It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I'm sure he did. I believe he admitted as much once.  "I bought it because those commercials were so funny!"

1984, the John Hurt version.  Had watched parts before, not the end.  John Hurt did a seriously amazing job of acting in the torture scenes.

But it also made me realize how seriously off Orwell's analysis of totalitarianism was.  Totalitarian regimes don't try and keep people impoverished because it makes subjects easier to control, it keeps them impoverished because they don't know how to make them better off within the limits of their ideology.

Fur burger was tough, but in her defense razor blades were in very short supply.

It was hilarious when that INGSOC soldier gut-punched her.  She was sucking wind so hard, she was wearing her pussy as a mink wrap.

Hamlet 2- Starring Steve Coogan and written by a South Park guy, should have been awesome...it sucks.

Rob Roy. John Hurt and Tim Roth win the movie.

I think John Hurt is one of our greatest living actors.  As far as I am concerned, saying "John Hurt/Ian Holm/Philip Seymour Hoffman/Daniel Day Lewis" was great in that role is a bit like saying "it is nice to breathe air".

Stargate Universe premier.  Wasn't as bad as I was expecting from the early description. It had originally sounded like 90210 in Space.
PDH!
