Sad to see that William Hurt has passed away. One of the true greats of the film industry. One of my favourite actors.
RE: I read the news today, oh boy! - CRAZY-HORSE - 14-03-2022
^^
to me William Hurt was a lot like Donald Pleasance in that he played pivotal roles essential to the plot but rarely the number one man.
RE: I read the news today, oh boy! - JeromeD - 14-03-2022
Altered States, The Big Chill, Children of a Lesser God - all brilliant movies.

i would add Gorky Park to the list and the lighthearted "michael" also.
im not a fan of superhero movies in general so theres at least 10 Avengers movies and relative spinoffs i would not watch...
(only superhero movies i indulge in are X-Men and is was only Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen that suckered me in to those)
RE: I read the news today, oh boy! - JeromeD - 14-03-2022
Forgot about Gorky Park - also very good! Also not a fan of superhero rubbish.

if you cant get nowhere with bureaucratic red tape.....

and now two stories that defy any sort of humanity:
the first from Philly an unprovoked attack on a pregnant woman: https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/world/pregnant-woman-punched-in-the-face-by-homeless-man-for-refusing-to-give-up-her-seat-on-philadelphia-bus/ar-AAV3cNI?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531
and the second, not only is the unprovoked attack upon a 60+ year old woman but it is disgusting that two adult males walk by and do nothing about it: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10611269/Homeless-career-criminal-repeatedly-throws-nurse-62-stairs-Seattle-light-rail-station.html

Every now and then I buy an off-the-wall music magazine just to hear what people are up to. I bought the latest edition of 'Wire' and it comes with a CD of original music - mainly experimental stuff - new-age/world/electronica stuff. Busy listening to this at the moment and all I can say is there must be some seriously hard drugs in circulation at present because the stuff on this disc borders on the bizarre. A lot of it sounds like random experimentation without a clue as to where it is all going. A sonic free-for-all and no real focus or journey to the tracks at all. Humans are weird. I sure as hell could not listen to this a second time. Technology is playing the musician instead of the other way around.
Correction - found one track that actually makes sense to me. 'Ocean' by Hinako Omori - whoever that is. Not bad. There is hope...
Now I am listening to the next track - it sounds like electronic farts in a car parts factory. God help us.
The next track is called 'An Absolute Living Hell Part 1'. Well at least they got the title right.
OK I need an Asprin now. Really must stop listening to this stuff a 3.30 in the morning. I won't be getting any sleep tonight...
RE: I read the news today, oh boy! - CRAZY-HORSE - 17-03-2022
i buy "uncut" when there is something interesting for me on the cover,
that too contains a bonus cd of recently released tracks, most are terrible but i occasionally find something to explore further...
RE: I read the news today, oh boy! - CRAZY-HORSE - 18-03-2022
whatever you think of Arnie as a person i thought this televised speech beamed into Russia might just get the 'people' thinking about the truth that is happening in Ukraine.
worth watching if you have a spare 9 minutes.

i had no idea that 'death by firing squad' was still an option in several American States and it has just been reintroduced in Sth Carolina.
