cyrano: (haring ufo)
I watched Papillon and Clerks II tonight. One of them suffered from proximity.
Dustin Hoffman was excellent, but there were no dance numbers with the penal colony inhabitants. Clerks II is Kevin Smith at the top of his script writing and directing game, to my mind. I need to see it again because I lost a lot of dialogue while laughing. This is the film that I wanted J&SBSB to be, and I feel like it really closes the Jersey storyline much more satisfyingly. And yes, having moved to California about ten years ago, a lot of the storyline hit a little close to home. There were, of course, cameos. But they weren't the story, which was really a heart warming coming of age whateveritis. It's hot and my brain is not for the linear or the well presented, so suck up and deal. I want to get a Mooby's employee shirt now.
EDIT:
Egad. Not for $55, I don't.
EDIT:
That reminds me. Who did I loan my DVD of Clerks X to?

So, having gotten as far as the Spin Doctors in my ripping process (and coming to their song that references Guildenstern and Rosencrantz) I started work on a mix collecting songs that reference Shakespeare.
I think I've opted against using the ballets and operas based on his plays, but I may use tracks from Romeo + Juliet, or Richard III. I've also got "When Love Speaks" that I may pull a track from.
Feel free to pile on with any suggestions of your own.
I was going to make a list of the stuff I've already grabbed (I don't own a copy of "I Am the Walrus"...) but I can't figure out where iTunes stores their playlists and I'm not sure I feel like typing it all out by hand. That may change because I'm bored. Currently at seventeen tracks, and I'll probably cull one of the two Sting tracks and one of the two Indigo Girls tracks.
