Actually, Dangerfield's been in three starring vehicles in the past ten years: "Ladybugs" (1992), "Meet Wally Sparks" (1997) and "My Five Wives" (2000). And then there's the lout he played in the "I Love Mallory" sequence in "Natural Born Killers." (1994) Saw the trailer once for "My Five Wives." It didn't look too promising.

Brian was wondering about the origins of the film clip at the beginning of Ghost World. It's from "Gumnaam", a rather amazing Indian musical from the mid-60's. It's worth owning for that scene alone!

Been checking out videos from a local Indian market for a while. My favorites are compliations featuring only the musical numbers by a particular playback singer (ie: the man or woman who dubs in the singing for the actor/actress appearing in the film) particularly Lata Mangeshkar or Asha Bhosle. Currently I'm looking for a film called 'Hunterwali' a sort of female Zorro with a whip. Which reminds me, can any UK bompers help me obtain installments of a documentary series produced by Channel 4 called 'Movie Mahal'? - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Leonard" To: Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 12:26 AM Subject: Ghost World's Indian musical clip (was Celluloid Love) > > > I'm just sifting through some older digests so this may have been > answered (or forgotten) already.

That's weird! According to my original manuscript, that sentence should read: "Unfortunately, in 1995, Gary Zekley died sadly young of a heart attack at the age of 53." I know a few odd things slipped in during the final layout, and this confusing remark is one of them. Something to fix for the 2nd edition--thanks for catching it!

I like the Lyres, Dead Moon, Flamin' Groovies, Real Kids, Pink Fairies, Sonic's Rendezvous, 13th Fl. Elevators and all kindsa other stuff. I'm looking for a guitarist, a bassist and a singer (or a g/b player who sings...) I'm old (36 - how many rock years is that?), experienced, jaded but nice and have very little ambition for "success", but I would like to make some records and play some fun gigs. I'm also a fag - hope y'all can deal. I'm looking for who can riff like Keef or Ike Turner and a bassist with a warm tone who knows what "low end" means (NO frustrated guitarists!) I like rockabilly, frat rock, blues, R&B and dig 70s bands like the Groovies and the Real kids who took the 50s/60s thing and amped it up. I'm into doing covers and originals. No posers, macho morons, junkies or mean people. cribu@earthlink.net ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2002 #32 **************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
