I see a film with a very long and relevant scene about Joni Mitchell, I rush home full of excitement to do my JMDL duty and report on it, and nobody seems to have anything to say about it! Sorry if this sounds churlish and childish and selfish, but it's not about me. I really thought JMDLers would be interested in this. Am I really the first one who has seen this film, so that there is nobody to join in the comments? If it has been discussed before, then I must have missed it (though I do try not to miss any posts) and I would appreciate being told where to find those posts. On purpose, I did not give too many details of the plot in order not to spoil it for people who still want to see it, but I would have loved to have had some discussion - either in "coded" language or with a spoiler alert or off-list - - with anyone else who has seen it. Wondering if Facebook has eaten up this discussion list, Lieve in London - ----- Original Message ---- From: Lieve Reckers To: jonilist JMDL Sent: Tue, 2 November, 2010 20:15:09 Subject: Huge Joni reference in film "The Kids are Alright" (Re-sending in plain text, hoping to improve the format. Sorry for the repetition, I hope the improvement is worth it!) Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but in that case I missed it, and I just had a great Joni moment in the cinema so I feel I have to report it! My youngest son had come down for the day, and it has become a bit of a tradition then to go and see a film in the afternoon. Well the choice was limited: some action and horror films, and then "The Kids are Alright" with Julianne Moore and Annette Bening, so that's what we went to see. It wasn't exactly on my "must see" list because I expected something much more predictable, but I thought it would be interesting enough to give it a go. (In short the plot for those who don't know: the teenage children of a lesbian couple decide to trace their sperm donor "father".) My ears already pricked up when I heard that the 18-year old daughter was called Joni. Then at a very crucial scene (I won't go into detail for those who still want to go and see the film) one of the "2 mothers" looks through the "sperm donor's" record collection (yes, a good old vinyl collection as well!), and she picks out Blue and the camera zooms in on it. Then follows a conversation about how these main characters love Joni Mitchell, how the girl was named after her, how their favourite album is Blue, etc. They list several of the songs and then Annette Bening sings almost the whole of All I Want. It is a very emotional bonding moment in the film's narrative, I have never heard Joni Mitchell mentioned in such a meaningful way in any film before more (meaningful than in Love Actually). I also had a giggle when someone said: "You must be one of the very few non-gay guys who likes Joni" - or something of that ilk. My son sat grinning through the whole scene, expecting me to join in with the singing at any moment. I thought it was a very good, finely observed and superbly acted film. Lesbians may not like one particular part of the story (again I won't mention it, to avoid spoiling it for anyone) but I think that most of them will be quite happy, given the context and rationale of that aspect. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has seen this film, and to find out what they thought, and if they enjoyed the Joni surprise as much as I did.

I did months ago when the film first opened here in the States. It got a few responses then. Unfortunately, the film got good reviews but few movie ticket buyers and did not do well here, less than eighteen million dollars total domestic gross. I sure hope it is doing better in the overseas market, but somehow I doubt it. A real shame because it is a wonderful movie.

Sounds like fun! Bob, do you use archive.org to find live covers? I just did a search of Phish and didn't come up with anything but your find of Keller Williams doing A Case of You was there. I also found Joni's performance at the Gene Autry Museum (one of my favorites) here: http://www.archive.org/details/Joni_Mitchell_at_Wells_Fargo_Theater_Los_Angeles_1995 This is a great site. I spend a lot of time there listening to Umphreys McGee!!! :-) Thanks for all your work. I'm so glad you had that burning question about Hejira. What would we be without you? Take care, Sue - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 1:10 PM To: Robert Sartorius Cc: joni@smoe.org Subject: Isomorphic Mapping? Sounds like fun! Thanks for the positive vibe, Bob. Les has enabled the Joni Undercover site to include the compilation CD they are included on, but it is only visible to me. Way back when, when the database was resident on jmdl.com as opposed to jm.com, the entries did state which volume they were included on, with a disclaimer that the compilation cd's were not for sale and were for data collection only. Les was fearful that someone would see these songs being potentially redistributed without proper compensation taking place. Therefore, that data is no longer publically available. Having said all that, almost everything makes the cut. Firstly, if it's officially released, on vinyl, cassette, or CD it gets included. Period. Unreleased audio from videos, myspace pages, audience recordings CAN be included if it meets one or more of the following criteria: 1. The performance and audio quality is very high. 2. The performer in question is significant, even though the audio quality may be lacking (Marianne Faithfull's "Amelia" and Jeff Buckley's "People's Parties" immediately spring to mind. Sometimes we get lucky and hit all cylinders; Phish recently covered "Free Man In Paris" live. I'd be interested in that even if the quality was so-so, but in this case the track sounds great and they do a solid performance of the song, so you have that to look forward to. If they don't make the cut I don't include them in the database; to do so would overly dilute the important statistics that ARE there. I'm very proud of the work I've done and also proud that the resource has been used in several books about Joni and her music. To have led the charge in this endeavor (with the help of lots and lots of great folks) and contributed to Joni's artistic legacy is really something. And to think, back in 1997, all I wanted was to talk to someone who thought (like I did and do) that Hejira was an underappreciated masterpiece.

I'm too cheap to pay for movie tickets and can't stand the smell of popcorn and the sticky floors. Yes, I'm a grouch. Didja notice? Sorry but it grosses me out the way people spend ridiculously inflated prices for super-size jumbo humungous snacks and drinks to stuff their faces with in the dark. My daughter did see the film at the cinema and didn't like it much (I don't remember why), but immediately told me about the Joni reference, so I have influenced her after all. That was probably after someone had mentioned it here, so I probably didn't mention it on list. I don't think Facebook is eating the jmdl. It's a completely different medium. I don't find it useful for discussions, the way the jmdl is. Maybe that's just me being old-school, but I prefer the type of discussion list that the jmdl is. Facebook is a good way to share photos and to make witty comments (so much pressure there, though!) and to play time-wasting games but I don't get much more out of it than that. - ----- Original Message ---- > From: Lieve Reckers > To: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com > Cc: jonilist JMDL ; notaro@mail.usf.edu > Sent: Thu, November 4, 2010 8:14:16 AM > Subject: Re: Huge Joni reference in film "The Kids are Alright" > > Thanks Bob and Jerry, > and no really, I did not take it personally, I thought I > explained that!

Oh well, Joni is ultimately forgivable...hey I just wonder how her objection to being seen as a superhuman fits into all of this??...she seems to think that she has been revered and uplifted to a a ridiculous extent...Hmmm, I do wonder...I donbt think I would have objected to being seen as a phenomenon....: how can Joni not have an inner sense of her own sacredness......maybe she is aware that everything is?...oh, well,...the mysteries of individuality... Lieve, I am distressed for you at no-one responding to your movie experience: it seems like it would be such a nice conjuring up of joni magic for the bblueb to have been the pivotal piece, plus the daughter named joni.....I have thought of joni writing that song blue with a blue-eyed daughter in mind....it all seems quite romantic....And I might just look for that movie next time I take out a dvd...on your recommendation (of course I may side with lesbians about that one part of the story). I recall , by the way, reading an excerp here on JMDL, and have searched back but it mustbve been before loading my new operating system) of Joni, presumably, writing a piece about dark or intense emotions involving her daughter....there was something suggestive of passion about it....dare i say it (or did she?)...It would be great to see that writing again. (Here I am encouraged by Janis Ianbs words band I spit in the eye of safe companyb). Em, I thought you might have just been voicing what I think about CDbs generally: that their depth of sound is not as evocative as one got on a record...But when i mentioned this to someone before they basically said that the whole of Europe thinks like this (that 50% of sales there were still vinyl)...Maybe Ibm just displaying ignorance here, of that and of your email, but what I am quite sure of is that I prefer the sound on vinyl and tape to that of a cd, any cd.
