that'd be my first guess - otherwise 'Very bad things' for some reason... hmmm..

qn: was beetlejuice actually a dead human, or just a member of the netherworld?

(ps: love that movie)

Nope, not Beetlejuice, not Very Bad Things . . . . . .

I always thought Beetlejuice was a real guy - 'cause he tells the Maitlands that he lived through the black plague, and 'you're talking to a dead guy". He was also probably a suicide, since he used to be Juno's assistnat, and we know that suicides end up as civil servants in the afterlife.............

(you'd better not have gone shiloh)

it's gotta be either a Burton, Gilliam, Craven, Tarintino or Kubrick film. Few others would use a line like that... *ponders*

oh bloody hell... now i have to narrow it down???

without outside aid, i'm not going to guess.

okay, we'll guess by Director.

Not Burton. seen all his stuff. Craven.... not scary enough, it sounds like more of a sarcastic remark. Tarintino - it didn't say muthafarker, so he's out ... Kubrick and Gilliam... hmmm :/

Oh My F***ing God!

I was looking for a nifty obscure DeNiro quote incase "A Clockwork Orange" was right...

...It's Brazil, right?

(On my videotaped copy... not online, BTW...)

"The farmers have won. We have lost."

(From one of my most favoritest films...)

I'll give it to you...

My take on The Seven Samuari...

...for Jaffa, Kree's benefit...

...so you can skip it and go on, if you aren't interested.

The Seven Samuari is a classic statement about human nature...

Most people are like a flock of sheep...

...like the farmers in the film.

Interested only in their own survival and success, yet unwilling or unable to fight to protect themselves.

There are others out there who only want to prey on others, the wolves...

...the bandits in the story.

These men are the criminals, psychopaths, rapists, murderers who use violence to get what they want without concern for other humans.

There is a third breed.

"Sheep dogs"...

..the Samuari in the film.

Like wolves, they can use violence and are able and willing to fight.

However, their motive is only to fight in lieu of others who can't (sheep/farmers), to protect them.

The movie showed how these "sheep dogs" are necessary, yet at the same time misunderstood and feared by those that they protect...

...And, that often, the job as protector is a costly one where only the sheep really benefit.

*yawn* thats nice dear...

here's a quote from another movie i watched that night:

"Laughter kills fear, and without fear there can be no faith, because without fear of the Devil there is no more need of God."
