Heh. I find that completely unlistenable and always skip it.
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.
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.
tiny crazy bendy fierce.
Is it wrong that I can't read those words without thinking of Frank Iero?
Not in my world.
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...
Tom yum goong
Is my menu-derived knowledge of Asian languages completely off, or did they title a movie the equivalent of Lemongrass Soup with Shrimp?
I didn't make it all the way through, but yes, the title is soup and the movie involves food as a focus.
