That's why I haven't posted for a while.... Shaz, that is AWFUL. I echo Stu's sentiments about the police. I would have been *wild* about getting back to the kids..... I'd also write the Bristol tourist promotion agency (government) and tell them exactly how you are going to describe the joys of a mini-break in Bristol to everyone within ear shot. People these days only listen to dollar signs, erm, pound signs? ;-) and if they treat their visitors poorly they will be even more of a potholed shithole than they already are (LOL).... no, I hear such differing things about the place that I can't say, but -- again, hit them in the pocket book. Civic pride the world over seems to have taken the back seat to the power of money. Many, many hugs for what was truly an unforgiveable experience and why some of us even into late-young-adulthood-early-middle- ageddom still DESPISE the pigs! You can play by the rules, be respectable and pay a shitload in taxes and still get screwed over. - --Amy ('look at all the little piggies...') ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2003 01:29:05 -0500 (CDT) From: Amy Moseley Rupp Subject: seven-seas OT: sorta film High Fidelity Okay, I've been crawling out from under my rock and tonight got to see High Fidelity along with a bit of The Young Ones (to be continued tomorrow). Anyway, I was shocked to see when they rolled credits that *RUSH* is on there for "Jacob's Ladder," which is mostly instrumental. I *know* I would have heard it if it'd been at all audible, so I went back and watched again and again because the credits were in chronological order -- "Jacob's Ladder" supposedly before the scene in which "Walking On Sunshine" is played. god, that song on a Monday morning would have me puking, but anyway....has anyone ever heard RUSH in this movie? I did like the Echo & The Bunnymen mention though I really don't think JAMC picked up "where your precious Bunnymen left off." Listened to an interview with Frears the director just a couple of days ago -- was very interesting. Hadn't a clue that _High Fidelity_ was done by a British director, but knowing that made me not surprised that Echo, Belle and Sebastian, Massive Attack, Stiff Little Fingers etc etc etc got mentioned in the film despite the fact that it is supposed to have taken place in Chicago. And now I also know the origin of SOB (sad old bastard) music.... Anyway if anyone remembers where/when in the heck Rush actually appears in the film I'd love to know. On imdb.com they are also listed with their legal as opposed to stage names given credit. - --Amy ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V2 #580 ********************************
