PoemS by Jewel to think about

Father of a Deaf Girl
Jewel Kilcher
Every time her hands began to stutter he became enraged. She threw these fits sometimes, and he never took the time of understand what they meant. Her words were wasted on him. Her hands useless birds caged by their quietness, and he would immobilize them, tying her wrists together so they'd jump like awkward fish, gasping at the shock of air. Un-heard they'd dance like that for hours, her eyes full of silent desperation, on the other side of the closet door. He never even knew what they were
saying. I want to fly from here! I want to fly from here! I want to fly from here! I want to fly from here! I want to fly from here! I want to fly from here!

Cowboy Bebop the movie

Cowboy Bebop the movie

Synopsis
"Mars.  Days before Halloween 2071.  Villains blow up a tanker truck on Highway One, releasing a deadly virus that kills hundreds.  Fearing a bigger, even more devastating biochemical attack, an astronomical reward is offered for the arrest and capture of the person behind the destruction.  On the space ship "Bebop," Spike Spiegel and his crew of bounty hunters (Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Ed and Ein) are bored and short of cash.  But with the news of the reward everything changes."

How many people here have seen any Cowboy Bebop before?
The first thing I loved about it was honestly the music. Bowboybebop has, in my opinion an awesome soundtrack. Then there's the show. I mean before this I had nothign to do with anything country. Yet a show about cowboy bounty hunters pulled me in and somehow kept me interested. There are some pretty good clips and a trailer on the link I posted, if anyone would like to check them out.

I would like to hear a few opinions on Cowboy bebop and especially from those who are not fimiliar with the show.

Oh and on a side note......if you enjoy fun random songs, download the song chicken bone from the cowboy bebop soundtrack.

Brownie pointage and a cookie to the person who can tell me what episode chicken bone was in.

POINT OF NO RETURN


Date of publication: 03/19/1993

By Roger Ebert

"Point of No Return" is a "Pygmalion" for our angry age. In both stories, an older teacher picks a girl out of the gutter and teaches her new skills. Professor Higgins taught Eliza to act like a lady, and now Bob teaches Maggie to be a lady and a cold-blooded assassin. Both women get a lot of lessons on how to hold their forks.


The movie stars Bridget Fonda as Maggie, a girl of the streets, who is high on drugs when she kills a cop during a drugstore robbery that goes wrong. She is sentenced to death, and to keep the story rolling along, the movie shows the sentence being carried out almost immediately (not likely in California).


But, in fact, she is not killed; the execution is a cover, and she awakens inside a secret government school for killers, where Bob (Gabriel Byrne) tells her she has two choices: Go along with the program, or end up underneath the tombstone that already carries her name. Maggie is put through a quick course in weapons, explosives, martial arts and good manners. The last is taught by Anne Bancroft, as an older woman who gives her a beauty makeover. She comes to the center looking like a wolf girl; she leaves as a well-groomed beauty.


Bob gives her a new identity and sends her to live in Venice, Calif., where she soon falls in love with the photographer who lives downstairs (Dermot Mulroney). But soon she is assigned to murder a man in a restaurant, and eventually it becomes clear that Bob's bosses consider her expendable. Bob, of course, has fallen quietly in love with her, a feeling that business keeps him from acting on.


If this story sounds familiar, you have seen "La Femme Nikita," a 1991 French thriller by Luc Besson, which was bought by Warner Bros. to be remade into this American version by John Badham ("WarGames," "Stakeout"). The notion of pouring European films into Hollywood molds didn't work out recently with "The Vanishing," but "Point of No Return" is actually a fairly effective and faithful adaptation, and Bridget Fonda manages the wild identity-swings of her role with intensity and conviction, although not the same almost poetic sadness that Anne Parillaud brought to the original movie.


If I didn't feel the same degree of involvement with "Point of No Return" that I did with "La Femme Nikita," it may be because the two movies are so similar in plot, look and feel. I had deja vu all through the movie. There are a few changes, mostly not for the better. By making the heroine's boyfriend a photographer this time, instead of a check-out clerk, the movie loses the poignancy of their relationship; Nikita liked her clerk precisely because he was completely lacking in aggression.


The movie does, at least, end on the correct note of suitably bleak melancholia. Hollywood sometimes feels it necessary to squeeze all films into happy endings (in the case of a violent thriller, that means the right people get killed). That would be all wrong with this story of a woman coming to grips with her violent nature.

You're mission if you choose to accept it.

This message goes out to all my perdy members which hopefully will be more and more over time. You're mission if you choose to accpet it is to write a paragraph or two about why you think lj-cuts are so hard for some people to do.

That was just my idea, feel free to write about anything you want.

Btw I want to promote my community but I'm not sure quitehow to go about that. Any ideas?
