Last Movie Seen

Oblivion. Tom Cruise Sci-Fi flick. Entertaining.
Anything with Olga Kurylenko is good
Magic City - prime nude scenes.
Half Baked. The opening scene where the 4 friends smoke a joint for the first time is incredible.
New Jurassic World. It's basically Jurassic Park 3 (which sucks) but with less annoying characters. A big part of the movie is a dad who takes his kids sailing across the Atlantic in a world where dinosaurs exist in hot places. I shit you not. Entertaining enough movie but a bungled franchise that should be sci-fi horror like the book and first movie that instead makes kids movies.
If you're interested enough and need something to read, Hammer Of the Gods is an interesting documentary. It's a pretty dirty unflattering portrayal.
The best character in their whole band and crew was roadie/bodyguard Richard Cole. His description of the Seattle waterfront hotel fishing incident alone is worth buying the book.
I enjoyed Becoming LZ. Really made me appreciate 1 and 2 a lot more. I agree with EK that LZ suffered from listener burnout and fatigue more that the Beatles and almost any other band. There just wasn't a lot of music like LZ in 1969
It was also interesting to see all the hits Page played on as a session guy. I know our autistic contingent has it memorized but I had forgotten a lot of it
He was already rich when they formed the band.
Most of our heroes are bad people. Quite common really. But their actions remain. You could say that the song remains the same

Overboard, 1987 version. Goldie gave birth to her son Wyatt in July of 86 and this was released in December of 87 and she was in peak physical condition.
There’s some FREE PUB for the Beavers in the mini golf grand opening scene.
Goldie turns 80 in November.

Couple things jumped out in the LZ movie
They finished out the Yardbirds contract with a show in Norway. It was a young audience. The jarheads looked on in stunned silence and amazement.
Then they did a live BBC show with kids holding their hands over their ears and adults dressed like they were going to church sitting in stunned silence. Maybe a shake of the head and wry smile if they saw the camera on them
Nobody was grooving but nobody booed or left either. It was something new

I wish I would have saved the tweet, but somebody responded to the comment about how the book is all horror in the vain of, "If they made the movies exactly like the book, then 75% of the film would be technical diagrams and smoke filled discussions about cloning."
I saw that exact tweet and actually laffed out loud. It's at the top of my list of movies that are better than the book (not that it's not a good book) and I thought they did it perfectly maintaining the darkness of the book but still making it a blockbuster movie. I would love to see one of the more horror versions which were pitched in the development but don't think they land as well.
Feels like the 60s era groups are officially fading from memory outside of The Beatles and maybe The Stones and they're trying to do the Jordan The Last Dance thing (Dylan and Queen movies too) and remind everyone how great they were, but it's not gonna happen with LZ. They had a good 40-year run as being kind of a cooler and heavier than The Beatles and Stones but feels like they've really fallen off the last 5-10 years and they're gonna have problems with being viewed as vampires of black music and banging 12 year olds from now on.
I think LZ will win in the end
Not as hot as a lot of the 60s chicks but for a dude that looks like Bob Dylan, she was probably a pretty good catch.
Plus the hot chicks were banging rockers not folk singers.
I enjoyed it more than I thought. The "mailed in" aspect to me was a few performances (Tom Hardy, his wife in the show), and the usual problems of needing to make a 10 hour movie that hits all the plot points Paramount thinks will give it enough views.
The lawyer chick was
Liked the Boob Dylan movie. I'm pro Chalamet - we need more people culturally in this country who show it's okay to like artsy fartsy shit and sports and kind of be a bro at the same time. I can't be the only one.
