I'm DJing tomorrow:
11am - noon PST, Sunday, March 29
KALX Berkeley 90.7fm
I'm going on after the women's basketball game, hence the 11am start time...and that's only a guess. But I'll have time for a few songs at least, and I'll make them good ones.
Perhaps still in a state of shock from the Parkway's sudden closing Aimee and I went to see He's Just Not That Into You at the Cerrito Wednesday night, and really the less said about that hateful film the better. Instead I highly recommend renting the DVD I saw the following night, Ronald Neame's clever 1980 film Hopscotch. Walter Matthau stars as CIA agent Miles Kendig, who takes his job and shoves it after being reassigned to a position he doesn't want. After threatening to publish a book full of secrets that will potentially embarrass the entire international spying community, Kendig leads his former coworkers (including a young Sam Waterston) on a merry chase around the world, aided and abetted by the always-fabulous Glenda Jackson. As much as I love the slick, high-octane action of the recent Bourne and Bond movies, it was nice to flash back to a well-made film that, like Matthau's Kendig, doesn't take itself too seriously and is still a ton of fun.
