I saw this with Leah, Masked and Anonymous — and I’ll say it was absolutely the best movie starring Bob Dylan as a radical underground dispossessed folk/rock star in a futuristic semi-thirdworld dystopia starring Jeff Bridges, Penelope Cruz, John Goodman, Jessica Lange Ed Harris, Val Kilmer, Cheech Marin, Giovanni Ribisi, Mickey Rourke and others. But I’ll also say it’s absolutely the worst in that genre as well. Leah and I got in free though, if that helps. We considered leaving about 2/3rds of the way through, but then, well, we were wondering how much worse it would get. Then Mickey Roarke became president and Bob Dylan broke a whiskey bottle and threatened another characters life. Then we knew precisely how bad it would get.
Some books recommended by pal John, with his comments:
Futureland by Walter Mosley — An amazingly fresh cyberpunk book! Superb series of short stories linked together.
Evasion by the Crimethink Collective. — Sort of a post-modern Tom Sawyer story about hopping trains, living without a job, and shoplifting to survive. Come be useful info if Bush is re-elected!
The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman — A cool motivational/Zen book that has a big positive impact on most folks who read it.
