no meaning to the subject line, except that i am sitting near someone who is eating food. munchamuncha foodstuffs foodstuffs. this was a bogus, empty day in which i slept strangely until noon. sleeping until noon is not strange, but the manner in which i slept was strange. like poorly-stacked wood. i watched some more TV. oh yeah. part of my ambivalence about getting this gigormous TV is that as muchh as i hate ot admit it i really missed having a television on all the time. i like the game show network, the random movies and shows that wash past, and i like commercials forr the most part, unless i am trying to follow a film’s plot line.<\/p>\n
last night i watched the better part of Rambo II, remembering how i saw it at the theaters in Tampa when but a sprig. people at the theater stood up at times throughout the movie, raising both fists and bellowing “RAAAAAAAAAAAAMBOOOO!” these exaltations often were followed by hoots and hollers and foot-stomping applause from the others at the theater.<\/p>\n
i don’t think i’ve ever bene at another film with a crowd like that. later i saw Siskel & Ebert discussing that film, and other violent films, and describing similar scenes at the Chicago theaters where they saw Rambo. they said it was “disturbing” to see people react with glee at the gore and deaths, and to be among people who had obviously seen the movie several times over and had every gunshot memorized.<\/p>\n
even then, at my young age, i thought siskel & ebert had no business crossing into cultural commentary of that vintage. i had similar feelings of inappropriateness when the fat guy (i can never remember which was which of that duo) talked about the sexiest scenes in mainstream filmdom. he showed a Phoebe Cates scene in which she dances, fully clothed as i recall, to some kind of red-hot sex-fueled music, ending up on the floor with her legs spread and looking exhausted from a faux-orgasm. then the TV cuts to the fat guy, looking hot and horny and with the gleam of sex in his eyes, saying “that’s the sexiest thing i’ve ever seen.”<\/p>\n
they showed another scene from “Body Heat”, where William Hurt corks the woman, but he does so without the director resorting to pornography. that’s a good thing for William hurt, look at what that assfucking scene did for William Dafoe’s reputation.<\/p>\n
i just didn’t want to think about Siskel and Ebert getting woodies. that is all.<\/p>\n
…..<\/p>\n
my back is sore from setting up the TV yesterday. the more i think about that, the more annoyed i am at not knowing ahead of time that i was going to have to do so much heavy lifting. what might this fellow have done were i elderly or infirm? maybe that’s why the 2nd dude was in the truck. for elderly\/infirm backup.<\/p>\n
i have to get a stand for this monstrosity. it is still on the floor, and looking a little precarious perched on a slab of plastic and 2 sticks of metal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
