| random spanish lesson: 'suelo' means floor and even ground however it is also the first person conjugation of 'soler' - 'used to/usually do' - suelo relajar por la tarde = i usually/normally relax in the afternoon |
i've got some prime beef simmering in red wine and looking forward to downing that with some cheese and bread, yummy...... just took an ibuprofen which past expiry date last january to settle my headache from the movie (saw it at the cinema) and also coz of breathing paint fumes and smoking lately. although had quit for about two months, picked it up again a few days ago
i really liked this movie Fury and knew i was going to, going in to it, was actually quite looking forward to seeing it..... i'm awarding it the: shit eating cock-whore award - level 22, middle grade, which is a tremendous honor and just waiting on the visuals to go through the internet for my phone to upload the photo award
unfortunately, for some mysterious reason, the photograph representing the award is lost somewhere in the internet between my phone on my stomach and my laptop right next to it on my lap......... anyway, my steak is almost done so gonna go eat that in a moment......... just wanted to mention that have seen ayer's 'training day' movie although can't remember anything about it or where exactly it was, i think it was in virginia in late august 2001, on one of my first few days in america ---- there were a few days there in the first few days where i just stayed at home watching old-fashioned vhs movies like 'training day' and what not as i rested between pounding the pavement looking for a job in richmond, going from business to business asking for work......as i mentioned in this blog, those were funny days as only about 2 or 3 weeks later the 9/11 thing happened which was pretty crazy ----
well i took my steak out of the frying pan and cut off the fat, it turned out it was a little underdone on one side, i don't like steak done rare or medium rare as it's too bloody...... so letting it simmer a little more

| and the shit eating cock-whore award, level 22 grade middle goes to, drumroll: Fury..... cue music, actors act surprised and tremendously humbled, approach podium, start thanking your middle school teachers, free willy, whoever |
alright there's the goddam award already, i'll give you a blow for blow what i liked about this movie after i have my steak
wow that was a good steak
ok so the movie, the soundtrack is already starting even with the colombia statue of liberty sony company lady holding her torch up, you don't see that much.......anyway, there's a misty down and then some german ss comes riding up on a white horse with a big mangy long tale..... it kind of goes on for a while like that, there's some ominous, quiet soundtrack....then there's a close up of the horses hooves, all for of them and then then a shot of the horse riding through a post-tank battle where all the tanks are on fire and out of action, then out of nowhere, pitt's character, war-daddy does a ninja move out of nowhere and wastes the german guy riding the horse....... then you start getting to know wardaddy's tank crew, there are three other guys, lebouf's christian character, cletus who is slightly uncouth rednecky guy and the wetback........the other guy has been killed........... next they pull into their local base where there is a mustering of u.s. soldiers and some female nurses.... one of them throws a bucket of blood and there are human corpses everywhere, american most likely, and you see a shot of a bulldozer shovelling some corpses into a pit....... i can't really remember seeing any other world war 2 movies right now for the life of me, except that saving private ryan gave me a headache and the whole soundtrack was just machine gun bullets the whole way through........ everyone at the camp looks real soldierly like and everything looks real realistic, the suelo is very muddy (barroso)...... it's good to see that they took the trouble to muddy themselves up properly and didn't come on set looking like they just stepped out of a hot shower........everyone looks real war weary too so this movie is extremely realistic looking........... wardaddy meets his new gunner who is the main character of the movie.... he's a typist clerk and only knows how to type 60 words a minute......... strangely, it reminds me of myself straight out of high school as i spent the summer learning how to type and do numeric data entry so that i could start working first full-time out of high school in that area........... he is also a christian, this young guy and deadset against killing people in general -- so there are some pretty good scenes at the start of the movie with wardaddy pushing him to summon up his blood a little and get into killing mode which he eventually does with gusto............ not long after there's a scene where about four tanks and 100 soldiers or so attack a very small hamlet......... they do not find much resistance and then there's a scene which i would say is pregnant with poignancy where wardaddy and the green soldier step in on one and then two fraulines who are stuck in the middle of the war......wardaddy speaks german and you don't know if he's going to rape the two of them or what, the scene kind of goes on for about 15 minutes or so and i think it's a tremendous success as they kind of depart the horrors of war, which are already well depicted by this point and escape into a little world, the room about the little platz in the hamlet where their tanks and soldiers await outside -- they end up having a meal at this point, some eggs, it's a real good scene......... look i'm getting bored already with trying to recall the scenes in this movie but it was real good and real entertaining........ it was good to see so many unexpected things happen like a missile out of nowhere and things like that really shake you up so it's full of surprises like that
there's some philosophizing in the movie about christian morality and suchlike and a surprise ending, all four soldiers are killed and the main protaganist escapes through a hatch in the floor of the tank, hides in the mud and is spotted by a SS soldier who has mercy on him and doesn't slay him -- he ends up getting carted away by an american medical van and the movie ends with him staring through a glass pane...........his little german girlfriend in the dining scene (this is really a great scene) gets killed by some german fire about a minute after he leaves her and he sees her buried in some rubble next to a piano that the two of them perform a touching duet on a moment ago
if i have any misgivings about this movie, it's the final scene which is a battle as the sun goes down between 300 s.s. soldiers and the five guys and their tank --- i don't have much bad to say about it though as generally it was pretty good, there's also alot of good acting from the five main players so none of their behavior seems unplausible and there are a lot of dramatic moments, e.g., just prior to the last battle they have
another cinematographic surprise is when they are attacking the little hamlet, about 30 minutes into the movie, you see some american soldier get his leg clean machine gunned off from mid-calf -- that was really cool --- there are good shots of about 5 american fighter planes swoop over Fury and some other tanks there and higher up in the sky, a huge aerial battle taking place -- you get the feeling that the main protagonist would have been better off in an airplane if attempting combat as the closeness to the killing and the gruesomeness of it all turns him off......... one of his first confrontations with it all is cleaning Fury at the start of the movie after he joins the group, he has to pick up the left side of the previous gunners face -- there's a lot of good shit like that in this movie -- real good war movie in my opinion

| well done beef, tomatoes past their prime fried in red wine, melted yellow cheese and white bulgarian fetta with sour cream and bread - yum |
a few hours later, finished first coat on master bedroom, it's 930pm, watching big bang........ a rarity...... sheldon has invented two new chess pieces........ leonard has a girlfriend from india, priya.......... interestingly, checking australia's new 'big brother' for exactly 10 seconds (that's all i need to see) there was a north-american guy (non-mexican) talking about one of the housemate's: also called 'priya'......... on 'beauty and the geek' (a different australian tv show) - looks like they are improving..... they actually vetted my bro (nicknamed joseph stalin) about two or three years ago to see if he'd like to be one of the geeks on the show -- he totally should have done it but he wussed out bigtime -- typical........ even had christian excuse to wuss out and all -- lame........ random inserting of arnold shwarzeneggar voice: 'we are all sheldon and derrick now' (in arnie voice)
so ayer's other movie from last two years was some movie with shwarzeneggar, it kind of looked a bit crappy -- definitely wouldn't watch it -- but way better than driving a cab -- directing that movie so he's still doing great.........there's some tv show from america on: 'madame secretary' -- i totally wouldn't touch that with a telegraph pole, looks like total crap -- would rather watch the arnie/ayer effort about the 'cartel' (don't want to watch it).......... anyway slurts -- good luck to you
