Monty Python free on YouTube

On YouTube a lot of Monty Python videos are posted in very bad quality. Monty Python did not like it because of that quality.

They think of publishing some videos in best quality – but this would be for free. After some time of thinking they still decided to publish Monty Python videos for free on YouTube.

And it turns out, that this was a big success. More and more people are lead to buy some of the DVDs from Monty Python. This proves, that this kind of advertisement can work.

The evening movie “Once”

If you like the singer-songwriter style of music you sureley will like Once too. Glen Hansard’s often soft and somtimes powerful voice makes his songs different in a good meaning. Check out RT’s reviews.

It starts like a romance but has a more realistic end, which some maybe think it’s open. The film started in Germany in Jan 2008.

Interesting music of today

In relation with the movie Crash I heard first time of Bird York. The title song of this movie is “In the Deep” from her album “The Velvet Hour”.

I tried the album “Wicked Little High” and I liked it. Especially the song “Freedom”. the album has a kind of relaxing sound.

All links goes to last.fm my favourite music recommendation system. You can listen to music similar to an entered artist.

Today’s movie “Crash”

A maybe difficult to understand music with a lot of toching moments. I found it very realistic. I think this a strenght of this movie even there is a lot of revenge in it. It does not try to tell the story in black and white; means that one character is good and another bad. The world is not so easy, I think.

I appreciate that this movie is intend to lead into a discussion about this subject, which I assumed was the main reason why the story goes like a rollercoaster. Some want to see it again because it can be confusing because of this complexity of this movie. This might be the reason why the tomatometer is cautious.
car jackers – steel cars
touching moments
redneck – white member of the Southern rural laboring class
You embarass me. – You make me looking foolish.
brake – used to stop a car
