    Year of Lead

    If 1939 was the Golden Year of Movies then I'm declaring 2010 as the year of Lead. Just my opinion.

    I couldn't agree more, Bob. More stinkers than I can remember.

      Oh come on now. It's still just mid-year. With great efforts like:

      Bitch Slap
      The Tooth Fairy
      Clash Of The Titans
      Jonah Hex


      how can you say that Bob? :B

      I'll throw Machete on that pile even though the only thing I have to go on is the trailer. I think I'm safe though.

        Even though there have been a bunch of stinkers this year, there were some that I felt pretty good about:

        Green Zone
        Iron Man II

          I'll have to agree, so far not very many good products. My own opinion, I didn't much care for Iron Man II or Green Zone, (see my reviews on those if interested) and thought that Avatar had problems, so I can't think of ANYTHING this year that has really grabbed me yet.

          Oh, maybe Toy Story 3. Thought that was pretty good.

            I liked Green Zone and I have high hopes for Robin Hood, which should be released soon on Blu-ray.

                Maybe I should make a movie real quick. Could be my best and only shot in my life to win an Oscar.

                    Hey Chris, what did you have in mind? Mindless comedy? SciFi? Mocumentary? Docu-drama? Exploitation film? Combination of all of them?

                      How about a genre something along the lines of "let's-make-a-movie-that-grosses-10,000%-of-cost-and-generates-merchandising-rights"?



                      In all seriousness, I'd love to make a movie someday, but I don't have anything particular in mind.

                      Okay, maybe if it stars Monica Belluci, Christina Hendricks, Julianne Moore, and Jennifer Connelly. That's be a great start. Throw in Sean Connery and Sam Elliot just because those guys are awesome and I'd love to meet them.

                        Chris,
                        I made a movie in Thailand, well more of a documentary, if you want I can email it to you. After 40 plus years of filmaking it is the only one I ever made. Costs under $5000 to make.

                          Bob Dylan's latest tour
                          by Bob
                          With an average of 200 concert dates per year, Dylan pretty much hits all parts of the country each year. I try to catch him every time he plays in the Los Angeles area and even go to multiple concerts when possible. Every concert is a surprise and every tour always has an exceptional band.

                          Out of curiosity, I just ran a few cuts from the Flying Cowboys album through Wavelab, and figured out why it probably causes your average amplifier to clip very regularly, as Bob Cordell showed at last year's RMAF Audio workshops.

                          If your an old timer in audio, you probably heard his name before, maybe you even met him, knew him, or broke bread with him. He was a well known poster at AA, a manufacturer of fine cables, consultant to Parasound, an audiophile and tweaker savant, and it seems a friend of most all that knew him....

                          I liked this movie It was pretty funny. Jack Black is generally one dimensional and this movie was no exception, but the movie fit his style. Now this is not a classical comedy, but the humor was there consistantly. It was a mix between understated and overstated, generally with a dry and sometime...
