What's Old is New Again

It's funny, but as I have grown older I have noticed I am revisiting things of my childhood - for example, music.

Growing up I was raised on a mix of The Beatles, Elvis, Kenny Rogers, and Neil Diamond. I have already acclimated Elvis, The Fab Four and Mr Diamond on my list of CD's and downloads but I have hesitated with Kenny Rogers. Granted, I dabble in Modern Country, but some of that older twangy stuff has never been huge on my list of things to listen too. Than I saw the commercial for Kenny's Greatest Hits and Mindy and I both looked at each other with that, 'Should I even mention it?' look. I took the plunge...

"You want that, don't you?!"
"Actually, I grew up with my Mom listening to those songs."
"Really? Me too."

So there you have it... Mindy and I are both closet Kenny Rogers fans. I guess I'll have to add him to my Launchcast ratings and see what memories he'll dredge up at random (if and when he actually plays over the computer).

My new favorite quote from a genius:

"If A is a success in life, than A = X + Y + Z. Work is X, Y is Play, and Z is keeping your mouth shut."

Anyone care to guess who said it?

It's starting...  The 9/11 films are on the way as we approach the five year anniversary.  Do we really need to make movies about 9/11?  Maybe it's just me, but I think Hollywood needs to donate part of the profits to the families who lost their loved ones - after all, why should movie producers and movie studios be the only people to profit off of a tragedy?

How can you see the mountain, when it isn't there?

Not to get overly political and whatnot, but does anyone know why I can't seem to find a theater in the triad area that is playing Brokeback Mountain? I looked on Fandango - nothing in my area! I looked up my favorite theaters and their company websites, and nothing! Now I read how a theater chain in Utah isn't screening the movie, and that they made the decision just hours before their first showing was supposed to happen. I swear, people just need to let everyone make up their own mind about what they wants to see, rather than simply eliminating the opportunity to screen a film. I am a human being with a mind of my own and I don't need some close minded individuals trying to spare me from being exposed to what they deem inappropriate subject matter. Like watching two actors PRETEND to be gay is going to make we want to be gay or something. Yeah, I am that impressionable... *smirk* Nitwits!

Watch, it'll win big during all the awards happening over the next few months and I will have to wait until it comes out on DVD.

*sigh* Pisses me off!
