A while back, when some choice Sound on Sight-ers saw the trailer for Gore Verbinski’s animated debut Rango, notice was taken of the cameo by a digitized Hunter S. Thompson and his crazed early-70s sidekick, Lazlo/Dr. Gonzo. So naturally, when it came time to discuss the movie on the show, we thought it only natural to pair it with two fictionalized cinematic adaptations of Thompson’s work – 1980′s Where the Buffalo Roams and 1999′s cult hit Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Then we saw Rango and relized the films have virtually nothing in common with the crowd-pleasing Rango. Didn’t stop Justine, Derek and Simon from wrangling a podcast out of it, anyway!

Chicago – The wake of the 1960s still resonates on our shores, and entertainment was a viable leader during the era for breaking new barriers. At the recent Hollywood Celebrities & Memorabilia Show, Shirley Knight, Barbara Parkins and Victoria Sellers were reminders of those special times.
The Hollywood Celebrities & Memorabilia Show occurred in September of 2010. The show is a biannual event that brings celebrities to Chicago to meet, sign autographs and interact with their admirers. Joe Arce of HollywoodChicago.com was there to add the photographic spice to the proceedings.
Shirley Knight of “Sweet Bird of Youth” (1962) and “Petulia” (1968)
Shirley Knight has been a working actress since doing an uncredited role in the classic “Picnic” (1955). She made a substantial mark in the early 1960s by being nominated for a Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her first two major films – “The Dark at the Top of the Stairs” (1960) and “Sweet Bird of Youth...

Chicago – The Criterion Collection recently released a timeless document of one of the most important events in music history, The Monterey Pop Festival of 1967. Not only does this legendary fest include some seminal visuals, including Jimi Hendrix lighting his guitar on fire and Pete Townshend smashing his, but it captures a nation on the cusp of something amazing, not just musically but socially.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.5/5.0
At the height of the Summer of Love, during a June weekend in 1967, history was made at the Monterey International Pop Festival near San Francisco, arguably the epicenter of the counter-culture movement in the late ’60s. Monterey launched the careers of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Otis Redding, but they were just a few of the acts who performed that weekend, one that saw The Mamas and the Papas introduce Simon and Garfunkel, and The Who, The Byrds, Hugh Masekela, Ravi Shankar, and more take the stage.
