What, did you get Arizona Dream? I got the dvd as a present and we watched it with friends years and years ago, and we were just looking at each other like: Huh? None of us got it. Do you have to get really drunk or high to get it or something?

ha i thought it was weird but pretty obvious love story. what exactly you didn't get, flying fish and eskimo? i figure it was a metaphor  the film also had an amazing score, Iggy Pop singing songs by Bosnian composer Bregovic. and the director, Kusturica, has some other great films, but this one is still my favorite.

Things too various to mention, just a consequence of being from a very masculine culture, very patriarchal, members of my family, though not my old man thankfully (at least not to violent extremes), i'll give you two examples.

I'm 8 yrs old right, in Kashmir (lived there 18 to 24 months in spots, the longest period being a year when i was 8 yrs old) my Uncle arrives home, in a mood over something, my Aunt is like whats wrong, whats wrong, whats wrong, obviously concerned, he doesnt answer, she keeps asking, then all at once he picks up this kind of thick wooden instrument typically used for grinding garlic and herbs and just drops her with it, flat out and walks off.  Like really puts her right out, like one might do with a man they had an issue with.  Its not regular or anything but when it did happen it was sudden and swift, without warning and it happened in a great many instances, in this country as well as over there.  One of my mates over here from the West Indies, his Dad Alex used to beat his Mum quite a bit, saw her with her jaw wired shut.  She was always so lovely, couldnt understand aged 12 why anyone would hit her, she used to call me 'Trouble', her name was Winnie.  

Or another one, where this girl in Kashmir, all these ladies were sitting around talking about some girl who did something silly or got herself into some kinda trouble and one of the ladies said this saying they have over in Kashmir, always stuck with me, it translates something like 'a womans brains are in her heel', to denote that women are naturally stupid.  This was a group of middle aged women saying this.  Always stuck in my mind, that.

yea this it's probably not the best childhood experience.... i had never witnessed domestic violence myself, didn't know it was such a huge problem untill i started to work with this project dedicated to family/relationship problems and now i see that a lot sadly. the most wide-spread sutuation, she is being attacked by her husband, she calls the police, they tke him, the next morning they release him, he comes back, promise to never again, she calls the accusation off, case is closed. untill the next time. and so on an on for years. when these women start to work with psychologists, they always say 'oh it's all my fault, i instigated my husband, i am a horrible wife and bad mother, i am fat, ugly and stupid and so on. hell, we even had this woman, she was 55 kg 168 sm high (121 / 55 that is), and her husband said she was so fat that he was disgusted to have sex with her. so he made her loose weight till she was 47 kg and at this point she was diagnosed with the initial stage of anorexia

Its an old board game from back in the days before computer games when fun was illegal for children, in them days us old Grandads played that or Subbuteo (a similarly shite board game only to do with football) when we weren't in the back garden digging holes or bouncing a tennis ball against a wall

Now that i think about it 90% of the trouble i got into as a kid was to do with that, there was just fuck all to do and if you werent good at football (which i wasnt) and girls were yet to be discovered (forthcoming ones anyway!) all there was to do was fuckin' shoplift and smoke fags and just generally make a nuisance of yourself.  

ok but since the game is posted in this thread it must be somehow alchohol related?

See THAT shit to me is frightening.  Was reading the paper this morning, online paper, and Johnny boy had been playing some gig and this girl was holding a placard that read 'Johnny, my heart is BEATING for you' with this enamoured look on her face and its like, did you write that deliberately?!?  And in the lower comments section was just one post by a Lindsay Depp that read 'that bitch whore bisexual lesbian tramp, she was never good enough for my darling Johnny!'.  It leaves me wondering how some people were raised, it really does.

 

it's a flip side of that "world is a fair place" shit, isn't it? My favorite actor is just and righteous, he can do no wrong. also to my observation, some women still have that so called "victim mentality". they think they deserve being mistreated. i have read the article about some muslim country, i don't remember which one, but it said that every third woman was a victim of domestic violence and at the same time every third woman approves domestic violence

Precisely what i was getting at!  You see it a lot around here regarding Axl and his alleged infractions regarding the ladies.

twice as funny when it's performed by women. they probaby think "he would never do it to me. i'm a good person. i wash my hands every time before eating!!"

Watch the obligatory sexists come out behind this one now, isn't it funny whenever a bird comes out with big fuckin' welts on her face a certain cross section of the population puts their sceptic hat on, scratches their chin and goes 'Well, what i wanna know is...'.

 

this is my favorite! there was a study suggesting that people with victim blaming type of thinking are usually those who believe that the world is just, life is fair, all noble actions will be rewarded and all evil actions will be punished bla-bla-bla kind of stuff. they always have the reason to explain why shit happens. and if they can't find it, they just make it up. she was wearing a mini-burka, you know, so she totally provoked it!! for them it's like a defence mechanism, preserving the status quo and letting them keep thier sanity. so this maybe even worse than your usual sexism

 Ever see Dead Man?

was one of my favorite movies when i was a teenager. used to watch it like 10 times, trying to figure out what was going on there and at what point did he pass away 

also Arizona Dream, i watched it over and over again, Johnny was absolutely amazing in it. as well as Vincent Gallo and Lili Taylor

and btw Johnny's character name was Axel   

for the past 2 weeks i had to conduct about 10 interviews and may i say that it was probably same frustrating as being interviewed! oh the agony of choice

Listen mate, if there's some spare going well then...yknow...with the best of intentions and all that   'i would punish myself' fuckin' hell sunshine, what do you sound like?!?  Listen right, you're a man of science right?  It's just jiggling a few molecules, mixing a few chemicals, think of it as research . Its not like you're out to harm anybody are ya, you'll and the dream girl get a giggle, you tick a bucket list box and the missus is none the wiser, who gets hurt here?

Nah, fuck that, its more than that, you owe to the kid in you, you owe it to the hours and days and weeks and months little Soulie whittled away weeping wondering what Olga from Oslo was like when the lights go out and the curtains are drawn.

I mean think about it right, life is so incidental and truth is stranger than fiction, think of all the possibilities of life, all the things that might've happened in life that if you'd've known about em would've changed the course of your life, negatively or positively.  But they never happened or you never found out so nobodys none the wiser.  And its not really infidelity to seek a thrill is it?  I mean what are marriage vows end of the day, whats the important bit, its the caring and sharing and regard and not wanting the missus to get hurt...bangin' another bird dont change that, does it?  Think of it as an exerise is caring for the missus cuz if you really care you'll hide it well .  You're just seeking an avenue of pleasure, momentarily to cause an internal chemical reaction to make you feel good for a bit, like a line of sniff or a couple of pints with your mates...and who could begrudge a man that eh, i mean its not like you're about to do a Gaugin here, is it?

And if you really think about it, do you ever really know what your others been up to anyway, really?

Begone 

i think everybody feels nostalgic about their childhood love from time to time. but most of all it happens when we're somehow unhappy about our current relationship or partner. not saying that's your case SM, just a general observation. people tend to idealize first love as a part of childhood nostalgia, when they didn't have any adult responsibilities and didn't know that much about the dark side of human nature. it's like a lost paradise or something

Aye, but your garage bar is not as yet a world-famous drinking establishment at which an association of pubs may potentially hold a prestigious event but not for the fact that you couldn't explain why you normally wouldn't let half of them in...

that would be The Blue Oyster bar

Whereas after six you're standing on the bar with your knob out singing 'my old mans a dustman'?

years ago we had this guy at one of my previous jobs, he seemed very shy and introverted for quite a long time. once we had a NY party at work, he got drunk and peed in my cup right in front of everyone's eyes. when asked why did he do that, he said he marked the territory  from that time on expression "still waters have deep bottoms" has a special meaning to me 

they have every right to be misogynists, but they will lose money hand over fist 'cause they "have no place at the top of the game". fair play
