Multiple covers of classic songs

Fine, I'll Google.

Oh, the director. I've seen The Shining and Full Metal Jacket.

Check out 2001: A Space Odyssey sometime. I am no film expert, but to me, that one is a real work of art. If you have good sound it will be that much better. It would be half the movie without the classical symphony selections.

I'm going to try to get around to it eventually. It's not the first time I've heard that. Nearly three-hour runtime is my big hangup with that one. The Shining was about two and a half, but I didn't exactly see that movie by choice. I thought it pretty much sucked, anyway.

Oh, and Full Metal Jacket could have just as easily ended, in my opinion, when they got out of boot camp. Everything after that was almost a completely different movie and I didn't get the point of any of it.

It's like, neat story with Hartman and Gomer Pyle, he shoots Hartman...and now stereotypical warzone movie.

First Half: 9/10

Second Half: 2/10

A Clockwork Orange has stuck with me for almost 50 years. If you have never watched the movie it will leave an impression with you.

Read it, liked it, doubt I'll see the movie.

As embarrassing as it is to admit, given the low reading level, Fahrenheit 451 is probably my favorite dystopian novel. I'm really partial to Ray Bradbury, in general, though. In terms of the pragmatic elements, or at least what has become our pragmatic elements, I think he was the closest when it came to his vision for what the future might look like.

I mean, the guy accurately predicted screens that could just as well take up entire walls as well as group Facetimes.

I never knew this song was written about his father.

Man, teenage girls in the 70's were nuts for that band. One of my friends guessed that if you looked at their record collections, every girl in my high school owned Best of Bread. Whenever I was allowed to look at a girls record collection I would look for it and it was always there. Maybe not 100% but close. My wife still has her copy.
