I'm going to make that call next week & beg work(favorite ploy) if that
doesn't work I'll whip
out some cool screen savers that people have given me. One screen saver is
about laying pipe!!Pipe gets layed all over the screen, a sight that is
really….uh….kinda rare to me. I guess architects take a lot for
granted!Tssk, what goes on behind the scenes! Too busy to notice these basic
facts.
The side effect of the Dr. Caligari thread:
After spending days at the monitor I'm settling down tonite w/ the
booty(Treasure Island definition not modern slang meaning of booty) I acquired
from the movie rental place….Rutger Hauer in "Split Second" !! I'm sure it's
going to be a really terrible "B" movie but ocasionally I have the need to
consume the most tasteless in cinematic achievement (especially after the Dr.
Caligari thread)!!! The routine is:
1. shop the vid place till something really foul catches my eye
2. proceed to the nearest 7-11 for a six pack of Sam Adams, Honey
Porter & a BIG cigar, Then
3. home for the vid FEAST!!
(item 2. is accomplished only when not in the company of my wife and
daughter)
This must be a left over impulse from the old Godzilla days…..Japan
shouldn't Gloat, having a big lizard isn't everything!!(financially this may be
an incorrect observation)
I just heard that Mexico's Campos is comming out w/ his own line of goalie
shirts w/ Nike! There have
been soooo many asking for the mexico replica(me included) that he's been
underwritten!! Cool!! I was told that he would wear one of his jersey
creations w/ a different stick-on mfg logo each time he played and they finally
came down on him!! Funny story!
Thanks for all, Gary

I watched Rutger Hauer in the movie "The Hitcher" in French just last night. It
was macbre and violent all rolled into one.

Sorry for the late reply….Been busy.
Rutger seems to be kind of putin' on the pounch a little in Split second!
He wears some kind of Elvis-style-beltbuckle-like field web belt type
apparatus(or maybe it's a tummy shaper).
How was he in Hitcher?
In split second there were both gratuitous violence and sex within 5 minutes
of opening credits!
Must be some kind of formula for this! He's a renegade cop looking for the
killer of his ex partner
in this one. He's assigned a college educated crime expert partner whom he
proceeds to whip up on
and belittle in general(this sounds like my relationship with one of my
clients)! THIS IS TRULY TERRIBLE
CINEMA!! Very satisfying!!
Hitcher in French? I can't imagine our (gulp!) hero wearing a black and
white striped shirt and a beret!
Only Benny hill comes to mind! There goes the image!<G><G>Hah!<g>
Seriously, I'm looking for some good fresh movies w/ original themes. Sci
Fi seems to repeat or never
really even get started! One excellent French movie that I still remember is
one in which an Opera fan
helps a famous female singer escape killers! She hops on his Lambretta! Very
Very good to the point that couldn't even remember reading subtitles!!Forgotten
the title. Seven Samari is another! The Mask
has the swat team Samba! but the formula of making Jim Carrie an old sweetie at
heart makes me prefer Rutger in Split second.
