Sinister: All you need is a shoulder....

..... IŽm going to attend Velocette tonight, pl aying at a club which is usually dedicated to 50 -60 years old people.... a good way to celebrate the shortest night in the year. Really. The intention of this posting is not to create a Sarah Bleach fanclub, however. All I want to kn ow is if there is any kind soul who has the songs that Isobel had on the threehouse some months ago, as my Real player is now over. If any of you can put them into a tape and send them to me, I would reward this great sinisterite with a copy of the B&S Barcelona gig.

Sinister: Ian C. is cool!

Ian smartly wrote: >>(chris, about your quote about hartley being overbearing: i semi-agree (could he possibly be more overbearing than woody allen?), but isn't this sort of clunky posturing somehow more interesting than the sort of glossy fluffing that goes on in all manner of 'mainstream' films? *cf _pretty woman_, an admittedly overused example<<<< I think both Hartley and Allen are far, far superior to anything mainstream. However, Hartley is a fledgling while Allen has proven himself to be, in my opinion, one of the greatest film-makers America has. I would put his Husbands and Wives as well as Todd Haynes' Safe ahead of Scorcese's GoodFellas in the best American films of the decade. As far as the humor goes, Hartley is more overbearing than Woody Allen because he makes his actors pause too much at the 'punchlines' or the supposedly funny bits, the timing is all off and out of proportion. I personally think the humor is fairly throwaway in both of these directors' films, but Allen's fits much more easily into his overall serious themes than Hartley's does. Allen is much more casual with his humor and it blends easily, if you don't happen to find it funny it doesn't diminish the film so much, but Hartley's sticks out like a sore thumb and I don't think it's halfway funny enough to deserve so much space in his films; he ends up trivializing himself, while to me Allen's films, at least since Annie Hall, have always had resonance whether they're 'comedy' or 'drama' or both. However, that being said, I haven't seen even half of Hartley's films and my interest is picqued enough by what I've found worthwhile in the ones I have seen to make me want to see more. Regardless of my minor divergence of taste with him, thanks to Mr. Connelly for keeping film discourse on the list! Unchallenged opinions are the most uninteresting sort. 75% of people are bound to find this whole thing far too pretentious but if I can get one person to watch Husbands & Wives or Safe then it's all worthwhile...

Sinister: Dylan...AGAIN!! :( :(
by McQuain, Chris 22 Jun '99

22 Jun '99

Lana should be forgiven for writing this (and also welcomed to the list with hugs and smiles!): >>Who, pray tell, is "Dylan in the movies"? Did Bob Dylan make movies? If he did, what were they? And is this Bob at all or some other Dylan who was in movies? What other stars are named Dylan? Is it Matt Dillon, just spelled wrong? << ...because she is new and probably doesn't know that the Dylan thing's been discussed before. The story is: There is a famous documentary about Bob Dylan by director D.A. Pennebaker called "Don't Look Back". So, if you don't look back, you're like Dylan in the movies. It's terribly sweet and clever, and explaining it too much can, like explaining a good joke too much, diminish the impact. But everybody should have the facts, I think. Also, yesterday somebody asked if any film critics on the list had an opinion of Hal Hartley. I have had (he ever-so-modestly and self-deprecatingly said) bits and pieces of my film criticism published, locally, and my opinion on Hartley is that he's very intelligent, I thought The Unbelievable Truth was okay, Henry Fool was quite good, but the Book of Life starring featured member of my Idol Parade PJ Harvey was crap. Any Hartley film will be more and more crap depending upon the degree of smugness he lets in, which at times is unbearably high. His 'humor' is like having a loud, foul person standing behind you nudging you and saying, "Get it? Get it?". Intolerable. Hartley is good to the degree that he can be serious and not let his Bazooka Joe humor invade his otherwise fine films. Sunshine, lollipops, rainbows... -Chris +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: not really very much Belle & Sebastian content, if I'm honest. Well, none at all really.
by John Kerr 22 Jun '99

22 Jun '99

hello, ok, so I know the list mummy got a bit upset about lots of e-mails that had not much to do with Belle and Sebastian but I'm a bit lost and I'm sure someone out there has way too much time on their hands and can help me out. On the great western road in Glasgow, there is a bit of graffiti. Beside a fruit shop, someone has sprayed, 'The Salad Days'. After checking the internet I've found out it's a book by Douglas Fairbanks Jr. I know this sounds strange, but it's stuck in my head ever since I saw it about 7 or 8 years ago. Does anybody know anything about it ? Part 2, After a rummage through my cd collection, I found a couple of ep's by a band called The Voodoo Queens, anybody know what happened to them ? There were pretty silly, they sang songs about chocolate and guitars but they did have a very minor hit called 'Kenuwee Head.' please feel free to get terribly upset with my exploitation of this list. thanks. JFK. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: angles in the architecture, oh your so young and foolish
by Robert Foster 22 Jun '99

22 Jun '99

Oh hello all. How are you doing. The reason I post is to explain about my web site, it's very Java. Anyway, I would like to make it sort of a review site, mainly of music, though books would be very good too. It's not ready yet but I would like to ask you if you would send some reviews in. If you do could you please send them to me as emails in the following format: If you are sending a review of music, put in the subject: Music If you are sending a review of a book put in the subject: Book It's that simple. Then write your review in the body giving the name of the person/people who made what your reviewing, eg, author or artist. If it was an event like a festival or picnic tell me where and when it was. Just useful info. Then give me THE REVIEW IT'S SELF. Also, did you know that the people on the Jeepster B&S List don't like us very much. I recently subscribed to it and their slagging us off left right and centre. Paula Cullen, I know what you said, Paddington Bear's hardest Stare to you. But a chap called Marcus Omond said that perhaps we could all be friends. Apparently there is going to be a big picnic on Primrose Hill the 3rd and 4th of July. He says that perhaps both lists can get along. Well, I agree. Oh, I hope I haven't offended Paula by talking utter bollox all day long and regurgitating the same old crap day in day out and generally, talking arse. I also hope I don't feel the need to send in a bit of rambling shit just because I have not said anything for a while. I hope I don't do your head in Kawasaki +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The Beer Hunter
by oon 22 Jun '99

22 Jun '99

Mr.Adrian Evans' secretary speaks: unfortunately, Mr Adrian Evans is not available to take your baiting right now. he's gone and given himself to the beer god i believe. please leave your messages after the beep. if you can't hear it, just send it my way and i'll pass them on when he comes back. me, taking off secretary's white fluffy feather mask, speaks: isn't Star Wars exciting. what makes it so exciting was the theatre showed them all night long! i went to see the 2am showing in a theatre in a big shopping mall. since it's 2am the mall was very dark and empty. it's like some shopping mall horror film. oh the excitement! and i've seen preview of the most scary film in my long and easily scared life. it's Thai ghost movie. it's coming soon to many theatre near me. how can i go to bathroom at night now. Mr.Chris, if the above movie has English subtitle i'll send you the vdo. guarantee you'll wet your house with fear. then you can send it on to Mr Trousers. to make sure he'll never talk a walk in the park at night ever again. Mr Nicky Dastoor wrote: > I don't think I would like Belle & Sebastian so much > if they looked rubbish. > Does anyone else agree? i watch FTV. it's not on to ignore those unhinged flesh and blood marching about mindlessly day and night. who'd have thought they can fill 24 hour tv with just clothes stuff and nudity! if only the inbetween bit is not so annoying. can't someone tell them to shut up and get on with it? in other word, i agree. how could anyone like them this much if they look like say.. the 70's WHO, for example. now, Sister Miller and Mr Watson, think hard and long before shouting. can you seriously weep to Mr Murdoch in those hair singing 'fox in the snow"? Speaking of Mr Murdoch, i'm sad to find out i've subconsciously associated him with noodle in the last few months. egg noodle with lots of barbecue porks and shrimp wantons in a big bowls, to be exact. whenever he appears in my dream, he is always surrounded with those bowls of noodle. yes! not just one, but many bowls of them! i can't remember dream actually, only remember that sometimes i woke up a bit hungry and yearning for egg noodle. that yearning happened again last week, and this time i remembered my dream a bit. so now i know. i'm starting to focus and try to associate him with something else more healthy and has more fiber. maybe orange, or banana. i'll keep you update on my progress. i don't know how the below story comes to pass in my maibox. but there seems to be a moral in this story. so i hope Sir Cliff won't be too disapproved of it. Oh Oh! Happy Birthday to the wonderful Starry Droolz! May the stars always and forever shine in your eyes! love, oon xxx _______________________________________ Police arrested Malcolm Davidson, a 27 year old white male, resident of Wilmington, NC, in a pumpkin patch very late on Friday night. Davidson will be charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, public : indecency, and public intoxication at the County Courthouse on Monday. The suspect allegedly stated that as he was passing the pumpkin patch, he decided to stop. "You know, a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one around here for miles. At least I thought there wasn't," he stated in a phone interview from the County jail. Davidson went on to state that picked out a pumpkin that he thought was appropriate for his purposes, cut a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his alleged "need". "I guess I was just really into it, you know?" he commented with evident embarrassment. In the process, Davidson apparently failed to notice the Wilmington police car approaching and was unaware of his audience until officer Brenda Taylor approached him. "It was an unusual situation, that's for sure," said officer Taylor. "I walked up to [Davidson] and he's . . . just working away at this pumpkin." "I just went up and said, 'Excuse me sir, but do you realize that you're doing it with a pumpkin?' He got real surprised as you would expect and then looked me straight in the face and said: "A pumpkin? Damn.... is it midnight already?" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
