Hi reader and welcome to "Silly Thinking with Douglas Lain" now union made.
I'm Jim Farris filling in for Douglas while he arranges for the sale of his children on the internet to a rich Swiss businessman.
Now some dribs and drabs from my weekend...
I got a bad cold on Saturday and was house bound most of the weekend.
I watched DVD's and the news most of the time:
Saturday night saw "Stuart Little 2" and "Monsters Inc." plus the rocket attacks on the Al Rasheed Hotel in Baghdad and the forest fires in Southern California.
"Stuart Little 2" was a needless sequal to the original charmer. Not bad (it was short.)
"Monsters Inc." was funnier this time than in the theatre. Lots of extra goodies that were great on DVD.
The rocket attacks were exciting with great live pictures and a quick lesson on "Who is Paul Woolfawitz?" since the architect of our Iraq policy was staying in the hotel. You kind of wonder if Condoleeza Rice might have had something to do with the attack. If Wolfawitz went "missing" it would make Condie's job easier.
The California fires look like God's revenge on the golden state for making such a huge error recently.
Sunday I saw Colin (Oh I must have my Colin operated on!) Powell on the Sunday morning talk shows saying that the there is good news from Iraq and that he was optomistic that Baghdad would return to normal.
Watched "The Cotton Club" & "All That Jazz" plus the documentary "Home Movie" and the breaking news on a series of car bombs killing and maming people in central Baghdad.
It made me sad that Colin Powell has to carry the water for this sham of an administration and lie on TV in such a bold face manner only to look even more ridiculous hours later when everything he said immedialty came back to haunt him.
"The Cotton Club" is still a horribly flawed Francis Ford Coppola movie with flashes of brilliance throughout.
"All That Jazz" is a 1979 masterpiece written and directed by Bob Fosse. If you have never seen it please do you yourself a favor and view this film. Visually, screen storytelling hits landmarks like this once every 20 or 30 years. "Citizen Kane" comes to mind as the one before this.
"Home Movie" is the 2001 documentary by "American Movie" director Chris Smith and explores four different "families" and thier love for thier dwellings. I love the couple who converted the missile silo in Kansas and the "cat family" from California. But that guy with all electric house... well this is one to see and see again. It's available at Movie Madness and threw the library. You won't be sorry.
The car bombings that blew up the International Red Cross in Baghdad followed by three or four other bombings throughout the city of 5 million just brought home a seering reality: Look what we have done. We have drawn this scenario and watch death everyday and new martyrs who will die everyday to prevent the west from making another Isreal out of Iraq.
Isreal dosen't work, why would you want two of them? On the other hand "Stuart Little 2" wasn't that bad if you got kids.
Well that was my weekend see ya in the funny papers.
Join us tommorow for Pulitzer Prize Nominee (1949) Sy Gold and the celebrated "Celebrinet".
