Has anyone else bought things from QVC and then wondered why on earth did I buy that? I've done it loads in the past and thought I was cured, but no the Daisy and Dandelion TSV got me the other week so I thought I better make an effort and use something out of it. This cute elephant is from a sheet of die cut decoupage that was included in the kit. Hmm - not very impressed at all. I thought it was...

Sung by venerable pop/folk vocalist Burl Ives and others, these are the Christmas tunes that countless American kids grew up with, and they can still bring a warm Yuletide glow into even the Grinchiest of...

Fantastic Mr. Fox Soundtrack
[CinemaRatty] Lattest Articles (Free subscription) | 11/21/2009
The Fantastic Mr Fox soundtrack. Wes Anderson loves quirk. Enigmatic characters with deadpan stares, talking and talking, and talking, and talking. With wry postmodern self-awareness. Steve Zissou....

Film: Review:Fantastic Mr. Fox
A.V. Club (Free subscription) | 11/12/2009
Visually and conceptually, Fantastic Mr. Fox doesn’t remotely resemble anything Wes Anderson has tackled before: It’s a manic kids’ movie, it’s stop-motion animated, and it’s his first film based on an outside source—a minor story by Charlie And The Chocolate Factory author Roald Dahl. But if viewers close their eyes even for a moment, they’ll immediately know...

The soundtrack of Fantastic Mr. Fox, like all Wes Anderson films, is loaded with great music that punctuate the situations. Anyone who combines Burl Ives, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones and the Wellingtons’ classic Ballad of Davy Crockett in one film is okay in my book. Anderson also pays homage to Disney’s foxy Robin [...]

Stereogum (Free subscription) | 10/22/2009
Jarvis Cocker's in banjo wrangling, jaw harp twanging mode for "Fantastic Mr. Fox AKA Petey's Song," a playful song about vittles and the handsome little fox in Wes Anderson's Roald Dahl-inspired, Videogum-beloved Fantastic Mr. Fox . Cocker voices Petey in the film, and that's your first look at him above. George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, and Bill Murray also voice the stop-motion...

`The Dusty Gleam of Temporary Wealth'
Anecdotal Evidence (Free subscription) | 10/22/2009
A poem can alter the past or at least one’s memories, and I suspect paintings and photographs possess similar magic. Here’s an example: Anthony Hecht’s “Memory” from The Light and the Darkness , his final book of poems, published three years before his death in 2004: “Sepia oval portraits of the family, Black framed, adorned the small brown-papered hall, But the...

The Weekly Celebration . Our tenth wedding anniversary! Go us! The Weekly Time Waster . The Virtual Piano . The Weekly Read . I love Chuck Klosterman. Not in that way. I just think his writing is good. His pop culture-focused essays are fantastic and his observations never cease to be insightful and inspired. So I was really curious what he'd do in his first foray into fiction - Downtown Owl . I wasn't...
