The first time I watched it I was drunk and surrounded by gay men (well, there was twa of them) and I loved it (in an 'oh my god, I can't believe it!'. much hysterical laughter kind of a way). Some of the lines are so...unbelievable! And it is funny in places...intentionally? I'm not sure.<br />But then I watched it again (sober and without entourage) and it was just terrible. Painful really. It's certainly a film of extremes. <br /><br />I love some Eels songs...but not all of them by any means. He tries out all sorts though and I like that.<br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-51289943702590222009-05-24T11:52:39.458+01:002009-05-24T11:52:39.458+01:00What a gorgeous song!

I don't really know much by them, except the few singles I've heard. I'll investigate more.

[You'd hear that term more often if you get Ken Armstrong and Matt Urdan talking about ABBA]. :)<br /><br />Think the only time that term ever grabbed me as something other than one of the 7 words you can't say on the radio was when, of all people, a black drag queen who really wanted to be a girl said it. Every time he/she got angry, he said his southern Mama had always said, "Two tears in a bucket, Motherf**kit".<br /><br />Weird how words get in your brain.hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03306622656461205674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-73371386401230055762009-05-21T22:46:06.291+01:002009-05-21T22:46:06.291+01:00Ah ,Yes, Hello!

Someone was talking to me the other day about "earworms" - apparently these are catchy tunes that once we know them don't go away, so that we find ourselves singing them driving along in the car, or we wake up with them in our heads. I have a few of those and I have to say that sometimes they can be very irritating.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-72064069615314673342009-05-21T17:32:00.845+01:002009-05-21T17:32:00.845+01:00Did I mean just anger..?

They wouldn't be used in anger originally otherwise. But it's using them so much (as we do) that makes them so far removed from any original meaning they may have had...so they become just words that we use and not much more. I'm taking from your comment that you don't like the song...but maybe I'm wrong. Oh and hello. Been here long?<br /><br />SW - glad you like it.
