The Horror – 2

by

Its been almost a week since I saw Apocalypse Now. But it keeps coming back to me. This one line in particular.

Kurtz: I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That’s my dream. That’s my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight… razor… and surviving.

The next line is in because I was watching a documentary on the word “Fuck” yesterday, with Tera Patrick in it (Hell Yeah), and all I could think of was this line from Brando. Am I going insane?

Kurtz: We train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won’t allow them to write “fuck” on their airplanes because it’s obscene!

Some lines

by

Was just reading a few blogs and came across a few lines that I liked or had some connection.

Dextrous Doings – Comment by Sunrise:

Haven’t we all been there… the only thing good about life is that there is a new day waiting for you at the end of each terrible one… and that is why, I guess, I have a thing for sunrises…

The intimate ramblings of a lost hearty soul:

I still love him. I am still angry with him but I still love him.

I remember having said the first line, or something very close, to a friend once. And have watched a sunrise whenever I have felt down.

Perspective

by

Confused points to this quote from Stanley Kubrick on Schindler’s List.

“Think that was about the Holocaust? That was about success, wasn’t it? The Holocaust is about six million people who get killed. ‘Schindler’s List’ was about six hundred people who don’t.”

This is from a review of the movie WTC by Roger Ebert. Catastrope does bring out the best and at times the worst in people.

Foot-in-Mouth Awards

by

The Wired guys have done a 2006 Foot-in-Mouth Awards. Though the entire list is humorous and right up there, this particular entry, methinks should not have been there. I mean all this guy said was the truth, and nothing but the truth. CEOs in general are people who say twisted things in a more confusing matter. But Billy Boy believes in providing you the straight dope.

“Let’s face it. We’re not changing the world. We’re building a product that helps people buy more crap — and watch porn.

~ Seagate CEO Bill Watkins“

Personally, I think the one by Senator Stevens is the best on the list.
