The 11 Best Songs By Girls

I recently watched Zero Dark Thirty and was rather blown away with the movie.  It still ranks behind Lincoln and Life of Pi on my list as the best movie of the year.  Yes, I keep movie lists, too.  What interested me most about the movie was the pace.  It was slow build toward the final invasion that played more like a BBC documentary than a Michael Bay shoot em up.  The reward was almost greater because of this.  What I'm finding interesting is how many people are blasting the movie for some factual inaccuracies. Working in film/TV myself, there is a big difference between reality (not reality TV, actual reality) and a film.  And it always bothers me when people critique a film that changes real events or a book's story.  Look, a book tells a story a certain way.  That's why it comes out in book form.  Movies have their own structure and have to be told their own way.  Movies based precisely on books tend to be formulaic and clunky.  That's why they get changed...so there's better flow and pacing.  Movie based on real events have to be condensed in many parts because real events take real time and movies take...2 hours!  You can't show ten years of events in two hours, it would suck.  Art imitates life...it doesn't mirror it.

The 11 Best Songs By Girls

So here's a little rundown of my Spotify saga....

First, when I went to sign in Spotify told me that it could not connect to the server for an update.

Then, I went to the website and they told me to download a new update from the site.  So, I downloaded the new update and installed it.  It told me that it could not connect to the server for an update.

I went back the website they said I needed to restart my computer and try re-installing.  I did this...it still told me that it could not connect to the server for an update.

I checked again and it told me that I had firewall problems.  I don't have a firewall...so that was wrong.

Then it told me to try a clean installation, which meant that I completely removed Spotify from my computer and re-install it.  I did that...I still could not connect to the server for an update.

At this point, I'm through trying to get something to work that I'm paying for that should already be working.

So, I decided to cancelled.  So much for that....
