  2. Finally got my hands on the Stereo set, who the hell designed this horrendous packaging ? The cdS have as much of an hard time staying in their case than Mariah Carey's body in her dress at the People's Choice awards.

  4. My bad, forgot about him, gotta say, i have not seen much of his recent productions in ages, which maybe explains why he got erased out of my mind.
  5. Huge loss, first film i saw of him on a big screen is L'Anglaise et le duc (The Lady and the Duke) which showed without a doubt that for a man coming from another era, he still had both feet in the present. Was also fascinated by Perceval Le Gaulois, starring a youngish Fabrice Lucchini. As mjzee commented his film his films were of the stereotypical french movies with plenty of dialogue, but thise who went beyond those prejudices he truly made some gems. If i'm not mistaken but from this era only Resnais remains. Reposez en paix monsieur Rohmer.
  6. At least the Cardinals-Packers game is making up for what was a boring wild card weekend with teams taking control early and never looking back.
  7. have to disagree with you on potter, he could cure my insomnia.......

  14. Saw the 2nd part of the movie Edvard Munch, for more details go to the film thread and followed it up by watching McGuigan-Cruz a nice featherweight scrap that earned the fight of the year title in 1986. Remember enjoying this series, if my memory stands correctly , they got canned real fast, how many shows does the series have and how many were broadcasted.
  15. Sandy Koufax Don Drysdale Johnny Podres
  16. Fuck, i'm once again runner up. Since we're a music board, how about sending a CD instead, it will be more personal than money.

  19. http://communities.canada.com/montrealgazette/blogs/wordsandmusic/archive/2010/01/03/montreal-singer-lhasa-de-sela-dies-of-cancer-at-37.aspx, She was born in a nomadic family that worked in a traveling circus which brought her numerous contact with different cultures and a quite unique lifestyle. Living to the Jacques Brel way of living that living a short full life is better than long and empty, the great i guess would call her world beat singer Lhasa passed away from breast cancer, not knowing she was sick, you can now imagine my shock. Her most famous recording remains her first one La Llorona (The crying women) , a suite of very sad, melancolic songs sang dramatically. The follow up called The Living Road was in a similar vein although a bit more folkish but with songs in French and English. Finally she did an album last year called simply Lhasa that was more raw, her voice changed a lot , gone were the melodramatic inflections and she seem to have a deeper voice on it, at times folk at times country. But no matter she still had an unforgettable haunting voice She also did collaborate with the group The Tindersticks
  20. More boxing Pipino Cuevas-Pete Ranzany Pipino Cuevas-Clyde Gray Man Pipino was a nasty dude. Ruben Olivares-Jesus Pimentel Bobby Chacon-Ruben Olivares II Two classic fights that shows why Olivares is regarded as one of the greatest Mexican fighter of all time

  23. Played a bit recently in my spare time, it picked up some speed. For the film movie thread crowd, they have added a few foreign films (classic and contemporary) so the list is getting more credible, just hope they eventually make the ranking system more elaborate eventually. By the way here are my rankings 3505 picks later and 660 movies evaluated at least once. 1.Amarcord 2.Pulp Fiction 3.The Third Man 4.The Player 5.Modern Times 6.Taxi Driver 7.The Good, the bad and the ugly 8.The Seven Samurais 9.GoodFellas 10.Sunset Blvd. 11.City Lights 12.Breaking the Waves 13.All the President's Men 14.Talk to Her 15.The Last Emperor 16.Ed Wood 17.The Ice Storm 18.Apocalypse Now 19.Metropolis 20.Annie Hall It is not perfect yet but all the 20 movies mentionned had a big impact on me.
  24. Only Conn has yet to make his picks.
