Day: March 31, 2006

Once more into the breach — the Friday Random Guess 10:

  1. Don’t ever set me free
    “You Really Got Me” by the Kinks, guessed by Kim
  2. I sing songs about the deficit
    “Rabbit Fur Coat” by Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins, guessed by Solonor
  3. They slither while they pass
    “Across the Universe” by the Beatles, guessed by Kim
  4. Boy you can’t fuck with me
  5. And now you dare to look me in the eye
    “Substitute” by the Who, guessed by Kim
  6. It’s the distribution of fear
    “Top” by Live, guessed by Kim
  7. Why make me beg and beg?
  8. A dying man is doing time
  9. You can bust your feet
  10. I get to see him every second Sunday

The ones remaining from last week are #3 (“No Tears” by Scarface), #5 (“London’s Brilliant Parade” by Elvis Costello), #7 (“Cloudy” by Simon & Garfunkel), and #9 (“Twilight” by Electric Light Orchestra).

As always, best of luck!

Of the characters in Ice Age: The Meltdown, Roger Ebert writes:

Remarkable, that they’re still around although tens of thousands of years must have passed since the previous film. But if I am going to require logical continuity in an animated comedy, I might as well admit that Daffy Duck is not real, and that I refuse to do.

Of the characters in Basic Instinct 2, Manohla Dargis writes:

For amusement’s sake, it is possible to read “Basic Instinct 2” as a metaphor for contemporary American-British political relations (a psychotic Yank lures a decent Brit into a web of deceit and murder), but this is a poor reward for two hours of drift and sludge.

A friend of mine is planning on seeing both movies this weekend, in a double-feature.
