    CC Joe, your posts don't vanish. Because they're really long, the system moves them over to the check-on-me queue for me and Marye. I am going to go ahead and publish the second one, so that this response makes sense,and delete the first.

    wtf? another post vanished... I tlaked about the original Bedazzled with Dudley Moore and Peter Cook. let's see if it shows up later. and Arthur advertisement Susan: A real woman could stop you from drinking. Arthur: It'd have to be a real BIG woman. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur: You're a hooker? Jesus, I forgot! I just thought I was doing GREAT with you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur: Bitterman! Do you want to double your salary? Bitterman: Yes sir!

I love girls! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur Bach: I'm so rich, I wish I had a dime for every dime I had. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hobson: Normally, someone would have to go to a bowling alley to meet someone of your stature. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur: Do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take a bath. Hobson: I'll alert the media. Arthur: Do you want to run my bath for me? Hobson: It's what I live for. [Arthur exits] Hobson: Perhaps you would like me to wash your dick for you... you little shit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [while Arthur Bach is taking a bath] Arthur Bach: God, Hobson, isn't life wonderful? Hobson: Yes it is, Arthur, do your armpits. Arthur Bach: A hot bath is Wonderful... Girls are WONDERFUL! Hobson: Yes, imagine how wonderful a girl who bathes would be... Get dressed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur Bach: I race cars, play tennis, and fondle women, BUT! I have weekends off, and I am my own boss. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hobson: Good afternoon. If you and your undershirt will take two paces backwards, I could enter this dwelling. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [after Linda Marolla stole a necktie from a store] Hobson: Arthur, I see no reason for prolonging this conversation, unless you plan on knocking over a fruit-stand later this afternoon. Hobson: [to Linda Marolla] Good luck in prison. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [pointing at a mounted moose on the wall] Arthur: Where's the rest of this moose. Burt Johnson: Arthur, I think it's time we got to know one another. Arthur: I do too. That's why I had to come over today. Hmhmhmhm. This is a tough room. [pats the moose] Arthur: I don't have to tell you that. [points to the moose again] Arthur: You must've hated this moose. Burt Johnson: Why don't you forget the moose for a moment! [looks at the moose then to Burt] Arthur: Right. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur Bach: It's so small, they recently had the whole country carpeted. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur: I've never taken care of anyone.

Hobson: Of course you hate it.

Hobson: You obviously have a wonderful economy with words, Gloria. I look forward to your next syllable with great eagerness! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur: Oh stay with me Hobson. You know I hate to be alone. Hobson: Yes, bathing is a very lonely business. Arthur: Except for fish. Hobson: Pardon? Did you say "except for fish"? Arthur: Yes... fish all bath together.

What are you thoughts Hobson? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur: [to mounted moose on wall] This is a tough room.

Most of you know me... Can you blame her? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur: Do you want anything? Hobson: I want to be younger. Arthur: Sorry, it's your job to be older.

    Ghost Busters was an excellent film. Another of Ramis' masterpieces is "Bedazzled" with Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley. Hell is worth the watch just to see Liz in those outfits. My favorite (besides the Cheer Leader get up) was the red dress she wears in the Devil's office in the beginning. WOW..... The Dude Abides!

    CC Joe didn't get it but I maintain it was an excellent movie adaptation of the reoccurring SNL skit. Everyone is in the damn thing (Farley, Spade, Aykroyd who also helped write it, Jane Curtain, Phil Hartman, Jason Alexander, Michael McKean, Adam Sandler, Tim Meadows, Kevin Nealon, Tom Arnold and Sinbad, among others) not that that gives it credibility but I thought the script was exceptional and it had the most important quality for a comedy, EVERY SCENE WAS FUNNY. I hate comedies that try to develop a plot while not being funny, they're comedies for cryin' out loud. I really believe that most folks had a preconceived notion that the movie was going to follow Hollywood's tendency to rush to market with a hasty attempt to cash in but like someone else pointed out, most folks didn't even remember Coneheads from SNL when the movie came out. Oh well, can't please 'em all. The Dude Abides!

    Moore and more
    I can not remember which documentary they were talking about, Bowling or Farenheit, but Moore once talked about praise he received from some dirctors or actors: the praise was something along the lines of 'it is a good MOVIE' that was the praise he appreciated the most, Moore said. I will wait for the DVD with extras for Sicko. anyway, GRTUD reminded me of another fucking amazing film: GHOSTBUSTERS!!!! that shit was one of the best! that DVD with the extras, (collectors edition?) I have. nice out takes, and better commentary / interviews. Harold ramis can do no wrong, teamed up with Ackroyd and Murray -- (Stripes!) he is a comic genious. recently I finally saw Orange County, in which Ramis has a really good part as the dean of admissions. funny as hell, as was Jack Black.

    Sicko
    I really want to see this movie. I may actually wait 'till it comes out on DVD due to tight funds presently and my hunch I'll want it for my collection. You did a great job of characterizing the movie in light of Moore's partisan tendencies goffchile, although I've yet to see it in person. I've loved and hated Moore's work over the years but when I saw the series "The Aweful Truth" I realized he was more than a left wing advocate. I also thought "Bowling for Columbine" was excellent, although it came out a little to soon in relation to the actual tragedy, which I felt was a little self serving ($$$$). Making people think is a difficult and thankless job, for the most part, not to mention hurting people's feelings in the process. The Dude Abides!

    I saw Sicko last night and it was pretty good--Moore's best film Roger and Me and possibly his best yet. It is not nearly as partisan as Farenheit 9/11 in that it doesn't specifically target Republicans or any particular politician but is mostly focused on insurance companies. The main thrust of the film is to point out the costly (in terms of money and human life) irrationalities of our medical and childcare systems and offer reasonable alternatives that work for other countries. The countries that he uses as examples are Canada, England, and France and the differences are pretty stark in terms of cost, priorities of health care institutions, and patient care/satisfaction. The most basic thing is that in these countries the patient's method of payment or ability to pay is not an an issue for the health care professional, the health maintenance organization, or the patient, but in the US it is always an issue. Secondly, in other countries, health care organizations and professionals have incentives (in terms of bonuses, etc) to provide the best care possible, in terms of immediate care and preventative care, whereas in the United States the incentives pertain to cost containment and to underwriting the profit margins of insurance and pharmacutical companies. The most telling examples were of doctors who worked for iinsurance companies that are basically paid large fees to deny claims. Moore also disabuses the viewer of the oft stated notion that "socialized medicine" is a bureaucratic mess in comparison to the US system--may I introduce you to an HMO? The movie has some trademark Moore "stunts"--him taking 9/11 rescue workers to Cuba to receive heatlth care--which I am sure will draw fire from his critics, but for the most part the movie just lets the people tell their own stories with some light narration from Moore. I recommend.

It is all true, Lilly. JSTO was a big hit in London, was due to go to Broadway and then the religious zealots scared away the production money. The protesters didn't like the scene where Adam & Eve & Satan teamed up against God. Harvey Keitel played Satan in a one night production at Carnegie Hall. Now, they will produce it in Bosotn and hope that many people protest for the publicity. Anything to sell tickets, I guess. Yikes... the truth is stranger than fiction! All I did was open the Arts section of the Boston Globe.

This movie defined the change of an era. I'm not sure exactly when it came out, some time in the early 90s, I believe. The highly potent message of this movie was that heroin was in, coke was out, just as our favorite "Dark Star" was about to fade from the scene. As well, there were scenes of drug overdose and homosexual rape as well as a recurring theme badly twisted from the bible, righteous words for a black mobster to execute by. Johm Travolta, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel lit up the big screen for this one. Excellent movie it was, we all could have done without it and the social circumstances it pointed out and/or promoted. --Brother Essau, he's on roller skates again Shadowboxing the apocalypse and wandering the land--

Hey Lamagonzo, I think you're missing something... Jerry Springer the Opera is a SATIRE - a biting and brilliant one at that. Anyone who is repulsed by the Jerry Springer show would love this great piece of writing. He goes to hell! Just so's you don't get carried away! K

"The Fountain" - Hugh Jackman & Rachel Weisz: Pretty cool movie... full of symbolism that provoked thought about the archetypes western culture take lock-stock and barrel (myself included). The biggest problem with this movie was the "real time" scenes that were preposterous. Sort of a "2001: A Space Odyssey" meets the TV show, "House" kind of movie.

The Samuel in our brood will be the BIG 4!! next week. For his 16th birthday he's getting a "BAD MOTHER*CKER" wallet in homage to Samul L., his namesake. Not sure if it's very Motherly, butI'll surely get a chuckle over it. I read that Jerry had a distaste for QT's work. Have any of ya'll heard that ?? What I don't get ~ that so many people LOVE( & I can feel the flack coming for saying) is Napoleon Dynamite. Maybe 'cause I've only seen it once, not sure.....

I think my favorite scene was when Joe Strummer, sitting on at the end of the bed in the hotel, looks over his shoulder at the "Velvet Elvis" and he says something like, "Ah Jez, there that guy is again..." Strummer was the only guy in the universe that could deliver that line with the feel it gave me. Kudos!

I watched a movie yesterday called "Bottle Shock". It's based on a true story and set in California's Napa Valley in 1976. In one scene a winery owner was yelling at his hippie son saying "Don't you have any ambition in life?" The son replies "Yeah, to see the Dead at the Cow Palace". Get prepared, there's gonna be a party tonight!

Just back from seeing Taking Woodstock, and am still slightly speechless. All caps necessary but I LOVED THIS FILM! Visually, the story, the characters, and especially the cinematography. Watch out for Wilma (Vilma) my FAVE character of all the film.

Watched a film calle "The Wackness" about a teenage marijuana dealer in New York City back in 1994. Though not the main character, Mary-Kate Olsen delivers an Oscar-deserving performance as a 'shroomin hot Deadhead hippie chick. Sir Ben Kingsley does a great job as a wacky psychiatrist too.

It's been out 10 years but if you haven't seen Genghis Blues this Oscar- nominated film is the story of a blind blues musician and his triumphant trek to the forgotten land of Tuva and the mysterious art of Khoomei, or throat singing, a seemingly impossible form of singing that produces multiple vocal tone simultaneously. Paul Pena, who has played with the likes of Bonnie Raitt, T-Bone Walker, John Lee Hooker, Jerry Garcia, Muddy Waters, and BB King travels to Tuva to live among the descendants of Genghis Khan and compete in their triennial Khoomei contest. I loved this documentary, there's a picture of Jerry near the start, I wonder if Sirius has any of those tapes? Amazing story, beautiful film.

I see that Paul used to open for Jerry and Merl at the Keystone. Recorded an album with them called New Train that wasn't released until 2000. He opened for Bobby and Ratdog in 2001, and passed away in 2005 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Michael Moore's film about the origins of the current banking crisis and the movement of American workers to retake the rights previously afforded to them is excellent. It opens with Louis Louie playing as a gang of 5 rob a bank and goes through the life of families being evicted from their homes. The scene with the black sheriff of Wayne County (Detroit) declaring in a news conference that he is suspending all home evictions is poignant, as are Moore's revelations about big corporations buying life insurance policies on it's rank & file employees - it's called dead peasant insurance. Guess what? The corporations don't help out the poor workers survivors. Bob & Phil need to see this movie. It exposes how the biggest campaign contrbutors to Barak Obama were the big banks, Goldman being the #1. I dare anybody to just let go of their preconceptions about Micael Moore and go see this movie. It'll make you mad as hell (and possibly ready to stick up for your rights).

Oh My! I wanna see that one. Have been fascinated by that two tone singing in Mongolian folk music for a couple of years now, ever since a saw a group perform in Paris. Found it one of the most incredible things had seen in a while, and the music was soo peaceful-eastern yet familiar to western ears. One of the musicials told me that the sound of the music is inspired from nature-like horse's hoofbeats on the tundra, blowing wind, etc. Sorry, I digressed, but to see someone else mentioning that double tone singing was a great suprise! Am looking out for that film now! That vid is just...wow! ********************************** Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge. Mark Twain

Hey now, Trish!! Garcia film IS in the works! the rights to two bios were legally obtained, (Captain Trips is one) and some may be surprised to learn, the dude Justin Berfield who used to playe Reese in in that schlock TV show Malcolm in the Middle is involved.. Jason Felts is another guy involved with the project, his dad was a deadhead... MAYBE the movie will focus on Garcia's recovery from the diabetic coma, when he had to re-learn the guitar... according to rumours in LaLa land, the film will also include scenes of Garcia in the army and how he met Phil and the other members of the band... about a year ago, a few top notch people got involved to produce this, Eric Eisner among others. Hollywoodland is SLOW!!!! keep patient. I've seen unreleased copies of a treatment for this, should be good! who will play Garcia??? TOP SECET!!! peace.

Ok, so I don't watch many movies or watch tv, so I am kind of behind the times. Loved this movie using Beatle's songs. The way it starts out so innocent and too sweet and moves on to the turmoils of the later 60's is right on. And the trip with Dr. Roberts is quite a trip, wow.

A classic. Easily the best screen adaption of Hunter S. Thompson's debut of gonzo. You really owe it to yourself to see this movie.. You can stream it for free on fancast.com. In case you're not familiar, Hunter S. Thompson covers a narcotics conference in Las Vegas and then does a story on the Mint 400 race for Playboy. The real quest is for the soft white underbelly of "The American Dream", which is eventually traced, in a drug induced frenzy, to the casino at Circus Circus in 1971. Lots of music from the 60s and 70s, snippets of course.

Whats become of Steven Segal? This movie was near or at his pinnacle as the macho martial arts kick-ass man's man best. This film is notable for the three minute ending where Segal goes on a freaking tear against the oil companies and auto barons of the combustion engine. Goes to the heart of the matter and is something everybody should see. A more definatively righteous statement in a major release you'll NEVER see. ~ It's oil for the rich and babies for the poor.

Thanks for the video CC. Hunter Thompson is one of my heroes. Truly a unique guy. His statement in the above clip "The US is the greatest enemy of freedom in the entire world." is pretty bold. But it was statements like that interwoven with fiction that made him highly readable and a very difficult character to portray. He took his life in 2005, a bullet to the head in the face of terminal cancer. He definitely went out the way he lived. It was the end of an era. Jerry and Hunter are comparable in that they did what they liked their entire life. In the end their art suffered but they boldly asserted their right to freedom in going out the way they did

lama said:"but they boldly asserted their right to freedom in going out the way they did" pretty big fucking difference between one man with terminal cancer killing hisself and another dieing in his sleep when he went to seek help for a drug addiction. this is Thompson's legacy: HIS words: "Football Season Is Over No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun — for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax — This won't hurt." Hunter Thompson. this, on the other hand, is Garcia's legacy: peace.
