I really loved to watch professional wrestling when I was a little kid in the 1980’s. I tried to watch it again last night, and it’s just not the same..
This is awesome:
I don’t understand what the fuck is going on here, but I don’t want to watch it:
And finally, I don’t understand what’s going on here, but it’s awesome and I want to watch more of it:
This video is really wicked because it has Kaki King playing guitar, which would already make anyone’s day, AND it has Dan Brantigan playing a seldom seen or heard EVI, creating a true “Hey! You got chocolate on my peanut butter!” “No Way, you got peanut butter on my chocolate” moment. This couldn’t be any more magical if Sigfried and Roy showed up and made that white tiger float all over the stage.
I have the following questions about the movie “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence”:
1. Who’s idea was it to get David Bowie to play a hardened, tough-as-nails British jungle commando war hero?
2. Is this supposed to take place at Christmas?
3. Was the pitch for this movie “It’s about the horror of war, the value of human life, the different cultural ideals of what humanity means, and then at the end of the movie David Bowie makes out with this Japanese dude”
-or-
During the filming of the last scene, did the following conversation take place:
Director: “Ok David Bowie, you jump out of the bushes, shoot this Japanese soldier point blank in the eye, and say ‘Yipee Kai-Yeah, motherfucker!’ like it says in the script”
David Bowie: “In my contract, it clearly states that I get to butt fuck him. I’m calling my lawyer”
Producer: “Hey, let’s just compromise and you kiss him on the mouth for a bit”
Any answers or guidance will be greatly appreciated. Happy Holidays.
