  1. Red Dragon I read the book a few weeks ago (and before that, decades ago). The movie did an ok job conveying the major elements of the story. Obviously entire sections of the book were omitted, but appropriately so. They had good actors, and the acting was decent. Sometimes Ralph Fiennes was a bit overwrought, and I wasn't too keen on Harvey Keitel as Jack Crawford. But my biggest pet-peeves were that they overemphasized Hannibal Lecter's role in the story, and they changed the ending for no good reason. The book was a lot better. The movie Manhunter was also based on this book. I plan to watch that one, too. That movie was pre-Silence of the Lambs, so I expect Lecter's role won't be so out-of-whack. Interested to see how they handle the ending.

  3. Gravity It was ok. I liked Interstellar way better.
  4. I have gone out, a possessed witch, haunting the black air, braver at night; dreaming evil, I have done my hitch over the plain houses, light by light: lonely thing, twelve-fingered, out of mind. A woman like that is not a woman, quite. I have been her kind. I have found the warm caves in the woods, filled them with skillets, carvings, shelves, closets, silks, innumerable goods; fixed the suppers for the worms and the elves: whining, rearranging the disaligned. A woman like that is misunderstood. I have been her kind. I have ridden in your cart, driver, waved my nude arms at villages going by, learning the last bright routes, survivor where your flames still bite my thigh and my ribs crack where your wheels wind. A woman like that is not ashamed to die. I have been her kind. Anne Sexton
  5. Someone read this at my dad's memorial service. I thought it was very fitting.

  10. Peter Gabriel - Apres Moi Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood Apres moi le deluge, after me comes the flood [video=youtube;NC6hmg1UUYI] ]
  11. Outstanding performance of this song [video=youtube;03vVcla4lX4] ]
  12. Life of Agony is a band that I listened to when I was in high school. They are a Pantera/Biohazard type with a sprinkling of Type-O-Negative. Most of their lyrics dealt with alienation and rising above The Man. Tough-guy bravado was the latest trend in metal bands back then. I figured Life of Agony was riding the wave. And rightly so, because they were good, and Kieth Caputo sounded appropriately tough. What a surprise it was to find out that Kieth Caputo was transgender, that he identified more as a woman than he did as the tough guy that his voice projected! Kieth Caputo is now Mina Caputo. So, it seems these words were not just empty words when Kieth sang them: If you don't walk with me, I will walk alone Hard enough to believe in myself When I know they don't believe in me Unwilling to change for society I'll be who I want to be [video=youtube;l-tl6AinvSc] ] Good for her. It takes a lot of bravery for someone to come out like that, especially in a genre with so much machismo. Mina Caputo seems like a real decent soul.
  13. Yes, he and his wife study tantric sex, apparently LOL (Well, at least that's what I read)

  18. A Particularly Vicious Rumor | Brave My navigator, well, she is obliged, And she promised me, she'd stay by my side. She's the only one who sees this ship is going down, And she's the only one who's not afraid to, she's not afraid to drown. [video=youtube;MpDckqlTp0k] ]
