Post title

ok so let the long weekend start, three days off...... driving home, listening to the bbc they had some american woman that was talking out against rape and some new laws in california or something and she started saying how her boyfriend had sexually assaulted her (because she said, 'quit it, i'm tired', but like it took her ten years to figure out that was a sexual assault) - this lady was for real...........then i thought of bill o'reilly, who, despite having mentioned in last post and now again just now in this post, we do not generally spend any time thinking of or even remembering his existence at all, however, it would have been interesting to hear his opinion of this woman after she said exactly what she said, which has been reasonably well paraphrased --- the words 'far left loon' definitely come to mind

anyhoo..........moving on, the holy grail of movies, to some extent: one flew over the cuckoo's nest......remember that scene where mcmurphy is really steamed because he can't watch the baseball game so he gets all the nuts to pretend/act like the baseball game is showing on the tv anyway, when in fact it's just a blank screen

well often, due to lack of worthy tv/movies, that is all there is in the benji's mind: a blank screen......although we'd like to watch something entertaining, hollywood can't get it's act together so benji has to cobble something together in his own mind

take will ferrell, he often does funny stuff but he's very hit and miss.......... and you don't have time to sit through all his work annotating which is worth watching again and what not.... plus what has he been doing lately apart from appearing on australian tv and selling seaweed on japanese tv commercials? solution: imagine will farrell in your own movie, in fact, in MY own movie --------

JEWDO!    (title)

when it's time to throw someone over your shoulder!    (goofy tagline)

(synopsis)  Rabbi Goldfinkle (Ferrell) has been keeping/sugar-daddying a sultry Latvian honey on the side unbeknownst to his wife Meira, children and congregation at the Synagogue in Forest Hills, NY, where he is a highly respected pillar of the community. Then one day his Latvian lover, Ublanka, gives him an alternative: give her a million dollars and say goodbye to her forever or she will reveal his dirty secret to his entire congregation and wife, etc. Unable to come up with a million dollars, Goldfinkle and his erstwhile (what does  that word even mean?) buddy Hymmiemyer (Ben Stiller) happen to walk past a poster advertising a backstreet Judo competition for money. Goldfinkle has only three months to come up with the money, but will he be able to toss enough people over his shoulder in that time to win big? Further complicating matters, he's never actually studied/practiced Judo before.

BOGSAT

'parently that's u.s. military jargon for Bunch Of Guys Sitting Around Talking or basically what the talking heads at fox news do on a regular basis..........not having seen any o'reilly for many moons now, nor their talking heads: colonel hunt, colonel mustard (made that one up), professor green (sorry that's another cleudo name character)..... anyway, you know, goldberg and the other jewish guy krauthammer and the miller guy -- just not tuning in so not sure what their BOGSAT about 'Islamic State' in syria/iraq is

but reading some various newspaper articles about it recently, here's what we deduce

some american journalist was recently beheaded and it shocked the pants of all the people that forgot that this was happening every second day, virtually, in iraq under bush - or something near to it - temporary amnesia can do that to you

philosophical note: "one should be careful not to become a monster when dealing with monsters" - nietzsche

the dynamic in iraq and subsequently syria should be seen as a bush/obama thing --- bush started it in the first place, it was completely him and his people that wanted to go there --- and a bunch of americans......

obama is the exact opposite, he's a total isolationist.............

this isn't pointing fingers, saying 'told you so' - -because we never told you anything of worth on this blog except the whole thing is a mess

but remember mccain was saying, let's arm the syrian rebels -- we actually agreed with him at the time! well it turns out america did arm those very same rebels! indirectly by virtue of arming the iraqis and then those rebels taking the arms......... obama did nothing in syria and now a lot of people are calling to attack the very people they would have been supporting and arming against the syrian president only a year ago!

so clearly the whole situation there is a mess.............. all this talk about 'destroying IS' is absolutely crazy talk......... nothing is going to be destroyed there...... all they can do there is protect some interests like big oil, the shi-ite govt. in baghdad............ dysfunctional! the american military wouldn't even sell fighter planes to the shi-ite govt. they set up in baghdad at such cost..... and then the russians came in and did it in a heartbeat, and what is that govt. doing with those russian fighter planes?

and there's a story about the u.s. military not having 'good intelligence on the ground there in IS land'.... really!? there aren't enough satellites to see a million different things to bomb?

and the really smart thing that someone said: there's no strategy, without a strategy there's no way forward

and then you have Dempsey talking about building a coalition with the Europeans! a coalition of what? french fry producers? maybe they can have a coalition that changes all the french fries around the world into freedom fries! fuck having a coalition with Europe, that just sounds clueless

how about - keep IS away from targets you don't want them having? oh yeah, Barry doesn't want to bomb anything, fodot (forgot - [sic])

that's my BOGSAT, but it was really just one guy, not bunch of guys, and typing, not talking so really, ODLAT - one dude lying around typing

oh, almost forgot, the 'danger' of importing 'home-grown' terrorists back from the war zone........ really? can we all just breath easy, knowing that internet surveillance is at an all time high and all the home grown terrorists are probably all spotted and accounted for? people have always been able to make home made bombs - all they need is a bunch of petrol and a car, they've been doing it in iraq for years and years under bush, killing 200 at a hit, and in pakistan too........... the whole goddam nutjob 'islamic' world took a big breather under obama...........just accept the fact that these guys love fighting and they don't give a rat's arse about the civilian populations they are brutalizing in iraq under the pretense of making them strictly observant of 'religion' (that stinks!) - lock them up already if they are u.s. or australian citizens the minute they get off an airplane deciding their bloody holiday adventure is over and they want to go back to selling watermelons

home grown terrorism, give me a break! if people can't procure RPGs here in australia or america then they can't take down a landing jumbo jet and any monkey that can pump gas can build a big enough bomb to mass murder people if they really want to............the majority of moslems in australia and america are not disaffected whackjobs but happy and hard working citizens........ not a threat......... don't tell us the intelligence agencies don't have the 'home grown' terrorists on their fun fighting holidays in syria/iraq fichados (spotted)

benji deserves a medal bitches

and here it is: the U.S.
Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal 
Service: Navy, Marine Corps
Criteria: Meritorious service or achievement in a combat or noncombat situation based on sustained performance of a superlative nature

whether it's a medal or a flash of boobs from kate couric, everyone deserves rewards in life 

God knows i have taken so much shit now, it is a miracle i never got a medal sooner.... my russian buddy Sergei from Siberia flew in to sydney today from hawaii where he spent the past few months and i gave him a ride from international to domestic terminals with a brief park and stand up chitty-chat for about 20 minutes where he presented me with this medal (that some guy in hawaii gave him randomly), and some american flag stickers, one of which i stuck next to my rear registration tag...... needless to say, you can buy this medal for yourself probably for $1.50 on ebay, but it was nice actually being presented with one, and without having to go through the arduous back-stretching and saluting and starching of clothes and what not......... actually i've booked in for a september 9 visit to the army here to see if i can get a job for the army, although not sure if they would take me, at age 38 and not even sure i can do the minimum push-ups/ chin-ups they require...... however, i've quit smoking 10 days ago now - absolutely quit...... so my cardio-vascular health should be pretty good......... not sure what standards they require for heavy vehicle drivers but that is the job i'm applying for anyway, of course with the army, if they take you, they can deploy you - eg., to afghanistan or iraq ---  i would probably go -- not like anyone is getting blown up with IEDs from australian army in iraq lately --- if i had to go to afghanistan i wouldn't trust any of the locals, least of all the ones in their army meant to be on 'my side' -- complete bunch of treacherous fuck-ups those guys are, everytime u.s./australian army people get blown up it's often one of the afghani guys that is meant to be on their side -- at least the taliban tells you they are your enemy, they don't pretend to be your friend and then betray you while they are at your side........what a complete disaster........... actually it'd be pretty scary driving a convoy to afghanistan through pakistan, those pakistanis are just trouble...... often it's the talibanis there blowing you up in pakistan, but at least they aren't traitors, just hostile........ do you remember all those civilian truckies in iraq from america getting blown up all the time under bush? and all that so that ISIS sunnis can take syria and half of iraq under obama -- with all the american weapons and what not trucked around by those almost mercenary civilian truckers (they got paid huge $$$ but very often were blown up)

btw, now that the benji has been given some recognition and earned a medal, it's probably a good time to say that despite bitching about all kinds of celebrities, like Jimmy Kimmel, etc, the truth is these guys pay huge amounts of taxes to support things like forest rangers and what not so actually society should be grateful to people like this for paying big amounts of taxes, despite being idiots. At ease.

movie review: "big ass spider" 2013

a big resounding yes to this movie, in fact, have just spent a few minutes trying to find some old australian car commercial from the 1980s where the jingle says 'yes, yes, yes!' --- just to emphasize the emphatic YES this movie receives

set in LA, including downtown LA, this movie is a hoot and a holler, giant mutating spider gets bigger and bigger, tongue in cheek comical military types - cliched seek to destroy giant spider, as does pest killer and his buddy jose

noone in this  movie comes across like barry manilow, in contra-distinction to the previous movie, the lebeuf vehicle........ and btw noone is saying you should go and suicide like williams did just because you feel like you can't be entertaining --- suicide is not a response to not feeling adequate at entertaining others as serious thespian or stand up comic or whatever........ we understand low dopamine/seratonin, dehabilitating depression such as caused the lady that did all the female voices on south park until she shot herself in the head in 1999............... it seems most understandable in war veterans and least understandable amongst entertainers, but surely lack of ability to be taken seriously and inability to entertain might possibly gnaw at the metaphorical entrails of actors and entertainers as this is their raisson d-etre (that's french for reason for being)

anyway, noone in this movie came across like barry manilow like in the previous review: not the spider, not the fighter jets, not the military major guy, not the pest killers, not jose, not the blonde, noone! that's great!

even the casting agents for this movie, those are the people that choose the actors, when they were auditioning spiders for the role (i'm guessing they built miniture version of LA in order to make the spiders seem bigger -- they possibly used a special spider exclusively for stunt scenes, it's all smoke and mirrors, these movies) anyway, even the casting agents that chose the spider(s) that were cast in this movie, they weren't like barry manilow either so no need to relearn potty pooping for them! hurrah!

movie review: "The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1196948/?ref_=nv_sr_1  (imdb: "The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman")

this movie sux, don't waste your time watching it....... i just got it for whiffy coz she's like from Romania and this movie is set in Bucharest.......... this movie is a good opportunity to explain what is wrong with acting schools / 'hollywood' / modern western films, etc

first of all, can you recall that movie 'the breakfast club' where the teacher guy is about to hit judd nelson's character and he is saying what a swell guy he is and how everyone thinks he's great and then telling the nelson kid that he is nothing

this is how benji perceives the thespian world that produces the western movies in general -- as that swell teacher guy that's gonna be 'crackin' skulls'....... and benji is just some poor, wretched kid whose dad gives him a carton of cigarretes and says smoke up Johnny and who can't even have a proper relationship with Clare because of their socio-economic differences and what not

you know i went one night in nyc to watch some players perform some scenes from some shakespeare plays that are familiar to us, like king lear for example.... some acting teacher, samual l jackson's teacher was there playing king lear's fool and there were some other famous thespians there.......... also we mentioned on this blog taking a couple of classes with angelina jolie / christopher walken's teacher: bob mcandrew.... and taking a few acting lessons here in sydney at the actor's pulse studio in redfern........

look it doesn't matter where benji goes with the thespians, the relationship is always the same, the thespians are established, they are right and proper, they are in with the decent folks (degenerates all), they are crackin' skulls, they are the teacher guy from the breakfast club........benji is just a poor, misguided, foolish youthful guy with excellent hair

so nobody is going to care what advice i could offer to shia lebeouf, right? why would they want to listen to the benji, that'd be like wanting to listen to the punk judd nelson character from breakfast club give you career advice -- crazy -- you wouldn't go to him unless you needed a cab ride and someone to scream and carry on around obnoxiously like the two-faced animal you are; sorry to digress anyway

http://youtu.be/zGiCkSJOdpg  (professional thespian 'crackin' skulls')

my advice to labeouf: redo potty training -- not suiciding and being reborn as a baby like robin williams has/will do and relearning toilet training as a baby, but really just setting up an acting school where you can just 'make the breakthrough' of potty training in front of ten or more qualified potty trainers

i mean this in the most literal meaning of the words, in fact, ALL acting schools around the west could institute the same regime: get an adult sized potty, pull your pants down and crap in there in front of everyone......... that's probably the best you could do

it's unlikely shia lebeouf will ever be able to make a movie seriously worth watching unless he redoes potty training (as an adult) -- not potty training someone else in his free time, but seriously going to an acting school and relearning potty training there -- seriously -- and literally

then you wouldn't have anal trash all the time maybe

God Bless
