Subject: I agree with wwolfe
Kubrick is the most overrated person in movie history.
I also agree with him generally in all things movie and music related (except as regards to Grace of My Heart, where I think he missed the boat), so I give him permission to use me to back any points he wishes to make movie and music related.
Down with Kubrick!
(Also, my favorite sci-fi movie is the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers.)
Hi, everybody. I miss the gang. I plan to get on Live Journal soon, really I do.

Only partially agree, (and g'morning.) -- Grim ,_,_), 08:39:50 07/27/04 Tue (66.95.229.84)
While I think Eyes Wide Shut was mediocre and watered down at best, and Dr. Strangelove was one of the worst things I've ever seen committed to celuloid, A Clockwork Orange and 2001 are groundbreaking, stunning and nearly perfect.
I'll go with "hit or miss."

Hi there. -- wwolfe, 11:21:19 07/27/04 Tue (161.149.63.106)
Good to see your name here.
I'm just finishing two CDs you might enjoy. I joined an Internet CD swap group, courtesy of Pouncer, for which the July topic was "Deacades." (That is, pick a decade and make a CD featuring music from that period.) I chose the Sixties, but with the proviso that it would NOT be what most people generally think of when they hear that word - meaning, the Beatles, Dylan, hippies, etc. Instead, I would focus on the music of 1960-63, which is supposedly a bad period, but is in fact one of the best, if not THE best, for my money. Not that this will be a surprise to you.
I established a rule that there could be only one song per artist, because otherwise I could have filled the whole CD with only songs by, say, Ray Charles or Sam Cooke or the Shirelles. After I finished, I decided I had to do another one, so now I've got two, with a strong possibility of a third at some point.
You've got all these, naturally, but here are the playlists for each CD.
**1960-1963, VOLUME ONE: RECONSIDER BABY**

30.) "Quarter to Three"/Gary ‘U.S.' Bonds #1 5/61
31.) "Stay"/Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs #1 10/60
I went for the more obvious choices, but for a person who's not familiar with the era, these struck me as a good introduction. I wanted to show the wealth of genres that were producing good music (Chicago, New Orleans, countrypolitan, instrumental, surf, doo wop revival, garage rock, early Motown and Southern soul, and, of course, girl groups), as well as the suis generis folk like Shannon and Orbison. If nothing else, it ought to show that this wasn't an era that only produced a bunch of singers named Bobby, to borrow Jerry Lee Lewis's description.

I don't suppose I could get a copy of those, could I?
Kuzibah and I are going nutso with mix discs and a car that possesses a CD player.
The CBGB mixes that Pouncer made were magnificent and I will always trust Idoru to get it right too.

Sure. It'll probably be this weekend before I can burn copies, but I'll be happy to do it.

The blank CDs are about ten cents apiece and, as far as shipping, I could just hand it to you next weekend. So, in other words, no charge.
