I think it's a sex-role thing, where males grow up being expected to fight (and serve in the military). Then, as a runt, I'm galled by the "fair fight" thing. If someone's bullying you, you're not supposed to snitch, to invoke some kind of rule of law, you're supposed to fight him "fair & square." If you're small, or not particularly athletic, you're supposed to make up for it with "pluck." Fuck pluck. I mean, I can stand my ground & take a beating if I have to, but it's generally the stronger, larger person who can deliver the beating. IMO *physical* fights always just show who had the *physical* advantage to begin with. Or who was more habituated to fighting, more into it, more knowledgeable about fighting & whatever informal "rules" govern it in that social group, more into physical culture, etc. etc. And in my day grownups often encouraged boys to settle issues this way, when the conflict did involve facts that could be discovered.

I'm sure our resident undead-fanatic Natalie Jane will be there opening night for both films. ;) Maybe these two vampiress characters could get into a 3-way (fight, that is) with Buffy (I never watched that show, but I saw Angel once, and the original Buffy movie). Speaking of superhero movies, I had a strange dream last night where I turned into Ang Lee's version of the Hulk, probably influenced by seeing the trailer recently, and did some serious ass kicking myself. Don't recall ever gaining super-powers in any of my dreams before. - --Jason "Only the few know the sweetness of the twisted apples." - Sherwood Anderson ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 May 2003 12:12:37 -0700 From: Eb Subject: Re: ooops > > Has this list reached rock-bottom? ;) > >Unless I can tempt you to a discussion on why cluster samples require >wider confidence intervals than random samples? You naughty, naughty boy. Eb - ---- Martin Scorsese will direct a documentary about Bob Dylan and the impact his early music had on the cultural and political landscape. Scorsese, who featured Dylan in his screen version of the Band's "The Last Waltz," will have full cooperation from the singer, who'll give his first filmed interview in 20 years. Project is being financed by Guy East and Nigel Sinclair's Spitfire Pictures, along with Thirteen/WNET New York and BBC Television. The film will debut on WNET's "American Masters" series and BBC's "Arena." It will be shopped for theatrical or TV distribution in other territories by Sinclair, who's producing with Jeff Rosen of Greywater Park, WNET's Susan Lacy and BBC's Anthony Wall. Scorsese's Cappa Prods. will also produce. The docu will begin in 1963, when Dylan began his rise to socially conscious folk hero status with songs like "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Like a Rolling Stone." It stops at 1966, after he shocked his audience by going electric. He had a motorcycle accident that year and didn't tour again for another eight years. Dylan's last filmed interview was for a "20/20" segment in 1985; he has never spoken this extensively about his early career. "I had been a great fan for many years when I had the privilege to film Bob Dylan for 'The Last Waltz,' " said Scorsese. "I've admired and enjoyed his many musical transformations. For me, there is no other musical artist who weaves his influences so densely to create something so personal and unique. This project gives me a chance to explore one of the most exciting artists and icons of the past 50 years." Sinclair and East's first film since they left Intermedia to form Spitfire was "Masked and Anonymous," which features the acting and music of Dylan. This docu is, in part, an outgrowth of that film. Sinclair has always wanted to make a Dylan project on the order of the highly successful "Beatles Anthology." When he met Dylan, they got into discussions about "Masked and Anonymous," which Sony Pictures Classics will release July 26, and delayed the bio. "Imagine the chance to have Bob looking back at those years, with an exhaustive catalog of concert and other footage that has never been seen, and Martin Scorsese to interpret it and make it his authored story," said Sinclair. The footage includes plenty of concert material through those years, including Dylan's first-ever performance on the electric guitar. WNET's Lacy had been imagining it for a decade, and her continued calling paid off when Dylan became ready to tell his story. "Was there a more important artist helping us deal with our collective angst back then?" asked Lacy. She said footage is being catalogued and delivered to Scorsese, who'll begin to make choices and then do the editing on the project when he completes production on "The Aviator," the Howard Hughes film that stars Leonardo DiCaprio. The Dylan pic will be ready in late 2004 or early 2005. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 May 2003 16:55:23 -0400 From: Ken Weingold Subject: Stolen Segway Hehe - I want to see the parts show up on Robot Wars. - -Ken ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 May 2003 15:55:45 -0500 From: "Gene Hopstetter, Jr." Subject: Radiohead, maybe I'm kinda looking forward to the new Radiohead album.

Monster Garage, baby! Is this the /greatest/ show or what? The unintentional comedy is staggering. Michael "mine would go something like this" Wells ... "We jacked a couple old LTD's over in Petaluma, pulled the 460's and Nobby's overboring and stroking 'em now. A couple new 4bbl carbs and we'll have this piss-poor excuse for a skateboard doing 140 in no time flat." (while Howie works the engines into a roll-bar frame freshly welded around the Segway's platform, Jesse sets to work on a set of pipes for the exhaust). "Seeing a Segway without proper exhaut smakes me want to smash shit up. Fuck this, I'm going hot-air ballooning." Later that day 24" custom aluminum wheels courtesy of Al's Rimjobs and the sticky Yokohamas arrive. Total cost for the wheels: $0 (sfx: "Freebie" / "Freebie" / "Freebie") That night, tempers are short. R-dog has been unable to get the twin engines to turn over, and while pouring kerosene down the carburetor accidentally set the Segway on fire twice. "We were supposed to have this thing done 10 hours ago. But we're not leaving until it's done." Team members start showing each other scars and missing fingers they got from working on other Segways while tired. Day 6: Nigel from West Coast Paint is putting the final touches on the newly christened SegMonster: "Jesse wanted a black widow theme, but instead I'm going for a satanic death's-head skull in red and orange metal flake on the housing, with tracing pinstripes up the eight-ball four-on-the-floor shifter they slapped on last night." Cost for paint: $2800, or 93% of budget. Jesse arrives, fresh from a morning kayaking expedition off the coast. "Dudes, it is like...so insane." Donning a helmet he revs up the throttle, rocketing face-first through the garage's cinderblock wall and out into the street. Everybody: "Awesome! Do it again" Jesse: (groan) Announcer: "Next week on Monster Garage...the Abrams M1A1 Tank!" ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 May 2003 14:50:05 -0700 From: "Jason R.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.
