Album Favorite

"One of my favourite albums. I love Gary Brooker, and I loved Robin Trower when he was playing cool stuff. I never followed him after he started trying to turn into Hendrix. I didn't get it. What's he doing this for? Hendrix has already done this. Procul Harum made great music that was related to the classics, but with crazy lyrics. I still don't know what half the lyrics are about: 'Repent Walpurgis' [from their debut album], I still don't know what that means. But it was intriguing to me. A Salty Dog is beautiful, and this reminds me of an era when keyboards didn't interfere with the guitar, just like Soft Machine. It's the kind of music that takes up where 'I Am The Walrus' takes off. And these were all great singers. The only ratty singer I liked was Roger Chapman out of Family."

Movie Rating
Third instalment in the 'Night at the Museum' series, which ends on a poignant note with Robin Williams last (ever) on-screen film appearance - obviously not known at the time they would be such - when his Teddy Roosevelt says "Smile, my boy. It's Sunrise".

Anyway, this film sees most of the cast/museum exhibits travelling across to the British Museum, when the ancient Egyptian tablet that causes said exhibits to come to life mysteriously starts decaying, resulting in a race against time to first find out why and then to reverse the process.

I could maybe do without the Rebel Wilson character in the film - like Ricky Gervais character, I just find her annoying (and that's a reflection the characters, rather than the actors), whilst some of the jokes were a bit too slapstick for my taste.

Did enjoy the Hugh Jackman cameo, though!
