This is such a mainstream, overplayed, everyone's-heard-of-it kind of song, but I thought about it again tonight after seeing an article in the latest issue of TIME about Coldplay's new album. I love this video because it is really happy and tragic at the end since the two people are alive and back together, but you know the girl will die soon. It's weird how all the bad news and death in the world mean nothing to me, yet I can watch a simple video like this and it totally gets to me on some weird emotional level. There are a million movies that have done the same thing to me, but I don't have time to list them right now. I need to go to bed.
The more I think about the movie, "Speed Racer", the more I realize that I actually thought it was pretty cool. In an IMAX theater, or on a home theater with a large flat-screen and cool surround sound (which I don't have), it would be really awesome.
I hated reading all the bad reviews of it so I thought I would post a good review of that seems to get it right ...

That review is from TIME magazine.
It's sad when movies are not appreciated in their time. A good example is "Blade Runner", which is one of the best movies ever to me, but it's lifetime gross is only about $32 million (and it was re-released recently).
I'm not saying "Speed Racer" is as good as "Blade Runner", but the visuals of "Speed Racer" blow most movies away.
OK, there are three songs on Portishead's new album, Third, that make me think of others songs.
The first song is "Hunter", which makes me think of a song from the 1992 horror movie, Candyman, by Philip Glass called "Face to Razor".
Here are the two songs ...
John Stewart - Gold

Also, this "4 Minutes To Save The World" song has invaded my mind, and I am liking it. The video is pretty cool, too.
or you can just listen here ...
I have been wanting to listen to my Benny Benassi(Hypnotica) CD lately. My favorite song on the album is "Love Is Gonna Save Us". The song is romantic and sad at the same time, and it has this part that I call the "wind" part that is just perfect. For some reason, I thought the song would fit with the movie, "Edward Scissorhands".
My second favorite song on the album is probably "Time", and I thought a scene from the 1980 Christopher Reeve movie, " Somewhere in Time", could best sum up the concept of time(his best movie besides the first Superman).
While I was searching for my Benny Benassi CD, I came across one of my Tarkan CDs, and I thought, "Oh, I need to revisit Tarkan". Therefore, to be completely random, here are my three favorite songs from Turkey's own Tarkan(from his self-titled album) ...
Tarkan - Simarik
Tarkan - Ölürüm Sana
and Tarkan - Sikidim (Hepsi Senin Mi?)
Finally, here is a short clip of what XR2 is supposed to sound like on M.I.A.'s next album, Kala. I don't know how correct this is, but the quality sounds better than all the other versions that I have of XR2 ...
That is the fake cover of Kala that some fan made, and I got it from http://miafans.co.uk, of course.
Here is an image of M.I.A. on the cover of URB that I also got from that message board ...
Oh wait, I thought of one more thing ...
I really hope Rob Zombie's version of Halloween(probably my favorite movie ... ever ... ok, one of many I guess) turns out to be good.
