No not that.

Happy Birthday!

Zeitgeist · #2 08-14-2006, 12:34 AM

Thanks, I also share this honor with Fidel and the Berlin Wall.

I'm aiming for 2 out of 3, however.

BTW, I saw your earlier comment about Kubrick. Other than Lolita and Spartacus I am not too fond of Kubrick's work. I like the "Italian" directors (Scorcese and Coppola). Their appeal to emotions fits in with the kinds of movies that I like.

I'd almost trade with you on that one. I was born the same day and same year as Mr. T. Every year on my birthday, the radio happily announces that today is Mr. T's birthday. I can only guess thain't no others of note born on that day.

I feel so.... so.... insignificant.

My favorite Kubrick movie is, "Paths to Glory." Of course there's, "Dr Strangelove" which is a close second.

Two passings I'm certain you lament.

1.5. Berlin wall is down but not sure if it is a good thing for the West Germans. Fidel is half way down. Not sure if that is a good thing either.

Full Metal Jacket. My only disappointment with that movie is that there was one mistake by Gunny

Well, I guess you'd have to look at it from the POV of an East Berliner...or a Cuban exile.

For an East Berliner, it is good. Not so good for West Berlin as they are bailing out their ex-commie brethern. Cubans? Don't know. What is the difference between Fidel being dead or alive? Is the next in line going to change anything? If it is SSDD then no difference.
