Why why why... I can't afford... I have to wait 'til Christmas. Why should such a deserving wonderful genius type person like myself be made to wait? Oh the humanity!!!!!!
We've got the blues :(
$139 for the 7 DVD set.......that will have to be put on the back burner just due to price. Yes, we are having the blues!
Its pretty good so far...the first night was the weakest, but the other nights have kicked ass. I prefer the Ken Burns "start at the begginning and go to the present day, making connections to the present as you go" approach, but this is a fresh alternative.
SCORSESE UPSET WITH FCC CRITICISM
Source: Contact Music
Movie mogul MARTIN SCORSESE has fired back at America's strict Federal Communication Commission officials after his acclaimed blues music documentary became the target of an obscenities attack. FCC bosses have criticised TV mini-series THE BLUES for profanity they felt was unnecessary, prompting an angry Scorsese to fire back as part of a collective backlash against the censors. In a letter, the GOODFELLAS director fumes, "The language of the film was an essential element of the story... The language of blues musicians often was filled with expletives that shocked and challenged America's white-dominated society of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s." Scorsese's attack comes as TV executives at US network CBS accuse the FCC officials of levying unnecessary records fines for an episode of crime drama WITHOUT A TRACE, which featured scenes depicting a teen sex party.
