My platonic friend the Yankee Terror is taking me out to eat for my shudder 45th birthday. Halfway to 90, and yes, you can feel the Grim Reaper's hand on your shoulder.
Pink Flamingos- I couldn't eat eggs for months after seeing this
Notorious
Freeway- Reese Witherspoon and Kiefer Sutherland at their finest
Blade Runner-sadly the movie that defined my generation
Casablanca(some of these are obvious)
The Big Lebowski
Some quotes I like
The rain falls on the just and the unjust- Proverbs, as quoted by Charlie Brown in Peanuts- I'm a heathen nonbeliever headed straight to hell myself and Proverbs isn't even a very good book, but this thought says a lot
"Remember that when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you"- Nietzsche, I think,
"Who formed Christ but Herod and Caesar, the cruel and bloody victories of Caesar?"- American poet Robinson Jeffers
Always put one in the brain- Johnny Casper in Miller's Crossing
"You want to help mankind? Tell funnier jokes- the glowing alien to Woody Allen in Stardust Memoires.
Underemployed since 1987, I've worked in kitchens, clean rooms and the state psychiatric hospital. I got my degree in English and journalism from Trinity University, so I talk and write real good. My interests include fishing, walking, reading, booze and mouthing off.
