Cold Turkey

Songs in my head:
"Better Days" by Strung Out
"Pretty (Ugly Before)" by Elliott Smith

The rain is gone and it is nice and windy here. The high will be in the lower 50s, so it's perfect Thanksgiving weather.

I don't know if this an previously unreleased track, but a collaboration between Elliott Smith and the Blues Explosion is on a tribute to Junior Kimbrough. Punknews.org has the info.

MTV News is reporting that the director of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be David Yates and the screenwriter is Michael Goldenberg. It is scheduled to begin shooting late next year. Ain't It Cool News has even more info.

DVD File has a review of the Seinfeld DVD set. Very comprehensive review of all the extras. They also have a review of the Matrix 10-DVD set. I don't think I'll be picking this up because I already have all three movies and the Animatrix on DVD. I still wonder if people saw the same Matrix Reloaded as I did. I thought it was a fantastic, smart and a better-than-the-first sequel. Matrix Revolutions has some weak spots but it is not bad at all. I just don't understand why people think that the sequels are inferior. I was entertained, enlightened and moved by them. It's all just opinions.

Happy Thanksgiving and good luck with the shopping.

The only thing "Matrix Reloaded" and "Matrix Revolutions" have going for them is Monica Bellucci.

One With the Force

For as long as I have been alive, Star Wars has been in my life. I was only a year old when The Empire Strikes Back came out, a time when apparently a lot of people were angry about the twist that revealed Luke Skywalker’s parentage. I was not aware of this until I was in college, and frankly, does it really matter about the twist or the context of the day for fans? I think it does, as history has a way of repeating itself. These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
