I'm a big French movie addict, but saw the film before I heard LG so it didn't strike me. I will have to look at it again. When the Cat's Away is enjoyable without being truly wonderful. See Eric Roehmer's Boyfriends/Girlfriends for a super French film. It has my moneyback guarantee. - ------- The Ectophile's Guide to Good Music: http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide/ - ------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe sycophant If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of computers, they would all get AOL accounts and send unsub messages to the list address.

I'm sure I will now get flamed, as I did for my mellencamp comments a while back. I just happen to think that CDs cost enough; we should, as consumers, get more out of them than cynical calculation, pandering, and (in Alanis's case) truly bad grammar and worse singing. Whatever else you can say about mellencamp, he knows how to use a dictionary. >> Well Mr. Mellencamp is brilliant plain and simple. Okay Alanis isn't but there are FAR worse bands to pick on, and plenty of em'. Just tune into your local alternative corporate rock station. It's ALL garbage. I still think she is better than any other female in that genre. I'm only sticking up for her, because I normally DESPISE anything even remotely similar to that style of music, but she has some tolerable songs. I'm more into classic rock, jazz, blues, speed and thrash metal, and punk. whatever. - ------- The Ectophile's Guide to Good Music: http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide/ - ------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe sycophant If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of computers, they would all get AOL accounts and send unsub messages to the list address.

I'd LIKE to agree, but where Lisa writes all of her own songs, Alanis just made up some words to go with songs written by whatsisname, used to play in the Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction. Dave Navarro! THAT'S his name! So yeah, not exactly the same thing. God help me I DO like some of her (their) songs, though (but damn it, NONE of that stuff is ironic -- it's all just depressing, but NOT ironic).

But I forget, what was your stance on the Mellencamp thing, again? I can't remember if I was backing you up or not. :) --matt J - ------- The Ectophile's Guide to Good Music: http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide/ - ------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe sycophant If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of computers, they would all get AOL accounts and send unsub messages to the list address.
