Swashbuckler stars the late great Robert Shaw, best known for his portrayal as captain Quint in Speilberg's Jaws. He and a very young James Earl Jones are pirates in Jamacia. Beau Bridges is the hapless soldier sent to capture them. Genevieve Bujold plays the engenue and Peter Boyle the villian. It's a lot of fun, though nowhere near the intensity of Cutthroat Island or Pirates of the Carribean. It came out about 1977. I don't know if it's on DVD yet.
I could explain Full Metal Jacket, Eyes Wide Shut and others to you, but then you would be depraved like me. Is that really what you want?

Am I wierd in that I kinda like the smell of perm solution?
They're called Afros. And, yeah. The smell offends my senses, you I'd classify that as weird.
But good weird.

No, Afro's I know, but there was a word, a play one the phrase 'white man afro' and I think it was wafro.
they got popular a few years ago, around about the time the band At The Drive In released a single.
Now every one has them, including small children (v cute) and the crazy guy on my train into work this morning (ever been trapped in a very small airless lift while a crazy person interrogates you on wheather you liked the fact that he let you get into the lift first 'cause you were a girl? I don't recommend it, :scaredemoticon:)
but yes, afro's on white guys, fun.
(p.s. i went and did the smell test, its not perm solution that i like but old style setting lotion, think its cause it reminds me of my nana)

If it happens again hit yourself on the head, then say "NO! I don't want to!" Pause and look at crazy person "I don't even HAVE a lighter!"...

My parents hated me, I had one when I was three.
Yes I really was three once...
I was shocked to.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

Yes, finding out I was once a small child shocked me as well, apparently it didn't last long, according to my mother i've been acting 30 since I hit the age of six.

oh you're evil,
I'll have to remember that one.*reads SR post, contemplates being depraved*
is the understanding of the movies worth the depravedness?

I like that too Citizen. You're my kind of crazy.
Yeah, ya see there's much simpler ways of being depraved. I'll happily show you a few if you'd like. I don't think there's anything to understand in Kubric's work. I mean do you have to understand a roller-coaster to enjoy the ride? I think they have a good beat and you can dance to 'em, but they're not philosophical masterpiece's. 'Course that's a matter of perspective. To someone who's never seen water deeper than 2 inches, 12 is deep. Then there's things living deeper in the ocean than we have the tech to see....

its not so much the depth, nor the philosophy, simply that just think i'm missing the message, and want to know if thats the case, cause what I got from it was 'war is shit, mainly cause it makes men do bad things' (grossly oversimplified)
eyes wide shut was just - huh?
I realised the other day that my two favorite movies both seem to have the central messsage of 'stop being afraid and just live yer damn life' so to be honest, i'm happy sticking with the shallow, but its just that people always say how disturbed they are by war movies, and I'm just... not.

Well that's a question I can't objectively answer, as I have all ready declared myself to be depraved.

Hey, Nothing simple or shallow about that. It's a good message. War is shit. yeah, I think our (human) race as a whole just hasn't grown up yet. Like children on the playground, we choose violence sometimes because it's the easiest option insteasd of the only. I won't say it's never right. Sometimes ya have to put down the rabid dog, there's just no saving him. Exploring other options completely first, that's the way I'd go. *shrug*
I don't get disturbed by them either. I don't get bothered by some other things that tend to bother people, maybe I'm broken, maybe I just see things differently. Crime shows that are overly graphic with images of opened bodies, bother most folk, I'm in the "It's just an object, it doesn't mean what you think." camp.
