Feeling 7-Up, I’m feeling 7-Up
It’s a crisp refreshing feeling…
I admit I liked Repo Man from the get-go, but it has improved with repeated viewing.

Okay, is that the movie about the publishing house, the law firm, the motivational speaker, or the actor (Picnic at Hanging Rock)? The film, Inside Llewyn Davis, was okay the first time, but did get better on subsequent watchings. ![]()
The ballad “Hang Me, Oh Hang Me” is excellent. “Shoals of Herring”, to his dying father, is touching. The novelty astronaut song, with Justin Timberlake, is a charming performance. The cat episodes are good, and revealed Llewyn’s personality and circumstances nicely: he was good, but not great, and tried hard but was ultimately overwhelmed. Dealing with the suicide of his singing partner, and a questionable paternity conflict does not make his life easier.
Not a bad film at all, but it helps to have fondness for the folk music of the early 1960s. The Coens have said that it was hard to find someone who had the necessary chops as both an actor and a musician. Oscar Isaacs did a very good job.
Evidently you’re confusing the movie Inside Llewyn Davis with one of the people named Llewellyn Jones, and there are three of them famous enough to have a Wikipedia entry.
How about music?
I bought Soft Machine’s Volume 2 on the recommendation of a friend. It didn’t impress me. But I would revisit it from time to time and realized I liked the medley on the first side. Then I realized I liked the entire album.
When their next album, Third, came out, they were one of my favorites.
Seems llikelly.
