More Listening Pleasure

This is what's playing over the digital airwaves around me right now. I'm just in that kind of mood, along with the thankfulness expressed at the end of today's CSI entry.

Need More MP3 Player Space

Even though I watched this weeks ago (and had forgotten to post about it here), it was brought back today by one of my students was singing one of the songs - Good Morning Baltimore - in my class the other day.

It's a fun movie, which I would just watch over and over again for the John Travolta, Christopher Walken and Michelle Pfeiffer scenes, but I'll reserve judgment of whether the lead star is - to borrow a phrase from a recent post - a one trick pony.

The Net Good For Something Useful

Faster than inquirer.net or yahoo.com, in less than 30 minutes, this site had information on the occurence already.

Now THAT'S data dissemination.

The Other Extreme from Solemnity

As if I didn't come from a retreat yesterday, last night I finished watching this. It looks like the movie the cast of 40-Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up wished they had made when they were still brat pack American Pie cast age.

The movie takes some crazy and unusual turns, especially the last scene of the night and the ending soon afterwards.

As usual, it glorifies geeks and their habits, as well as attempts to "belong".

Another Shambling Horde Shooter

Line Between Game Genres Blurring

Puzzle Quest is a game that's half puzzle (duh) and half role playing. Apologies to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, but, "May its tribe increase."

Un-PC Puppets

This is Lucy the Slut from Avenue Q. I was looking for a picture that accompanied the characters singing You Can Be As Loud As The Hell You Want When You're Making Love but being one of the high points of the musical, I guess they won't have spoilers of that online.

The point I'm trying to make, which I got from a friend's twitter, is that the original episodes of Sesame Street we grew up with are now classified as For Adults. I don't know what aspects specifically they find offensive.

But I do know that one time in the early nineties - years after I stopped watching religiously - I saw a clip of Muppets singing something along the line of "some boys like dolls and some girls like trucks".
