I’m really good at separating the work from the person. I’ll raise a toast when Jane Fonda drops dead, but she’s a good actress and I’ll watch her movies.

I'm sure Jane Fonda really cares what a war crime apologist thinks. As do we all.

Random observation. Funny how folks will trend on about anything. Just was noticing that everyone and their mothers' seems to now be posting "Non-King" collections threads. Hell, I always put just about everything save the kitchen sink in my (now) mundane "collection thread". lol However, now it appears "cool to have two seperate threads, a King items & a non=king items thread. lol so, will "Proof", "ARC", foreign & domestic threads soon follow? lol

It's cool BTW by me and as long as folks are enjoying themselves, more power to them. I just find it a bit humorous in my own twisted sense of humor. lol Let's have "Detective story", Sci-Fi, biography and maybe drama story threads as well!!! lol lol J/K I LOVE people!!!!

BTW, anyone got a "Wardrobe thread"? LOL LOL I connect things strangely in my thoughts. When I saw these this popped into my mind for some reason..........................

Spoiler:

Last I checked there were six or seven threads and there’s not much action within them. I’m getting the feeling you’re not the only one that thinks they’re laughable. I thought it was a fun idea so I posted some things, but (and I don’t mean this contentiously) I can take a hint.

Whoa, I'm not passing any judgements and as long as you folks are enjoying yourselves I think its great. Just nicked my funny bone is all and I decided to share. Post away, it's actually an idea with merit. Don't let my twisted sense of humor get in the way of a fun trend at all.

I enjoy your twisted sense of humor lol. I guess I misunderstood it this time. I interpreted it as “laugh at you, not with you” funny. Hey, I’m still getting to know you guys so my mistake!

No worries, dude we're cool.


To, Francis whoever you are thanks for the "Neg Rep" and "Whatever" comment. IDK what that is upposed to mean, but I don't think I deserved 'Neg Rep" for a humorous observation. You got a beef? Be man enough to post your issue and discuss it. Apparently 'Random Thoughts are a proceed at your own risk kind of endeavor these days.

[herbertwest]

I know that he used that anecdote often, but does anyone has any idea of where I can find a video in which Steve discusses the fact that a woman didnt want to believe that he wrote The Shawshank Redemption?

Thanks !

[Ben Staad]

I'm interested. What else are you thinking St. Troy?

I'm in a giving mood today. If you like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6C_KgXCl6Q then you can download it here for free: www.deathwishinc.com/downloadvinyl The code is 90-2MVFDYLC

No catch, no rules. I bought the record and it came with one free download. I already have it on digital so one lucky person can have it.

A friend of mine on Facebook (actually she's a friend of my mom and probably in her late 60's) has posted this picture 2 or 3 times on her wall completely unironically.

I'm guessing she's never seen Star Wars and she doesn't get the joke...

Ten things that bug me in movies and on TV

1. The totally bogus metal sliding on metal sound when a sharp (or even dull) blade is drawn from a non-metallic sheath, or sometimes just moved through the air!

2. The ‘wall’ filled with clippings, pictures, playing cards, laundry receipts, whatever, all connected by strands of yarn. I’m tired of seeing this darn thing.

7. Action and fight scenes consisting of no shots lasting more than half a second, with every arm, leg or other movement done from a different angle with a bobbing hand-held camera deliberately shaken.

8. The drowned character who comes back to life, spitting out water, after being thumped on the chest for about twenty minutes with the hero chanting. “No! No! No!” over and over again. It was great in THE ABYSS, but once was enough.

9. The vehicle coming out of the alley or side street to crash into the passenger side of a car from the driver’s POV, who is talking to the passenger. I think the first time I saw this was in THE FORGOTTEN, and again, once was enough.

This gave me a good laugh. I can't stand them either. Especially the car thing!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I thought of a couple more:

11. Constant gum chewing or eating; for example, Brad Pitt's potato chip eating in one of those awful Oceans movies, or Colin Farrell's gum chewing in True Detective season two.

12. The shot of a leg coming out of a car when it pulls up and parks. I'm always waiting for a long, sexy stem, and when it's some guy's I am like, you know, really disappointed.

13. The guessing of a password in order to open someone's computer in three tries or less.

That one’s as bad as the guys who can always knock someone out with one punch. Like all you have to do is punch someone and you’ll knock them unconscious? I don’t think it works like that.

I cringe when I hear the phrase "We've got company!".

Roger Ebert wrote an entire book about movie clichés. Fans started submitting their own and he kept adding to the list.

I read Ebert's autobiography and really enjoyed it. Got the first edition and the Easton Press signed edition. He led an interesting life.

I miss him very much. He was the only film critic I read religiously and he taught me how to enjoy films on a higher level.

Can I borrow your EP edition? I haven't read it yet.

Nope. It's still encased in bulletproof shrinkwrap.
