Something odd happened when Blogcritics shifted, and AOL was sending all my comment notifications into the SPAM folder for some reason! Glad to hear someone else yack with praise regarding Straight To Hell. Being a somewhat obsessive fan of Shane MacGowan, frontman with The Pogues, i had to see it, of course, and was really pleasantly suprised. Even if Shane and the boys hadn't been it, i think i would still have loved it. And yes, i too was reminded on it throughout M&A. Thank you for the kind words, friend, and again, sorry for the delay. 67218@blogcritics.org Thu, 3 Jun 2004 20:19:25 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/05/30/000556.php#comment-67079 Excellent work El Sunor Duke on a film shreaded by the critics. Some fascinating observations on the Dylan mystique. When reading the reviews of this film, was reminded of an old Alex Cox flick <i>Straight To Hell</i>, which was equally loved by film connoisseurs. I believe Joe Strummer and even The Pogues made appearances in the one long hip in-joke. I actually loved it, and perhaps the folks just didn't get it? 67079@blogcritics.org Thu, 3 Jun 2004 07:56:26 EDT
