I hope that you mean Wednesday morning? I had no problem for the Lowell tickets, although I signed in to get a password for Wed and haven't received it yet?

Thanks to raneonme for the link. Wilco in Concord, NH $35 advance $37 day of Seating Capacity: approximately 1,300.

According to this site Wilco plays CT tix are $35. That would be a nice constant price to stick to, but we'll soon see.

From Brooklynvegan: "Wilco will play a run of 16 concerts in Eastern U.S. cities beginning in Miami, FL on March 22 and culminating in Pittsburgh, PA on April 11. The concerts are presented as "An Evening with Wilco" and will feature extended, varied sets exploring material from each of the accomplished Chicago sextet's seven studio albums. The tour includes concerts in Clearwater, Savannah, Atlanta, Durham, Richmond, Bethesda, Montclair, Providence, Boston, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and features Wilco's first concert appearances in the cities of Scranton, PA, Concord, NH and Hartford, CT

WOW!!! It feels good to be back in the Just A Fan section and discussing tour dates. I didn't expect this this soon. You know, I was reading the free local NH newspaper the Hippo while stuck in the 2 day weekend snowstorm and on the back they had a full page color ad for the Capitol Centre and it crossed my mind "What if Wilco were to play here?". Then I laughed and said maybe. I have some weird type of Nostradamus thing with this band. I remember thinking how cool would it be for Wilco to come to my hometown of Lowell and then it happened like a week later. I'm a bit surprised, happy

Juno (I wrote this on IMDB because I had to get it out of my head and into words. People over there keep thinking that Mark is a pedophile. I guess it's something that I never discussed with someone before. Usually you talk about the witty lines and not this. I'm sure I'm not the only who thought the following? Maybe all those posters on IMDB are just a bunch of kids? ) I just watched this movie for the 1st time in 2 years. Being a man in my early 30s I could definitely feel what Mark was going through. Also, being a 16 year old at one point I think I knew what Juno was going through too.

I'm in the Two Thousand Ten boat. Although, I am willing to try both variations in front of people in the 1st 6 months of the year. You know? To get my feet wet. I want to see which type of people think about correcting me or why they would in the first place. It's odd though because almost everyone I've heard referred to 2012 as Twenty Twelve. I think people like the abstract idea of saving a syllable to perhaps use that millisecond to post something witty on Twitter or some networking site. Think about it. People had more time in the 60s. That's why they referred to 2001: A Space Odys

Ah, yes. The song that pondered "when I marry Bono".

I assume you mean that he goes with the "Wait and see" approach to garner more money out of a deal. Or rather he solidly suggests it to his clients who also probably want to garner as much money as they can in such a position. The assumption I guess was that the Red Sox would counter the Mets' offer with a higher price tag which did not happen. Then 2-3 weeks went by. If Bay really wanted to stay with the Sox, I think he would have signed with them. But I think that Boras chimed in with "wait and see" about the Red Sox to Bay who had dollar signs in his eyes. I agree $6 million is $6 mill

One of the strangest offseason moves I can remember. Bay gets a nice offer from both the Mets and Red Sox and declines both. Then news comes out last week that he wants to sign with the Sox. Reports say that he is "lukewarm" on signing with the Mets. Then he ends up signing with the Mets. Edit: So much for wanting to play close to home. I think he wanted to sign and stay with the Sox, but Bozo Bore Ass fucked it up for him. Then no one really was interested in him really. Thus sparking that old flame for Boston "take me back." $6 million more than the Sox offered him, but for a 4th

I think it'd be pretty easy to cast the title role...

Yeah, this is most notable to me via my love of The Three Stooges. Columbia Pictures rehashed, regurgitated, and remade shorts quite often to the Stooges dismay. Unabashedly taken from Wikipedia... In 1952: the Shemp Era "Production was significantly faster, with the former four-day filming schedules now tightened to two or three days. In another cost-cutting measure, White would create a "new" Stooge short by borrowing footage from old ones, setting it in a slightly different storyline, and filming a few new scenes often with the same actors in the same costumes. White was initially ver

I think you are right about people your age, but I think the studios hope that younger audiences will find it new and different. I'm sure an older brother or dad will tell them "Oh that was on when I was a kid." But a huge chunk of the movie going public is between 11-20. So which came first: the demographic or the product? I am going to say the demographic came first, due to parents assuming a movie costs less than a babysitter. When I worked at a movie theater, it was all high school kids coming in for these types of movies. And on top of that 70% of the time we would have to go in a

Lol...Ok, I just remembered about this remake. Nightmare On Elm Street with Jackie Earle Haley playing Freddy Krueger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AytCMB0YW8 This was expected after Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday The 13th, & My Bloody Valentine. Also, other 80s movies being remade for a 2010 release date include: Red Sonja with Rose McGowan in lead role, Red Dawn, Back To School, & Footloose with Chace Crawford in Bacon's role. And for 2011 you can look forward to Conan, Short Circuit, Hellraiser, Poltergeist, & Romancing The Stone. If you think that I'm kidding, lo

Bull Moose Records I swear by this store. It's for real.

What about having a sequel to a cult classic 28 years later? Take a look at Tron Legacy coming Christmas 2010 in all the variations of 3D: IMAX, Disney Digital, & Real 3D. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y-7-Mt6uYk&feature=PlayList&p=AB2DBEAFB0BE97D0&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=17 I think this looks amazing, even if the special effects that made the 1st one seem so ahead of its' time aren't really here. Rather it looks upgraded very well. I wish that they still used the black & white face inside the outfit. But this should be interesting to follow. I'd rer

Ok, I started another separate thread awhile back about this next movie, but I'm going to bring it up again. Hot Tub TIme Machine is an homage to the 80s comedies and also very modern at the same time. I've read the script thanks to a friend of mine who found it online. While some may be skeptical from the trailer, I can promise you that it's "all part of the plan". The best stuff is not in the trailer which makes it the perfect recipe for runaway comedy hit of the year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DCFPS58KYY

And in 2010 we will have 2 more 80s franchises getting reboots... The A-Team That's Bradley Cooper as Face, Liam Neeson as Hannibal, Sharlto Copley as Murdock, and Rampage Jackson as Baracus. It is directed by Joe Carnahan who did Narc and Smokin' Aces. Next up is the sight for sore-eyes remake of (drum roll please) The Karate Kid....and look who's fucking in it..,...is that Jackie Chan and WIll Smith's son..?!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy3TwgpOfr0 Chan: Le me protec you from bad schoo kid, so they don steal your lunch money. Smith, Jr: Thanks Mr. Miyagi.

Hmm..it's interesting that I just read an interview with uber-Producer Joel Silver. His philosophy is to remake bad to ok films. Edit: From Collider.com Silver: I don’t know. I mean, to remake a movie that…I don’t know if I want to remake things that I was happy with, you know? If there were movies that didn’t work or weren’t effective or that are out there in the world that I think could be good movies, I mean I would be open. But, I mean, not really. I mean, we talked about maybe remaking “Commando” at one point because that wasn’t….I think it could have been a much better movie and we d

Hmm...I think Sam Worthington spent some quality time on the casting couch. Terminator Salvation, Avatar and now this?! It looks decent enough. I think it's trying to cash in on that 300 crowd. It's got a similar release date in March. There's 2 trailers the first made this one look like a rock video/video game. The 2nd one looked alright. If there's a robotic owl, I'm there.

Actually, as I'm sure you may know James Cameron wrote the script himself. I haven't seen it yet. I'm waiting until it quiets down at my IMAX theater. So I won't be seeing it until next decade.

Hmm. I was just listening to this yesterday in my car. And I truly mean this. I seem to only listen to the covers from this show.

I use Word Perfect (I really like the layout) and just switched to Microsoft Word (Mac). Tough to get used to it. I would like to try an excel spreadsheet at some point. I'm also setting out to write at least 2 scripts this coming year and prepare 2 older ideas into outlines and character building etc. It's funny and odd that you used the word albatross, as that's one of the character's last names in one of my ideas floating in my head. I'd also like to speak to some people on here about Minnesota for one of my ideas. I have what I think is a pretty neat idea for a modern day film noir se

Beltmann, I'd like to get a copy of your syllabus for your FIlm & Society (?) course that you are teaching. I'm curious to see what films are on there. Have you considered putting Watchmen on there? I'm not sure if you teach high school or college (obviously not appropriate for high school)? I'm reading Watchmen & Philosophy and it has opened my eyes to things that I didn't really notice and/or had trouble to put into words or concentrate on. Cheers, Kristofor
