Velvet Goldmine (1998)

Curt Wild: We set out to change the world ... ended up just changing ourselves.
Arthur Stuart: What's wrong with that?
Curt Wild: Nothing, if you don't look at the world.

Aside from Ewan channeling that weird Iggy/Cobain hybrid, I hafta say I was somewhat underwhelmed by that film. Murky. GREAT soundtrack, though. Shudder To Think do this spot-on Bowie imitation song called "The Ballad of Maxwell Demon" which is just freakin' GORGEOUS.

I thought you were going to watch Carnivale next.

Get this: I watched the whole of "Milfay" at home.
Brought Carnivale with me to work in anticipation of arriving player.

I dig out the disc when I unpack the box, and it's only season 2. Season 1 is still in the player at home. So, I watched Velvet Goldmine, instead.

Rest assured, Season 1 is at the ready for the morrow.

Good.

Velvet Goldmine confused me. But that may have been because I fell asleep for the middle two quarters of it.

You know, some of those kids nowadays, with their newfangled slang words, are calling two quarters a "half." Crazy, I know. ;)

Nope, I stayed awake through the whole thing, and I was just as confused. It's just confusing.
