Cteve if you are looking for Jazz concert films I would maybe look into the Jazz Icons series. I only own the Nina Simone and Roland Rashaan Kirk, but they are both excellent. Nina’s live at montreax casts some kind of wicked spell as well.
Has anyone seen Dylan’s movie Renaldo and Clara. I’ve seen the exerpts that appeared on bootleg 5 but not the 4 hour version. I know Dylan has distanced himself from it, and it was heavily influence by children of paradise, but i’m still kinda curious to see it.
All four epsiodes of “Ways of Seeing” are available on youtube. If you like me fell in love with robert hughes’ “the shock of the new” and also like me had not heard of “ways of seeing” than its a glorious day. School children discussing the sexual ambivilance of a Caravaggio, women dancing on cars cut to “the third of may” cut to a real execution cut back to goya, the painting franz hals traded for peat moss, dziga vertov, bruegel. I guess to make this a question and not just a recommendation I’ll ask if anyone has seen John Berger’s cinematic work with swiss filmaker Alain Tanner. I haven’t but by title alone I would like to see " Jonah who will be 25 in the year 2000".

a good player can make a bad guitar sound great and a bad player can make a fantastic guitar sound bad. If your starting just go to a pawn shop and find somthing cheap. my first guitar was 99 dollar yamaha and it did me just fine for a couple of years. after that my guitar teacher helped me wade though ebay and found a gem.
“the dvd of barry lyndon is a joke” – “my first generation dvd is a piece of crap”
sounds like a good problem to have. the wait sucks but at least it inevidable. who knows if something like “Legend” will ever come out on dvd
i’m kinda of two minds about the whole thing. i’ve got a soft spot for movies that shoot for the moon, but it is also so boring. But that is what i like about it at times it can be entrancing, hypnotic and surprising . what do you guys think?
no, it should be free you just gotta wait like 70 seconds, if it isn’t working maybe the rapidshare link is dead, just search and find another link or i’m sure theres a torrent of it
this looks like a down year for the registry, a bunch of culture i would prefer not to preserve. all i gotta say is Pillow Talk. It doesn’t seem to gel with such gems as “jammin the blues” which was just on tcm a couple of days ago. Hot Dogs for Gauguin sounds promising though.
finally got down to seeing this and man, it is something. i laughed i teared up, i laughed even louder. some scenes the tableau style left me with that edward hopper feeling. other scenes feel so playful like a Jacques Tati sight gag. unique but familiar, uncanny.
