as hal hartley comes up from time to time, thought i'd give my impressions of his latest film. in a nutshell, it's brilliant. i could talk about the framing and the angles and make comparisons to ozu or whatnot, but that's not the really important part and i know it. i won't give you a plot summary as i knew nothing about the film before i went in, other than the maker and cast, and wouldn't want to sell any of the rest of you short on that experience. but it's a movie that toys with *real* friendship, not the huggy movie kind, but the one where you love and need people cause there are these inexplicable ties that go beyond obvious similarities. and right and wrong and genuis and faith. there's something about hal hartley's... whatever it is that he has... that makes it feel real and like a fairytale. as if instead of writing a poem, he found a poem and tried to create the reality that inspired the writer. i dunno when it will be overseas, it just showed up in portland a couple of weeks ago. but i've seen probably three fourths of the movies released this summer, majors and independents, and this is one of the two best. xox megan +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: ryan
by brad 10 Aug '98

i've never been to a movie where grown men weep openly at the end and are unable to get out of their seats. i saw one tonight. "saving private ryan" it wasn't the best damn thing ever, but it was damn good. not all men will weep, just the ones who have been in war, i guess. i teared up....but....there were at least three grandparent aged couples physically unable to extract themselves from their seats. the tape tree thing has led to my first new purchase. well, it didn't actually come from the person in my group.....but from someone else....but anyway, i bought money mark "push the button" today. i knew who he was and i just passed it off as some beastie boysish tomfoolery and never wondered what it sounded like. but damn it's good. nothing like the beastie boys. nothing. thanks, rachel, if you read this. wasting your valuable time, brad +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: of course....
by James 09 Aug '98

09 Aug '98

I've thought of my Belle and Sebastian content, and it's so obvious, why didn't it occur to me before? Aren't they just incredible? I mean seriously though, don't they just make your life worth living? But really, I mean, when you hear "I Could be Dreaming" don't you just damn near implode with the sheer gloriousness of it all? Doesn't the impossibility of something that good just make your brain hurt? Don't you want to yell but be quiet, and dance but be still, and grin but weep like hell? Don't you want to spread the word but hug it close to you like a child, tell the world but cherish your secret, soak up the pleasure but feel the pain? Don't they just light up every day and every night, and every inbetween? No but SERIOUSLY though.................

Sinister: double take
by Jessica Murphy 09 Aug '98

09 Aug '98

Speaking of hearing music you love when you least expect it... Has anyone else been startled by the TV ad for Acuvue contact lenses that plays a remix of The Dream Academy's "Life in a Northern Town"? (This might be airing only in the States.) I haven't heard that song in ages, and it brings back memories... Whatever happened to The Dream Academy, anyway? I lost track of them after the second album. Have a good week... jessica m ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 09 Aug 1998 14:40:36 -0400 From: vlass(a)interlog.com Subject: Sinister: it's been a longgg time.. and, OH! i saw a b&s video which was exciting for me since i don't get canada's music station (no cable).. it was late at night, for dog on wheels and i literally yelled when it came on, causing my cousin to run out of the bathroom and ask what was wrong with me... nice video :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: that awkward second message
by James 09 Aug '98

09 Aug '98

hi pop kids second message. not a hell of a lot to say. just something to occupy my time really. honey said that a lot of new people have just suddenly joined the list. hello! i've said it before and i'll say it again - are any of you unfortunate enough to live in sunny birmingham? mail me and say sweet things - there are three of us at the moment, and the triangle thing is fun, but i've never said no to more sides on my polygon..... er...what else? oh yeah, hey esteban, are you THE esteban, from the mysterious cities of gold. how exciting! if this has already been asked/discussed or is a joke as old as the list mountains i apologise, but hey i'm nice so don't shout at me. chris jones said : "Spinning can sometimes irritate the nuisance that is timed, so realise that the sponge can relate to about 3 chickens per complement. That done, tombola can go by one to fog round a bike." chis, i see your point (don't get me wrong), but that said, weaving can sometimes eradicate the aforesaid nuisance, so it's worth noting that the sponge can also relate to about five kestrels per knave. THIS done, tombola can go by FOUR to fog round a bike. d'you see where i'm coming from? b+s content.....ohhhhh, i confess, there isn't any. so shoot me. does anyone have a favourite dinosaur name? love and loads of isobel kisses from molly xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: X-fm review show
by Sweet & Tender Hooligan 09 Aug '98

09 Aug '98

just telling you all how London's finest saw the "Boy with an Arab Strap", or at least the track from the album. They didn't talk much about the single but were *very* complimentary about the band and cited them as being one of the only special bands around and that people were very evangelical about them (hmm....could that be us) and they also stated their cult brilliance by demonstrating that with little press have managed to sell out the Shepherds Bush Empire. Steve Sutherland also said that the press release from Jeepster cited 5 or 6 tracks of the album that would be good on the radio. Could we know what these are please Jeepster? Any news will satisfy my B&S hunger! anyways just thought you'd all like to know ______________________________________________________ "If home life wasn't unsatisfactory, we'd never leave" the Breakfast Club - 1984 ________________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
