This movie when I first saw it in the late 60's,I must have been around 5 or 6 at the time,made a lasting impression.The eerie vastness and the sense of ambiguity of this alien landscape triggered my passion for the fantastic and mysterious.Would be decades later that I came to know that Leslie Nielsen,master of parody with his signature deadpan humor,had a key role in this auspicious(to me anyway) movie.Thanks for writing what you write.<br />- SukiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311547075033408596.post-4035978102760407682011-01-26T18:08:40.541+00:002011-01-26T18:08:40.541+00:00One flew over the cuckoos nest.

While it is a fascinating read, at a scant 100 pages it would only get you to about Iceland.<br /><br />Care for "speculative" fiction? As you are a literary sort, Gene Wolfe, Dan Simmons, China Mieville would all get you to the heartland. <br /><br />Speaking of which, are you sure you want to come this way?

I get the image of a slobby bulldog following behind me, eagerly snuffling up all the bits n pieces I "drop" and regurgitating them in my lap. Coincidentally, I was reading a bit that went something like: If you want a little waking, give up a little, and if you want it fully, give up everything. The absurdity is that on inspection, there really isn't anything there that is mine and could even give up. But that is the way this business is.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311547075033408596.post-61516781161474045072011-01-19T19:29:09.587+00:002011-01-19T19:29:09.587+00:00did you know peter graves and james arness (matt d...did you know peter graves and james arness (matt dillon of gunsmoke) are brothers? arness is still alive.<br /><br />saw a segment on 60 minutes about many of these dead celebrities have agents who sell their images to print and media. most are making far more than when they were alive. like elvis, james dean, marilyn monroe etc etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311547075033408596.post-13095599506888147232011-01-19T16:07:50.258+00:002011-01-19T16:07:50.258+00:00Thanks Diane.Thanks Diane.No One In Particularhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465987207757191972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311547075033408596.post-33587473878473178402011-01-19T15:18:15.094+00:002011-01-19T15:18:15.094+00:00Such clarity!
