And Another Thing....

Continuing on from my previous rant about "The Life Aquatic", what was with that topless chick? A joke that was unfunny the first time continued on, ad nauseum. Maybe it just displays the juvenile nature of the producer/director, I don't know.

One positive I also forgot to mention was the quality of the music in the film. Ask my friend and he'll rave about Seu Jorge's adaptation of David Bowie songs into Portuguese. My personal favourites however are the little bits of synth music - Ping Island and Ned's Theme Take 1. These delights can be sampled at

For all you trivia buffs out there these nuggets of pure gold were composed by Mark Mothersbaugh, a former member of the 80's group Devo. I'm a big fan of the so called "decade of shame" so this really floated my boat. Check out Mark's story at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Mothersbaugh.

Sorry, no wacky picture today.
