Lucky Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Laurie check a little more. It was broadcast in my area MOnday night the 26th. Of course I didn't get to see it. But like most things, public TV likes to broadcast things more than once, so hopefully we can catch it the next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_jr_ Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I was out Monday, so I missed the first part, and last night I was burning music. PBS is great. What's amazing is that they're even showing on PBS. When I first heard about it, months ago, I thought for sure it'd be released right before Christmas, at an outrageous price. Then, sometime during the summer, they'd show it on PBS. Hard to imagine, in this day and age, you can get to see something like that for free first, before it hits the stores. I'm not Dylan fan, but I would have watched it, if for nothing else, the place it has in music history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I'm not Dylan fan This picture may not change that, but it will probably cause you to think differently about Dylan. Martin Scorsese, as usual, is very dedicated to making an entertaining and artistic movie. And he has a real appreciation for music of all kinds. I'm happy to see that your avatar has morphed to Dino. For several years, there were plans for Scorsese to make a biopic about Dean Martin (Tom Hanks ?? was supposed to star) but, regrettably, it looks like that project has been put to sleep. Dylan seems to have some regard for a Dino song, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otokichi Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I'm not a big fan of Mr. Zimmerman, but the film took me back and kept my interest, as I recalled the ping-pong pace of Bob Dylan's evolving music styles after the Folk crowd booed him at Newport. I didn't see the second part; a mainland visitor was on his last 48 hours here and wanted to catch some movies at the $.50/$1 theaters. This reminded me of a arguement I had with a fan back in high school over whether Bob Dylan was a poet. (At the time, I said he was; the Dylan fan objected strenuously.) I wonder if Martin Scorsese is going "Ken Burns" in his mature years? If so, this could get verry interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
