I haven't left the building.  My computer caught a virus and spent Wednesday afternoon to this afternoon at the computer doc's office.

I have not seen, and will not see, A Clockwork Orange.  I heard the gratuitous violence would be more than I could take.

I suppose you liked Reservoir Dogs, too.

I watched your Reservoir Dogs but half way through remembered I had seen it before. The ending wasn't any better the second time than the first. A movie made for American audiences and full of violence.

Break down and rent Empire of the Sun, you will thank me that you did.

Try Bridge over the River Kwai. The best Jap prisoner film made.

I would say it's good but liked the Unbroken which is another Japanese camp movie.

Give you all a little hint, it's a true story about an America Olympian star and who joins the America air-force and gets shot down and gets picked up by the Japanese and gets put in one of their death work camps and the movie shows just how brutal they were treated. an Excellent movie and it's playing on Tubi right now. Tubi is a free channel with a lot of free movie.

 Also would say Empire of the Sun was better movie that The River Kwai.

Now I will be marching around & whistling all day, Major. Damn you for bringing up that great movie. 

He'll destroy them as he probably stars in them. 

marquis, don  archy and mehitabel 1927. Sorry for the lack of capital letters and punctuation.  Archy is a vers libre poet who died and was reincarnated as a cockroach.  He can't work the shift key.  To the point, this is a line from one of archy s observations while in London and encountering ghosts:

one of the most pathetic

sights however

is to see the ghost of queen victoria going out every

evening with the ghost 

of a scepter in her hand

to find mr lytton strachey

and bean him.....

I googled Lytton Strachey but I couldn't find a reason why Queen Victoria would want to bean him.  Is he a character in British nursery rhymes or something?  Don Marquis is pretty accurate in his other historical mentions.

He published a biography of Queen Victoria in 1921, I've not read it but the reviews say it isn't particularly controversial, although he does claim that Prince Albert wasn't in love with Victoria when they were married but did become so later, perhaps that's why. 

He'll destroy them as he probably stars in them. 

You’ve got a particularly venomous strain of TDS Mark but no, he won’t be in them, no matter how many times you click your heels and say, there’s nowt like a good moan.

Elon Musk suggests otherwise. 

So he did Mark on X. He lost billions yesterday over his Tesla's stocks dropping thanks to D. Trump. Trump also want's to cancel all of America's contract with him but he can't says the Lawyers.
