Ruled Paper II- A Miscellany Of Topics.
Here is a YouTube vido of Ray telling about his all time favorite movie. This was recorded last Summer at the Simi Valley Library with Sam Weller as the moderator.

Probably not much, I'd say.


Not only bad judgment, but, if some of these skanks are telling the truth, terrible taste as well! He can't at least cheat with someone a little attractive?

Oh serious now, dandelion. There's as many as 6, maybe as many as 10 girls voicing the airwaves. You can't say they are unattractive. Tiger's wife appears to be a doll, and, from some news earlier, said she has packed her bags and left the Tiger home.

Here is what appears to be a student film version of 451, in Spanish.

Wow - it's really bad isn't it?

Farhenheit is a good word.

The Tiger claimants appear to be of varying attractiveness, but the one I saw before writing that had a face which could have been used as sandpaper. I wonder if she was lying or if he was just really wasted.

To All My Democrat Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.


To My Republican Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

George Lucas submitted his original cut of 'THX 1138' as his student film. When Steven Speilberg went back to get his degree he submitted 'Shindler's List' as his student film.

An at age 15 Ron Howard would make movies using his Super8 camera starring his brother Clint, father Rance and mother Jean.

And with the exception of his mum (who passed), he still uses pretty much the same cast!

Actually earlier. I saw a special on the old Griffith Show featuring scenes of him shooting with the Super 8, and their were remembrances by Andy and others who commented on how they knew that he, regardless of his incredible, natural talent as a child actor, would someday be a successful director.
