"Don't you think I hear things? There are a lot of canaries flying around by the docks."
One of my favorite scenes from the first Rocky movie. Rocky's boss/Godfather wants to know more about the girl Rocky is taking out the next day.
Rocky:"You ought to count your blessings. You're still a healthy person."
Buddy:"I don't like your face."

Whateverhappenedto...
Hahahahhahahaha. In 1984, sculpter Billy Lawless did a lot of work for something he must have known was going to be dismantled as soon as the authorities heard about it. Did he think a dancing neon male organ was going to go over well in conservative Buffalo?
If I remember correctly, at the time, his handlers said they were dancing peanuts. It would have been classic Buffalo had they said they were chicken wings.

Classic movie scenes:This is this
From The Deer Hunter: Robert DiNero and his hunting buddies go out on one last road trip before a few of them are sent off to Vietnam. Jon Cazale, who you might remember as Fredo Corleone from The Godfather, plays DiNero's immature, irresponsible friend, Stan. Once again, he shows up unprepared and DiNero tries to teach him a lesson. I think the acting in this movie (as well as the story itself) is what sets it apart from the garbage they put out these days. Cazale was in The Deer Hunter, The Godfather, Dog Day Afternoon, and The Conversation (all nominated for Best Picture in their respective years). He died of Bone Cancer before The Deer Hunter was finished filming. He barely made it through his scenes in the movie, yet gave a typically great performance...

Navy S.E.A.L.S. elite unit
We all know the picture of a deceased Osama bin Laden circulating the web is fake. However, one of my sources in Pakistan (who wishes to remain anonymous) has leaked this photo of the elite team of Navy S.E.A.L.S. who took out Osama bin Laden...

Tom Hanks television highlights
It's not that often you get to see Arthur Fonzarelli do battle with Forrest Gump. Fonzi pushed this guy off a swing in the 3rd grade. He then transformed himself into a ninja so he could seek his revenge...
Here he is on a "very special" episode of Family Ties. I thought this show was supposed to be a comedy??? I just watched this clip, and it might lead me to go have a drink."My name is uncle Ned and I am an alcoholic".
I never knew he made an appearance on Taxi, also...

You can check out any time you like...
One of the best opening lines to any song you will ever hear...
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell
Then I was thinking to myself this could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say
"Welcome to the Hotel California"

What ever happened to?...
Someone tried to convince me once that this lady was a fraud. I hope they're never despondent and need her services. She obviously was given a great gift. So what if she was born in Los Angeles to American parents. "That's what me thought"...

"You're not a man. You're a bishop."
Another classic scene from Caddyshack:The judge, the doctor, and the bishop are all hanging around the Bushwood Country Club. Judge Smails tries to counsel the bishop on his recent excessive drinking...

Three Stooges Clip
When posting a Three Stooges clip the other day, I looked them up on Wikipedia. I know it's not always an accurate site but you can find some interesting information on there.
At first glance, the stooges might seem like a harmless comedy act. I'm not too big on slapstick comedy but those guys were brilliant. It's hard to believe something that was made so long ago can still be looked at as funny today.
According to a published report, Moe, Larry, and director Jules White considered their best film to be You Nazty Spy! In this short film, Moe satirized Adolf Hitler at a time when the US was still neutral towards the Germans. Hitler was so outraged by this that he immediately placed the stooges on his so called "death list".
When Joe Besser replaced Shemp in 1956, he had a clause in his contract specifically prohibiting him from being slapped too hard. He noted how he felt Larry's face had become "calloused" from constantly being struck by Moe.
I like some of the clever lines that went along with the unprovoked violence. Here is a clip I came across today of Curly dancing. Listen to how old the music is. Curly accidentily rips off Moe's partner's dress. She is unaware of this and asks him if he feels a draft. He says, "Draft? No. I was exempted." Curly's partner tells him he is a very unusual dancer. He says, "I come from a long family of dancers. My father died dancing. On the end of a rope."
