Marlon Brando is dead

Marlon Brando died... So, that means Al Pacino is the head of the Corleone family now... He was a good actor, altough I belive he overacted sometimes (one eyed jack, maybe last tango), and in other times he just didn't care (superman, don juan de marco).

First Reagan, now Brando... Who's next? I bet it'll be Don Knots!

There's always the "I am a lousy screenwritter" cliches:

* It was all a dream.

* The 2001-ape-throwing-bone-to-the-sound-of-spoke-zaratrusta-or-whatever-its-called scene.

* "You won this time (hero's name), but I'll get you next time! Huahahaha!"

* Magical teardrops that make people ressurect, flowers grow, miracles happen (also known as the "Teardrop Deus Ex Machina" cliche)

* The first thing someone with amnesia says is: "where am I? who am I?"

* Teenage party getting out of control, and the owner of the house is desperadly trying to clean up thing before parents get back (95% of Wonder Years episodes)

* The substitute teacher who gets to teach in a classroom full of poor kids who listen to hip hop at the classroom, curse all the time and spray grafitti al over, and are too dumb to learne. In the end, the dumbest, meanest kid gets graduates and gets a diploma, all thanks to the alternative way of teaching of the substitute teacher (I've seen about 20 movies with this exactly same plot).

* Kid travels back in time to medieval-england-king-arthur-and-the-round-table-like era. He/she uses technology as if it was magic to save the day (ditto).

* "I have a bad feeling about this" (hmmnnn...)

Last CD I bought, about 3 days ago, was Pink Floyd - The Final Cut. I wouldn't consider this a PF album, it's 99.99999% Roger Waters work, almost a solo album. Fans consider it to be their worse... It's not that bad, it's actually good, but you can almost hear Roger Waters saying "fuck you" to the rest of the band in every track. I found it for R$9.99, about US$4.00, so I KNEW I had to buy it.

Now I'm desperadly looking for a copy of Kid606's latest album (I belive it's called "kill sound before sound kills yous"), but it's impossible to find it! I can't even find it to download over the internet...

2. Hey, its New York state. They elected Hilary.
Besides, there is a check box there for "I do not wish to enroll in a party". Its the last entry.
a. That seems more anonymous.
b. Being a Democrat is not independent. "I do not wish to enroll in a party" sounds independent.


1- Ok, say whatever you want, but I don't trust this 9/11 comission as much as I trust thw Warren Comission (?) about JFK assassination.

2- I know! I was agreeing with you! Sorry, I didn't make myself clear.

10. Horror movies where the main charcters just do everything wrong (there is a hell of alot of them)


Oh, oh, there's more:

7- The perfect example of this is in a stupid movie called "Simbad of the Seven Seas", staring... Lou Ferigno I suppose. But you can see it in "Matrix Reloaded" too.
8- Godzilla?
9- 25% of James Bonds movies, 99.999% of Metal Gear Solid games.
10- First half of The Exorcist?

I have to agree, the thing about "being independent" is stupid, he's really not. Nor is O'Reilly, who declared being independent, and is a registered republican. I don't agree with Moore with that, and with his view in abortion (which I belive is THE ultimate crime/sin, the worse thing you could do, far worse then suicide).

But I asked Jimbo to tell him his sources because I knew what the answers would be: anti-moore web sites, fox news, books by conservatives and republicans, I mean, what do you think those sources are going to say? And what do you define by being truth or not? How do you know about the world, about the "terrorist threat", about the wars, how do you know who your president is? TV. The media. Owned by rich people. And those rich people are also smart people, who want to preserve their interests and investments. Have you ever thought about this? About the media brain-washing you guys?

3. When a villian decides to kill the hero with pulles or sharks or other devices that give the hero several minutes to escape

4. When the villian gives the hero a last request

5. Where several bullets are fired at the hero but for some reason miss

6. When someone with powers wishes he didn't have them


Ok, this sounds like a challenge to me! Let's see if I can find a situation for each of these cliches.

##MIGHT HAVE SPOILERS OF SOME KIND##


1- Hmn... ok, how about: Cameron inside his car in Ferris Bueller Day Off.
2- Uh... let's see... The Austin Powers Penis Enlarger scene? "This is not mine..."
3- Easy. Austin Powers. "Turn on the unnecessary dipping device!". Also seen in every Batman 60s TV series episode, or in every Bond flick.
4- Hmn... Maybe, Spaceballs? Every Jackie Chan flick? Can't think of any right now, but I know I've seen it.
5- Matrix.
6- Matrix?

I did know he lied in Bowling for Columbin. He made it look like a banks free gun offer just let him walk out with it. In reality Moore had to wait 2 weeks and was given a backgroud check. If this isn't a total and complete lie I don't know what is.


I asked you for your sources. What are your sources on Moore's lies? How can you know he's lying or not?

I have always really liked high hopes too...
although many floyd fans i know werent too impressed with that one...

but to each his own...
how bout u ricarleite?
fave song?


Yeah, I know it's tough to choose.

Echoes, from the album Meddle, is my favorite PF song - my favorite song of any band at all.

I also enjoy (chronological order): Bike - Interstelar Overdrive - Pow R Toc H - Judband Blues - Atom Heart Mother - Summer of '68 - One of These Days - Breathe - Time - Money - Any Colour you Like - Welcome to the Machine - Wish you were here - Shine on you Crazy Diamond (second part) - Dogs (stone...stone...stone...) - The original live version of Sheep (called "Raving and Drooling I go for His neck with a Scream") - Another Brick in the Wall pt 2 - The Trial - The Fletcher Memorial Home (horrible album though) - Take it Back - Keep Talking.... wheew... well, that's all the songs I enjoy. But the best one is Echoes, no doubt.

I'm gonna have to agree with ric (Wow--me agreeing with Ric. Go figure)
American comics have become stupid--with so many re-starts and reinventions. It's become utterly riddickulous.

But yeah... If the trailer is anything to go by, Spiderman 2 is gonna rock.


Eh? Is it so hard to agree with me? Am I so ridiculous insane that all my opinions are incredibly and insanely wrong?

About Maus: the great thing about it is the title, at least, if you speak portuguese. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but "maus" in portuguese means "bad ones". And the pronunciation of it is exactly as saying "mouse" in english.

There should be a animated feature version of Maus, pretty much like "When the wind blows" (an animated feature about a nuclear holocaust).

The last thing we need is another Bill Clinton. Bush isn't perfect but he is a Hell of alot better then Kerry. What sucks is I turn 18 6 months after the election. So I can't vote. Though I know my parents are voting for Bush.


You have to be 18 to vote? I thought it was 16. Oh well. Ah, but you're going to register to vote, eh, Jimbo? Good for you.

The thing is, it's not up to the media to bring up third parties candidates, because they'll never do it. Do you think Fox News would give equal time for Bush and a green party candidate? I don't think so. People, big corporations put their money on those 2 puppets. You have the oil companies and the war industries supporting the republicans, you have the major banks and the big commercer corporations supporting the democrats, and whoever donates the huger amount of money, elects the puppet who'll rule america for them, not for you. So you indirectly elect someone to rule for the big ones, not for the little people. THAT's what's wrong with america, can't you see? And it's not only in america, it happens anywhere, it happens here in Brazil as well (not for long I hope). So the thing is, you gotta stop being babysited by the media, stop voting for who the TV tells you to. Go to the streets, talk to your congressmen or your senator or whatever. Support a change in the electoral system. Give more credit for other parties, I highly recomend the American Green Party - except on the marijuana issues . Vote for other parties, so they can have more people in Washington. Next election, I would like to see at least strong 4 candidates debating on real issues, and not on patriotic acts or Iraq. C'mon people, it's up to you!

That's what I'm doing, Gundark. I may not agree with Nader on everything under the sun (I'm a Republican; how can that be possible?), but at least Nader cares about the average American. I have to vote my conscience this year, and if that means 'throwing my vote away,' so be it.


And that's why the whole political system in the United States must change as soon as possible, or it'll be lead to a nazi-esque facist regime (maybe it's already like that, and you haven't noticed). More than 2 sides of the same coin. More than 2 opinions that lead to the same conclusion. Don't vote to defeat an opinion, vote to make your own opinion to be heard. Don't vote to conquer, vote to heal. Get envolved in your local politics. Don't let the corporations choose the puppet-leaders for you, let your voice be heard! It's your country, not theirs.
