[MMouse]: top 10 movies
top 10 movies of this year: 10. Pokemon - superb. i nearly wept. "chuu" 9. South Park - "i am the clitoris" 8. Star Wars - mmm. ewan mcgregor. 7. Blair Witch Project - not scary, yet still good. 6. Kite - damn good anime. she may seem innocent... 5. eXistenZ - wha? who? e... hard to get yr mind around it. 4. Sleepy Hollow - johnny depp and tim burton do it again. with a dash of christina ricci 3. Dogma - blasphemy is fun! 2. Being John Malkovich - "Malkovich?" "Malkovich!" john malkovich, the newest pokemon 1. American Beauty - floating plastic bags and all and movies that i haven't seen yet that i guess might make it on the list whenever i do: Princess Mononoke Boys Don't Cry Fight Club and is The Green Mile really good? i read the book. seems like another sappy ass tom hanks movie to me though. i mean, shawshank was good...tim robbins and all. but tom hanks + stephen king? i dunno. cheers. katlove "http://members.tripod.com/terrarium/" _ Free email with personality!

i don't know if anyone else had the same experience as i did with mogwai, but it seems like there are quite a few people out there that aren't open to them. i saw them opening for pavement in athens back in '96, and the crowd wasn't very receptive. it was amusing though, cuz the mogwai boys noticed that people didn't like them, so they started being their scottish asshole selves. their louds got louder and more *angry*, and the quiets quieter so that when it Did get loud, it scared people. plus the bass player got pissed off and sat down to smoke his cigarette. :) so. go see mogwai live, and if you don't like them, they'll piss you off even more. although i must say they put on a great show. do you people like slint? if so, i don't know how could could not like mogwai. mogwai has become what slint could have had they not broken up. or maybe mogwai is even more than slint ever would have been. catlove "http://members.tripod.com/terrarium" -- Original Message From: "sputni"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [MMouse]: mugwump Date: Mon, 18 Oct 1999 20:34:10 -0800 >okay, this list has turned into a free for all. >as for mogwai...im on karinas side. although i admit ive only heard a few of >their songs. but everyone i hear has like 5 minutes of silence before barely >audible sounds come in at very slow paces. i know this isnt a very scientific >study but im just explaining my relationship ive had with them thus far. i >mean, i dont call them crap, but ive just read way to much hype about them >that so far seems unjustified. but whatever. im not hip. blah. people, >people, why are we fighting? > >Email services provided by ApexMail >http://www.apexmail.com > > _ Free email with personality!
