Re: Director of "Phaedra" Jules Dassin dies at 96

Rififi is a fantastic film; Circle of Two, on the other hand, is a stinker.

Re: Leonard Cohen's Memoir

You have answered your own question; there is no traditional memoir. Perhaps the most "autobiographical" of his works is The Favourite Game. But beware the biographical fallacy: poetry and prose in the first-person is not necessarily autobiographical.

Re: Which Hallelujah is the Highest

There was an interview on CBC Radio yesterday (Mar. 19) with an American music critic who was ranting about how much he hates the Jeff Buckley version. His argument is that the lyric portrays lots of different situations and moods that lead to the Hallelujah refrain, but that Buckley's version stick...

Re: Hamilton, Ontario June 3 presale Mar 18

Got tickets just now. Got through on the first try, went through the process as fast as I could, and wound up with Row J, less than two minutes after the hour. So... there being rows AA to HH, and then rows A through J, minus row I possibly, that lands me what, seventeen rows back? There's gotta be...

Re: Hamilton, Ontario June 3 presale Mar 18

I talked to the Box Office as well, and they could only tell me that there was a pre-sale, but not for whom. I am just now beginning to get nervous and frustrated. Four calls to the Hamilton Box Office so far, every time you get a slightly different story. Latest word I got was that you have to reg...

Re: Hamilton, Ontario June 3 presale Mar 18

I checked this with the tour management, and there will be no Forum/Files member pre-sale to any of the Canadian locations that go on public sale on Thursday. The venues may have some pre-sale of their own for local season ticket holders and other special groups. Thanks for your reply. [And thanks ...

There is another thread about this in the Tour 2008-2009 section.
But Hamilton is NOT in the Maritimes!

Re: Hamilton, Ontario June 3 presale Mar 18

I live in Hamilton. I just talked to the Box Office at Hamilton Place. There is a pre-sale, but they were not able to clarify whether or not that would include members from here. Are you going to provide a password, assuming that they will, or that they might, include members here in that pre-sale? ...
