FIONA'S MASSIVE APPLE

Who? - Fiona Apple McAfee-Maggart (DOB 77.09.13) is an American singer-songwriter. She released five albums from 1996 to 2020, one of which was called "Fetch the Bolt Cutters"

 

"in order to feel safe while home alone, Apple "would roller-skate around the dining-room table 88 times, 88 being the number of keys on the piano."

 

 Junker JU 88 (it's amazing how often the number 88 pops up!)

 "That's how the public sees me, as this pretty little girl, and I'm sure Sony's very happy about that. Because if you're pretty, you're more marketable. But that's wrong. And that's what puts pressure on me more than anything. I hate it. When I was younger and ugly, nobody liked me. Now people like me because I'm pretty? "

HAVE YOU SURVIVED THE APOCALYPSE?

 Nothing happened did it? I thought there would at least be a short internet failure somewhere, but nothing...so much FUDPORN, so little to show for it!

In America, the Federal Highway Administration issued a warning: Don’t watch and drive. "Don't watch the eclipse while driving" said Shailen Bhatt, the Federal Highway Administrator, in a briefing on Friday.

That was valuable advice...

The next total solar eclipse is due on August 6 2026 so we only have 28 months to prepare for it. It will be far worse than than yesterday's one so start prepping now. Buy supplies and start stocking up.

TOUGH GUYS DON'T DANCE

This movie from 1987, based on a Norman Mailer book, got terrible reviews when it came out, and many people consider it to be appalling. In some ways it is, but I have to say I still think it is one of the most entertaining movies I've ever seen.

I have just watched it again, and still found it enthralling. Yes the acting is a bit odd, but compared to the limp, woke, turgid crap that passes for movies these days, this is a work of sheer genius.

The reviews are terrible but ignore them, reviewers don't know shit from chewed dates. And this movie is definitely chewed dates!

This review is quite entertaining really: https://film-authority.com/2021/03/24/tough-guys-dont-dance/

 "Tough Guys Don’t Dance is trash, but it’s amusingly self-important trash, a film that lays open the vanities and miscalculations of the creative force behind it"

"For bad movie fans, it’s a masterpiece of over-ripe dialogue, ridiculously melodramatic situations, and rabid, macho posturing that curdles the moment it hits the screen. Over 30 years later, we’re still talking about Tough Guys Don’t Dance"
