Love that medley of "Live Alone," "The Girls Upstairs," and "Love I Hear"!! That's up there on my favorite tracks on that CD, along with Dorothy Loudon doing "Losing My Mind/You Can Drive A Person Crazy" and Jerry Hadley singing "Johanna," which is just stunningly beautiful.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Heh. I find that completely unlistenable and always skip it.
and Jerry Hadley singing "Johanna," which is just stunningly beautiful.
Yeah. I couldn't believe it when the news broke about his suicide attempt and death. I wasn't very familiar with him, but it was so sad.

Really? I find it hysterical, and since it's right in my range, I always sing along.
I also love "Green Finch and Linnet Bird," but just mouth the words since there's no way in hell I'll get anywhere near those notes. The final note in that song is worth the price of the double-CD, IMO.
The Sondheim festival that ChiKat and I went to last summer did a similar tribute concert at the end of the day that included a wonderful version of "Weekend in the Country," an even faster version of "Not Getting Married Today" than Madeline Kahn did on the CD, and a beautiful "Sunday" to conclude the concert.

Any particular titles I should look for?
Ong-bak and Tom yum goong (aka The Protector). Tony Jaa is tiny crazy bendy fierce. Kind of like Nightwing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hated Tom Yum Goong. Well, at least the half we watched.

I liked Ong-bak and wasn't that wild about Tom Yum Goong, but I was mainly watching it to see Tony Jaa move so it all worked out.

There are some phenomenal fight scenes--I'm glad I saw the one as he's going up the stairs, but the plot is basically Ong Bak with an elephant instead of a statue's head, and less involving.
Speaking of cool fight scenes, I'm skeered to watch Oldboy again, but my sister bought it when she was here and was especially delighted to rewatch the hallway/hammer fight scene. One long take! Very cool.

Is it wrong that I can't read those words without thinking of Frank Iero?

Not in my world.
...I may have a type.

Excellent! Though I think you're at least partly responsible for me even knowing who Frank Iero is in the first place, let alone just how bendy he is...
