hm well catcher in the rye maybe it's like herman hesse's demian, one of those books that work best in late adolescence (regardless of chronological age); to a grownup, holden may come across as a bit of a self-obsessed little shit, but he's still quite endearing though.

about the leopard however i cannot say enough good things-- i love that movie dearly, it's truly extraordinary, one of visconti's best, and claudia cardinale is just a feast for the eyes. do yourself a favor & rent this RIGHT NOW, but if you have to wait until you get a properly letterboxed & well transfered version it's worth the extra patience. god fuck i love this movie!!

LifeDistortion - On the Coltrane trip, the first album of his I ever bought was "Live At The Village Vanguard again". Monstrous versions of 'Naima' and 'My Favourite Thing', and both features Pharoah Sanders on horse-strangling tenor.

i was going to write "don't worry about it much, it's good but not that great" and then i did a google & found out that there are actually 2 versions of that movie & i'm sure i saw the chopped off one.

look.

so, time to hunt down the original (if it exists...).

Put down what you are doing right now and seek out Branded to Kill and Tokyo Drifter. Both are utterly magnificent with Branded to Kill perhaps having the edge. I'd also reccommend Youth of the Beast and Tatooed Life.

Why do you always post about stuff that is so obvious?
