Courtney Movie Reviews: Three of Them This Time

The Other Guys

(2010)

Between whoever the geniuses are that wrote this, the able director and the humungo cast, they’ve invented about eighty new kinds of funny here and literally all but about four sent me into proper hysterics.

There Will Be Blood

(2007)

It’s as amazing as everyone says it is but man if someone can write an ending for this movie it would totally be worth the money getting this cast and crew back together to shoot it and edit it in.

“Green” Live At MOOG HQ

Last fall, while the Dandys were on the east coast swing of their big US tour, the band stopped off at MOOG HQ in North Carolina to take a look around and see what the big idea was.  Turns out the big idea was MOOG is awesome.  This was no great secret!  Anyway, the Dandys recorded this live version of “Green” while at there for moogmusic.com, and though this video is posted here, check out moogmusic.com for their write-up about the technical stuff going on, and to see other cool bands live at MOOG.

DANDYS ♥ MOOG. Thanks, everyone.

Atlantis Code: Update

Previously.

Well this was only fun for a little while. I shoulda seen it coming.

He had two Hot Ladies on the team of good guys.  He was gonna feel the need to have them not get along (because character realism isn’t the point here, tension and release is). That particular subplot was not very believably written but merely annoying since the action rocked right along…. Until he decided they should really have it out.

Well when he did he blew it.

In storytelling and invention, an argument decided upon rather than arrived at is a real ball-dropper and basically since it got dropped, so has this book.   I’d like to get back into it cuz it was really quite fun for a while there.  Lots of great historical information and the dude can really write action.  I’ve tried twice but the spell has been broken.  I think.

The Atlantis Code

Airplane reading again.

This is a standard “ancient mystery threatens world domination” plot.    The cover sports a lot of “Da Vinci Code” references.  Oh gee is that cuz of maybe the name?

Well anyway, Dan Brown is a sappy clod when it comes to women characters.  And now that I think about, pretty much all characters in general, whereas this guy like to put a SIG Sauer 9mm semiautomatic blah blah in each of her hands.  Personally, I prefer that kinda thing in my actiontrash women.

The main character is a linguist so the ancient mystery requires a full fuxton of interesting factoids about the history of language and culture.  I like that kinda thing too.

If you read this kinda thing I highly recommend this one.

I picked it up in a Mobile Alabama grocery store so probably it can be found anywhere.

I bet you’re wondering how in the world you are going to celebrate both Beltaine and International Workers Day on May 1st. Check this out, we’re down with both holidays at the May Day Festival. This is a four all-girl psych-country bands to rock this double holiday.

Featuring: Lesser Saints, Ruby Feathers, Brush Prairie (my country side project) and Buzzyshyface.

See you at Doug Fir May 1st. Feel free to dress as “pagan” or “worker” as you like. (Maypole provided but BYO picket signs and/or garlands.)

Get your $5 advance tickets HERE.

Pagans and Revolutionaries unite!

Your Turn

So I’ve been very interested in turn signals lately. Did you know that many vehicles made today roll right off the assembly line without them?

Big pick-up trucks for example. No turn signals. Now this seems fairly sensible because being a fifth generation native Oregonian I know quite a few big pick-up truck drivers and not a one of them would use a turn signal if they had ’em.

Lexus doesn’t have them either.

And Mercedes, you may have noticed, quit putting in turn signals around the mid-eighties. They didn’t drop their prices, though.

BMW is a tricky one because it seems that they have special turn signals which don’t come on until a turn or lane change has already started. That must be part of why they cost a little more.

Well that’s all the research I’ve done so far but I’ll be doing a lot of driving on my vacation to the south next week so if I discover any new datum on this rather confusing issue I will surely let all y’all know right away.
