Great 50th yesterday...
Sweet Papa Crimbo replied to Sweet Papa Crimbo's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
Not the typical take on the saga. A little slow, but pretty literate and some historical touches worked into the story that were a bit out of time. Overall, it was a pretty good flick. Russell Crow is a really good actor. -
Great 50th Saturday. Got a HTC hero, iPod touch...went to see Ironman 2 and Robin Hood...had good friends over for steaks...sat by chiminea by the pool... Good times...

I must say I believe you totally missed Jeff's point here. It was a lover letter...a homage to John.

Dawes on with Craig Ferguson
Sweet Papa Crimbo replied to Sweet Papa Crimbo's topic in Someone Else's Song
I was really excited when I saw they were going to be on with Craig Ferguson. They really brought the goods... -
Wow... Dead at 67.

People I haven't seen in years calling me and wishing me a happy birthday.

I always thought that picture was silly. Woody Guthrie's guitar never killed anybody.

Wilco on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson May 10
Sweet Papa Crimbo replied to u2roolz's topic in Just A Fan
It is a great song. Just not the song they should have played after being introduced as "the best rock band working in the world today". (And Ferguson was absolutely sincere) To seal that the deal for that kind of introduction they should have played Bull Black Nova. -
Talk about adding Insult to Injury

I will agree with that. HOWEVER, I forgive them those slights because they have attempted, and largely succeeded, in creating a six year story arc that managed to GET ON TELEVISION IN THE US. In an atmosphere that demands instant gratification and really stifles creativity and independence, they managed to create a story and tell it as they wanted to.

To add to the existential angst I am experiencing with turning 50, yesterday I got a sales brouchere mailer from a 'Retirement' village. Nice.

Also...how did "Mother" kill the villagers? We saw that MiB conceived, made and was going to construct the FDW. Who re-excavated the well and actually bult the FDW? (Maybe not that important...probably some other group brought to the island.) Where did the statue and temple come from? Neither were shown last night. If it was a group that came to the island after the events of ATS, why would they use Dynastic Egyptian symbols and constructs?
-
MiB could retain his former shape/appearance because his body remained intact on the island. When he asumed Christian's shape did he lose the ability to assume another form? How did he assume the appearance of "Dave" (Hurley's imaginary friend who the writers have said was MiB)?
-
So...Just what is the MIB's name?

What are your top pet peeves?
Sweet Papa Crimbo replied to remphish1's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
Guilty as charged...however, I wasn't talking about you. Feeling guilty about something? -

Sweet Papa Crimbo replied to remphish1's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
People who manage to take a perfectly innocent if not innocuous post on an internet board and turn it into a political diatribe. -
I would Say Robert Quine and any guitarist he played with. He was greatness personified.

Band comebacks that actually WORKED?
Sweet Papa Crimbo replied to PopTodd's topic in Someone Else's Song
Goddamnit people get real. There is only ONE correct answer here. -
What are your top pet peeves?
Sweet Papa Crimbo replied to remphish1's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
I must say I am a bit guilty of that myself. However, as I do ALL the laundry, I am only penalizing myself. A couple of years ago, I bought downtown a nice chaise chair for the bedroom for her to sit in and read or watch TV. She uses it as a clothes rack. -
As I approach a dreaded milestone Birthday
Sweet Papa Crimbo replied to Sweet Papa Crimbo's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
To add insult to injury, on top of turning 50 next week and experiencing an existential crisis, I sprained my MCL and my ACL today. No chasing down a purse snatcher. No hard tackle by a roid crazed middle linebacker. I stepped in a hole and instead of rolling my ankle, I almost blew out a knee. Sweet. -
What's the consensus on Wilco (The Album)?
Sweet Papa Crimbo replied to Shining Sunbeam's topic in Just A Fan
Nah..I'm trying to change my ways. I seem to piss off just about everybody now and again and have been chastised enough for my liking. -
Well played...well played
