Pi is really cool but I don't know about "one of the most amazing"... it sits a tier below movies like Eternal Sunshine / Fight Club / Blade Runner etc agreed. i wrote that after i watched it, so that moment it was "the most amazing". ive been quoted saying that about 'finding nemo'....but i have my reasons...  yay dory. |

"Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consimante professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself."

Pi is good indeed. I borrowed it from the library a couple of months ago.  |

I'm thinking of seeing Somersault, I absolutely loved Jindabyne. I want to see it again - even if it should be film format - does anybody else know much about this movie?
I saw a good movie on SBS a few months ago, Feeling Sexy. It was funny in it's own ways - and set in Brisbane! See, Brisbane isn't that crap!

I'll come see Somersault with ya Deane  I've got the soundtrack, you'll like it I think, it's by Decoder Ring. I've heard it's about a 16 year old girl trying to find herself and eventually running away from home. Apparently it focusses alot on the setting and environment, so that'll fill your Jindabyne needs as well |

Saw Ripley’s Game. Quite a good thriller. Better than the original even I think.

Mark, I also enjoyed Ripley's Game, as well as the Talented Mr Ripley. I think respectively that those are the fourth and first novels in the Ripley series, explaining the change from profoundly homosexual, smitten with envy Ripley, to confident, mischevious criminal mastermind Ripley.

I thought the movie (as any movie starring a combination of Kyra Sedgewick and Bridget Fonda) blew goats. The soundtrack on the other hand absolutely kicks arse: Would? - Alice In Chains Breath - Pearl Jam Seasons - Chris Cornell Dyslexic Heart - Paul Westerberg Battle Of Evermore - The Lovemongers Chloe Dancer / Crown Of Thorns - Mother Love Bone Birth Ritual - Soundgarden State Of Love And Trust - Pearl Jam Overblown - Mudhoney Waiting For Somebody - Paul Westerberg May This Be Love - Jimi Hendrix Nearly Lost You - Screaming Trees Drown - Smashing Pumpkins |
