I feel the earth move under my feet, I feel the sky tumbling down.

Never move. Ever. Especially if you have lots of CDs. And toys. And CDs.

Favorite Album Of All Time This Week©: 'Shazam' - The Move

So, 'Malcolm in The Middle' may not be the ultimate yuk-fest we've been led to believe it is - but I may be hooked.

Kiss Me DeadLEE Last Year This Week©:

Susan Strasberg, 60. Actress & Daughter of LEE - er Lee Strasberg. January 21.

Charles Brown, 76. Blues pianist, singer & composer. January 21.

Disney rentals abound.

'Hercules' Man, this one's bad. FirstLEE (a la "Hunchback") the story's been mutilated beyond repair. It's mythology, read the book. Zues can't fuck around? Why not? He's a God? And Hera tried to kill the kid, she didn't cry over his exit from Olympus. Good God, Mouse - get it straight. SecondLEE, the songs stink. Donny needs to go back to "Yo Yo" & "Crazy Horses" and forget about this feck. ThirdLEE, the animation is really lousy. Skiperino.

'Mulan' Ah ha! Here's a winner. Fantastic animation, a great story and songs that I can sit through. And Eddie Murphy is a scream. Really dug this one. Both had pretty lousy extra features, considering Disney's Rape Me pricing structure. They come with a "making of" featurette, and music videos. But at a $39.99 list, I want a freakin' Hun bringing me another martini while a goddess does a little dance for me. Know what I mean, jelly bean?

I caught some of some unbelievable piece of shit modern opera crap about New York on PBS this week. Any help on who might have written it...so I can kill them?
