woody guthrie on aig bonus payouts and etc
Yes, as through this world I've wandered
I've seen lots of funny men;
Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen.

coldplay pics take two
recommend. i'm not a huge fan really but damn it's a good show. even
if you hate them you can marvel at his voice, how slick the show is
musically, visually and banter-wise and how ridiculously catchy the
melodies are. (try to ignore the lyrics if possible). you probably
couldn't help yourself from enjoying the sound of 13,000 (surprisingly
tuneful) people singing 'fix you' and the tarzany bit near the end of
la vida loca. stuck in my head now to the point of irritation: 'you
thought you might be a ghost... didn't get to heaven but you made it
close...' only complaint: (and it goes out to all headline acts) how
about being a bit more generous towards support acts vis a vis your
giant video screens, especially in large venues. and i wanted to hear
warning sign but really i'm not complaining about that.

movies
ghost town (chermside, couple of weeks ago): ricky gervais sees dead people. better than i thought it would be. tea is good and age appropriate. 3.5 stars.
gran torino (el dorado at indro, crap sound, don't go there): enjoyed it. had a few laughs. the ending is moving. it's a little cheesy but it's intelligent cheese. 4 stars.
slumdog millionaire (TOnight RENTed): it's pretty good but i don't know if it deserved 39 oscars. 4 stars.
the wrestler: was supposed to see that but decided to see gran torino at the last minute instead.
