Grab a cigarette that you can smoke slowly while slow jazz music plays behind you and you listen to our latest episode of We're Going Streaming. In this episode we discuss our choices for Wong Kar Wai films. We answer a few questions such as, would you let Jude Law lick your face as in My Blueberry Nights, does 2046 make a better series than a movie, and finally are you a promiscuous Ho or a forgiving Fai. As always, rate, review and share. IG: @weregoingstreaming
2007 brought us not only Cooder's solo effort My Name Is Buddy, but also some very interesting contributions. He composed film music for Wong Kar-wai's My Blueberry Nights. And with Mavis Staples, he made an album that's right up there with his best productions. We'll Never Turn Back is not one hundred percent Cooder, but it's certainly ninety-nine and a half. We also take a look at some more session work.This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes.

She adopted the name Cat Power for her first band in 1992, and has since used the name as a moniker for all of her musical endeavors. Raised in the South primarily by her grandmother, Marshall showed interest in music at an early age, and was influenced by blues and rock'n'roll. In the early nineties, Marshall relocated to New York City, and became acquainted with Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth after opening at a show for Liz Phair. Shelley subsequently drummed on her first two albums, Dear Sir (1995) and Myra Lee (1996), both somber indie rock records featuring sparse instrumentation. After releasing several blues and folk rock-influenced albums throughout the late 1990s, Marshall released The Covers Record in 2000, which included a cover of "Sea of Love" that was featured prominently in the film Juno (2007). She released three more albums, You Are Free (2003), featuring collaborations with Dave Grohl and Eddie Vedder; The Greatest (2006); and Jukebox (2008). Marshall has had several endeavors in modeling, and has been cited as a muse of Marc Jacobs and Karl Lagerfeld. She made her acting debut in the film My Blueberry Nights (2007) in a minor supporting role alongside Jude Law. Her most recent record, Sun (2012) was released to critical acclaim, and entered the Billboard 200 at number 10, making it her first top-ten album in the United States. LINQUA FRANQA BIO: Linqua Franqa is a cultural worker and emcee from Athens, Georgia. Their sophomore album, Bellringer, is also their PhD dissertation in Language and Literacy Education at the University of Georgia.

EPISODE 135 - DARIUS KHONDJI - Cinematographer Team Deakins talks with cinematographer Darius Khondji (UNCUT GEMS, ALIEN RESURRECTION, SE7EN).

He shares the experience of working with David Fincher on the film Se7en and how their collaboration allowed him to take risks. He speaks about how important it is to get to understand the director and how he sees visual style as a house that you have to find the key to unlocking and that he usually finds this key through the character. Darius tells us about working on the movies Lost City of Z, Uncut Gems, My Blueberry Nights, and Amour. He also shares his thoughts on working in features and television. A wonderful glimpse into the eye of a great cinematographer!

In Episode #85 sprechen Lucas und Kamil (vom Filmpodcast "Archivtöne") über die gesamte Filmographie des populären Hongkonger Regisseurs Wong Kar-Wai. Dabei geht es um aufsteigenden Rauch, das Chaos der Großstadt, Einsamkeit, Dosen-Ananas, Blumenkleider und wunderschöne Menschen. (Lucas behauptet am Anfang frech, es handele sich um Episode 84. Das liegt daran, dass diese Folge schon vor der tatsächlichen Nummer 84 aufgezeichnet wurde.) Für Feedback oder Fragen schreibt eine Mail an feedback@longtake.de.

Fazemos depois um rewind conduzidos pelo "Odd Couple" que se travestiu de "yelekraB slranG" para mostrar 30 minutinhos daquilo que é o novo disco em versão "ponham isto direito se faz favor/isto está de trás para a frente". Destaques é o que não nos falta e, por isso, destacamos o Destakes que reúne todas as notícias num só lugar com mil e uma possibilidades de as receber sem esforço. Do cinema fazemos um apanhados dos nossos super heróis que chegam à tela aproveitando a chegada do tempo mais quente: Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Batman - The Dark Knight e não esquecendo o Indiana Jones.

After a brief Easter break and all sorts of other goings-on, we're back with yet another episode of Rock and Reel! This week we're tackling a couple indie films and a couple indie albums (including one true classic).First up we talk about the new Jason Statham/Saffron Burrows film "The Bank Job," about a group of not-so-professional criminals who scheme to rob...a bank. I know, unpredictable, right? What you can't really predict though is what we thought of the film. So listen to our review and find out.After that we give some insight on the debut album from the duo known as She & Him, a band featuring actress Zooey Deschanel and musician M. Ward. Is this celebrity music project better than most? Or does it go the way of people like Russell Crowe and Keanu Reeves? The song "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" is also part of our review.That's followed by a very fresh review of the brand new movie "My Blueberry Nights," the first English-language feature film by director Wong Kar Wai, starring singer Norah Jones in her very first acting role. It plays off the nice parallel of singers/actors what with Zooey Deschanel's music project also in this podcast. Find out if Norah Jones actually can perform on camera as well as she does on stage with a piano.Finally, we close out the show with a look back at the 10-year-old album "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" by the band Neutral Milk Hotel. You can also hear the title track as part of that retrospective.As an additional note, we've now included audio of the actual movie trailers for the films we're reviewing, so we hope you find that an added bonus and something to get you more informed about what each movie is about (aside from our own summaries).Next time we'll have reviews of 2 films by director Neil Marshall. First, his old horror film "Dog Soldiers," followed by his latest film "Doomsday." You'll also get our review of the new R.E.M. album "Accelerate" along with some new music by the comedy band Flight of the Conchords.0:00-1:10 Intro1:10-14:30 Movie Review: The Bank Job14:30-28:26 Album Review: She & Him - Volume One28:26-51:45 Movie Review: My Blueberry Nights51:45-1:03:55 Classic Album: Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Under the Sea1:03:55-1:04:55 Preview of next week/Closing(click on the podcast icon above for the show, or subscribe with podcatcher software)Subscribe and let us know what you think!
