If you get around to unpacking and setting up your HD set instead of watching sex on the beach then here are a couple interesting little films to look for: "Confess" which is about a guy who uses guerrilla video posted online to fall people. This script was written in 1999 way before YouTube was around and the director laments he didn't just take the web site idea and implement. Of course YouTube was simply spun out of the fact that Adobe Flash available on most computers for free and that broadband is more prevalent. This film also stars Ali Larter (Heroes) who did the small film because she was interested in doing more independent film projects. "Unholy" with Adrienne Barbeau which is sort of a trippy horror film about supernatural Nazi technology that the US developed after the war. I was kind of interested where the film makers got the idea but so far the commentary shows that they just wrote what they thought was a wild and crazy film and even joke to the audience if the can figure out what it means to contact them because they don't know what it means. :) Showtime showed the Neil Young "Heart of Gold" movie last night in HD. I never got around to renting the DVD but this was a real treat and a fine film by Jonathan Demme. Neil definitely has a very interesting style of composition that stood out from the rest of the Buffalo Springfield compositions and probably the basis for much of the harmonies used by CSN&Y. It's like he's more of a poet painting scenes with kinesthetic images and setting them to music with a broad pastoral brush of deferent harmonic devices not usually found in blues or rock but in symphonic and jazz works. Sounded great on my Klipsch speakers. And also Happy Birthday FFL!
