[1284]

{C So } what movies have you seen lately? /

[1229]

{D Well, } [ I saw, {F um, } + lately I've seen ] SOAP DISH. /

[1284]

Oh. /

[1229]

Which was a, - /{C and } that was a lot of fun. /It was kind of a silly little film about soap operas and things. /

[1284]

{D Well, } {D see } that's something I want to see, /

[1229]

Yeah. /

[1284]

that's on my list to see. /

[1229]

Yeah, /[ it was, + it was ] okay. /It was [ not, + {F um, } not ] a wonderful film /{C but } [ [ it was, + {E I mean } it was, ] + it was ] cute but not the biggest laugh I've seen. /

[1284]

{F Oh, } okay. /

[1229]

I saw THELMA AND LOUISE.

[1284]

{F Oh, } did you? /

[1229]

A couple of days ago, and really liked that. /Actually I saw it twice because I liked it so much. /

[1284]

Oh. /{D See } that's also on my list. /

[1229]

{C And } [ it's very, + it's really ] disturbing but a good movie. /

[1284]

A disturbing movie, /how do you mean? /

[1229]

{D Well, } it was, - /{F um, } let's see. /The, {F um, } - /[ it's, + it's ] different, /[ it's kind of, + it's ] an [ action adventure kind of, + {D you know, } shoot 'em up kind of ] film. /

[1284]

Right. /

[1229]

{C But } it's with women in it instead of men /{C so } [ that's kind of a -- +

[1284]

A switcheroo, {F huh? } /

[1229]

-- that's kind of a ] twist on the normal thing. /{C And } it made me think a lot about, {D you know, } - /you would applaud Bruce Willis in DIE HARD if he was doing this /{C but } you might not be [ so -- +

[1284]

Right. /

[1229]

-- {D you know, } so ] encouraging,

[1284]

.

[1229]

of (( Susan Sarandon and then Gena Davis )) when they do it. /

[1284]

When the shoe is on the other foot and see how it, -/

[1229]

{C So, } that was kind of interesting. /I've, - /{C but } I really enjoyed it. /

[1284]

Oh. /

[1229]

{C So, } I w-, -/

[1284]

{C Because } [ that, + that ] just reminds me of, {D you know, } {D like } back in school /{C and, } {D you know, } the girlfriends just taking off for a day or something.

[1229]

Yeah, /that's kind of what it was. /

[1284]

Just getting in trouble and probably not that much trouble /{C but, } -/

[1229]

Right. /

[1284]

{F um, } yeah. /

[1229]

They had started out with that, /then they got into lots of trouble. /

[1284]

Before we found the shopping malls that's what we did. /

[1229]

Uh-huh. /

[1284]

Yeah, /{D well, } [ I'll have to put that, + I'll have to keep that ] on my list then. /

[1229]

Yeah. /I also saw that Madonna movie. /

[1284]

Oh. /

[1229]

It's TRUTH OR DARE /{C and } that was pretty scandalous. /

[1284]

Scandalous? /

[1229]

Yeah, /it was kind of, - /yeah, /Madonna --

[1284]

I can imagine. /

[1229]

-- she's pretty trashy. /{C And so } [ it was, + it was ] interesting . /

[1284]

I guess she does it for the social value of showing you what trash is, {F huh? } /

[1229]

Righ-, /{D well, } I think she kept saying that, {F uh, } /they talked about her, /[ it, + it ] was a film of her concert, {F um, } tour she had taken through [ all, + all ] around the world. /{C And } they were all (( )) to her at the Vatican city and wouldn't let her perform in Rome, /{C and } she,

[1284]

{F Huh. } /

[1229]

kept saying that her show was not garbage. /It had a social message to it /{C and, } -/

[1284]

You just had to find it. /You had to wade through it and find it . /

[1229]

Right. /We never quite believed that, /{C so. } -/

[1284]

You never quite got to, /

[1229]

I thought that was pushing it a little bit /{C but, } she (( )) , -/

[1284]

All I know about that woman is that she's an [ in-, + incredible ] (( marketeer )) . /

[1229]

She is. /She's rich . /

[1284]

Yeah, /{C and } she's rich /{C and } she, - /yeah, /{C so. } -/

[1229]

(( )) she's smart at what she does. /She knows how to do that. /

[1284]

She knows how to twist this around, {F huh? } /

[1229]

Yeah. /What did you think about DANCES WITH WOLVES when you saw it? /

[1284]

{D Well, } okay, /{D see, } we're getting back to last year. /That's probably the last movie I saw. {F Um, } DANCES WITH WOLVES, /I just adored it. /

[1229]

Really? /

[1284]

How can I tell you. /{F Um, } a couple years ago, I guess, {D well, } maybe ten years ago [ I, + I ] had read (( BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE )) /{C and,

[1229]

Uh-huh. /

[1284]

so, } {D you know, } just the general theme of the whole movie was, {F um, } pretty, - /{E I mean } I really liked it a lot. /

[1229]

Right. /

[1284]

I mean it was a real consciousness raiser, I guess. /{F Um, } {C and } I only bring up (( WOUNDED KNEE )) because that was what ten years ago you read [ and, + and ] understood, {D you know, } about the [ American pop, + Indian population, ] /

[1229]

Right. /

[1284]

{C and then } everything went away for a couple years, /

[1229]

Uh-huh. /

[1284]

{C and } now it's back again. /{C And, } {D you know, } it's sort of a popular view of, {F um, } what happened way back then. /

[1229]

Right. /

[1284]

Of course, no one will ever know. /Really I don't kn-, -/

[1229]

I know, /I was, /I wondered if, {F uh, } [ the tribes that they represented + the tribe that was ] [ the, + the ] evil tribe, if they were really as bad as it made them to be. /

[1284]

{D Well, } who knows. /{E I mean } [ [ it, + it, ] + it ] sort of showed {D like } two different types of tribes /{D like } one was a warring tribe, /{C and } the other one was, {F uh, } vegetarian kind of, {D you know, } feel good tribe.

[1229]

Right . /

[1284]

{D You know, } sort of thing, /{C so } there possibly were because you know you always have conflict in the world. /

[1229]

Uh-huh. /

[1284]

Nobody can get along peacefully . /

[1229]

Yeah, /{C but } I wonder /I thought the-, - /{C because } they made a big deal about how [ this, + this ] film was such a big leap for [ the, + the ] people [ who, + who ] were the ancestors of [ the, + this ] Indian tribe /{C and } [ that, + {D you know, } that ] was so wonderful that they done that /{C and } [ they, + {F uh, } {F uh, } I ] wonder how the ancestors of this warlike tribe if they were offended by the film, -/

[1284]

{F Oh, } I see. /

[1229]

if it, - /{D you know, } you didn't,

[1284]

Yeah. /

[1229]

hear any press about that. /

[1284]

{F Huh. } /

[1229]

I thought it was a very interesting movie. /

[1284]

{D Well, } I think so. /[ I, + {F um, } I ] have come to respect a little bit more [ the, + ] {F uh, } {D you know, } what went on here, /

[1229]

Right. /

[1284]

[ {C but, } + {C but } ] who knows how it's supposed to all end . /

[1229]

Uh-huh . /Right. /

[1284]

{D You know } [ on the, + on the ] broad scope {E I mean, } {F um, } {D like } if, {F uh, } [ [ it, + it, ] + it ] had a much bigger thing I thin-, - /meaning to me - /I think about, {D you know, } just the meaning of, {F um, } the freedom of this country [ and, + and ] what that really meant. /

[1229]

Right. /

[1284]

{C And } that was taking over somebody else's freedoms.

[1229]

Uh-huh. /

[1284]

And sort of trampling that /[ {C and, } + {F uh, } {C so } ] {D you know } [ it, + it ] meant something bigger I think. /{C But } still it was a fantas-, - /I loved the buffalo scene. /{C And } I thought Kevin Costner was just, - /I got a little sick of his mug on the screen every,

[1229]

I know the , -/

[1284]

three minutes, /{C but } he's the director, {D you know. } /{F Um, } {C but, } yeah, /[ I, + I ] just thought it was a really interesting, intense film. /

[1229]

{D Well, } that's good. /

[1284]

Intense I think is the word for it because three hours went by really fast. /

[1229]

[ [ [ That was, + that was, ] + it was, ] + it was ] good. /I looked at my watch only a few times,

[1284]

Yeah. /

[1229]

which is a good thing. /

[1284]

Ate a lot of popcorn. /

[1229]

{C But } [ it put me in a really, + it put me in a really ] bad mood, /I don't know why. /

[1284]

Did it really? /

[1229]

Yeah, /we di-, - /there were three of us who went. /We were just all [ grou-, + really grouchy ] when it was over. /

[1284]

{F Huh. } /

[1229]

{C So } we decided that may be the mark of a good film. /It made us think. /{C And so, } -/

[1284]

It made you think. /

[1229]

we were grouchy. /We felt guilty for being, -/

[1284]

[ Maybe i-, + {D well, } maybe that ] was, {F um, } -/

[1229]

.

[1284]

{C but } there are no answers, {D you know. } /

[1229]

I know /{C and } [ we, + we ] had , nothing to do with it. /

[1284]

[ That, + that ] can make you crabby, yes. /

[1229]

We were not responsible, /

[1284]

.

[1229]

{C but } we still felt the thick blame for,

[1284]

Really, /that's true. /

[1229]

what had gone on. /We could have, -/

[1284]

{C But } [ it, + it's, ] - /they sort of candy coated the western story for many years, /

[1229]

Right. /

[1284]

{C and, } {F um, } {D you know, } when the truth, {F oh, } {D well, } - /it always balances out one way or the other --

[1229]

Uh-huh. /

[1284]

-- once you get the whole story /{C but, } -/

[1229]

Yeah. /{D Well, } -/Righ-, /I do. /I'm just out of school /{C so } I've seen,

[1284]

{F Oh, } okay. /

[1229]

a lot of mo-, - / don't have a job /{C so } I (( shouldn't )) go see movies all the time. /

[1284]

{F Oh, } there you go . /

[1229]

{F Um, } I rented a good movie, {F um, } called CINEMA (( PARADESO )) --

[1284]

Oh. /

[1229]

-- which is an Italian movie --

[1284]

Oh. /

[1229]

-- which is probably the best movie I've seen ever. /It was just,

[1284]

Really? /

[1229]

wonderful. /It's, uh, story about a little boy in [ a Italian, + a little Italian ] village, /{C and } he, {F um, } owns a, {F um, } - /{C or } he works in [ a, + a ] movie [ th-, + theater ] {C and } [ it w-, + it helps ] the projectionist. /There's [ a little, + {F oh, } an old ] man who's the projectionist /{C and } he befriends this old man, /{C and then } it just tells about their friendship that lasts through all these years. /

[1284]

Oh. /

[1229]

{C And } it's just, - /{E I mean, } if you don't mind reading subtitles, - /I thought I had to kind of get beyond that. /

[1284]

.

[1229]

Those little, {D you know, } - /reading the little words at the bottom of the screen - /{C but, } {F um, } {F oh, } I just laughed and cried /{C and, }

[1284]

{F Oh, } I'll have to write that down. /

[1229]

I really loved it. /That was [ a, + a ] great one. /

[1284]

Wow. /

[1229]

{C And } other than that I, -/

[1284]

<> I'll have to write that, /[ [ have you, + have, ] + did ] you see TEXASVILLE? /Are you into,

[1229]

No, [ I had-, +

[1284]

Larry McMurtry? /

[1229]

I hadn't. ] /I had read, {F um, } THE LAST PICTURE SHOW /[ {C and } + {C but } ] that's out on video now /{C and } I haven't seen it. /{C But } I was interested in reading TEXASVILLE before I saw the movie. /

[1284]

Yeah. /

[1229]

Did you like it? /

[1284]

{F Um, } [ I, + I ] read a lot of Larry McMurtry books -- /

[1229]

Right. /

[1284]
