    Borat thread.

    Pretty bloody funny film. A few lulls in the humour here and there, but at its funniest moments it had me in tears of laughter. Best comedy in a long long time (not that hard, but it is).

    Cover Albums

    Following this ridiculous statement in the Ben Folds thread: I have gotten to thinking about which artists do the best covers, and what my favourite album would be comprised entirely (or almost entirely) of cover songs. Currently I'd say Bryan Ferry's first solo album, These Foolish Things...

    the 80s films thread.

    I'd say I prefer the 70s - it would vie with the 50s in contention for best decade in cinema as far as I am concerned. The 80s are a very interesting decade, somewhat transitional in a way. You have some of the old masters signing out (such as Kurosawa's Kagemusha and Ran, Bergman's Fanny &...

    St Jeromes Laneway Festival

    Does anyone still like The Walkmen? I didn't. The Rat was good though. What's the point of covering an album without making any changes whatsoever? What's the point of covering an entire album at all? I don't get them.

    Disappointing Albums!

    I know what you mean. Not with those two albums so much, but Wu-Tang Clan's Enter the Wu-Tang was pretty mehworthy according to me. Yet strangely, I thought Wu-Tang Forever was quite good.

    Scarlett Sings!

    Little Miss Sunshine

    Re: Little Miss Sunsine I saw it last night. Enjoyable, and with some very funny moments.

    The Departed

    I thought Infernal Affairs did not live up to the promise of such a good film concept, so I hope this manages to do so. While I do generally find Scorsese really quite overrated, I think that when he's on form he really is fantastic (though sadly he's terribly inconsistent). Nevertheless, I...

    Sam's Town - The Killers

    Brandon Flowers: "The sky used to be the limit, and it's not anymore. It's about 200 feet, and beyond that people think you're being comical. People ask me if we were trying to be funny with this record because it's big and exciting and confident. And my answer is, 'I don't think Beethoven...

    Hey, he may loathe himself, but it has nothing to do with the fact that he's Jewish.

    Australian Idol 2006

    You're a loony - Damien or Bobby were by far the best. Anyone who does Warren Zevon does all right with me.
