Out of all the skidillions of hours of commentary I've heard, however, I had never seen anything like the disclaimer Disney tacked on to "Nixon". When you choose the commentary from the menu, you are presented with this on your TV screen: "The views and opinions expressed in the following audio commentary are those of the individual speakers and do not represent the views and opinions of Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Inc. or any of its affiliated entities." You are then given the option to proceed and thrill to the sounds of Oliver Stone railing against various Watergate figures, OR you can actually turn back and forget the whole thing if you think there might be subpoenas and you don't want to get involved. I guess I sort of understand; it IS Oliver Stone, and he's certainly been known to make vaguely provocative comments now and then. But what I DON"T understand is why a similar disclaimer should appear on -- no kidding -- "The Emperor's New Groove"! What in the wide world of sports is Disney afraid of? It's a CARTOON, you chowderheads!! It's getting way too cautious out there. Tell you whut: let's all make disparaging remarks about those darn commie beatniks! Who wants to start?

If you're not concerned with stereo sound you can record mono and double that time. >>>>>>>>>>>> I'm not quite ready to upgrade to a new player (I'm very fond of my Sharp 722) but there are a couple of features on the new minidisc players that look like they'd make live recording even better. One is that the battery life has been going through the roof. Apparently you can now record for about 6-8 hours off of the internal rechargeable battery. 15-17 if you add double A's. More importantly, some minidisc players now incorporate two MP3-like modes called long play. I've only read about them, but the reviewers tend to agree that the higher quality mode sounds as good as a standard (is that 128kb?) MP3, and the lower quality mode sounds like crap. The high quality mode lets you record 160 minutes onto an 80 minute minidisc. Finally, rumor has it (I don't have enough experience to comment) that Sharps have better bass than other models. Aside from that, I read that the various models tend to sound the same, so it's best to choose on the basis of price/features. - --dana ------------------------------ Date: 17 May 2001 11:30:20 -0400 From: Dan Schmidt Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Summer Movies Aaron Mandel writes: | i'll be glad to drop hints if you name the locus(es) of your | confusion, but it's a pretty amorphous game, so there's no overall | advice. well, except to follow all the links and when all else | fails, check the source code of the page (which is unfortunately | really boring). there's a lot of text that seems to be just for | flavor, but we're finding more and more hints to future revelations | embedded in apparent dead ends.

Thanks to glenn (and somebody else, I think! Sorry, must have deleted it) for clearing this up. I'll revise my original question: What did the publisher hope to gain by omitting "Captain" in the U.S.? Us dumb Merkans, can no understand three-word title? I'm saddened to see glenn's synopsis of the film, which seems to confirm my worst expectations for what Hollywood would do with it. I'll give the novel an A- or four and a half stars or three popcorns or whatever. My sister Ki gave it to me for my birthday in 1998; it's her favorite novel ever. De Bernieres' Cephallonia becomes vividly etched in your mind, its natural splendor and idyllic setting rivaled only by Pelagia herself; every character is well-drawn and memorable; and the first two-thirds of the novel sweeps you off your feet as you succumb to the charms of the prose and the place. In fact, you're so charmed that when de Bernieres drops the hammer (I won't say where or when, for potential film- and movie-goers), you're completely crushed. I know that when I read the book and got to that part, I was sobbing unreservedly, more so than I'd ever done as a consequence of reading a novel. Which, I think, is de Bernieres' point, to charm you in order to make you feel the losses that deeply. My only two quibbles with the book are a severe dislike of the first-person historical-figure chapters -- first-person stream-of-consciousness inside Mussolini and Metaxas' minds, which not only rupture the flow of the novel, but the writing becomes jarringly bad and unfunny (the Mussolini chapters, at least, are supposed to be black comedy), exponentially worse than any of Dr. Iannis' false starts on the history of Cephallonia -- and the feeling that, well, Corelli wouldn't have done what de Bernieres has him do immediately after the end of the war. None of this should stop anyone from reading the book, because its delights far outweigh its foibles. (I've never followed up with de Bernieres' Latin American trilogy. Maybe I'll do that, since it'll be next year before George R. R.

When I first heard of the book, I assumed it had something to do with Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713), one of the interchangeable composers of the High Italian Baroque along with Torelli, Locatelli, and Vivaldi. I avoided it for some time due to this misconception; which was silly, because I enjoyed the book very much.

Us dumb Merkans, > can no understand three-word title? My first guess is that it has to do with marketing (actually, those are also my second through thirty-seventh guesses inclusive). But more specifically...how about: they thought people would think "Captain Corelli" was either a military book or an adventure-type thing? (In this scenario, potential readers have no idea what a "mandolin" is - uhh...a super-secret weapon? a type of orange?) Mebbe they thought "Corelli's Mandolin" would better suck in the Europhiles - although it risks being misfiled deep in Arts-Crafts-Woodworking: Luthiers or something. Perhaps it was the same geniuses who imagined that "Viking-Penguin" is a good name for a publisher... "Suavely fingering the safety on his mandolin, Captain Corelli grinned rogueishly at the slim young luthier, her auburn tresses glinting in the Venetian moonlight like the silver daggers he'd hurl unhesitatingly at her rivals. With the razor-sharp nails of one hand, slim, long, as if from the paintings of Mandoliniani, the luthier, Mandolin de Clevagio by name, skillfully peeled the skin of an exotic orange. Its acrid scent wafted through the humid, twilit Meditteranean air, seabreeze with a hint of some far port of call. 'It's a mandolin,' she smiled as its juices flowed down her delicate fingers and fell kissingly upon her nut-brown breasts, 'Would you like a slice?' 'Oh, I really shouldn't,' Corelli replied. 'I'm Catholic, and you're a luthier.'" - --Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society www.uwm.edu/~jenor/ADS.html ::As long as I don't sleep, he decided, I won't shave. ::That must mean...as soon as I fall asleep, I'll start shaving! __Thomas Pynchon, VINELAND__ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 May 2001 19:01:45 -0400 From: "glenn mcdonald" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] [NS] Corelli (very slight spoilers with no spoiler space) > (I've never followed up with de Bernieres' Latin American trilogy.

How on earth did he become one of the most popular recording acts? He's only an average singer, his looks certainly aren't throbworthy (god, I hope not), as a lyricist he's plenty bland, his tunes are strictly serviceable, the arrangements and production on his songs are utterly generic and interchangeable with millions of other singers' (with better looks and better pipes) - and his sole talent, playing the drums, is one that gets zero display on his popular tracks - and I'll bet your average 43-year-old office manager who dotes on his records has no idea he even plays the drums. I tend to be agnostic, but I'm drawn inescapably to the same conclusion as the Louvin Brothers: Satan is real - and Phil's got the carbon copy contract to prove it. Also, I was frightened at the mall to observe a restaurant in the food court which had posted its "mission statement" behind the counter. I can't imagine that anyone eating at a mall food court could give .035 of a rat's ass about a food counter's "mission statement" - stuffing face is the sole mission they're interested in - but worse yet, said "mission statement" promised that the vendor in question would "aggressively serve" its customers.

It's a mystery It has come to our attention that once again, rat's asses have been spoken of in a disparaging tone. We at the Rat's Ass Council would like you to rethink your position on rat's asses, and consider giving rat's asses on many festive occasions. Birthdays, baby and wedding showers, holidays, new jobs or promotions - all can be immeasurably improved by the thoughtful and delightful gift of a genuine rat's ass. Our rats are raised in the most caring and gentle circumstances, and our special ass groomers spend hours each day clipping and grooming, bathing and massaging our rats' asses so that when that order comes in for an absolutely special rat's ass, we'll be ready. (As a side note: would whoever borrowed our surgical scalpel please return it. De-assitating rats is quite difficult using the paper cutter.)
