dvd releases 7/8 and more naked people

DVD picks for tuesday 7/8/08: none.

DVD releases of movies that are decent:
Mon Oncle Antoine (Claude Jutra)
The Tracey Fragments (Bruce Mc Donald)
and for non-canadian cinema: Joe Strummer: I used to be in the Clash, but now I'm dead (Julien Temple)

DVD releases I have not seen yet and am looking forward to:
Chop Shop (Ramin Bahrani)
Love Songs (Christophe Honore)


I heard an old story today about some guy who found out his wife/girlfriend was cheating on him and after they broke up, he started putting footage of him and now ex-wife/girlfriend having sex at the end of porno VHS tapes with "for a good time call" and her new phone #.

People who record themselves or let themselves be recorded having sex get what they deserve. When will Jerry Springer culture end? The real problem is people like me that are disgusted by celebrity gossip and news of the uncouth but have that car crash fascination and won't stop reading about them.

One last random non-sequitur: Jesse Helms died at the end of last week. I've barely heard anything about this. I figured there would be people rejoicing.

Ironic that you should mention Jesse Helms and the lack of attention... I just read this in the Boston Metro this morning.
