Wash ,'Jaynestown'
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 don't think it's a stretch to say that I own more Jad Fair-related material than 99.44% of the music-loving population.
Indisputably!
Still, I think that you need to properly precede that sentence with: "Sir, I'll have you know that I own more Jad Fair-related material than 99.44% of the music-loving population."
How does Half Japanese remind you of Spinal Tap?!
It's more that if you watch it as if the whole thing is a joke, it's much better- good even.
I am one of the haters.
I am one of the haters.
Jad Fair is a genius. I say that without a trace of irony.
I agree as long as he actually does mean it all as a big joke. If he and Penn Gillette are serious?
I am seeing "Georgy Girl" tonight on the big screen for the first time and am soooo looking forward to it! Jad Fair will not be involved.
"Georgy Girl" is one of a handful of songs I can vividly remember my mom singing.
Oh, also I would like to point out this really nifty European Road Trip thing one of our designers built. [link]
Synchronicity! I was just establishing my geek credentials on Monday by having an in-depth, half-serious/half-mocking/(not-beast) discussion of Half Japanese with another rock nerd.
I bet Jad Fair would do an excellent cover of Georgy Girl.
Apparently there's a scene in Splice where a cat is killed.
If/when someone sees it, can they tell me how graphic that scene is?
