So, would you say Live Freaky! Die Freaky! is worth buying? I’ve been looking to get it, but want to know before I go to too much trouble. I love Mechanical Man.

BTW, you spelled Billie Joe’s name wrong. It’s ‘ie’ instead of ‘y’.

Love the line about Malick’s “tone poems”… articulately captured.

And the last line about the fuk’n “Colors of the Wind” song had me in stitches. A girl I was dating made me go see that piece of shite in the theater, and brown was the only color of wind blowing from that screen.

Why would you think that, Pat? They’ve always been okay with such language — name-calling, finger-pointing, and profanity are part an parcel of its style, with the caveat that there needs to be something substantive beneath it. Certain editors may think it’s excessive in certain contexts, but here I was glad to see there was no issue.

The New YORK Times is another story.

just curious Luke – I thought the new times didn’t go for allowing “fucking” as an emphatic adjective in their reviews – is that normal now?

(I know its normal on here)

If you only see one Colin Farrell movie this year… make it his sex tape. It’s some pretty glorious stuff… also shot with natural light, and with an inspired score by Digital Underground and the sounds of an episode of Judge Judy. “Yahr soo fahkin’ seck-see” is the new “You had me at hello.”

Hm. Nothing catches my eye too much here. I guess maybe The New World…
