    What's The Most You've Paid For A Concert

    I don't think I've ever dropped more than $25 but my boss bought myself and a coworker $150/pop Neil Young tickets as a bonus back in April. As Neil was in solid form and Bert Jansch opened just a few months before he passed, I feel very lucky; never would've dropped that much cash for that show...

    Toronto Film Festival 2011

    onetet said: My favorite new film at TIFF thus far was this sad, hilarious Canadian documentary about residents of a nursing home, filmed over 5 years. Many of the residents have dementia, so it gets into some dark and uncomfortable territory at times. Not for...

    ketan said:INVASION sounds great...might try to catch the Thursday morning show. I loved it, gems like this are why we need repertory cinema. One word about the print/TIFF presentation though: it's a restored 35mm print that looks good, but with French subtitles attached. They...

    Toronto Film Festival 2011

    seems like there aren't a lot of strutters following the fest this year, but just in case I have three favorites so far. VOLCANO--a small production from Iceland about a 60-something retiree who relies on his long-suffering wife for every detail, seemingly incapable of even heating up...

    Toronto Film Festival 2011

    sorry to hear you're sitting it out, Bassie, but I can understand. The slick yuppie gloss of the Lightbox is indeed offputting, and if I'd been ordering online I would've been pissed -- their site is archaic, buggy, and counter-intuitive. That said, I feel like I've still found a...

    Approaching hurricane (Northeastern corridor-related)

    My power was restored Wednesday night after 4 days without. Thing is, it turned out to be a 90-second fix to get 100 houses up and running. Momentarily giving BGE the benefit of doubt that they were actually working long hours earnestly based on well-reasoned triage over those 100 hours, I can...

    Toronto Film Festival 2011

    I got my ticket confirmation email last night, and rec'd 27 of my 30 choices -- the worst I've done, but still pretty great. Of "big" movies, I've got the new Herzog, van Sant, Solondz, Wiseman, Coppola, and Bela Tarr films. The three I didn't get into were the Cronenberg, Steve McQueen, and...

    Approaching hurricane (Northeastern corridor-related)

    I was just congratulating myself for the fun rustic night I had last night reading by candlelight when I heard that I'm not expected to have power restored for three days. Something tells me the novelty is soon to wear off.

    Your 3 fave 90???s films.

    Many of my favorites have already been mentioned, but here's a few more: Chungking Express was huge for me when it was released, but I'm not sure how I'd rate it relative to his other films now. I also haven't revisited this, but it was definitely one...
