CHEAP $599 SAMSUNG SC-D67 Now that all the cool kids are shooting home movies on MiniDV--the new standard for digital video--Samsung's SC-D67 is a good bet. It's one of the cheapest MiniDV camcorders on the market, and with 390,000-pixel resolution and a digital image stabilization system, you won't suffer for having saved a few (hundred) bucks. www.samsungusa.com...
...note that Symphony Hall is holding an open house this Sunday to celebrate its centenary. Meanwhile, local band Seventeen and Irish group the Young Dubliners (see our album review) perform this weekend at CollegeFest at the Hynes Convention Center, which has apparently made one Crimson arts executive (unnamed, initials SC) all excited because there'll be-wait for it-the presence of two people from MTV's The Real World...

...SC: I saw two comedies on the weekend of June 23. One was Chicken Run. Fabulous! The other was Me, Myself, and Irene. Terrible! Every time I think of the Farrelly's follow-up to There's Something About Mary, I get a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach (I have the same reaction to thoughts of Scary Movie. If I think of them simultaneously, I have to pull the air sick bag from under my chair.) Though Carrey tried valiantly to up the ante on the gross-out schtick, the movie just never rose above its cheap...
