Elliott Smith-LUCKY THREE

Beautiful short film showcasing Elliott Smith and three of his songs.  The sound isn't quite synced but its worth a watch.

1. Between the Bars
2. Thirteen (Big Star)
3. Angeles

Up in the Air

I really enjoyed this movie.  George Clooney (he's sooooo dreamy,)flies all around the country for his job which consists of fireing people that he has never met for bosses that don't have the balls to do it.  The main theme deals with the lonelyness that comes with constantly traveling and not having a place to call home.  At least thats what I thought.  Plus the movie included a very appropriately placed Elliott Smith b-side song, Angel in the Snow, one of my favorites.  Elliott Smith songs don't make too many movie appereances besides Gus Van Sant movies.  Also Zach Galifianakis makes a short but as usual very funny appearance.  go see it!

I need to go visit his wall sometime in my life.

     "You can take a picture of New York and one person looking at it will think it looks really depressing, frightening, and someone else will look at it and think of all the fun things you can do in New York. I think songs are kinda like that"- Elliott Smith
