The Crow

Lost Boys and Queen of the Damned had pretty great goth-centered soundtracks too. But one of the all-time greatest, IMO, is the Heavy Metal cartoon soundtrack, with lots of tunes done specifically for the film and unavailable elsewhere. Too bad it was all the music ownership rights that held up a Heavy Metal DVD release for years ----

The Crow

When the first Crow comic books came out in 1989, I was working at Comics Etc in Mira Mesa - I was so impressed with the first two issues that I recommended the series to virtually EVERYone who wandered into the shop for awhile. Then came the 1994 movie with Brandon Lee - I liked it, tho it was a somewhat different animal from the comics, far more goth and much less introspective, with very little insight into the Crow's own thoughts and motivations, other than kill-em-all revenge. The 1996 sequel Crow: City of Angels is almost unwatchable, save for Iggy Pop's scenes. 2001's Crow Salvation went direct to video - 'nuff said, other than maybe "eewww." I just watched The Crow: Wicked Prayer, from 2005, and it made me downright angry. The guy who played Angel on Buffy tries to raise a devil, helped by Tara Reid?! A disgraceful movie that attempts a Native American angle on the Crow mythos, good for little more than peeing on the Crow's early legacy. I've also seen a promo trailer for a Crow movie by Rob Zombie that apparently never got beyond the trailer, Crow of the Future or some such sci-fi nonsense --- rapper DMX also apparently planned to do a Rappin' Crow movie at one point, but wiser heads finally realized "Everything this guy does sucks." As for the Crow TV show, well, the Crow has a cop buddy who needs the Crow's help in solving crimes. I s*** thee not. Please, everyone - stop f***ing with the Crow!

Cell Phone Serenade

Father Yod was also a musician and recording artist, championed by fan and sometime-follower Sky Saxon of the Seeds. “The Source Family released roughly 10 albums,” says Ras Al H’nou, “going under names like YaHoWha 13 and Father Yod and the Spirit of '76. The music was a wild and thrilling ride through Yod's various beliefs and manifestos…Father Yod played gongs and kettle drums while preaching.” “Father Yod lived a storied and adventurous life as a military hero, jiu-jitsu expert, and craftsman, when he came to found one of the first health food restaurants in America, the Source. What started a series of lectures morphed into a full blown commune, the Source Family. The group venerated Yod as the living embodiment of God and created a completely alternate lifestyle based on communalism, chanting, meditation, vegetarianism, and ritual sex.” Regarding Isis Aquarian, Ras Al H’nou says “Her own spirituality has evolved towards developing an understanding of Goddess cycles and currents throughout history and cultures,” “Being of a certain age, Isis considers herself to be in the ‘crone’ phase of her life. Myself and a few others would add that, not only is she a crone, she is The Alpha-Crone!”

Nailbighter (sic)

The group's sixties-style logo was designed by Jimmy Ovedia and John Hofstetter, originally intended for use in relation to Karscig's production company. Says Karscig, “As my own music started to take precedence over producing, and a band was starting to form, I figured, lets just put a THE in front of a company that encompasses everything creative and all of the Nervous Wrecks (myself included) who are involved in the music.”

It's Better To Burn Out Than It Is To Fade

>>Cuddlefish: jayallen, please respond to my concern. Reporting should be kept confidential, in my opinion. I don't know of any other sites where admin doesn't keep that information confidential. Jayallen: I only confirmed what had already been stated plainly, several times in the same comment thread. >>Cuddlefish: By the way, I read SurfPuppy's posts to mean, he did not request removal of posts. Reporting is not requesting, IMO. Jayallen: I hadn't thought of there being a possible difference - I just assumed that to flag a comment is to request removal, but you're probably correct. Sometimes, flagging may occur just to bring attention to something or someone - but I suspect that most flagging is done in hopes of comment removal. >>Cuddlefish: Trustworthiness is an entirely separate issue, also, jayallen. Jayallen: Ahhh, but it shouldn't be. Hence me bringing it up - I realize that other websites have even more discourteous and dishonest commentators, but that's why I rarely participate. Perceived anonymity is no excuse for treating others poorly, or for accusing someone of posting "wild, unsupported, crazy comments" just because someone posted the truth. If someone had accused SurfPuppy of the same, and I had knowledge the accuser is wrong, I would defend SurfPuppy as well. These comment sections can (and, IMO, should) contain actual comments, not attacks and bulls***.

It's Better To Burn Out Than It Is To Fade

I read almost all site posts and rarely comment, but --- Surfpuppy, those of us on the administration side of this website know who violates TOS, just as we know who flags comments for requested removal. Russl has not violated the TOS - you keep assuming/pretending he has, because you keep ignoring (or trying to deflect notice from) the fact that he knows - and has publicly informed - that you flag comments for removal. Such flagging isn't confidential - SurfPuppy should be aware that many people with access to (if not always control over) website transactions may also read and take part in blog posts. Since SurfPuppy contributes to many website discussions, it's discourteous to flag someone else's comments for requested removal, and then deny having done so. Such behavior casts doubt about overall trustworthiness -- And on the matter of "secret" Reader site users having multiple screen-name handles and posting conversations with themselves - you should also be aware that every registered screen-name can be checked against the registrant's IP source. That said, it's not against any Reader rules to have multiple website names and personalities - just know that some of us cruising the blogs realize who you are (and aren't). From there, it again becomes a matter of each commentator's trustworthiness --

Sucker for Pedal Steel

Outtakes: FEARS OR PHOBIAS? “Drowning, and heights, and fear of falling off a cliff or some tall building.” LEAST FAVORITE TV COMMERCIAL? “The Geico ads with the googly-eyed stack of cash. I hate those.” DRIVE-INS OR INDOOR THEATERS? “Indoor Theaters. Never been to a drive-in.” LAMEST CHRISTMAS GIFT? “I believe it was a sweater from my late Aunt Frances, which I never wore. I think my mom ended up re-gifting it to one of my cousins. But it was the thought that counts. Aunt Frances never forgot me on Christmas. She always got me something.” WORST MOVIE? “Dumb and Dumber. I like comedies, but I don’t like stupid humor. Parts of it were just gross and plain stupid, not humorous.” VIDEO GAME FAVES? “I haven’t played video games in years. In fact, I just sold my GameCube, since it was collecting dust. But I was a Nintendo fan who loved the Mario Brothers games, Zelda, and Donkey Kong. Remember the original Nintendo? Duck Hunt? That game was awesome!”

Cat People

Some of the most iconic suspense scenes ever shot are in this movie, as in many of Val Lewton's other films. The acclaim and rewards later enjoyed by the lesser of Hollywood's thriller titans, Alfred Hitchcock, should have gone to Lewton - just imagine how a great a TV show it would've been had we gotten "Val Lewton Presents" instead ---

The Taking of Pelham 123

I watched the 1974 Pelham movie and the remake back to back, starting with the original. SPOILER ALERT - (Lots of reveals starting here, so be warned) It's a shame how the new version substituted most of the actual suspense of the original terrorist timetable with a lot of cussing and unnecessary plot "twists," like the subway worker's reportedly criminal past and the whole "The bad guys are in it for the stock market upswing more than the cash" aspect. Yeah, I realize the original million dollar ransom seems like chump change now, and that larger stashes of cash would be difficult to even move physically -- but I would rather have seen the ransom be directed to a bank account (the terrorist/kidnappers were clearly computer savvy enough to hid their tracks) rather than the Wall Street diversion, which seemed like no more than an afterthought (Travolta, on getting out of the Subway, sees the stock quote on his 'puter and smiles, and that's IT - such a throwaway aspect, why even add it?) The new one's dependence on star power was just depressing - Denzel and Travolta are incredibly charismatic, but that's all they had to work with. Travolta played the same cartoon baddie he played in Broken Arrow and Face Off, while Denzel was wasted as such a blah cipher who gets forced into acting The Hero with another silly plot invention, bringing him into the Subway to drive the train because the bad guy driver just happens to conveniently get killed. The original had the right idea by sending Walter Matthau off to chase the surviving bad guy in the course of the job he was already doing from the start of the film. And the way he FINDS the bad guy, wow, that was a great cinema moment, the last 20 seconds of the movie and the look on Matthau's face. Great situation, great acting, and a great laugh-out-loud ending. The new version instead went for the overwrought total-violence wrapup by creating a ridiculously unlikely situation, just to get the bad guy and Denzil in the same place at the same time. I don't even believe or understand what the hell Denzel was chasing him for, let alone why he was the only person to get near Travolta, despite the entire NYC police force, FBI, and Transit Police Authority supposedly hovering around the exact same subway station, with all of them fully aware that the bad guy was indeed there as well. Just stupid --- SO - loved the original. Felt my intelligence was insulted by the remake. They had a lot of nerve even using the same title and character names as the original ---

Buck Howdy's on the Case

Sure, the comment section DISCUSSION is fair game - I'm saying that it's wrongheaded to berate a music reporter for not covering all that non-musical ground in the Blurt itself. Which is what John78 was doing - he's wrong. He was literally instructing Ken that he should have looked into - and written more about - the political aspects. If Ken HAD, it would have been a very different article, and it would have run in a different section of the Reader.
