Schwarzenegger said a really ripped body like his couldn't be bought, borrowed, stolen, or inherited; only hours and hours in the gym would do it. (The big difference here is that Arnold didn't find it a burden as D'Angelo did. Working out wasn't a chore irrelevant to his art; it WAS his art.)

We should not say replies are pure pedantry until rigorous pedantry purity testing protocols have been established and implemented.

β€œThe Andy Griffith Show" The Tape Recorder (TV Episode 1967) - Andy Griffith Vs the Patriot ActπŸ₯€ TikTok video by MATLOCKπŸ₯€

Dragnet pretty much invented copaganda as we know it.

There's a great 1967 episode of the Andy Griffith show in which Opie secretly tapes evidence of a crime but Andy erases it. "I can't listen to this!"

Civil rights have slowly eroded ever since.

They've gone to the trouble of making up lies about her. Yes, Jane Fonda traveled to North Vietnam. No, she did not rat out an American POW for passing a note to her. That didn't happen.

Me, I have an elephant memory when it comes to political wrongdoing. I'm still salty about the pardon spree at Christmas 1992 that ended all the Iran-contra investigations.

Didn't have to remember a single password or PIN back then.

If you needed a LOT of phone numbers you bought a Rolodex.

And you owned a phone book.

The real lesson here is that neat categories are a human invention, and there are all sorts of things that don't fit neatly into one. Example: What's the diff between a tree and a shrub? And how about Pluto? Stopped being a planet because the definition changed. (Pluto doesn't clear its orbit).

2.) "John Fowles had once told me that the film of The Magus was the worst movie ever made. After seeing Lifeforce I sent him a postcard telling him that I had got one better." He was also quoted as quipping "Well, at least there's lots of full-frontal nudity."

1.) If all you knew about Colin Wilson was that he wrote the book Lifeforce is based, on, you'd think he was a mindless hack. Far from it. Wikipedia is amusing on this point:

Wilson was unhappy with the finished film. He later wrote:

If you've spent time on TVTropes, you should begin to understand that tropes are to stories as cells are to living organisms. There's nothing wrong with tropes; by definition, it is literally impossible to build a story that doesn't contain any.

If you somehow did, that would simply be a new trope.

Hahah whew I thought this guy was in the 1980s post-punk band The Fall. That's a different thing. (Front man Mark E. Smith is famous in music circles for hiring and firing band mates by the dozens).

Somebody pointed out that nobody in the movie is quite what they seem to be. The silly rumor that McCabe carried a gun up his sleeve turns out to be true.

I guess the point was McCabe was living in a fantasy, that he could fight the corporations alone and win; and Mrs. Miller literally retreated into an opium haze, gazing into a pretty seashell. The preacher was shot dead in his church. Only the townspeople were practical, fighting the fire together.
