I would see this:

Although quite typical for the era and origin, Från kyffen till Hälsobostäder leaves the modern audience wanting to press the fast-forward button. Long nonsense panoramic shots of cities of little interest in Sweden blended with dull acting makes this one of HSB:s less interesting cinematic projects. However, when it arrived it had a significant impact on Swedish standard of living specifically housing, large crowds were drawn into this hour-long movie. The political message is not well hidden and it seems that the director is not ashamed of making it extra clear even in sequences that need no further explanation. If you want to familiarize yourself with Swedish movies, this should not be your premier choice.

Till the Clouds Roll By, if it's the movie I'm thinking of, was insanely boring.

― Casuistry, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 05:25 (nineteen years ago)

If what I see in Bergman movies is correct, Sweden is insanely boring but for that annoying absense of God.

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 06:01 (nineteen years ago)

(just kidding, btw... I love Bergman)

I had breakfast at the Pump Room the first time we visited Chicago.

― Jeff, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 11:00 (nineteen years ago)

The Pump Room? Is that at 3246 N. Halstead?

― Jesse, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 11:22 (nineteen years ago)

j/k LOL and stuff

― Jesse, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 11:22 (nineteen years ago)

We stayed at the hotel attached to the Pump Room, even. I would go there for drinks. I think it might be fun.

Did you know: There is a bar in the basement of Macy's?

― Jenny, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

WAKE UP CHICAGO AND TALK TO ME

― Jenny, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 13:55 (nineteen years ago)

I'm awake. Busy as all get out though.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey jenny

― n/a, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 13:59 (nineteen years ago)

My parents are moving to NC on thursday. That is kind of weird.

― n/a, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 13:59 (nineteen years ago)

Whoa, really? Where in NC?

― Jenny, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:00 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah? My dad and stepmom are moving to SC pretty soon.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:02 (nineteen years ago)

Asheville

― n/a, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:25 (nineteen years ago)

If yous go to the Pump Room, go in the little circular room off the bar -- there's a fantastic photo of Richard Pryor in there. He's in a sweatshirt and standing with the doorman, in full regalia, and they have exactly the same moustache. I can't even begin to unpack it, but it's such a good picture.

― Eazy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

I am excited about it mostly because I like NC and I will get to visit them there but it also means I probably won't be back in DC for a while.

― n/a, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

Asheville, eh? If I had to move back to NC and I could get a job there that didn't involve playing the fiddle or waiting tables, Asheville would be my first pick place to live.

― Jenny, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

Argh:

Today: High 51. Tomorrow: High 35.

Last night some older arty folks were saying all sorts of good things about Ashville.

― Eazy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:30 (nineteen years ago)

Were they fiddlers?

― Jenny, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

High of 35? Fuck.

― Jenny, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

A thermin/gamelan exerimental music guy and a performance artist of the old school.

― Eazy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

Remember how I watched The Crow the other day? I keep thinking of the scene where Eric breaks into the pawn shop to get whatserface's engagement ring back and the pawn shop owner shoots Eric but he doesn't die and the pawn shop owners response is to chant, "SHIT ON ME! SHIT ON ME! SHIT ON ME!"

Anyway, I wanted to say, "High of 35? Shit on me!" but I didn't want anyone to take my literally.

― Jenny, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:34 (nineteen years ago)

When I lived on Winnemac off of Clark, I found a piece of cardboard on the street one day, with ballpoint-pen writing on it basically requesting that.

― Eazy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:36 (nineteen years ago)

With 'THANK YOU' at the end.

― Eazy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:37 (nineteen years ago)

Heeeeeeeeey ILXors. Would anybody be up for taking a look at my resume for typos and the like? It's time to start applying for jobs, I guess.

― Jenny, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

I will DL when I get home. I like that Klaxons song, couldnt' decide whether to put it on my mix or not. And I haven't heard the new Fall yet, scared off by terrible reviews.

― n/a, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

Hey thanks for the restaurant recs. Now which night--Sunday or Monday (April 29 & 30)--is most promising to meet up with as many of you as possible? And where? Note: I will not be able to fully tie one on in true DC style, as I have to be awake and reasonably articulate at an ungodly hour, but I will teach all of you how to eat cell phones.

Oh and the brief quincie rundown: that's me, real name Kate, DC inhabitant, 33 yrs. old, medical editor, dislikes Superchunk.

(all fits on one CD)

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

The new Fall really isn't terrible, but its not very good either. If that makes sense. There are like two or three songs that I really love and the rest I could pretty much do without.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah, disclaimer - my mix doesn't fit on one CD. The people I was making it for were just intending to drop it onto mp3 players as a playlist, so I had a little freedom to stretch.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

Kenan - yes please.

― n/a, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

um, has anyone on this bitch ever had their credit card number stolen? plz tell me the paperwork isn't too bad kthx.

― JuliaA, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't make a mix, but I finished a slightly obnoxious drum & bass tune, I will upload if anyone wants to hear it. Don't feel obligated.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

Nick... I will ysi tonight.

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

Note: I will not be able to fully tie one on in true DC style, as I have to be awake and reasonably articulate at an ungodly hour

then what's the point, really? i'm sure we can figure something out.

kenan, which version of "i'm through with white girls" is it? from the album?

xpost to julia- talk to dan, i think his debit card was comprimised.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

I would like mixes.

I would drink with all this DC ilxor. Either night is doable but Sunday's probably better.

Julia: I had my debit card number stolen, which is kind of the same thing. There was some paperwork, but not much. Of course, my experience may not be typical, I have no idea... good luck! The uncertainty of the whole ordeal was the worst, as well as having to deal with not having the card for 2 weeks.

― dan m, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

KENAN, YES, WANT!

― Laurel, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:15 (nineteen years ago)

Julia, 69 (= pete from DC) had his number stolen, and iirc it wasn't actually too bad--pop over to the dc board and I'm sure he'd tell you how shit went down.

Also: I would like this CD, too! 100% Superchunk free!

― quincie, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

It really seems like V|SA et al. have their shit together now in dealing with this kind of theft, which is of course a little depressing because that's how you know it happens all the time...

― dan m, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:17 (nineteen years ago)

I think either of those quincie dates should be fine for me

― n/a, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

it'll probably work out--citibank caught it within a day (and a couple thou of charges).

thanks dan. xp cool, i will, quincie.

― JuliaA, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

kevin: it's from Sympathetic Sounds of Detroit

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

that's the way way better version kenan, good choice.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:21 (nineteen years ago)
