#note.//The sequence of when they are caught in the blizzard. I'll always remember to build a hut from straw on a frozen lake where there is no other shelter available.

A solitary man can't survive long in the forest/wilderness once he gets older.

Twelfth of Never

#note.//
I never know who wrote it or that Johnny Mathis sang it and Donny Osmond. All "pop" stars, but it took the "pop" star power of Nina for me to hear it on my stream!

#singer.//
Nina Simone.

The quote of "oh so smart or oh so pleasant" comes up again and again in my head.


#quote.//

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.

#actor.//
Jimmy Stewart as Elwood P. Dowd.

Terminator

#note.//
A classic where Arnold is still bad but good.  How many times have we watched this movie?

#actor.//
Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator.
Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connors

The Princess Bride

#note.//
A classic! Mike F. would be watching this in our house at UCLA.

How many times did Tom R. and I watch it at our house in Brentwood?

So many meme quotes:

Have fun storming the castle!
You think it'll work?
It'd take a miracle.

No more rhymes, I mean it.
Anybody want a peanut.

Inconceivable!

My name is Inigo Montoya, prepare to die!

Marwage.

Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear God! What is that thing," will echo in your perfect ears.

oh you know them all by now.

Leon: The Professional

#note.//
It came out in 1994, so I must have seen it in the 90s? I didn't realize for the longest time that the little girl was Natalie Portman, later of Star Wars fame. Which reminds me, I saw La Femme Nikita, both foreign and American version!



#actor.//
Natalie Portman as Mathilda, little girl taken in my Leon
Jean Reno as Léon, the hitman with a heart.

Roddy Piper as John Nada

Kindergarten Cop

#note.//
Not even sure if I watched the entire movie. I just remember the line, "it's not a toomer". This was probably around the time I was indoctrinated with many memorable quotes from my filmophilic friends.

Other quotes from that era,
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum."
movie.They Live

or as my friends said "And I'm fresh out of bubblegum"

Arnold Schwarzenegger as John Kimble

One of my favorite movies. Watched it several times while living in Brentwood with Tom R.

Bill Murray as Phil Connors.reborned hero
Andie MacDowell as Rita Hanson.

Red Mars

#author.Kim Stanley Robinson

#notes.//
I can only remember some Russian sounding guy's name. It was a multinational team flying to Mars!
Didn't they start dropping devices that would start the terraforming process? They would float on balloons and get "randomly" dropped in different areas of Mars.

There was an associative link to a desert, nomad narrative -- maybe a reference to Dune? and the whole thought stream about desert, nomadic people living on the margins and innovating in dry desperation?

Blade Runner

#note.//
Story starts in Los Angeles, 2019, which in about four years will be the past-future.
It is loosely based on the novel,

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick

The Matrix.1999

#note.//
Starting connecting to the past, and forwardpropagate to future. This movie might be a nucleation point for me.
