Very period. Very nice. It reminds me of a piece the US Airforce commissioned from Samuel Barber.

I think that is what they're called.
The only one I've ever used - or got my head round - is this one: :)
It seems they've fallen out of favour. Maybe they're no longer cool? But I ne'er saw them as cooooool in the first place :)
P.S. I intend tae stick wae :)

...those who are born on 29 February?
Do they all celebrate it on 28 February in intervening years, or what?

Rock operas do not work as movies.
I just saw Tommy and, um . . . it just doesn't work. I wanted it to. I wanted it to very much, since I love the Who, and I even also like movie musicals, usually.
But part of the power of a rock opera--at least the kind where it's an album rather than a stage show--is that the plot is left a little vague. You can't get away with that in a movie.

Wankfest extraordinaire, or a sympathetic look at the twitchy neuroticism of postmodern young romantic love?
Oh, wait. That's the same thing. That said, Charlene Yi unwittingly has her moments, mostly when her claimed disbelief in love belies her obvious and innocent yearning for old-school romance. Unfortunately, those moments don't add up to a film worth wasting one's time on.

My music selection has grown a little stagnant and I'd like to mix things up with a some international artists. So, can you recommend some good bands from your country, that may not have achieved global popularity? I'll start:
Canada - Mother Mother, Hey Ocean, Said the Whale, Metric

I now have a Goldring Lenco GL70, with a Linn arm. Rebuilding it now. 1963 idler wheel goodness.

I have caught two interviews with the mother of Matthew Shepard, the young man beaten and left for dead in Laramie, Wyoming, in an anti-gay crime.
My concern is that the situation has been oversimplified, and class conflicts and town-gown tensions have been shoved aside. The convicted killers were unemployed total loosers, high school dropouts from the wrong side of the tracks. They had to pool their change to buy a glass of beer in the tavern where they met Shepard. Their girfriends were also dim bulbs from the same social strata.
It is quite a contrast: the killers are two broke and unemployed jerks who had hardly been outside their home county, doubtless did not have passports, and as victilm a young man who had traveled a good bit overseas, was attending school, and at least had enough money to have a normal student life. It is hard to beleive that the two killers were...

A Talking Picture (+Um filme falado+), by Manoel de Oliveira.
Breathtakingly bad and pretentious. I don't typically write reviews of films on websites any more, but this one has an enemy in me. It has not a single redeeming quality. Simultaneously vapid and pompous, it features a John Malkovich acting more like an effeminate kitten than his normal reptilian self, a bored Catherine Deneuve, along with a couple of other luminaries that should've known better. I wanted to see all of their characters devoured by sharks. Oliveira's 2003 effort transcends mere badness, becoming a cinematic force of evil. Reading the reviews on imdb.com was good for many laughs. The only people who seemed to like this waste of celluloid were wannabe Europeans from the US, too insecure to trust their judgment that the film sucked. They obviously thought there was something profound to be gleaned ...
