Endless Ends

[investor2020]

I recall an old way to determine whether or not one should worry about something . . . adapted from an old Irish proverb.

Why worry? There are only two things to worry about. Either there will be a war or there won't.

If there is no war, you have nothing to worry about. If there is a war there are only two things to worry about.

Either you will be directly impacted or not. If you are not impacted there is nothing to worry about.

If you are directly impacted by a war, there are two things to worry about.

Either you will not survive the war or you will. If you survive the war there is nothing to worry about.

If you do not survive the war, there are two things to worry about.

Either you will go to heaven or to hell. If you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about.

If you go to hell . . . well, you will be so busy shaking hands with all your friends that you won't have time to worry about anything.

Well, now. That's a curious piece of inductive reasoning.

 

[Endless_Night]

I have done all the things.

Not sleeping well lately, so settling into a movie. Wolfen (1981) .

I vaguely recall having seen this before, but can't remember the plot, or indeed, any of the details. Presumably it is about werewolves? I mean, with that title one can only hope.


There may, or may not, be updates.

1) This has Gregory Hines. (Who, for some reason, I thought was a dancer?)

2) Also Albert Finney. (I remember seeing him in a rerun of Tom Jones (1963) won television when I was about 12. That eating scene that was - apparently - supposed to be sexy scared me forever. )

3) I've also learned way more about beheadings during the French Revolution than I cared to know.

He was a dancer known for tap dancing.
I hope popping in and commenting is ok.

 

[Endless_Night]

He was a dancer known for tap dancing.

Ahhhh. So I'm not crazy.

I hope popping in and commenting is ok.

Of, course!!

I just ramble on with input here and there from others.

 

[Endless_Night]

I am now learning about international mutilation.


I'm not sure I'm going to like this movie.

 

[Endless_Night]

-They fed a mouse to a boa on camera!!!*
-"Hitman in a fur coat."
-We seem to be spending an inordinate amount of time in the morgue.

Gregory Hines (the coroner) is rocking the whole one earring thing. Long an dangly at that.

*does not approve.

 

[Endless_Night]

There is full frontal male nudity!!!!

 

[ydahecnot]

Ahhhh. So I'm not crazy.

At least not on those grounds

 

[Endless_Night]

At least not on those grounds

Thou'rt so amusing.

"Long an dangly at that"? (Sorry, the juxtaposition just amused me.)

Oh!! How I mange to hit these poor word choices so consistently I will never know.

 

[hotwords229_A]

There is full frontal male nudity!!!!

I don’t remember that happening. Are you sure you weren’t watching Wolf-In (the porn parody)?

The great part of werewolf movies is that they almost require nude scenes.

 

[ydahecnot]

Thou'rt so amusing.

Are’unt I, though

 

[Endless_Night]

I don’t remember that happening.

Oh, it happened. a few times. The scene was sort of . . . extended.

Are you sure you weren’t watching Wolf-In (the porn parody)?

What?!?! Is this really a thing or are you messing with me?

The great part of werewolf movies is that they almost require nude scenes.

That is usually women flashing their breasts.

NOT FULL FRONTAL MALE NUDITY

The 80s were a different kinda time.

 

[Endless_Night]

Are’unt I, though

In the history of mankind, that was never a word.

 

[hotwords229_A]

Oh, it happened. a few times. The scene was sort of . . . extended.

Extended, huh?

What?!?! Is this really a thing or are you messing with me?

I’m messing with you, but it’s probably also a thing.

I remember there being An American werewolf in London werewang.
If you are going to run through the forest naked, some stuff is going to flop around. That’s just something werewolves have to deal with.

 

[Endless_Night]

Extended, huh?

Omg. I did it again, didn't I?

Why don't I catch that sort of thing. Make it stoooooop!

I’m messing with you, but it’s probably also a thing.

Noted.

I feel like there should be in-the-midst-of-transformation werewolf thongs. They could be made of fur or something.

 

[Endless_Night]

Movie tidbit I forgot that was rather interesting.

There was a curiousreference to the "Indians" owning all the "high steel".

I look it up. Obviously.

Turns out the Mohawks were heavy involved in building New York's bridges. Ironworkers. They were called Skywalkers. Interesting bit of history of which I was unaware.

Isn’t being nude what it’s all about?

 

[Endless_Night]

Isn’t being nude what it’s all about?

Not when it's a case of me being visually assaulted out of the blue while watching a movie.

Have you already forgotten about the Full Frontal Male Nudity?!?!

Because I never will.

Oh, man.

 

[ydahecnot]

In the history of mankind, that was never a word.

There twasn’t?

Oh, man.

It was a werewolf movie.
They traditionally wake up nude in the woods.
That’s part of the fun of being a werewolf.

Twisn't.

 

[Endless_Night]

See, @hotwords229_A?

You have shocked @Wand3rlust to her very core. Tsk.

I call your attention to the canon of Lon Chaney werewolf movies. Not ONCE did I see his nether regions.

*bangs gavel of final judgement*

You've just become inured to all that 80's slasher flick nudity.
