I watched WALL*E today. It was pretty good, if frustrating to watch sometimes because it's a kid's movie. But it's not their fault I can't turn the logical part of my brain off.

I've meant to see that movie for a long time now.
It's worth seeinge. It's a fairly bold artistic statement for a kid's movie: for the first fifteen minutes, the only character is WALL*E, and for the first half hour the only dialogue is WALL*E's and Eve's anthromorphic blips and bloops.

Sounds great. I'm reading about community structure and sipping on some Islay myself Smile



Community structure?   Like a textbook or novel?   

I'm reading the Lennon bio...still.  What a F-ed up childhood he had.

Ecology.
Who's the author of that biography? It's always interesting to know if they have some kind of "real" connection to the person it's about.

And Henry: sounds promising (about WALL*E)

I can't decide whether or not this game is fun.
 
Anyone see the new Star Trek? I've heard it's pretty good, and I'm a big fan of the original series, and while it doesn't have Shatner, at least it has Nimoy, who is almost as good. I could listen to Spock and Kirk talk all day.
 
Finn, I don't know where Kos goes, but I like to get links from Metafilter, and I sometimes go to digg and reddit when I'm bored enough that I'm willing to sift through crap.

Henry: I'm a huge fan of original series too and I'm skeptical of all the good buzz.  I have a feeling the things people react to are not what I'll enjoy (special effects and action.)   I like OS for its cheesy dry appearance and cerebral content. 

KOS: Cool, thanks.  And how was go-karting?

Don:  Just a sec.....checking....Philip Norman: London based writer of many rock bios and covered the Beatles in the late 60s for some mag.  It is pretty well done, so far.

OK, sounds good.

A friend has got an excellent book with song-by-song analysis of the Beatles' output. Really amusing and interesting (from what I've read so far). Great if you're a fan of the band and want some anecdotes as well as studio insight Big smile

God that sounds like fun.  I might have to try it sometime when I'm up north, MN, where they have stuff like that.  Wherabouts are you?  I've been to LA a few times, mostly around Huntington.

It's funny, I never get tired of reading about the Beatles.  Not sure if its them, or the 60s UK, that I love.   Both....not sure why.....I wasn't there.  Guess I just fantasize about partying in swinging LondonLOL

So last night I had a dream that I was going to make out with a girl, but for some reason she said she wanted to listen to Gentle Giant during the act. I told her I didn't have them as I was still evaluating and exploring etc., and she left. Then Dr Manhattan came and made fun of me and I woke up. :(

The track is located near the intersection of the 110 and 405 freeways.
Like most people in LA, I have a love/hate relationship with this place.

Wow, James is right - Magma's Trilogie albums do have a lot of themes in common. Wurdah Itah and MDK share a lot of points.
