Man, that was the best free show I've seen a good long while!! In fact, I woulda paid $12.50 (plus a service charge and other applicable fees) for that concert. As it was, all of my financial output that evening went toward the purchase of Bright Eyes' latest CD, "Fevers and Mirrors." I've only listened to maybe half of it, but I would recommend it highly. What do they sound like? Well, they're *kinda* NMH-ish, but I'd say there are also equal parts 16 Horsepower and, actually, Counting Crows, too. Vocally, in fact, Conor Oberst reminds me of what Adam Duretz might sound like if you had him sing while stripped down and submerged up to his waist in ice-cold water. But a lot of the melodies have that Counting Crowsy middle-America bittersweetness to them, too. Then again, a few of the songs have more of an Appalachian there's-a-gonna-be-a-hangin'-today quality. The lyrics are more straightforward than Mr. Mangum's, but there's definitely something about the way Oberst presents them that conjures up NMH for me. Anyway, I must thank Jeannine heartily for mentioning the gig last night. It was a great show (so damn good that I didn't even bother staying to see the Minders, who I figured wouldn't be anywhere near as fulfilling), and "Fevers and Mirrors" is almost sure to become one of my favorite albums of the year.

Portland gets a pretty wide range of movies shown here (sure, it could be better, but it could also be tons worse), so I'm always pretty aware of the fact that I'm aking a conscious choice to go see a basically mindless Hollywood movie (like "The Whole Nine Yards") when I could be seeing a good indie film instead. But, just as often as not, I look to visual media as a means of mindless entertainment. Like bazillions of people, I find it makes for a good distraction. But viewers like myself are balanced out by those who never watch TV and who choose to mostly see what they believe will be quality films. This has been the case for ages now and will probably continue to be the case. I think awards (and awards shows) should just be taken for what they are. I mean, the Oscar's are a big, bloated, silly Hollywood party, and the awards given there are a reflection of the kinds of films the average American (or maybe the American filmgoer in the 70th percentile) likes to watch. If that kind of a scene doesn't represent your kind of a crowd, then go to Sundance or read about Cannes or whatever. Sure, you *could* bitch about the Oscar's or the Grammy's or the Emmy's (now don't you be sayin' one bad thing about the Tony's!! ;-)), but wouldn't you just be lowering yourself to their base and shallow level?

(even granting that the director is often unable to make the picture he or she had intended, or that the studio often won't allow the director's intended picture to be released.) futhermore, if by "virtuoso", you mean something akin to "flashy", then, i don't necessarily consider *that* a criterion of quality directing. a criticism often leveled at the coens is that their pictures are all style and no substance. well, i don't, of course, agree with this criticism. but we can certainly identify directors who are very good at making one *notice* what's on screen, but not always so good at telling the story. oliver stone and spike lee come to mind. all things being equal, . but all things are not equal. all movies do not have a gargantuan advetising budget, a burger king merchandising arrangement, and a 3,000 screen opening. take Wild Wild West. i *literally* don't think i heard of *anybody* liking the movie. yet it grossed over $100 million. *not* because "the people" liked it, but because it had saturated the culture to such an extent that it was able to mount a huge opening. after the first week end, its grosses fell drastically, and it was probably history before labor day. but it still outgrossed Lone Star (to take an example of a movie which played in seattle -- on one screen -- for close to a year) by (i'm guessing) 20 to 1. so which was the more "popular" movie? the one that generated such great word-of-mouth, or the one with the forty gajillion dollar studio behind it? i thought you were the guy that said "*i like people*" ("one of those *impassioned* posts")? but now you're fairly slagging them. you really think people *want* junk? they actively seek it out? why would they? and note that i don't think anybody's saying a movie has to be bergman, or else it isn't any good. i mean, christ, the coens aren't "deep". they don't make you "think", for the most part. they're just flat-out entertaining. i'll take The Big Lebowski over The Seventh Seal any day of the week. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2000 18:32:30 -0500 (EST) From: Christopher Gross Subject: Re: ebdaddy all over the world On Thu, 30 Mar 2000, CORNHOLE ARMAGEDDON wrote: > > > i thought you were the guy that said "*i like people*" ("one of those > *impassioned* posts")? but now you're fairly slagging them. Hey, he can like people while still acknowledging their annoying little foibles. No contradiction at all. Now if he said "people *only* like trash," that would be slagging. > you really > think people *want* junk? they actively seek it out? why would they? Dunno what the Quail thinks, but I'd say most peole want the maximum entertainment for the minimum effort, including mental effort. All of us do sometimes; lots of people seem to never want anything else. And let's face it, there is a certain pleasure in seeing the same plot and characters you've seen a thousand times before. It's like going to McDonald's: it might be crap, but you can go into any McDonald's in America and know exactly what you're going to get, with no surprises. That's important to a lot of people. Of course that's just one reason why people accept ("seek out" might be too active a term) junk. Another reason is that big explosions, sappy fairytale romances and gratuitously exposed breasts are fun that everyone can understand, while intelligent characters and plots might be more of an acquired taste.

I'm not sure that the director is responsible for assembling the cast and crew. There are stacks of credits for people like 'Assistant Casting Director' who do that sort of thing. And quite often a director is taken off a project and replaced by another one. In the old Selznick / Thalberg days, there was no question about the director being top dog - the producer selected the story, cast, script etc, while the director just controlled the actual shooting process. And even then the producer would have control over the rushes and could order retakes. I think that the 'Cahiers' view of the director as auteur just doesn't represent the reality of most movies - particularly big-budget films. The scriptwriter, photographer and set designer are all really important too. But because of the star system, no-one likes to think of films as collaborations - they love to present them as one person's "vision". - - Mike "Nodder" Godwin PS And if it's a Harryhausen film, the only credit you need is for the Super-Dynamation ... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2000 10:59:22 -0500 (EST) From: Bayard Subject: Secret password for those Robyn MP3s I mentioned Whoops!

Also, I didn't include "Compilation" in the query I was using to begin with, so in addition to those two you'd have to include "Kung Fu Fighting" (from Alvin Lives (at Leeds)) and also "Day in the Life" (from "Thank You Bob!", a record I know absolutely nothing about).
