In Reply to: Succumbing to emotional impact????? Embarrassed? Not moi... posted by Harmonia on August 13, 2002 at 22:52:15:
well don't pay me no mind...I enjoy the Hollywood dreck that gets VK in such a foam, and I love the foreign/indy films too.but too much of the latter makes me depressed or insane...
i'm tired
it's nice not to have to think, just sit sipping and let Ron tell us a story with a happy ending...and then to sleep; perchance to dream.
we all know the story of our lives...we all see dead people...people who, like a Hollywood formula film, are just going through the motions of living...headed for that inevitable, predictable, "happy ending" {...a good husband and father...a dependable employee...solid citizen...never strayed from the straight and narrow, nor took the chance at chasing the white rabbit down the hole...never thought to step through the looking glass...died without ever having lived...Amen.}
after seeing Easy Rider I didn't sleep for weeksthen again I watched "Henry V", crying my eyes out at the beauty of the writing...Kenny B. God bless you, you are brilliant as Harry.
we few, we happy few...
oh yes, I see dead people
doesn't everyone?
so once again into the breach...
wearing the leek proudly on St. Crispian's Day.
i can't watch too much of the good stuff...
who's for invading France?...those bastards! catch me after a film like that and I'm up for anything...anything
holding on to my Hollywood sanity is a life's work enough.
Follow Ups:
Invade France, I mean. Good idea.Just bought the Criterion Collection Edition of Henry V this week. Like Ken's version too. (But like Walton's score for Olivier's better than Ken's soundtrack.)
My fave JC films are the two I mentioned, in for 3rd & 4th would be High Fidelity & Grosse Point Blank, then Eight Men Out.
Yeah, I know, sometimes I have same reaction to VK's posts. I'm snotty, but sometimes I just wanna be entertained. I like all kinds of films, commercial, classic, indy, foreign... LORDY - the SO just called we're headed to The Piano Player tonight. I better est up.
