I already have my mind made on one specific list: The Best Martin Scorsese Film of this Decade. The Suspects: 2002's Gangs Of New York 2004's The Aviator 2005's No Direction Home 2006's The Departed 2008's Shine A Light The Aviator closely beats out The Departed but not by too much in my book. One of the "downfalls" of The Departed is on the repeat viewings. Granted this proved to be one of the most shocking somewhat satisfying endings ever. But once you've seen it you tend to pay attention to all that precedes it. This is all amazing stuff to keep you completely in the story, but we all k

Bono & Don Knots on stage (file photo not found ) Damn you AP I agree. Not sure why Bono has the bug for Black Eyed Peas. My spidey sense is tingling: maybe Fergie and Bono get along more than friendly. Luckily, I saw Snow Patrol with U2 in September. I really hoped for Muse but next time. I guess I'd like to look at Fergie too instead of the dudes from Snow Patrol & Muse. Although, she is nothing great. But I'm reminded of her hot scenes from Planet Terror. I'm torn like Natalie Imbruglia.

This has been an amazing release. I luckily got to hear some of these songs on their 2003/04/08 tour/s. It's good for people who don't want to plop down the money for their albums pre-Green. 39 songs. That's pretty amazing. 2.5 hours. Itty Bitty Complaint - Drive, I'm Gonna DJ & Cuyahoga were all featured on their other Live cd. I'd replace them with Life & How To Live It (which they played a lot), Departure and Ignoreland. Not 100% sure if they did those songs in Dublin during these rehearsals.

That reminds me I have to run out and buy this today before it goes up in price tomorrow. I picked up R.E.M.'s Live At The Olympia 1st on Tuesday. Which is quite amazing. Got to give the boys from Athens all the credit in the world for going back into their catalog on every tour and pulling out gems. U2 should take note. Although, on their Vertigo tour they did pull out a lot from Boy and Gloria from October. This tour we got The Unforgettable Fire and Ultraviolet (both of which are amazing and in my upper echelon of U2 tunes) but every hit came with it. blah blah blah

I just watched this early Monday morning at 130 and I couldn't take it off. My 1st time in about 4 years. I only wanted to put it on for a little bit. I'm doing my Top Ten Films of the Decade and this is definitely going on there. (check out topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning). For a good laugh, there's a resident asshole know-it-all who posts on IMDB that he knows everything about this film. I think his user name is Scott-Purcell. Edit: Oops. That isn't the last movie that I saw. I went back a page on here and read about Rachel Getting Married which I quite liked. I'll go into it more if I'

Aretha Franklin Baby I Love You Chain Of Fools (with Annie Lennox) New York New York Think (with Lenny Kravitz) Respect Jeff Beck (the order of this set is out of order. Please be advised to follow with caution. ) People Get Ready (with Sting) Let Me Love You Baby (with Buddy Guy) Drown In My Tears A Day In The Life Foxy Lady (with BIlly Gibbons) Metallica One For Whom The Bell Tolls Turn The Page Sweet Jane (with Lou Reed) White LIght/White Heat (with Lou Reed) Iron Man (with Ozzy) Paranoid (with Ozzy) You Really Got Me (with Ray Davies) All Day And All Of The Night

Hey Folks, I did this at my Facebook account. I asked people to post their Top 10 or how ever many films as the best of the decade. I know it gets tough to whittle it down to 10 but obviously it could be one per year. Or do what you want. Get crazy with it. Do it by genre etc. http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/index.php#YearIndex is a good website to go to to get lists of movies by year for refreshers. With only 2 months left I'm not sure anything is coming out that would break into one's Top Anything. I could be proven wrong though. So I'll get back to this soon. I'm doing a "very g

http://twitter.com/u2gigs is tweeting the setlist live. For those of you that may be looking for that sort of thing.

I just received my Entertainment Weekly in the mail and noticed that there was an article called Want To Start A Fight? Just tell someone what you think of Spike Jonze's movie Where The Wild Things Are. LOL. Unfortunately, the article isn't online yet. The author is Mark Harris. www.ew.com

The word at the U2 message boards is that U2 will be joined by a "60s icon". Then there's footage of them rehearsing Gimme Shelter on their 360 stage from 2 days ago. Makes sense. Also, should be interesting tonight since the other 3 "main acts" listed on the home page are Eric Clapton, Metallica & Aretha Franklin Wow.

My he hasn't changed one bit. (sorry Michael)

Hello, I think I am somewhere split down the middle for this film. To me it feels like a film that once you see how it unfolds so unconventionally, in a sense, that maybe the 2nd time you see it it will be better to digest. I should point out that I got my Bachelor's in Film and I always praised the work of Spike Jonze. Even if he did 2 films before this and before that a bunch of commercials. Interestingly enough one of my old film professors confessed that Spike got his start in the business due to his families' big bank account. Ok, that really doesn't matter but in some ways it shows tha

This happened in April 2006 at Brown University. Triple Bill along with OK Go (I'm not sure if they have an exclamation point after the "Go"? )

I knew this reeked of publicity stunt and on CNN of all places little Falcon ratted out his parents on live television. Beautiful! Although, I am very frustrated by these "parents" that try to make money by using their children as tools to achieve fame etc. They & Jon & Kate make Ari Gold and a pimp look like Mr. Rogers. Heck, throw them all away in a prison and throw the key away. These "parents" are insane and narcissistic. Kristofor

Hey All, I was out at my local Uno in Nashua, NH 2 Wednesdays in a row between 11p.m. EST & 1a.m. I heard @12:30a.m. last week What Light which was amazing because some song before that got the bartender to turn the sound up. Tonight to my surprise @12:30 they played Airline To Heaven. Kristofor I'm 100% sure it is satellite radio.

Hey folks, So I was listening to my boot from Gillette Night 1 and I noticed that Bono snippetted/tagged Far, Far Away again in the intro to Beautiful Day. But he changed it to fit the Boston location. "An Irish boy (obviously not in WIlco's song ) kissing right on the T train Irish boy in Massachusetts I want to hold you in my arms and sway"

http://www.sendspace.com/file/tx9qqp Here's an audio link I put up so folks can hear the snippet/tag. Thanks to Prof Peabody for indexing it as a standalone track.

Since my best friend was at this show and he is an electrical engineer and somehow illiterate when it comes to torrents, I downloaded this show today. Very nicely, the taper Prof Peabody, indexed the snippet/tag of Far, Far Away as a stand alone track. I put it up on sendspace for those that want to hear it. It's actually much clearer quality than that video. So much more clearer that you can make out a bit more lyrics from the tune. http://www.sendspace.com/file/tx9qqp

Hey Folks, Well, I listened to the 1st U2 Chicago show live over the internet as it happened. Someone calls from the show and it shows up on some website called Mikes1000. Sound isn't the best, but you can make out each song. So, as mentioned, before Beautiful Day Bono sang part of Far Far Away. And he did it on both nights. When I listened live on Saturday night I almost shit my pants than I forgot about it because it didn't get listed on the U2 fansites. But they just updated it now and I'm glad that I wasn't imagining things. My best friend and his brother went to the show. I don't th

Hmm...I didn't even notice that. I'll check it out now. I guess it does make sense..."out and about" lol.. Thanks

Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy. I'd be most interested for the title track which I think they would kill, Meal Ticket which would rock, and the epic We All Fall In Love Sometimes (which kind of reminds me of Everlasting)/Curtains finale. I do like the choices being thrown around.

The Man was also used in trailers and in the film Observe & Report.

Since the last thing I went to bed was was post in this forum, I ended up dreaming about it. In 2 different scenarios. Here's what transpired: 1) The Wilco tour bus pulls up to wherever you are and it's only you. Jeff comes out decked in a priest's robe and does a slow motion walk off the bus much like Gwyneth Paltrow meeting Luke Wilson in The Royal Tenenbaums. Only thing is it's your song playing in your head as he walks toward you and not Nico. Jeff slowly hands you your cd back with your one song on it and starts moving his mouth in a way that means "Oh my God that was amazing!", but k
