Believe me, I'll never forget Steranko! (Steranko and Gulacy, 1997)

Though she ALWAYS looks awesome. . . .

She looks AWESOME in this film Evan!

Well, I can definitely agree with some aspects of that post. BUT. . . . a) I haven't read these "graphic novels" and don't want to. The movie works for me and holds an appeal that the printed work doesn't. b) Frank Miller is intimately involved in this, and Frank Miller, I have always felt, wants to be a movie maker, so I have to feel this is different than many comic books translated to the screen.

No she doesn't really get naked. . . she does do a little pole dancing though. . . Rosario Dawson really looks stupendous as does and

Sure is!

It's cool to see "Mr. Keynote" Harry Lim in these photos!

Man I wish this picture could say a thousand "notes" . . .

For what it is worth Al. . . the idea of the necking grossed the 68 year old character out as well. . . .

Ah. . . it could well be a National I think, and you can see strings in this one!

I'm not sure. Does that thing even have strings? Ellington pretended to be playing it in another photo from that session. . . I need to see that photo again!

Almost looks like a Paul Gulacy drawing!

Wow. Maybe it's just my decades of listening to this stuff now under my belt, but these don't really sound like they ought to be skipped over to me!

AGREED. Plus don't overdo the ones you can overdo.

I'm taking some fish oil, some vitamin C, and some vitamin E (because the fish oil can deplete that). I am definitely sold on the fish oil: my eye sight and my joints seem improved, and I bet my heart health as well (my father practically forced me to take it for heart health reasons; it has helped him, and he's probably right in thinking I inherit all the funky and weird things he has). The C seems to be helping me get through allergy seasons here; I've only been doing this about 5 months BUT there seems to be less allergy gummy eys, congestion, etc. I don't take a whole lot of either; when I remember I take a multivitamin as well, maybe about 3 times a week.

Well, I was among the many who went to see Sin City this weekend. Ultra violence in the time-honored Tarantino-Rodriguez tradition, somewhat liberated by the comic book theme and replication via digital manipulation. BEAUTIFUL women, quite interesting acting. A spectacle, a "guy thing," an adrenaline rush. Very Frank Miller, very much like an Eisner that embraced the dark side. . . .

I don't know what that reviewer was listening to but it doesn't sound like what I hear.

I would say exactly what Harold said!

Paul, thanks for that correction; I have edited the post above. Yes, I remember seeing Rob in the early to mid-eighties myself, and I was just relaying what I was told by another attendee of the event re: NYC. I DO know he wasn't around this scene, he would have stood out as a pillar!

On March 30 I saw the David Wild Trio with guest Rob Lockart live at the Elephant Room, Austin, Texas. It was quite a nice evening for me as I got to introduce two jazz buddies of mine to each other, and had the next day off so I could stay later than I usually do. I had been looking forward to seeing the enigmatic David Wild, and I got to meet him and he's a very friendly and inteligent and vivacious man, and quite a fount of jazz wisdom. But for me the real highlight was Rob Lockart's tenor and soprano playing. This was the most advanced tenor playing I've had the joy to hear in person in the last years outside of Sam Rivers last year, and his mastery of the tenor on a blistering (tempowise) Oleo just floored the visible audience. Wow. His work reminded me of Coltrane and Henderson but he had his own style blooming. From what I gather Rob was an Austin player, left to go to NYC, and is back at least for a spell. If you get a chance to seet his man perform, take a chance, I bet you will really enjoy his playing.

Lots of Nola Penthouse dates. . .especially Cal Massey's Candid.
