I never walked out on anything, although I did see other people walking out. Two elderly folks walked out of "Audition" when the young lady started sawing the mans leg off. I'm puzzled as to why they went in the first place.

"He was growing into middle age, and was living then in a bungalow on Woodland Avenue...He was listed in the city directory as Thomas Howard. And he went everywhere unrecognized and lunched with Kansas City shopkeepers and merchants, calling himself a cattleman or a commodities investor, someone rich and leisured who had the common touch...He also had a condition that was referred to as "granulated eyelids" and it caused him to blink more than usual as if he found creation slightly more than he could accept. Rooms seemed hotter when he was in them. Rains fell straighter. Clocks slowed. Sounds were amplified."

Narrator "The assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford"

#16 and 17. Horrible histories "Horrible Edinburgh" (well I have to fill this somehow!) and "1434:The year a great Chinese fleet sailed to Italy and ignited the Renaissance" by Gavin Menzies, a highly speculative book that claims just that;that the Chinese visited Italy in that year.

"Nothing ever begins.There is no first moment; no single word or place from which this or any story springs.
The threads can always be traced back to some earlier tale, and the tales that preceded that; though as the narrator's voice recedes the connections will seem to grow more tenuous, for each age will want the tale told as if it were of its own making.
Thus the pagan will be sanctified, the tragic become laughable; great lovers will stoop to sentiment, and demons dwindle to clockwork toys.
Nothing is fixed. In and out the shuttle goes, fact and fiction, mind and matter, woven into patterns that may have only this in common: that hidden amongst them is a filigree which will with time become a world"

Clive Barker "Weaveworld"

"Harvey and I sit in the bars... have a drink or two... play the juke box. And soon the faces of all the other people they turn toward mine and they smile. And they're saying, "We don't know your name, mister, but you're a very nice fella." Harvey and I warm ourselves in all these golden moments. We've entered as strangers - soon we have friends. And they come over... and they sit with us... and they drink with us... and they talk to us. They tell about the big terrible things they've done and the big wonderful things they'll do. Their hopes, and their regrets, and their loves, and their hates. All very large, because nobody ever brings anything small into a bar. And then I introduce them to Harvey... and he's bigger and grander than anything they offer me. And when they leave, they leave impressed."

Elwood p.Dowd(james Stewart) "Harvey"

#15-The Source by Michael Cordy. Indiana Jones type stuff, nothing special. Full of cliches-a sinister priest,a mysterious nun,a ruthless assassin, a lost city in the depths of the Peruvian jungle, an incredible secret that would transform the world if it got out....etc etc

" Eli closed her mouth, then pressed a kiss on Oskar's lips. For a
few seconds Oskar saw through Eli's eyes. And what he saw
was...himself. Only much better, more handsome, stronger than what he thought of himself. Seen with love."

Thats an interesting old film! The scene where the old woman looks down into the coffin is very eerie.

Best Movie QUOTE ever!!!: click here to read the entire thread »

"Secretary" .Maggie gylenhaal begins a strange S&M relationship with her boss played by James Spader. When thay finally go off together to the country he ties her to a tree. I especially like the scene where-after he spanks her- she masturbates in the Ladies Room while moaning his name.
But come to think of it "Crash" is even weirder. It stars James Spader (again!) as a man who comes into contact with a weird sub-culture that associate death and mutiliation caused by car crashes with erotocism. Best scenes include the scene where he has sex in the car with the crippled woman wearing calipers and the one where they discuss great car-crashes of history
" would you consider the Kennedy assassination to be a kind of car crash?"
"The case could be made!"
