a few points
1.
This Kings of Leon song ain't so bad. I'd heard it on the radio a few times, and didn't think much of it. A couple dozen spins on Media Player, though, and now I'm a convert. I didn't dislike their first album half as much as I thought I would, and am actually kind of interested in hearing this new one.
2. I'm two-thirds of the way through
Apocalypse Now (the redux), and I'm none too impressed. What a yawning chasm of aimlessness. I'm over two hours in, and the point he's been repetitively hammering home wore thin at about the 45th minute. Yeah, great, war's fuckin' nuts, and these kids don't know shit, and Fishburne was one ugly kid, okay, yes, we get it, dude. What a sprawling mess. Points for Chef's partial Van Dyke, though.
3. After ten minutes of this past
SNL I wanted to put a bullet through my head. Maybe that's what got to Thompson.
