Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 19:27:49 PDT Sender: owner-the-landing@smoe.org Reply-To: the-landing@smoe.org This was from www.downbeatjazz.com : "Andrew Bird, that is. The Chicago violinist recently completed playing on the score of the forthcoming Tim Robbins film, The Cradle Will Rock. For the music, written by Robbins' brother David, Bird played some improvised tunes with saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera. Robbins wrote and directed the movie, which is set in 1930s New York and based on the 1937 Orson Welles play of the same name. John Cusack plays Nelson Rockefeller in the movie, which also features Hank Azaria, Bill Murray, Joan Cusack, Emily Watson, Susan Sarandon, Vanessa Redgrave, Ruben Blades, John Turturro and Cary Elwes. Bird, who used to tour with the Squirrel Nut Zippers, also just finished his second album on Rykodisc with his band Bowl Of Fire. Titled Oh The Grandeur!, the album was recorded in New Orleans in February is scheduled for a fall release." How about that!!!! Andrew is out there getting the attention he deserves. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 00:19:30 -0400 From: "theresa mccart" Subject: Grandeur...

If you are Shaun and you don't want to read this little review of the movie "Immortal" because you think you have an ice cube's chance in hell of ever seeing it, then please skip to the next message. Otherwise, here it goes: IMMORTAL This is sort of a "sister" movie to "Insignificant Others." One of the filmmakers, Steven Wright, was "1st AD" on J. David Moody's crew for that film. In the opening scene of Immortal, there is a body lying on the ground, at a weird angle, and there is blood oozing from it. This scene was shot almost exactly the same as a scene in Insignificant Others. After the camera moves from the body, it moves to a list of names the vampire is crossing off as its victims. The name for this body is, of course, Moody :) David said that the filmmakers for Immortal came up with the idea while they were shooting "IO" and began filming it during the production of "IO" and Immortal came out first. The plot is basically these guys are in a band, the lead singer also happens to be a vampire. His grandad (played by frank Aard, who was the father of one of the rape victims in IO) was a vampire and his dad wasn't, because it skips a generation. There's something about a train wreck and his dad but i didn't really cactch the whole point to that part of the story. Anyway, this guy in the band keeps biting and killing people and one bandmate knows about it and he gets all pissed off about it. No one else knows, and no one knows why all these people keep showing up missing. No wait, I think the bouncer at the Cradle knows as well. Anyway, Tom Maxwell is shown about 4 times in the movie. First, he is at a concert and sneaks a picture of said vampire while he's on stage, and the vampire signals for the bouncer to take away Tom's camera (because, as we all know, vampires don't show up on film!). Then there is another scene at another concert where Tom is in the crowd. After the show, Tom is walking around the club by himself, and the vampire goes out onto the stage, and there is a teriffic scene where the vampire smashes a guitar, and Tom takes the broken neck and shoves it into the vampire. But for some reason, the vampire doesn't die and Tom does. I think what happened is that the vampire just reached into Tom and ripped out his heart, a la "Indiana Jones." Anyway, there's a great scene where the vampire is holding Tom's heart above his body, then he squishes it horribly all over him. cool stuff. oh, and he didn't have any lines at all. So then the vampire goes and tells the bandmate what he did, and the bandmate freaks out and says "dude, he was a Sony rep! he was important! not only did you fuck up our chances of being signed, you also killed someone who will be investigated!!" rock on. then there is a slightly humorous scene where the 2 bandmates go back to the club to hide the body, and we see a nice shot of Tom lying there covered in blood, glasses half off, i think stuffed partly into a garbage bag. That's pretty much where i stopped paying attention. people kept calling and stuff. and my friend came home. Oh, SNZ appear in the film as a band. they played Danny Diamond...Ken on gitar, katherine singing in this wacky oriental robe getup, jim on guitar, Tom on drums (but since he's supposed to be dead, they don't show his face really), chris on percussion, I think Don Raleigh on bass, Stacy Guess on Trumpet, Spencer Adams on sax, and John Kempannin on fiddle. Very cool. SNZ's presence in the movie didn't actually fit into the plot, but eh... Oh, and there was a scene in the movie where the vampire takes his girlfriend to the movies and the movie they're watching is some weird, un-follow-able thing that the writers had made up (not a real movie) and it starred Greg from hobex (not as himself, of course) but he had funky hair and was just smiling a lot and i think he ran some then jumped into a lake. one other note, my friend's roommate (the ones i stay with in NC), Joe Caparo, was in a band called Reverb-a-ray who are on the soundtrack and i guess in the movie. And Joe would like me to tell you all that he did a lot of the songs for that film but didn't get credit :) So there you go. the famous "Immortal" movie. Not really worth the time i spent watching it to see Tom, but worth the $3 i paid. and of course, bragging rights ;) If anyone has a friend in NC, i rented it from VisArt video in Carborro (next to the Cradle). My friends only had one VCR, or i would have taped it for y'all! Coming tomorrow: Part 3, I am marrying into the SNZ family.
