Sad-Sort-Of-Sunday. (Updated.)

I was approached by a family this Thursday, while I was at the doctors. They belong to the same medical centre that I do. They are longstanding members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They offered to give me a ride back from church on Sundays. I don't mind walking one way but both ways is too much for me.
Lost data signal halfway through writing this. I am feeling sad today. Was sick yesterday and couldn't write. I can't write on sadness. It's like walking all over emotional eggshells. May try later...can't say for sure.

A MUSIC REVIEW , AND TWO MOVIE REVIEWS compliments of THE NZ HERALD.
OH.AND THE REST OF MY DIARY ENTRY ENTRY THAT I LOST. (THE CULPRIT IS ALWAYS TRANSMISSION FAILURE....)


Nickleback, according to the slick and HONEST reviewer : Karl Puschmann (New Zealand Herald) is a lucrative um...musical farce. Now Karl. This is where we have a problem : type-casting. It happens in the movie industry too. To break out of type-casting has a lot to do with the how much guts a particular band wants to change.
Angus Young - ACDC - had this to say AND I quote : "People say we made eleven albums that are all the same. [Get it fucken right.] We made twelve albums that sound the same. I agree with Puschmann, ACDC is in a class of it's own : "The difference being," Puschmann writes, "that you always [KNEW] those guys [MEANT] it." Type-casting is a tricky business. Yeahp. I'll have to wholeheartedly agree with Puschmann about Nickleback. And this is why. Karl has done his research 100 fucking percent. Even I couldn't have sat and listened through Nickleback's entire repertoire. I also love their first two albums. Oneust remember that this is a commercial industry and it takes a lot of guts and risk to create diversity from the very same band "signature sound". The sixties, seventies and eightiez & some of the early nineties saw this happening. I believe diversity within "an industry of one" - and I'm talking genre here is vital to interest momentum. I may be a university failure but I've carried on my education at will, because I love music. There are technical performers and there are "performers of the heart" - combine the two and THAT is simply incredible. AC/DC has kept me well for nearly a decade now along with Jimmy Barnes long after they faded from the commercial limelight. Along with all the others. BULLSHIT. These early rock musicians are TIMELESS and forerunners of this genre.

I love rock music. Thankyou daughter for reintroducing me to it.

A Kiwi movie well worth seeing. "PORK PIE." Amazing.
"SPLIT" M.Night Shyamalan.
I'm not going with general flow of reviews about the latter. I think it's well worth checking out, even though I have not seen so many Shyamalan cult movies.
This film reminds me of a book I read - loosely - "My Life In Pieces."


Film review of Pork Pie can be read in the Thursday publication of The New Zealan Hearald : Time Out. I'm yet to see both but will probably only see one of them on the big screen. Then I'll review it. Wait till the other one comes out for domestic purchase, then I'll review that as well. The original "Goodbye Pork Pie" was a Kiwi classic. Please don't remake "Came A Hot Friday." How about "Sleeping Dogs" instead? I don't know. Something to think about...

Feeling less sad now, so was able to write this.

THE REST OF MY DIARY ENTRY I LOST :-


.....sorry. Can't do it...feel a bit better now.
