I must be Methusalah then since I was in elementary school in the early '60s. Also, please do not forget to get off my lawn.

That one is in the clip.

That's very interesting. I find that each language, when you learn about it, has its own unique forms of beauty.

I was so fascinated by that book, especially the first half, but I found myself less than convinced by the theories about the mouths of ancient statues.

Any relation to the great director Akira Kurosawa ?

I'm sorry, but I need clarification for my gratification. Is the bear giving or receiving ?

I can dig it - our cast gave the musical director of our HS musical (a teacher) a bag of weed as the cast present for him ….

I found it very interesting that 'Arnold's' theories on the possible creation of robot consciousness are based on a fascinating book from about 30 years ago called 'The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind' - the premise of which is that earlier humans had no 'internal voice' in their minds,…

Oh please, I live in Omaha and only had to get out my snow blower once last winter.

I agree about 'Code of Silence' - the best scene has to be when the two stick-up guys attempt to rob the cop bar one crook stays by the front door while the other goes in the bathroom then comes out to find every dude in the place has pulled is piece. Later when some other cops come by and the robbers are still being…

Think of the many remakes of 'Mutiny on the Bounty' kind of like a modern Shakespeare in that it's more about the relationship between the two actors playing Bligh and Christian than it is about the overall story - There was Clark Gable and Charles Laughton, Marlon Brando and Trevor Howard, Mel Gibson and Anthony…

What part of 'a well regulated militia' is confusing to you ?

Many many will disagree. The main difference is the quality of the filmmaking which is far over and above your average filmed TV drama.

Not the same band. I am a friend of a friend of the Kaufman brothers, one of whom is now deceased.

Spot on!. My experience of him is that he also can be influenced very much by who else is on the bill and on the stage. By himself he can be intolerable. The best I ever saw him was on a tour of minor league baseball stadiums and such on a bus with Willie Nelson who certainly seemed to have mellowed him. I was…

This is 'Out For Justice'. As a long time resident of Brooklyn, it was tonally perfect. The locations were correct and all real, the accents and the people rang true (like the grocery clerk selling Seagal some puppy chow), and the cherry on the sundae is the appearance of a clearly world weary nameless NYC detective…

Those ingenious 10 second air bottles were lots of fun too.

That sounds more entertaining than any of the songs in the real score except for 'Memories' which must be some kind of fluke.

As to your last sentence, wrong and wrong. Scour the internet a bit (a nasty place that will need a LOT of scouring) and you will see that many, many well known musicians, especially drummers, know that Ringo had some unique chops and was as Harrison was, a definite contributor. As for George Martin's contribution,…

I watched this on Netflix while I was out of work. It was totally heartbreaking and I killed myself when it was over. Luckily I got better.
