Forgot all about that and was imagining he had died in that apartment on Jones Street.

Popped in, thought about approaching Baz to show off my new Elvis karaoke chops, but security gave me the stink-eye so I thought better of it.

Listening to the new Elvis On Tour box: four complete concerts from April 1972, the movie on Blu-Ray, and two discs of outtakes and rehearsals and whatnot. These live discs are insane. He only plays for an hour, but does between 20 and 25 songs — it's a positively Ramones-esque pace. The set list is mostly the same from night to night, with a few changes. And the band absolutely destroys, of course.

finally watched the movie, was taken aback by how wall-to-wall insane it was, felt like a good 60% of it was just insane montages and transitions
Tom Hanks in a fat suit was really weird to watch. he reminds me of Malkovich as Teddy KGB in Rounders. that accent he uses is so over the top, I just can't believe an actual human being sounded like that. he talks like he's a big cartoon rat or something. that said I haven't actually heard Tom Parker talk, so...

Yeah, that's a fantastic description, and dead on.

Hahaha yes! The whole thing is so garish and episodic and hard to digest in one sitting I think of it as Elvis: The CD-ROM

I liked it in the theater but don't know if I could sit through it again.

It’s basically a bummer.

It’s all true I have no doubt but still

I learned a few things though

Maybe it’s a bummer in a good way, I still have to ponder.

Lisa Marie didn’t like the script :(
Would love to see what someone else around here thinks

I saw lots of positive reviews out there. Think maybe around here Eric didn’t like it. Me, I’d much rather rewatch THE VIRGIN SUICIDES.

I can use one of my expiring February hoopla credits for that

Hmm. Can't verify my library. Will have to wait until Monday I guess.

Neither Elvis nor Priscilla had any real chariisma in this movie, as far as I could see.

It's second-tier Coppola but good.
