Picked up the new Stills disc. The first two songs are the best on the whole album, but it’s not bad at all.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Go see the movie. Then go buy the soundtrack.

Brilliant. I’m pissed at myself for waiting so long to see it. If it’d been a surprise it would’ve floored me. I knew I should’ve tried harder to see it at the festival last year…

Intel Aligns Digital Home Around “Kessler”, “Sandow” (Extremetech)

I keep watching the first season of The Office. My wife has been busily watching the first two seasons of Sex And The City.

Star Wars Trilogy on DVD: September 21st

We just rented the Woody Allen movie Anything Else. We normally hate Woody Allen movies, but it had Jason Biggs for her and Christina Ricci for me, so we figured we’d give it a shot.

We stopped it after the first 15 minutes. It was in that nasty area between boring and annoying, kind of like Nickelback or The Bachelor.

On the upside, I picked up the new Distillers and Muse CDs today for decent prices.

Whoa.

Frankly, I’m not sure what all the fuss is about. Granted, it’s a decent movie, with pretty good performances by some excellent actors, but I’ve seen better from each of them. Marcia Gay Harden was the only performance that I found stunning, and I think that’s only because she played such a sociopath in Case De Los Babys. If you want to be impressed by any of the three main actors, you could pick up their seminal prison performances: Penn in Dead Man Walking, Robbins in The Shawshank Redemption and Kevin Bacon in Murder In The First (though I prefer his turn in JFK; it’s a smaller role, but a well executed one and the movie is infinitely better).
