I can't make curves that smooth with a pencil.

No, but David Lynch certainly has.

I met him once, out in front of Tower Records on Westwood Blvd in the mid '80s.

I saw today I can pre-order the new Bill & Ted movie on DVD now. And you know, it's very, very tempting.

Make sure it comes with Eraserhead. Not sure why that film came to mind just now.

Back to tablets for a moment..............

We have a few of those around here. I see one now as I turn my head towards the living room! Years ago I made a faithful rendering of Yosemite Valley from Discovery View on an Etch-A-Sketch. Perhaps, not quite as accurate as this drawing, though, but, close.

I'm glad I don't work in a restaurant in Maine.

I'm not being political. This is not a joke, it is demeaning.

geez, when did they start neutering restaurant workers in maine....when will the madness end?

 

[GonePlaid]

Me too, haven't gone in years.

People make the experience quite unpleasant. I got fed up with kids on their phones and talking out loud to one another during the movie. Then there's those with screaming babies that insist that they have every right to disturb everyone else.

And most theater staff isn't paid enuff to care enuff to kick people out.

Hollywood knows that theatres are dying a slow death. Disney announces then keeps delaying the release of The Beatles re-jig of "Let It Be" to a time which will optimize their cash intake. Their greed is embarrassing.

Big screen TV's and streaming are the last nail in the theatre coffin. At some point, maybe they'll wake up and convert movie houses into live music venues that feature afternoon art films.

Some kids paid attention to the theater ushers. Some kids get hired as theater ushers and let their friends in a side door.

Minnie Mouse as Yoko?

Minnie Mouse as Yoko?

Nah. Minnie sings better.

Minnie Mouse as Yoko?

Mini Mouse was born November 18, 1928. Yoko was born February 18, 1933. By Hollywood's standards, they'll need to find someone much younger. Here's an audition, it's a cat and mouse game.



On the Let It Be set.

Scarier than Eraserhead, in its own way.

I felt sorry for the baby.

For some reason, watching the second video reminded me of Robert Palmer's Addicted To Love video, with the non-musicians pretend-playing as a prop for the video.

I don't know if they're being neutered or spayed (maybe that is the next step?), but they're required to wear 'canine cones' to deflect their breath upward, away from their patrons. Good doggy. Woof!

Yeesh, "Let It Be" was a bad flick when it was originally released. Do they really think there's enough money to do it again?

They want back to the source, restored it, and had Peter Jackson recut it and produce a new movie. It also includes an enhanced rooftop concert. The audio has been restored and remixed by Giles Martin. It will be a very different film. It's the last big Beatles item that hasn't been re-released and they want to cash in. Coinciding with the theatrical release will be a number of related box sets at different price points.

They don't want to release it till the older crowds with the money are covid safe and are willing to flock to theatres. Hence the multiple delays.

Based on this data point I would say that many of my previous band rehearsals could have easily generated millions of hours of community service...

I would have done that if I could have gotten away with it. There's this rhythm guitarist I know, see, and well, we'll just leave it at that.
