Good actress.....bit high strung.

Innocent question. But why would you consider The Pianist or Lord Of The Rings american films? Rings was directed by a New Zealander, filmed in New Zealand, based on a book by a British author, starring actors from many countries. The Pianist was based on the life of a European with a Polish direct...

Recently, I got around to renting one of last year's most talked about films, Spike Jonze's Adaptation. To be honest, it was a letdown. Meryl Streep, Chris Cooper, Brian Cox, etc. all gave good performances and I thought that Nicolas Cage was sensational....but it seemed to me that the film itself l...

His new album is entitled My Baby Don't Tolerate and is due out on September 30th. This will be his first album under Lucinda Williams' Lost Highway Records.

Groovy.

Hey, ElVez That quote "a man is only as faithful as his options" I swear I heard when listening to a Chris Rock gig. :lol: So that's where Elvis is getting his quotes these days. Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that. Chris Rock got the inspiration for that joke while reading th...

will you be at Sundown on thursday?

Don't remind me! I want to see Junior Brown so bad and am still pissy over the fact that I have to work that night!

love,
El Vez

Spooky Girlfriend, The inspiration for most of my songs comes from Englebert Humperdink. He's a mate that one! When Bert and I are stuck, we usually call Taupin or Gary U.S. Bonds. Why is it so difficult to remain married? Well, a man is only as faithful as his options my dear. love, El Vez Mood Swu...

Remember the "Ask Elvis" section from the old IDJ site? Well, I thought I would start one of my own. Recently, it has struck me how many similarities there are between E.C. and myself. Both of us are carbon-based bipeds. Both of us wear glasses. Both of us have had disastrous affairs with ...

Damn....I forgot about Bill Hicks! Has anyone else here seen his standup film Sane Man? I spent my entire senior year in college living and breathing that film.

I've got to get Masked & Anonymous! Blue...have you picked it up yet?

Blue,

Nothing to forgive. Having a difference of opinion over whether Ornette Coleman or Guy Clark is more deserving of a poll nomination is not the sort of thing I really have any right to be pissed about. I wish all my disagreements were over something like that.

1. Sat on the living room couch for several hours straight. 2. Watched The Weight of Water and Jackass: The Movie. 3. Stared at my girlfriend's cats. 4. Stared at my girlfriend. 5. Stared at the carpet. 6. Stared at the ceiling. 7. Nearly wept over the fact that there wasn't any calzone left from di...

Vic Chesnutt - Silver Lake.

I'm just cranky about a couple of board-related things although it's nothing worth venting over, really. Right now I'm just cursing silently as I am stuck with the single most tedious job at Office Depot right now. So that the normal Copy & Print center worker can go to lunch, I'm stuck folding ...

Ah fuck it. I forgot how many quality artists were from Texas in the first place. Scrap the list altogether if you like.

Lefty, Bob Wills and Buddy Holly were accidental omissions on my part, but I can't seem to correct the mistake on the poll. Consider them de facto poll no...
