Shane: So you're Jack Wilson.
Jack Wilson: What's that mean to you, Shane?
Shane: I've heard about you.
Jack Wilson: What have you heard, Shane?
Shane: I've heard that you're a low-down Yankee liar.
Jack Wilson: Prove it
'Carry On up the Kyber' is another.
'Spartacus' is a film I don't feel guilty about enjoying... perhaps I should?
The Khasi of Kalabar: May the benevolence of the god Shivoo bring blessings on your house.
Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond: And on yours.
The Khasi of Kalabar: And may his wisdom bring success in all your undertakings.
Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond: And in yours.
The Khasi of Kalabar: And may his radiance light up your life.
Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond: And up yours.

"Carry on Cruising"
Marjoribanks: Gentlemen, have I your agreement for a policy of unremitting quasi-teutonic organisational perfectionism?
Spartacus? Feeling rebellious, Corinth?
Earl- tsk! YOu're slipping up here! Steve 'Sh*tting' Seagull?? Even di Crapio is preferable...:S
...and that's my reputation as a person with good taste further shot to hell! :S
Marcus Licinius Crassus: Do you eat oysters?
Antoninus: When I have them, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: Do you eat snails?
Antoninus: No, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: Do you consider the eating of oysters to be moral and the eating of snails to be immoral?
Antoninus: No, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: Of course not. It is all a matter of taste, isn't it?
Antoninus: Yes, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: And taste is not the same as appetite, and therefore not a question of morals.
Antoninus: It could be argued so, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: My robe, Antoninus. My taste includes both snails and oysters
Goodness and badness has everything to do with it! But not morally: aesthetically!What I just said was more an indication of my appreciation of the intrinsic aesthetically pleasing attributes of something which comprises what is commonly considered "good" or "bad" taste. It's a physical quality based on certain (usually variable)aesthetic standards, not a moral judgement, as you correctly indicated. Therefore, my indication that I like certain things regardless and do lapse into "bad taste" indicates that I am aware of this "standard" but choose to deviate from it occasionally!
It is just the issue of whether or not it follows what the people or ideas which are my frame of reference have set as standards. Cultural differences & education have a lot to do with it.
Karen: How did you hurt your back? Running away from good taste?
Will & Grace" (1998)
Anther guilty pleasure:
"The Far Pavilions" miniseries((Ben Cross :P & book)
Culture?
But there are so many to choose from… which one?
Education?
“After the embers of the burning books has cooled a little, I looked to Hans and asked him why did we do this?
Hans said to me: We are creating a new philosophy Eva… and our libraries don’t need these troublesome texts… for they are wrong and we are right forever”
Oh, we make the standards and we make the rules
And if you don't abide by them you must be a fool
We have the power to control the whole land
You never must question our motives or plans
Cause we'll outlaw your voices, do anything we want
We've nothing to fear from the nation
We'll kick you out of your houses if you get too much
If we have to we'll destroy your generation"
despite its pro-Christian message, I actually quite like the Robe, mostly because of Burton.
stil not seen The Last Temptation.....is it on over Easter I wonder?
Watched Chicago earlier on DVD while was getting ready to go out. No fashionable I know but I actually think the film version is excellent (albeit assisted by a superb score)
Although she does look like a russian gymnast, Renee is really sparky and actually quite funny and, although he cannot dance, gere has plenty of charisma.
The scene with the puppetry and Gere orchestrating the Jury/media is clever.
Zeta Jones isn't really all that, but her dancing is superb.
and Mr Cellophane (with the criminally underused John C Reilly) is heartbreaking.
Top 5 performances by a male lead (in no particular order)
1. Eric Bana - Chopper
2. Jimmy Stewart - Vertigo
3. Michael Keaton - Beetlejuice
4. Jack Nicholson - Five Easy Pieces
5. Jim Carrey - Man on the Moon
cooo....anyone who hasn't seen it, I recommend. bleak though.
Easter is not my scene, though
Might see the new Banderas movie soon
Hoppy Easter, all of you! x
very sweet....but after about an hour or so leaves a nasty feeling in the stomach.
However, to paraphrase Harry Hill:
"Alfred Molina......more of him please!!!"
and less Juliette Binoche.....most smug person ever?
How dare you insult my one true love... havat you sir... you scurvey knave!
Swords or pistols, dawn, by the gallows tree, I'll nominate Moomoo as my Second...
... and may the better man win.
Actually enjoyed Chocolat, not much depth but all feely nicey*
*technical expression meaning warm.
but gad I hate her.....
dench was good in it though.....mischevious.
She's luvvly*
*scouse expression meaning phoore!
Hating Juliet Binoche is like hating fluffy kittens or hating Bambi or hating Kylie...
hmmm...Come to think of it.. perhaps there is some validity in your stance
how could you say she is lovely when she's all "ooo look at me i'm French and cool...yeah I know which chocolate you like...oooooo"
big woop.
Speaking of Kylie....has anyone noticed that, with her short hair, she looks a wee bit like Annie Lennox?
>>>>>heads off out to shoot bambi's mum (cackling evilly)
Corinth- my First aid kit is ready, mobile has emergency services number punched in
Smug? Not really. I thought La Binoche's character was enigmatic, slightly creepy, I was never sure of her motivations.
Alfred Molina was very good, but also Judi Dench and Lena Olin. Not much of Mr. Depp, but he did his thing well. Lasse Hallstrom also directed him in Gilbert Grape. Trivia: Lena Olin is Hallstrom's wife. She plays Jennifer Garner's (Sydney')mother in Alias.
All in all, a nice fairytale. Admittedly, I did feel queasy at times because I am not overly fond of chocolate, but it was a nice fairytale with a bit of everything in it- issues of morality, temptation, gluttony, Church vs alternative, society vs outcasts, the settled vs the itinerant lifestyle, etc.
I read a description somewhere of this film as "Footloose" with chocolate instead of the dancing!
:P
<<<<realises now the duel is two against one>>>>

Mickey—Hey Rock. It's three in the morning. I went up to your house there and they told me you was here. It's a 3:00am kid. You know that Adrian, she's a good girl. Me, you know I'm sorry for both of ya. There's nothing I can do about it. Except uh I wanna tell you this once and then uh I ain't gonna say it again. But Rock you got another shot. This is the second shot. At uh I don't know the biggest title in the world, and you're gonna be swappin' punches with the most dangerous fighter in the world. And just in case you know your brain ain't workin' so good. All this happens pretty soon and you ain't ready. You know you're no where near in shape. So I say for God's sake. Why don't you stand up and fight this guy HARD? Like you done before that was beautiful! But don't lay down like this! Like uh I don't know like some kind of mongrel or something. Cause he's gonna kick your face in pieces! That's right! This guy doesn't just wanna win you know, he wants to bury ya, he wants to humiliate ya, he wants to prove to the whole world that you was nothin but some kind of freak the first time out. He said you were a one time lucky bum! Well now I don't wanna get mad in a biblical place like this. But I think you're a hell of a lot more than that kid! A hell of a lot! But now wait a minute if you wanna blow this thing if you wanna blow it then damn it I'm gonna blow it with ya. If you wanna stay here I'll stay with ya. I stay with ya. I'll stay and pray. What do I got to lose?"
quality.
In other words:
Francisco Scaramanga: A duel between titans... my golden gun against your Walther PPK.
The Man with the Golden Gun(1974)
<<<pulls up hood, darts out door....shadow-boxing as he goes>>>
On Ipod:
"Trying hard now
it's so hard now
trying hard now
Getting strong now
won't be long now
getting strong now
Gonna fly now
flying high now
gonna fly, fly, fly..."
I'll risk taking someone's name in vain here:
Earl: A simple misunderstanding gets a lot less simple once you add choppers and a S.W.A.T team. Those guys have bazookas.
My Name Is Earl" (2005)
