Once, in a holding cell for several hours for not paying an underage drinking ticket. Hated it and swore I would never go back. It was Dallas jail, which was a pretty rough place. I was a college kid in there mixing with crack dealers and murderers, guys with knife scars. Scared straight.

It didnt scare me,Rev-it just made me angry-I ended up in a bam bam suit (straight jacket) twice-and in a padded cell once for banging my head on the drunk tank glass when I got arrested in 1991 at a Judas Preist concert-(DAM! I forgot that one!-I got arrested for tresspassing! Because I lost my ticket and I threw my tray of beer at the security when they tried to throw me out-ended up in Kalamazoo-Zoo County overnite-got a 50 dollar fine.)

My friend, you were a handful. 

I have never been to jail I am proud to report.     That does not mean I never did sh!t I should have been arrested for... or nearly was...

I had a friend, a good guy, who before I knew him had been in the USN and in a bar brawl had hit an Australian sailor in the head with an empty beer stein.  Acting out of a movie ( I think) he killed the guy and was dishonorably discharged from a life he loved.  He did no tine, I think.  But he was always remorseful.  Even, stunned.

Camille Saint-Saens, Organ Symphony (and other pieces, it's pretty much S-S's greatest hits)

Wish you could dig this RC, it's very calming, especially with tea. Not so great with whiskey and anger.

I was barely five or six when the Star Trek re-runs were playing on TV in Australia, but Spock was the one character I remembered out of all of them.  It is surprising how we can form such an emotional connection to an actor famous for playing someone mostly emotionless and calm.  Around the same time, reruns of In Search Of... were also playing, so I got a double dose of Leonard Nimoy at a crucial formative age.

Seeing him in more recent shows like Fringe, and the Star Trek movies, was wonderful.

RIP Mr. Nimoy.  I'm sure the next journey will be even more grand than the last.

.

I'll keep an open mind.

I'm having a bit of trouble with that because I'm having trouble trying to figure out

(a) how that movie needs / can have a sequel (that isn't COMPLETELY stupid)

and

(b) how one might think they can improve upon a Philip K. Dick story.

Geez, guys (Scott, et al), not everything needs to be a franchise.

f**k ALL THIS!!! I aint gonna let it rule me! I will RULE IT!!!

Like when I went to jail-the last thing I did was cry in jail-I got mean and I got a "f**k THIS!f**k YOU!" attitude-I'm gonna LIVE!!! 

I aint mad-I'm MOTIVATED!

[RKO outta nowhere!]

RKO outta nowhere!

Madonna RKO off stage at the Brit Awards

Santa with Muscles [1996]... It is a so bad is good movie, and it was a problem for Hogan acting career.
Ironically I found the scenes with Hogan, with the children, and the orphan manager (Mila Kunis) the best.

Too bad there is a total a***ole always around Hogan (someone just broke his head in front of you? steal his wallet! taking the great amount of cash is not enough? mess with his fragile mind to steal more! he redeems, but heck!) and the bad guys are terrible...
 
Just I wonder what director, whoever wrote the script, and choreographers were thinking...

In short, sure it is a bad, fun pop-corn, switch your brain off movie. But most of the badness is not fault of Hogan or Kunis. Actually they gave to the movie the good points...
