Yep they alone worth the price of the admission. It's a pretty good show I thought except the piss-take version of 'Sweet Child.'Quote:

Got Kings of Leon first album, not my sort of thing at all. Kasabian? yeah, right.... Oasis first two are good, after that nope. Rock music finished for me after 'What's The Story...' Oasis were the last proper rock stars.
Yes, possibly. I was 18 in 1977 which probably explains my penchant for things purple, black & (sometimes) pink.Quote:

Know what you mean. These days I tend to have 'flirtations' with new bands, or bands that are new to me but my ardour seldom lasts & then popping 'in rock' on the 401 is like slipping on a comfy pair of slippers.
Not sure.. ive more hooks into me music wise on recent stuff than old stuff i think, or recent to me anywayQuote:

Not sure I agree about the age. My formative years, music-wise were the late '60s, yet the '70 produced so many good acts that the decade's music forms a sizable part of my collection. I was still listening to the music of the '80s, '90s and the '00s, and adding some acts to my collection (Jools Holland's 'Later' and Glastonbury were/are a big help in that regard).Quote:

(BTW I do like Oasis's first two discs, but that more of it reminding me of a time and a place. Guns & Roses, Kasabian, Franz Ferdinand never did anything for me either.)

John Ford's 'The Grapes of Wrath' is more than just your standard rites-of-passage viewing for burgeoning movie-buffs. It exists beyond any semblance or notion of a timeless classic because its name and the images from this most excellent motion picture have ingrained themselves into our cultural collective consciousness. The film is best watched as something to be experienced, one which successfully captures a particular moment in time with genuine honesty and concern. The Darryl F. Zanuck production of John Steinbeck's Pulitzer-Prize winning novel is an enduring masterpiece of American cinema, permanently etched into history because it forever carries the immense weight and emotion of the period it so brazenly and accurately depicts.

This remastered bluray's overall quality of presentation is gorgeous, retaining a visible grain structure throughout from beginning to end. The 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 encode displays a wonderfully crisp and bold contrast balance with lots of clean, vibrant whites and excellent clarity into the far distance. Presented in its original 1.33:1 aspect ratio, the high-def picture also comes with exceptional black levels, considering its age.
Don't know if the snap off screen does it justicehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...069cfd3054.jpg

An excellent and thought provoking film. Did you write that review Grant?Quote:

yeah, you can see why they changed the still born section/breastfeeding etc.. it caused a storm in the book, far less trying to get that passed a censor, and thats not taking into consideration the viewers horror. no, it had to be changed.
and no, no all mine. fantastic film tho still... the book is incredibly horrific tbh and i'm glad they changed it
Typical American hypocrisy and prudery. There are far more disturbing scenes in the book than that of Rose of Sharon becoming a wet nurse, having lost her baby.

I disagree - it's an awful movie, having all the subtlety of the book replaced by over the top melodrama. Sadly only memorable for it being Edward G. Robinson's last film; and even his death scene is cringingly mawkish.Quote:
