Most of his films are character studies rather than plot-driven vehicles. I don't think he's making statements about the human condition or the fate of man, here. You could call that "style over substance" I suppose, but that would be independant of the quality of the films.

Harold Budd Budd Johnson Buddy Guy

Tolliver - disk #1 (just arrived today )

I compeletely disagree. But if that's the way you feel, go nuts. Your loss.

AFTER Christmas??

I have a real exciting album from the 70's by Hal Galper on Enja called "Now Hear This". It's a quartet album with Galper on piano, Hino - trumpet, Cecil McBee - bass and Tony Williams - drums. If anything, it sounds like a high energy McCoy Tyner album. If you can find it, get it. I don't know its availability, though.

Robert Bork Anita Hill Arlen Spector

I saw "Broken Flowers". While I don't think it's necessarily one of his best, it's still miles ahead of most of the junk that gets released to the theaters every week.

My Select arrived today. Can't wait to get home and listen to it tonight.

I've been wondering about that myself. Couldn't figure out if it was because a lot of that music has been released since they went OOP, or what.

John Wayne Wayne Kramer Fred "Sonic" Smith

I forgot about "Night On Earth". That one has a lot of interesting bits, too.

Ben Dover Eileen Dover Skip Dover

Oddly enough, I think "Ghost Dog" is the only one of his films I haven't seen. He's always entertaining and his sense of space is VERY refreshing. Where most films try to cram as much action and/or dialog as possible into each minute, he let's everything flow at a much more realistic pace. Great, subtle sense of humor, too.

Carroll O'Connor Chris Connor Chuck Connors

Mermen - "Krill Slippin' " Cecil Taylor - "Conquistador" [RVG]

I'm gonna GET you, Jim R! Peter O'Toole Brigid O'Shaughnessey Anita O'Day

Pete Jolly Angelina Joli Joely Richardson

My copy of "News for Lulu" has a slightly different cover - the photo (Louise Brooks only) takes up the entire cover rather than "letterboxed". Which is the original?

Marion Brown James Brown Michael ("Brownie") Brown

That's really an understated and EXCELLENT set. Currently: Anita - disk #2.

How does this album compare with "New York, New Sound"?
