Tennessee Wiliams


at Filmhouse Cinema Edinburgh-

Here's the full programme! I want to go to ALL of these films-


They are showing Joseph Losey's classic 'Boom!' which is one of my favourite films..., and i am really interested to see what 'This Property is Condemned' is like.

"well you're the only girl i ever met who hates hey jude
maybe that's the reason i'm so in love with you"

love this lyric. it's from Sparks' 1983 album Sparks in Outer Space. Watch the youtube here if you like...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvQNeepVbU

i've heard this described as Sparks' 'dumbest album', and, well, maybe, but it is one of my favourites, especially 'rocking girls' where this lyric comes from and the songs 'popularity' and 'cool places', which seem to get a lot of the pies that are thrown for being 'dumb'... fine, try this out for size and tell me if it's dumb. (it is a bit dumb i guess, but it is so accurate and when you hear it it is just amazing, the way his high voice lingers over the 'ty' of popularity....... if this is vacant it is vacant lots):

'Popularity'

"I like you and you like me a lot
And we do those things that can make us feel hot
Then we join some friends, all of them are all right
And we talk a while, then we climb in our cars

What a night, we all drive into town
Where we'll park our cars, and meet the rest of our friends
At a place that's called, I forget what it's called
But it's really great, and all our friends will be there

I like you and you like me a lot
And it's nice to be all alone with you too
But it's also nice being out with our friends
Cause they're all all right, maybe that's why we're friends

I feel great, but it's getting real late
So I'll drive you home and you'll slide up real close
I'm so glad we met, and I like you so much
And I'm also glad that I got all those friends
