Movie-mythology

 

 

"I have to tell you I have some real problems with this whole thing despite how much we need it. I'm concerned that too much power will end up in the hands of too few.  It's always in somebody's best interest to promote enemies, real or imagined.  I see this as America's eyes and ears, I don't want it to become its heart and soul." --General  The Good Shepherd

Flash Gordon's football-themed fight scene in the court of Ming the Merciless, a classic! Go Flash, go... 

 

Here's a clip from Batman: The Animated Series that features animation the style and storyline of a segment of Frank Miller's masterpiece The Dark Knight Returns-check it out 

 

Fiction writing & related stuff

Harold Bloom on mindless plot-driven ca-ca fiction

 

 

 

My must-Tivo List (the shows I dig watching, not really in any particular order)

 

For me the Star Wars Saga features two excellent films-ANH & ESB-and 4 grotesque disappointments.  Here's a well done and surprisingly heart-breaking homemade video featuring the struggle between friends, Obi-Wan & Annakin.  It's a lot easier to watch than anything that features Hayden Christiansen reading bad lines.  

 

Recommended Flicks (some classics and some are just movies I've seen recently and enjoyed.)

Peter Jackson's KING KONG is an instant classic. 

Battle of Algiers
