I feel the need to warn you it's mostly a talkly-cerebral, Jung-Freud piece.

Quote"This is Dr. Niles Crane, filling in for my ailing brother, Dr. Frasier Crane. Although I feel perfectly qualified to fill Frasier's radio shoes, I should warn you that while Frasier is a Freudian, I am a Jungian. So there'll be no blaming Mother today. Okay, Roz, who's my first caller?"

"Death And Glory in Changde", a Chinese/Japanese war film about...the Battle of Changde.  The entire thing is on YouTube and gets decent reviews, though does seem to be a somewhat cliched/trope-filled war film.  Still pretty, though.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Good, since I'm a Jungian fan, and think Freud did more coke than Tim Raines.

But it is a Cronenberg film, so how much talk can there be?

Wait, Cronenberg?  Sold.

I mean, I watched Existenz, for Christ's sake.

X-men First Class. Very good, possibly the best of the franchise.

Watched Cimino's mostly forgotten ode to film noir and Sirkian melodrama - "Desperate Hours" last night. Holds up well, and the photography in the more actiony sequences is fricking stunning. The big issue if there is one as always with Cimino, is that he doesn't cut. It's actually very very much a film noir potboiler script done with amazing locations rather than cheap sets and shadows.

It's worth watching for the over the top scenery munching of Lindsay Crouse who channels Barbara Stanwyck at her most ballsy playing the FBI agent in charge of the manhunt for Rourke's obvious but well done turn as Bogart. lots of too much in this flick clutters it somewhat, but definitely worth a re-visit.

Cedar Rapids. It was alright, could have been better. I think they were a little too low key, didn't really fully commit to it being a comedy.

Andy Whitfield, the guy that played Spartacus on the Showtime series, died of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma today.  :(
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Watched Khal Drogo as Conan. My advice, get it on DVD.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

From what I heard the actor is a great Conan, but the story and action scenes suck.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
