Phone Booth may have been last weekend’s biggest box-office draw, but that just means so many more people were walking out of theaters, asking themselves, “What was that exactly?”
I still hold Colin Farrell blameless, of course. For your consideration, my audio review:
Phone Booth: Save a buck or two (2:00, transcript)
Production note: earlier today I took the time to download and install Kazaa, mostly just to find Cake’s “Never There” for this audio post. I thought the song’s opening dial tone would be appropriate for a movie about being stuck in a phone booth; unfortunately it’s barely audible. Anyway, only later did I realize that “Never There” is on Prolonging the Magic, a CD that I already have. Doh.
Prolonging the Magic…excellent. Sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell!
Cake rocks.
Gaaah, I hate it when I do stuff like that, which is almost always. I’m sure it took five years to download as well.
But yes, Cake is tops.
Just a note in case you didn’t know… Kazaa is loaded with spyware, adware, marketing trojans, or whatever you wanna call them. So if this causes you any concern, I would uninstall at your first opportunity. Not that i like to advertise any software, but WinMX is a free and safe p2p program.
Mmm, I love Cake. For a good while, I was obsessed with that song “Let Me Go,” et al.
And thanks, Carlos. Yeah, I’d heard about the Kazaa’s extra baggage, the most visible of which are the insidious pop-up ads. Ugh. I may follow your advice.
