I watched Stander.  Real life story of a South African cop who decides that since all the cops are focused on watching the blacks, it's a perfect chance for a white guy to become a bank robber.  Pretty amusing, robs banks and then returns to the scene of the robbery as a police investigator.

those are fighting words.
Johnny still ranks as the nicest actor i've met.

A friend who works as an extra said the same thing about him.  And all the stories I read about him seem to universally agree that he's awesome, stuff like dressing up as a pirate and reading stories in cancer wards.

Is First Blood really undervalued?  I thought it was regarded almost universally as a very good film?

Only to those who were actually alive when it was in theaters and saw it then.

The younger generations are trash anyhow.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

Awesome Timmay. You've just earned the first "point" of New Languish. You have a Kharma Chameleon, choose your reincarnation for your next lifetime.

Yay!

Flesh + Blood

Hadn't seen it in a loong time. You cannot call it an awesomely great movie but it's good and I like it.

Continuing the day's theme of mid-80s movies with boobies I watched 1984. Another one I hadn't seen in ages. RIP Richard Burton.

Most satisfying video purchase of all time: SNL Complete First Season - $15.00 - 8 discs, has all the music, short films, fake ads etc. Just watched the premiere episode, some great Jim Henson stuff, Andy... 2 musical guests.

I had my $15.00 worth by the time I'd left the store, it's made my day that much!

Isn't this from a Sumerian tablet? 

Attributed to SOCRATES by Plato, according to William L. Patty and Louise S. Johnson, Personality and Adjustment, p. 277 (1953).

  This passage was very popular in the 1960s and its essence was used by the Mayor of Amsterdam, Gijsbert van Hall, following a street demonstration in 1966, as reported by The New York Times, April 3, 1966, p. 16.

  This use prompted Malcolm S. Forbes to write an editorial on youth.—Forbes, April 15, 1966, p. 11. In that same issue, under the heading "Side Lines," pp. 5–6, is a summary of the efforts of researchers and scholars to confirm the wording of Socrates, or Plato, but without success. Evidently, the quotation is spurious.

Allegedly an authentic quote:

"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on
frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond
words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and
respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise
[disrespectful] and impatient of restraint" (Hesiod, 8th century BC).

I had forgotten James Remar was the bad guy

Paris, je t'aime.    Not a bad collection of short films.  Definitely uneven, but that's to be expected with so many different directors and styles.  My favorite short was probably the American mail lady's post-trip recollections.

Who gives a shit about the movie; we want to know if you and Sav fucked.

Getting jealous?

Getting jealous?

Yes.  I've always wanted to bang Sav.

re-watched "Spirit of the Beehive" last night. Holds up well. deep, literate film yet simply told story of two young Spanish girls in the late 30's with broken disaffected parents, and healthy imaginations. Gorgeously shot, paced.

That one alone is worth renting the movie.
