Bah, Muruch. No worries I think I’ll be okay with what I’ve got actually. But it would be really nice to have you play too the next time I do something like this.

Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll have time to write something new for your soundtrack project. But you are welcome to re-post my reviews of the Sweet Hereafter, Once, or I’m Your Man. And of course, there is always Bat Boy The Musical.

Well I’ll start posting them by the end of next week. Crash has sent me one already, so that’s a start, and I have one to write myself. So, end of next week okay for everyone? Get your fingers out you lazy cunts.

China – I mentioned Garden State, albeit in passing & as part of as broad swipe at the crassness of non-purpose (other than the fistful of bucks) product placement.

Ben – entirely agree with you. & Amelie is a grand piece of music, soundtrack or no. I’d say the same of Straight Story, purely for comparison sake (on a similar musical vein bent).

Mr. T., when is this darn deadline? I’ve Vegas to & destroy in the next week…

Was there a deadline for this?

I had been planning to watch the movie and “make notes” over the weekend, but my brain had to leave town on urgent business and the receptionist was just taking messages, so no significant intellectual activity of any sort got done. (It appears there are automated systems in place to take care of routine tasks, as I’ve survived the weekend intact and don’t seem to be ravenously hungry or desperate for a pee).

Crash, Commitments is a superb soundtrack, but it was a film about good music. Gives them a leg up I feel. They still excelled though.

Matthew, I’m not sure I thought enough about it to be a fully published thing, but go ahead if you think.

Splendid Crash, that one sounds excellent. Benj – is this another one where I could copy and paste your entire comment?

China, no-one has mentioned Garden State because the Shins are bloody awful. Would make an interesting post just for that reason.

This reminds me of high school, when teachers got sick of teaching, so to get a bit of a break they’d ask each person in class to teach a lesson so that two weeks of classtime would be used up.

Surprised no one mentioned Garden State, though.

Committments me up. Although I’m trying to write things for about 6 different places at the moment and everything’s going a bit pear shaped, but the fucker started writing itself in my head at the weekend so I guess I have to get it down.
