Lovin' Spoonful etc

Dumb unless you can explain yourself.

Jeez. I haven't seen this film in probably 20 years and yet another DVD title sat on my shelf which got dusted off today. It's so easy to forget how damn good it is and I generally detest westerns.

There's something very wrong with you two. I shut it off after 40 minutes of bleakly staring at the screen, waiting for something funny to happen.

I mean Jesus, is there anything more clichéd than a person taking drugs by mistake? How fucking stupid and lazy does a comedy get? I kept waiting for him to cross his eyes and pass out or something equally retarded. "Oooh look, everything is weird and funny, how goofy am I? gigglegiggle. :|

The End of the Road: The Final Tour '95 (1995)

Here's the review I posted on Netflix:

The majority of the film is generally boring. It covers the last couple tours of the Dead (Spring and Summer 95) from the perspective of the fans outside the shows. No concert footage whatsoever, no Grateful Dead music, no appearances by the band members. It covers some of the troubles the band and the fans had going on during that time such as gate crashing and a general losing of its way by the scene. However when it gets around to the part about when Jerry died, the film actually becomes quite beautiful. I appreciate the opportunity to hear what Merl Saunders had to say about Jerry's passing, to see some of the coverage of the ceremonies at Haight-Ashbury and Golden Gate Park, and to hear what Jerrys daughter Annabelle, Wavy Gravy and the rest of the boys had to say on stage with Babatunde Olitunji and the Family. I was part of the Family back then and did not get to go to the celebrations but my bro did, and I remember what it was like back then and where I was and how I felt, and it is good to remember. I cant say the spirit has been kept alive to the extent it should and this film provided a good reminder to better make that effort. Im going to keep it on my list and Ill watch at least the last half hour again in the future. Peace. And R.I.P. Jerry - thanks for good times past, present and future.

I have to admit to have not seeing it but the heist scene in Rififi is kind of hard to top for my money.

Interestingly, Jean-Pierre Melville (who directed Le Cercle Rouge) was originally signed on to direct Rififi, and even had a script written which later became Bob le Flambeur. Course Dassin ended up directing Rififi, yeah, brilliant heist in that film as well.
