I actually didn't think this was Seth's best work. I'm a big fan of his "Closer Look" segment, but I don't find him that funny with his one-liners.

Also, genuine question: why did Oprah win the Cecil B. de Mille Award? I mean, she's undoubtedly a successful person, but her filmography is pretty mediocre.

The last few winners were:
Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Jodie Foster, Woody Allen, George Clooney, Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep.

There's no way you could argue that Oprah belongs in that company. (not really sure why Clooney is there either, TBH, also get lost Woody Allen, you creepy old fuck).

But still, upvote for the sentiment if not the execution.

Had no idea Martin Scorsese has actually replied to this rumor. I would've imagined he'd keep quiet forever. His response surprised me: http://youtube.com/watch?v=I6OXjnBIW-4

This movie is based on the Japanese film, InFernal Affairs.

I think you mean the Hong Kong movie "Infernal Affairs."

I still need to see this movie.

It's a movie that won't disappoint, so make sure you do see it! Defiantly, one of Martin Scorsese's great films and that is saying something.
The "magic" tag helps define the feeling your left with after seeing this film so its use is well used here, for many reasons well deserved and earned...


Personally, I found it to be HUGELY overrated. I really came away from it going 'meh, it was ok'.

* I really disliked the forced colour palette of teal and orange
* I disliked that it was set in France, and yet everyone spoke English
* I found the story just basic fare, with just the fact that it was saying how life changing and wondrous film was being the thing which probably made those in the industry think it was the best thing in the world because it made their profession seem more important than it was.
* I found the humour (especially that of Sasha Baron Cohen's character) to be pretty low level slapstick.

I didn't hate it, but it's not a film I would chose to watch again. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if it weren't so hyped as being the second coming of christ.

For some reason, the animated trailer (didn't know it had non-animated parts either) didn't excite me but then I saw its reviews and high ratings.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Definitely could use a bit of moog or some Steely Dan Chords. http://www.hakwright.co.uk/steelydan/mu-major.html

I'm going to do a techno remix of it. Do you separate guitar and voice tracks? I know my dagsong is going to be epic!

"...you've got to check out "The Last Waltz" from Martin Scorsese- probably the best live concert ever captured on film."

Saw that years ago with some friends. Loved it. Great show all around, but there's a scene where Robertson and Scorsese are having a talk that was just priceless. Scorsese is interviewing Robertson. Scorsese talks really fast, typical New Yorker, asks a question and can't shut up long enough to hear the answer. Robertson talks pretty slowly. And I can't remember what Scorsese said, but it sort of implied how slow Robertson was.

Well, there was a fly buzzing around Robertson when Scorsese said that, and Robertson caught it in mid-flight and tossed it on the table between him and Scorsese.

That's how I remember it, anyway.

Robertson is a legend. Oddly, for one who has made such a huge contribution to American music he seems to be known by name to only a few, but everrybody knows his music. I mean just hum a few bars of "The Weight" or "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" or "Up on Cripple Creek" and all of a sudden people go "Oh... yeah I know that one". The guy is a monster guitar player and one of the best American songwriters of the 20th century. The contributions that he has made, along with the rest of The Band can't be overstated, and don't forget that when people talk about Dylan going electric- this was the guy who was his chief collaborator. *quality stuff.

He's probably also one of the worst singers in the world. The Band released 9 LPs with Robertson writing the majority of the material, but he only sang on 2 tracks in total. When the group performed live his microphone was usually turned off or was so low as to be inaudible. The Band played the Woodstock festival, but their set is nowhere to be seen in the movie- the rumour as to why is that Robbie's mic was live and the whole set was ruined.

This track is from his last album, released in 1998- an eternity in rock and roll years. I met Robbie at a book-signing in TO and asked him about any upcoming solo projects, he said he had something in the works- this was about 4 years ago. Takes him a long time to come up with new material I guess- he's only released 4 solo albums since The Band's last LP in 1977. Wikipedia says he's got a project in the works with Clapton. I'll be there in the store on release day.

For fans of Rock, Country, Soul, Folk, Funk, Blues, Roots (am I missing anything) you've got to check out "The Last Waltz" from Martin Scorsese- probably the best live concert ever captured on film.
