I'd left Kingston with my guitar under my coat

Listening to the Walk The Line soundtrack and Joaquin doesn't sound half bad. I'm finding Reese's voice/accent a little grating, but I have no idea what June Carter Cash sounded like IRL, so she might be spot on with that for all I know.

Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire

Joaquin Phoenix - Ring of Fire (WTL soundtrack)

So, I realize this movie doesn't quite have the Gay Cowboy quotient of others we're anticipating this fall, but who else is planning to see Walk The Line? I'm not a huge Cash fan, but trailers have looked pretty good. And by "looked pretty good" I mean "contained a lot of shots of Joaquin being all Brown Eyes McBroodsalot."

JOAQUIN, JOAQUIN, JOAQUIN!

I am definitely planning on seeing "Walk The Line" and "Shopgirl." I still need to see Proof and Capote, but "WTL" and "Shopgirl" are my two must-sees.

I'm not too keen on "Brokeback Mountain." Maybe I'll see it, but I don't believe the hype on this one.

I've heard mixed things about Shopgirl; you'll have to let me know what you think.

Is there much hype about Brokeback Mountain? I haven't really heard much in the "outside" world, as it were. I did see a complimentary piece in the NYT a couple months back, but that was pretty much it. I mean, I know my f-list and I talk a lot about it, but that's just us being dorks about the prospect of watching hot guys making out.

Although I want Dontrelle to win it.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Me too! :-/

[jaredsexual.livejournal.com]

OMG DONRELLE!

you will hear my wailing if he doesn't win.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

**laughs** I don't doubt it. People will be like, "omg, what is that god awful noise coming out of Ohio?" And I'll be like, "oh, that's just [Bad username or site: __dtrain / @ livejournal.com]. She'll be okay. Try not to worry." :-P

[jaredsexual.livejournal.com]

bwahahahaha, I believe it. *giggle*

[bakoo.livejournal.com]

Off topic, but I love your icon.

[jaredsexual.livejournal.com]

hehehe, thanks!

I didn't make it, and I forget who did (omg, don't I suck?!)

Seriously. I'm almost as excited for Walk the Line as for HP...as you said, not quite Gay Cowboy territory, but...

It seems like Joaquin has that whole preachery-talking-singing thing down. I want to use the word "declaim," but I have no idea why. I'm sorta glad they ditched the Tijuana Brass for the new version.

IRL June Carter Cash had an extremely distinctive nasal-y sorta hillbilly (in the best sense of the word) voice...that was AWESOME. So strong and sassy. Man, she was such a badass. *tear* Check out "Jackson" (particularly the Folsom Prison version) if you want to really hear her belt. I haven't heard any of the songs from the soundtrack, so I can't speak to Reese's interpretation...I hope she's not too cutesy, though.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Ooh, listening to Jackson now. I don't think I'd say Reese's voice is cutesy, but I don't think she sounds near as strong as June. June's voice is a little huskier, I'd say actually. I can tell what Reese is going for, but I don't think she quite nails it.

Walk The Line looks good, but I'm not a fan of musical biopics. I like my bipoics historical with battle scenes.

And I had no idea that HP had a Gay Cowboy Quotient! .:wink:.

I'm the same way! But I did so enjoy Ray last year, and Joaquin's performance (read: Joaquin) looks compelling, so I may go. I may drag my dad, who though he claims to hate Country Music, knows the words to an awful lot of Johnny Cash songs.

And I had no idea that HP had a Gay Cowboy Quotient! .:wink:.

LOL. And Chronicles of Narnia too. Rife with the gay cowboys, that flick :-P

*jumps up and down* Me, me!

hahaha At least we're honest, right?

Oh man, it makes me wish we weren't so freakin' far away from each other. We could totally go see movies this month.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

**laughs** You should move :-P I mean, honestly, how can you resist the lure of Colonial Williamsburg? ^_~

Hahaha...Colonial Williamsburg is pretty cool. But in Houston, I have this great job, and a really fun baseball team (when they're not making me cry, of course!). ;-) I'm going to be up in your neck of the woods the weekend of the 18th, though, visiting some friends in DC. I'll think of you. :-)

(Also, I learned the printer who does our books is located in Baltimore. Cool, huh?)

That's funny; you're gonna be the second person on my f-list who will be in the general area that weekend :-P

(Also, I learned the printer who does our books is located in Baltimore. Cool, huh?)

**laughs** That is pretty neat.

[katiebabe46.livejournal.com]

I definately want to see Walk the Line. Because I could use a little more Johnny Cash in my life. Who couldn't??

Re: the man in black

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Clearly not the two of us ^_^ Are you doing Goblet of Fire next week? I can't remember if you're a Potter person.

[rabbytt.livejournal.com]

WTL is +definitely+ on my list of movies to see. :)

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

What's your Friday looking like next week? The Therapeutic Jurisprudence gang is getting together to see it; you should come with.

[rabbytt.livejournal.com]

i give that a tentative, but emphatic, HELL YES! :)
