Bruce Springsteen :: Devils & Dust
Not since The Rising have I so looked forward to a new CD release by any artist. I already have the “Devils and Dust” single and it is a great cut. Devils & Dust is rumored to be reminiscent of the dark, thoughtful Nebraska, which many consider Springsteen’s finest work. I loved that album and look forward to more social commentary from our modern day Woody Guthrie.

The early buzz from Drew is that this is a fine release from my favorite hometown heroes, Over the Rhine. If “Born” is any indication, Drew is dead-on … as usual. Drunkard’s Prayer is already out, but not on the shelves in Vegas. Thank God for Amazon!
Just upgraded from Wordpress 1.2 to the “bleeding-edge” Wordpress 1.5.x [Strayhorn+] edition … basically a subversion snapshot. I have to say, the upgrade went off with nary a hitch.
For a base “skin”, I chose “Desert Theme” by Dimension 2K. I live in Las Vegas. It seems appropriate. I’ll be tweaking this layout. So, stay tuned.

Wow. I rented this because there were no other quality choices and I thought it might be interesting background noise while I work. Sure, it won last year’s Razzie but I thought it might have some redeeming qualities. Nope.
For the first twenty minutes, I thought it had potential. Then, comes the weak CGI cat in the death/resurrection scene. It was all downhill from there. Weak character and plot development. Weaker CGI later. The fight coreogrpahy was interesting and that was the only positive.
I am surprised. Halle Berry made such a stink about having a “weak” character in X-Men. She did not understand that Storm is a laconic, intense character. She got a lot more to in this movie, but it proves that old adage; “Quality is more important than quantity”.
