Your Commie has no regard for human life. Not even his own. Oh, and Friday random 10.
The movie theater in town has a 'Retro Movie Night' where, for $5, you can see an old movie and participate in some film anarchy. Yelling, throwing things, and shouting out movie quotes are encouraged. It's one of my favorite things about this town.
Last night's offering was Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove. If you haven't seen it, or haven't seen it in a decade, I strongly suggest that you do. Between Slim Pickens' cowboy-hatted pilot obsessed with 'staying the course' and Peter Sellers' titual former Nazi, who can't help but call the president "Mein Fuhrer!", it is even more hilarious in the light of recent events. In fact, if you take every every use of the words "Commie", or "Rooskie" (remember those?) and substitute "Terrorist", you could have any speech by Condoleeza Rice. Except when Pat Robertson forgets that you can't be afraid of commies and terrorists at the same time. 'Cause, dude - that's just stupid.
The random 10 today comes from the (rather depauperate) offerings on my work computer, but are LBP approved, nonetheless.
1. Hotel Yorba - The White Stripes
2. La Fiesta Comenza - Gipsy Kings
3. Drive-in Saturday - David Bowie
4. Roxanne - The Police
5. Angry Inch - Hedwig and the Angry Inch Soundtrack
6. Refractions in the Plastic Pulse - Stereolab
7. Nazi Punks Fuck Off - Dead Kennedys
8. Imitation of Life - R.E.M.
9. All the Young Dudes - Mott the Hoople
10. Boys Don't Cry - The Cure
