Some weekend viewing [and listening]
The Observer Review rounds-up 50 cultural highlights and curiosities available on YouTube. And if Film by Samuel Beckett, directed by Alan Schneider and starring silent movie legend Buster Keaton, isn’t to your taste [part 2 here and the final part], try some of the others – Dinah&Ella, or Aretha Franklin, maybe Martin Scorsese on Mean Streets or, perhaps, William Burroughs.. Or even Vladimir Nabokov on Lolita. There’s much more in the collected links to spend a Sunday afternoon watching. Enjoy. Adds A ‘young fella’ in the comment zone points to the uninterrupted version of Film online.
And, because I can, here are a couple of others. I’ll just link back to the video of Johnny Cash. And repost Mr Jagger et al.
YES!
If you want the full “Film” uninterrupted, http://www.ubu.com/film/beckett_film.html
….Ubu is a great site by the by.
Thanks for that, young fella!
Thanks Pete…..see you next Wednesday after watching these, which don’t include the four following artistic masterpieces:
Carlos Alberto
Barry John
Ysgol Glanaethwy>
Only Men Aloud – Danny Boy>
Last one fab..
Take your time, Dewi. ;o)
Btw, were those links your cultural highlights.. or curiosities?
Just astonished they were left out of the artistic highlights of the last 40 years….or this weekend….Last Choir Standing – or last two choirs standing…..
Curiosities then, Dewi.
Highlights to me Pete – but no big deal – if it ain’t too late for people to buy the paper there’s a great CD of the best of British comedy with today’s Observer…..worth the cover price on its own.
I’ll buy culturally significant to you, Dewi.
But highlights?
2 Kwl 4 Skwl You ain’t supposed to be able to cover the Beatles but this girl is so cool (Completely off topic – neither a highlight nor a curiosity…)
Working my way through these – Bob D and Joan superb – however this is best:
Does anyone have an E harmonica? Wonderful – time and place.
There’s lots of good stuff in there, Dewi.
Thanks Pete – it’s only Monday – I’m half way through.
the best Billie Holliday
b4 I watch the rest I have to watch Billie above a number of times – totally wonderful.
Forgive me for not proceeding – ain’t Billie totally superb.
Next….
Finished – thanks Pete
