Peter Gabriel - s/t (1980)
Nirvana - In Utero
R.E.M. - Murmur
I saw DRUGSTORE COWBOY shortly before or shortly after I graduated high school in 2002 (spring/summer). I had seen SINGLES (1992) also starring Matt Dillon, so I always mentally link those films together and DRUGSTORE COWBOY with the arrival of Nirvana's BLEACH (both 1989). A cursory look at the photos in the dlx ed of BLEACH really brings it home. DRUGSTORE COWBOY and the photo(s) I remember seeing on the booklet of BLEACH both have that cloudy day haze atmosphere. I keep thinking of buying DRUGSTORE COWBOY, then I think SINGLES! Thankfully SINGLES is (finally) being re-issued, not in a keepcase DVD but a full fledged blu ray, which is fair enough. I still find it odd that of all the movies Warner Home Video converted from snap case to keep case that SINGLES wasn't one of them.
And then I think about re-buying BLEACH by Nirvana. And everyone knows that BLEACH is Nirvana's least impressive album. IN UTERO is their magnum opus as most serious music aficionados would agree. So I have IN UTERO, BLEACH and DRUGSTORE COWBOY in my Amazon dot com shopping cart. Now that SINGLES is coming to blu ray, albeit not 'til April, I can keep it that way and have SINGLES on pre-order.
In other news, there's a ULTIMATE VISUAL HISTORY of GHOSTBUSTERS and its related stuff coming in Sept, '15. Cool!!! It's supposedly only 160 pgs and it's $37 with an MSRP of $50. Huh? I don't care. I'm in. I was IthiscloseI to buying the TOTAL CONTAINMENT omnibus but decided not to b/c I need to put more attn. on God, and quit wasting my time and money (borderline[?]) worshipping Ghostbusters. I doubt I'd read TC anyway and if I did, would I really enjoy it? the UVH on the other hand is the visuality of GHOSTBUSTERS w/ no electricity required. When the power goes out and never comes back on b/c the economy tanks and the taxpayers are no longer willing to support the "welfare" of welfare check recipients, I won't need a DVD or Blu ray or internet streaming device to see and behold the wondrous images contained in GHOSTBUSTERS and GHOSTBUSTERS II. If nothing else, a photograph of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man will be included (oh, my beloved crème...)
