Coming Up

Now playing:
(The London) Suede Coming Up

Played flag football and kickball this afternoon and I am beat. I'll be stiff tomorrow, but it's all good.

Opted out of going to Guided By Voices' last show in town before they change their name back to Robert Pollard. Instead, I saw five local bands last night. The band that really stuck out for me was the Happy Bullets. Really good fun songs with layers of harmonies (vocals, guitars, brass and keyboards).

Been listening to the Reputation quite a bit this weekend. Elizabeth really knocks 'em out of the park.

I think I should really check out the Incredibles. It looks very cool and plus Chasing Amy's Jason Lee voices the bad guy. Apparently the folks over at Pixar liked his delivery in Dogma and cast him.

Shall do some more reading on Britpop! before I head to bed.

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...
