The Week in Entertainment

kind of a slow week for me on the entertainment front...

movies: I watched Bobby; enjoyed it...the story of a dozen or so characters who work at the Ambassador Hotel in LA on the day/night of of RFKs assassination there...reminded me some of Robert Altman's movie Short Cuts with the stories of the characters overlapping...surprising to see at the time of the shooting that some of the characters turned out to be shooting victims as well...effective use of Kennedy's words at the end...I liked the use of actual news footage too...seeing old Walter Cronkite live on air was a trip...funny scene involving two campaign workers tripping...

tv: recorded "Swingtown" but haven't watched it yet; Jimmy Kimmel had some good shows this week, including the return of celebrity photographer Yehya Mohammed who interviewed "celebrities as they walked the red carpet at the mtv movie awards...funny!

music: Radiohead finally has their catalog added to iTunes, so I downloaded some of their tunes...

reading: still progressing through the book about the Phoenix Suns; reading an article about RFK in the June Vanity Fair...
