crazy about O Brother (loved the tunes tho'). A little plug for horror fans... I came across a site with a ton of great clips.

I thought it was the quirkiest comedy I'd seen since, I don't know, Harold And Maude or something. In fact, the "love story"- love triangle part of the movie, btw, between Max (Schwartzman) and an older teacher and Bill Murray made for the movie's funniest moments. But, subsequent viewings of Rushmore haven't held up as well, and I can now see why other people think it's boring, dull, etc.. Still, you have to give Wes Anderson the credit for at least *trying* to make an original movie, which is very very hard in my opinion (I'm trying to write a screenplay right now, and I'm finding it's difficult writing scenes that haven't been done before). I actually wanted to see The Royal Tenenbaums last night, but the two people I was with roped me into seeing Black Hawk Down. Wow. Talk about a downer!! > I think I've read that Rushmore star (and FF Coppola nephew) Jason > Schwartzman is in a band...anyone heard them? He's in Phantom Planet, who have released at least one album (on Geffen). > I can't let an opportunity to talk about the Coens on my fave e-list slide either. > I just saw The Man Who Wasn't There. I also love the Coen Bros., particularly their earlier movies where the quirkiness of the characters, the tracking camera shots and other oddities seemed fresh and not contrived. I'm not a huge fan of The Man Who Wasn't There, but I appreciate that they have the power to be able to make a modern attempt at classic Film Noir, even though it wasn't a successful attempt IMO. Maybe I'll like it more when it hits the satellite or cable TV in a few months.

But, yeah, how great of a comedy can you expect from the director of "Rocky" and "The Karate Kid. Also, Belushi was originally cast as the obnoxious neighbor but he and Aykroyd decided to switch roles before filming started.>> This is why I love this movie, and one of the primary reasons I think it works. Reverse casting. Belushi, usually the obnoxious, in your face guy is the square and Akroyd is great as the obnoxious neighbor. The "coffeee scene" alone always has me in stitches.

I have it on a CD "20 Great Hits of the 60's" and was shocked I've got it on These Cat's Ain't Nothin' But Trash, an album from around 1983 which also has tracks by Thee Milkshakes and The String Rays. I don't know if it is on CD or not but as Mike runs a company these days which produces CDs, including the design and printing of the inserts, I wouldn't be surprised to find that it is available on CD. The Cannibals are still going by the way. They play at the Dirty Water Club around once a year and are generally terrible (see pictures of them at http://www.dirtywaterclub.com). However, they played last week at the Club for Losers in Soho and were really good. Mike is still very passionate about the music and apart from still playing the occasional gig with the Cannibals, is working on getting a radio show started and also is volunteering his time to print the new issue of Shindig! magazine at minimal cost. He's a good bloke, even if a bit OTT and hyperactive at times! If you have cable/satellite tv then look out for a show called Roadies on a channel called UK Horizon. One episode follows Mike from his home, picking up the gear and band members and turning up to play a show at the Dirty Water Club, only to be upstaged by the support band, The Parkinsons. Mike's totally embarrassed by the tv show but it is great fun. He was also the subject of a documentary a year or two back on, I think, Channel 4. (Steve Coleman, you have it on video so tell us about it. And, by the way, I want to see it again cos I have to interview Mike for a magazine in the next couple of weeks.) If you get in touch with me off list, Mark, to remind me then I'll find his email address and website for you (which, for some reason, are on my computer at work and not on my computer here at home).

Well, first - I am certain that he told me they were on Mercury - so it probably was the Pilgrimage... second - he told me he still has all the original acetates of the stuff they put out and wouldn't mind hearing from someone who wants to re-release it. I have his e-mail address at home. If you mail me off list, I'll send it to you!

"Sixteen > Tambourines" was great. As was Baroque Hoedown. But 16 Tambourines remains my favorite 3 O'Clock record. "Jetfighter" still gets me revved up. In my first year of teaching ('95-'96), I was still green enough to be willing to monitor Saturday detention. (Trust me, the extra $64 pre-tax is NOT worth getting up early on a Saturday morning to watch teenagers for 3 hours.) Anyway, the kids get a break about halfway through. So we turned on the tube to MTV. For some reason, they were doing something on fighter pilots or something... And what was being used as the soundtrack? Yep. And the kids thought it was a pretty cool song, too. "Arrive Without Traveling" was pretty > good too.

I'm with you on AWT, but while Ever After might've been "adequate" for its time, I can't see myself ever listening to it now. In 1988, I detested > "Vermillion." I still detest "Vermillion" to this day. Me, too. It wasn't worth the two bucks I paid. > Although I always thought that the Long Ryders sounded way > too country at times, they were an energetic paisley underground > power pop band. I like "Native Sons." I really liked these guys. My favorite song was probably "Tell It To The Judge On Sunday", but there were a bunch more I really loved, too. From their slightly later material, I was a big fan of "Looking For Lewis & Clark". - - Blair ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Jan 2002 18:16:06 -0800 (PST) From: ed flynn eDz SoNiC sPaCe Subject: 'slacker' Re: plotless flicks - --- Euphorik6@aol.com wrote: > "slacker" is totally plotless...great movie, too. Plotless, but a montage of individual portraits/scenarios connected in some way. I found this film very interesting as it really focused on specific characters and their own little trip, much like real life. - --ed ===== http://www.wpkn.org __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Jan 2002 19:34:38 -0800 (PST) From: karl roper Subject: Re: what's the big deal with rushmore?

A police spokesman said on Monday the 47-year-old musician from Primrose Hill, north London, was charged with possession of a firearm or imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence. "He is also being charged with criminal damage and one charge of actual bodily harm on a man in his forties," the spokesman added. The charges relate to an alleged incident at a north London pub on Saturday night. The star, whose real name is Stuart Goddard, was bailed to appear in court on January 18. Adam Ant, currently on the comeback trail, has been planning a national tour in April. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Jan 2002 22:48:36 EST From: NankerPhlg@aol.com Subject: Gary Zekley What year did Gary Zekley die?
