And I must say, I actually LIKE a few modern Disney flicks. "Little Mermaid" was terrific -- great songs, great movie. . . and "Beauty and the Beast" was pretty good, too. But "Aladdin" is my favorite. (I really like Tim Rice.) After that, well . . . "The Lion King" was a great job in terms of the plot and animation, but the music suffered from Elton John's lackluster score. And "Pocahontas" was the worst of the lot. But "Hunchback" was actually fairly decent -- terrible music, some dumbass comical characters, an unforgivable mutilation of the Hugo novel -- but the bad guy was pretty damn sinister, and there was some nicely done and fairly sexual adult themes. And I *really* liked "Hercules," which was fun, but again suffered from poor music. But the stylized animation of Hercules won me over -- as did the touches by Gerald Scarfe, the director, whose sinister Steadmanesque whoodlings* really brought some life to Hades. (Those first three -- Mermaid, Beast, Aladdin -- are still the best, though.). I confess I haven't seen "Mulan," because I was in the process of moving to New York, and seeing movies sort of passed me by. (Proof: I missed the "X-Files" in the theater, ferchrissake.) I am actually VERY excited to see "Prince of Egypt," as this looks like a more serious take on animation -- Disney minus the Disney, if that makes sense. . . . >but honestly, Watership Down (sing.) is not a patch on 'Snow White' or >'Dumbo'. I never saw 'LotR' (which is what I assume is meant by 'The >Hobbit') but I know I wouldn't have liked it. I take the controversial stance that "Lord of the Rings" was AMAZING, and I have defended it here before. Startling animation techniques, unusual score, brilliant characterizations of the players involved, gay hobbits . . . <-- this disturbed Eb, if I recall> >As far as recent movies go, no-one mentioned 'Wag the Dog', which I >thought was funny - Dustin Hoffman right on form; Umf. I though that movie was terrible. Utterly unbelievable, even for satire. The characters acted illogically given their developments (and the chick was just annoying!), the plot had too many holes and weird dicontinuities, and what the hell Levinson was doing with the camera -- ? Very inconsistent, I thought, but the acting was nevertheless superb. To be honest, I think Barry Levinson is one of the most overrated directors around. So "Rain Man" was a good movie, but what about "Sphere," "Toys," and "Wag the Dog?" I mean, he doesn't suck, but he's no Sam Raimi. - --Quail * Whoodlings . . . um, I just made that word up. PS: Robyn is musically not very political, and when he is, such as "President" and "Legalised Murder" I think he is out of his element; I lean a bit to the left but not so much that I don't often agree with Sam the Eagle; and my hair is the same as LJ's.

I do feel that as people have felt more estranged from religion, spirituality has leaked, for good and ill, into other concerns. Creativity and politics are the most obvious( would robyn add sexuality? ProBOBly(sorry)) Its funny, Im very much a practising Christian, but Im not at all offended by robyns anti-christian rants. for one thing, they're usually on the money. for another, they show how much he cares. to him, the exploition of humans under the guise of religion is an abomination, which , when you think about is, is a pretty religious attitude. He has the good grace to take the evils commited in the name of religion seriously. I have always found Robyns music to be filled with what I concieve of as spirtuality, even thou, dyslexic thinker that I am, I cant give you a precise definition of what I mean by that. He is alive to the immaterial world in a way few are. He specializes in the reconcilation of opposittes--a fleshead given to outofbody experiences. He believes in nothing(most especially himself), experiences everything, and decants it for us as the water of life. OK, I m getting carried away here. But at this time of turning--does anyone else know what Im talking about, and can they word it more clearly so I can understand it better? The Solistice might be a good time for 2 threads 1) How do we(Fegs) experience spirituality, and 2) How do we think Robyn does, and how do 1 and 2 relate.

On the other hand, I loved 'The Hobbit' came out in 1978, followed by 'Lord of the Rings', then 'Return of the King', which concluded what was left out of LotR.

It is kind of a gestalt thing. It may be that Robyn writes so obscurely that we attach too much of our own worldview into what he says, but strangely I feel like there is an undercurrent of his political/spiritual orientation in everything he does. It was quite refreshing to me to find out what his political views were, having made the correct assumptions about them already. I don't know if I can deal with questions 1 and 2 right now though. ;-) I'm supposed to be off today, but I'm working. At least I'm at home.

I tried to capture the text, but my connection was cut an instant before I tried. For the most part, the SonicNet hosts who were doing the interview sucked, and asked some pretty idiotic questions. Two things not mentioned in the subsequent SonicNet article: Robyn, typing from what he called his ``control room,'' said that a host of unreleased recorded material, including the Royal Albert Hall show, will be available at robynhitchcock.com in the relatively near future. He also said that ``Heartfull of Leaves'' was inspired by his Fylde guitar and that he was particularly proud of the song -- a fact I find pretty cool as this is one of my faves. Anyway, thought y'all might wanna know. Lookin' forward to checking out John Wesley Harding Monday at GAMH. I fade back.

My sandwiches are invariably comprised of: Brownberry 12 grain bread, Whole Foods natural smooth peanut butter (from bulk section), and Jewel brand strawberry jam. I know, I’m a jam philistine. So this morning, Dave mocks my barbarism and points out that he has about twelve different jams, jellies, compotes and preserves in the fridge and why don’t I avail myself of those? So, merely to shut him up, I stop in the middle of spreading strawberry jam on my bread and reconvene with his blackberry all-natural fruit spread. And let me tell you...it was delicious. I’m going to combine jams and jellies and preserves in all possible permutations from now on. But don’t listen to me... I also like peanut butter and syrup sandwiches.

Oh, man, don't run all over town! You can get Adam's No-Stir in either creamy or crunchy at Downtown Safeway on 10th & Jefferson. About fifteen blocks from your home and three from mine.

At one point this long grey haired fellow comes into a scene where a movie is being shot... one of the crew guys is playing with a guitar... not at all well, but it looks to be an expensive guitar (I say that because obviously they just told some extra to pretend like he was playing with this thing even though he had no business with a guitar on the set of this movie)... the grey haired guy says "Nice guitar... can I see it?" And he takes the guitar and sits in a chair... then (and this KILLED ME in the theater) REACHES BEHIND HIS CHAIR WITHOUT LOOKING and grabs one of those metal things that country guitar folk put on their finger for sliding up and down the board and starts playing a song. And he starts singing... and all the people stop and watch him... and then he is JOINED BY STRING ACCOMPANIMENT (ok, just on the audio track, nobody actually walks in with a violin). Oh, man... I think I wrote about this scene when I first saw the movie... but damn.

Quail, never mind Disney. Go out and find yourself something by Hayao Miyazaki. The master has allowed the lowly Disney company to dub, but not edit, his films. The first release is Kiki's Delivery Service. The version out now is dubbed and TV formatted, but there is a widescreen subtitled release due soon. You might also find My Neighbor Totoro and Warriors of the Wind (an edited version of Naussica of the Valley of Wind). Disney will be releasing new editions of these and all of Miyazaki's other films. Miramax is supposed to do a theatrical release of Miyazaki's latest, Princess Mononoke, sometime next year. The film is "too adult" to be released by Buena Vista.
