What i really like about Goya is his etchings, no doubt. The paintings are ok - some i definitely like more than others. i'm with you - the darker works are better. It has been awhile since i've perused his catalogue, though - perhaps worth a fresh look...
Well, as much as i appreciate your trying to spare me the pain of this movie, and as much as much as i might agree with you afterwards, i feel almost as though i have to see it. Maybe i'm just a cinema sadist, but i have to witness the carnage for myself.
#58 is Smokey Robinson & The Miracles with "Tears of a Clown";
#65 is "The Passenger" written and originally performed by Iggy Pop (also by Siouxsie & The Banshees);
and #72 is "Beyond the Sea" by Bobby Darin.
Yeah, i suppose i am being a little vague here... these are the ones i've read, in order of preference. Microserfs also happens to have been the first one of his i read, and the one that prompted me to explore his other books.
Thanks for the heads-up. It's funny, i just borrowed the DVD of Snatch from a friend today, and will try and get to it in the next couple of nights. From the previews, i certainly expected the flashiness and irreverence of "Lock, Stock and 2SB". I've had mixed reviews from friends. We'll see.
taryn, i too read the book after seeing the movie. absolutely loved the book, AND loved the movie. Why the discrepancy? i was just curious as to your reasons...
Well, number 2 is The Lemonheads, from It's a Shame About Ray, and the song is "Confetti"(1992)
Number 13 is Weezer, from Weezer(?), with the song "Say It Ain't So"(1994?)
Number 14 is "Number Three" by They Might Be Giants (yeah!) and number 18 is "Politician" by Cream. Those are the only two i recognised immediately. i love the other quotes, and look forward to seeing who they are attributed to.
whoo. hit a nerve with val, eh? He had a good performance in Tombstone and the Doors, and was amusing in Real Genius and Willow. I will admit that in some (most) other of his films he was...flat.

What about Underworld?
Thanks! Any good? Different from the movie version at all?
#7 is from Airplane!, and the character is the captain. Um, was it Captain Under?

I keep hearing how good it is, and how much people think i will like it, that's why i can't belive i haven't seen it. And it's the Coen brothers!

thanks taryn. You've got the right idea.
