I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. I liked the first half with the childhood stuff. Rather streetwise I guess. But from the ring on reality gets too blurred in a very annoying manner.
I've good things about Motherless Brooklyn but for now I'll give Lethem a break

Re: books, books, books
Jonathan Lethem - The Fortress of Solitude I find it rather overrated with too much of the authors thoughts about everything spoken through the characters. Elvis Costello is mentioned (so is about 200 other musicians) when a kid buys himself "some Elvis Costello kind of glasses". I much pr...

Re: Elvis in movie' Delirious'
I just saw Delirious with 6 other moviegoers in a small art-house cinema tonight. It's rather fun. Buscemi is great and so is of course Michael Pitt (he's doing a good job in Hanekes Funny Games US as well). Elvis had more lines than I hoped for to begin with. Talladega Nights this ain't. An the fac...

Re: Recently viewed films
Cloverfield.
It's actually pretty good and very intense. Like a post-9/11 nightmare vision. People who are interested in the project won't get dissapointed. Or at least I didn't.

Could this Danish musician by any chance be a Costello fan?

Saw Muse a few weeks ago and Arcade Fire last night. Muse was ok but too mechanic while Arcade Fire delivered a dynamic performance all though there was no need for half the band cause the horns and strings drowned in a wall of sound. Didn't hear those horns once... Still Wake Up and Tunnels were fa...

Apparently Gone, Baby Gone won't be released here. Too close to the Madeleine McCann case, and the girl bears a resemblance. Do the parents end up being proven guilty in the film, someone else, or do we never find out? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6992601.stm Nope - its not like the mis...

Ive seen too good films recently. The interesting and entertaining Eastern Promises and Ben Afflecks Gone, Baby, Gone. The latter is almost perfect - like a taut more down to earth and less hysterical version of Mystic River. Who would have thought that - to me it seems like Ben Affleck is the brain...

General misconception of Alison?
Rolling Stone made a list of the top 25 misconceptions rock songs ever. And EC is there. (Though I've never thought or heard about that conception of the song.)

I gotta agree with John. It was just Elvis songs performed by a singer who was not up to the task. And having just watched The Juliet Letters video/program they didnt even come close last monday in Copenhagen. Their choice of songs was meaningless as well. Why choose 'Taking my lives in your hands' ...
