fried green tomatoes for all 3

 

[pete]

film : papillon

well worth watching

Also, the Return of Spinal Tap. I'm just afraid of how shit it will be.

at least watch it until they're on stage - comedy gold.

[Kermit McDermott]

So far I've only listened to a few tracks on disc 1

me too, can't fuckin wait. the other two are pretty much my favourite books of the last 10 years.

have you ever read 'My Dark Places'? genuinely unsettling, especially his addiction and recovery years.

Also, I've never listened to disc 3 of 69 Love Songs, even though I absolutely love disc 1. Disc 2 has only been on twice I think.
I also bought that Pet Sounds Sessions boxset for €20 in a sale. Worst €20 ever spent, it's still in the cellophane five years later.

 

[Goodbye]

You want to sell me that Pet Sounds set good sir?

 

[Goodbye]

 

[Cryptid]

Buke: Death In The Afternoon by Hemmingway - I went on an Ernie trip there a while ago but I think I've read enough now. After about two chapters he says something like "You should now go a bullfight. The rest of this book will be meaningless to you unless you do." Ok...;
Movie: The Searchers - meh;
Music: (I have to listen to everything aka Obsessive Compulsive Behaviour).

yeah he was proper batshit. it's been a few years since i read it but i recall he got up to some weird shit like distributing facist literature, stalking women, sleeping on golf courses, house breaking and the like. i remember the second half of the book being a bit dull

 

[piratecore]

i went through a phase of reading nothing but james ellroy (after a long phase of reading nothing but crime novels in general) for a while and it put me off it a bit. i will now pick it up after i finish what i am reading currently. havent read my dark places or american tabloid.

added to shopping list.

la confidential/black dahlia two of my favourite books ever.

have been reading nothing but history books for ages

 

[Super Dexta]

Books: millions, I'm easily distracted. Roger Penrose is definitely up there as one that I'll never pick up again. Nearly any biography I've tried, just can't get into them. Oscar Wilde and the elephant man both failed to get me past the first chapter.
Films: none, I get through everything at least once.
Music: Minutemen - Double Nickels On The Dime, bought it after reading Our Band Could Be Your Life one too many times and just have no interest.

its no good anyway. i dont think i have any cds i havent listened to yet except for a todd rundgren one i bought yesterday which i'll probably listen to tomorrow.

countless books unread but i do plan to read them all someday.

I'm still deluded into thinking I'll listen to it. If I haven't done so by the end of the month I'll PM you.

 

[Unicron]

In the last couple of years I've bought a good few albums on vinyl that I'd already had on MP3 but that I've not actually got around to putting onto the record player. I've even listened to some of them on MP3 again since.

 

[Kid Lovebeach]

when i used to work in virgin we had a 1.99 clearance sale. bought loads of stuff from the 'art house' DVD section before remembering i'd prefer watch stuff like Happy Gilmore etc.

 

[Flux]

Love in the Time of Cholera - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Don Quixote
V - Thomas Pynchon
The Glass Bead Game - Herman Hesse
Quicksilver - Neal Stephenson

I blame the internet.

Roger Penrose - The Road To Reality

i considered buying this over the weekend. though it seemed a better idea to just dig out my feynman lecture books.
