Sunny. A bit cooler than it's been, but still nice.

That's what I was thinking. For instance, the long-awaited Sergio Leone boxset was announced a couple weeks ago as coming out on June 5th. Heck, some July releases are already being announced, but no word on TMS. I usually check out The Digital Bits first, as they often get word about upcoming...

You Are a Mermaid (er, Merman??) You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are. While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need. Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and...

"Less Than Zero" - Elvis Costello

"Who Do You Love" - Bo Diddley

"Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down" - Merle Haggard

About the Pee-Wee thing... I have read several interviews with Paul Reubens in which he says he has two scripts in the works involving Pee-Wee. One will be a "comeback" movie of sorts, in the style of "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure." The other one is going to be a darker, "Sunset Blvd."-like...

I figured the Chipmunks were due for this kind of big-screen revival sooner or later. Doesn't surprise me at all.

"Cry Cry Cry" - Johnny Cash

I got Eagle, too!

Yesterday was a gorgeous, warm perfect spring day. Today is an even warmer gorgeous perfect spring day!

"I Got Stripes" - Johnny Cash

"Be Bop A Lula" - Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps

Of all the Lennon on harmonica songs, I think "Love Me Do" was the one most influenced by "Hey! Baby." Interestingly, by the time John entered his "Dylan" period in 1964-1965, he more or less put down the instrument, which of course was one of Dylan's trademarks. Off the top of my head, here...

Warm, sunny day. Temp dropped tonight.

Apparently John Lennon was so taken with the use of harmonica on that tune, he used it in several early Beatles songs. Later, he said he was "embarrassed" by his harmonica playing on those early sides.

Oh yeah, Trejo's definitely going to be Machete. Rodriguez came up with the concept back when they were doing From Dusk Till Dawn, I think. Trejo has said he is looking forward to doing it as a feature.

The announcer repeatedly intoning "don't" in a grave voice is yet another device used in vintage trailers. You look at some authentic coming attractions, and the title and/or name of the film is spoken ad nauseum. As if the audience didn't get it the first 50 times. So Wright knew exactly...

So far the only trailer that is seriously being considered as a full-length feature is Machete. Robert Rodriguez is pretty close to making it, but is unclear whether to release it theatrically, or straight to DVD.

Well, according to Eli Roth, who did the Thanksgiving trailer, he was surprised growing up that filmmakers never got around to exploiting the holiday. I mean, there was Halloween, April Fool's Day, My Bloody Valentine, Black Christmas, Silent Night Deadly Night, Happy Birthday to Me, He Knows...
