some of my favorite things : pulp fiction sam jackson

“…i wouldn’t go so far to call the brother fat, i mean hes gotta weight problem, what the niger gots to do? hes samoan…” – that’s a damn shame

“…check out the big brains on brett, you’re a smart mother fucker, that’s right.” – check out the big brains on brett

“…man …i will never forget your ass for this… in fact what the fuck am i doing in the back, you’re the motherfucker who should be on brain detail…” – car scene brain detail

“…now, i want you go in that bag and find my wallet… its the one that says bad-mother-fucker…” – diner scene bad mother fucker

quentin tarantino’s classic pulp fiction — watched this gem on my flight west and remembered all the greatest bits of dialogue that tarantino and samual jackson mouthed off. just brilliant! the film is not a story but rather bits of ingeniously funny dialogue, and i’m not even including the great parts with bruce willis, just great stuff… worth another watch. by uh

Rahsaan Roland Kirk : The Case Of The Three Sided Dream

“the case of the three sided dream”

i was updating an old fela kuti clip and showing it to a good friend of mine, and he pulled out this little trailer…. an older documentary i must have missed on the great rahsaan roland kirk. kirk was politically outspoken. during his concerts, between songs he often talked about topical issues, including african-american history and the civil rights movement. his monologues were often laced with satire and absurdist humor. kirk became blind at the age of two, which he said was a result of improper medical treatment. he often played several instruments at once not as a gimmick but rather as a necessity to communicate his layered thoughts. his blindness stifled his life to some extent, but that did not stop him from becoming one of the most influential jazz musicians in history. excited to watch it and thank you my friend for the lead. by uh

History snapshot with 60 minutes archives : before we all went nuts

60 minutes archives

now that xy is on a history lesson trip, here’s a great snippet into the past

before the world lost their mind – and when there was still some hope for peace

they try and make is sound complicated but its really not…

there is a land that 3 religions find sacred. they once all lived together on the same land. they can do so again. if you just stop the dehumanizing language of racism and hate and fucking with one another until one side goes mental. rinse repeat. you have to stop demanding the entire place for yourself, and using civilian terror tactics to win. we need a fair and just mediator as these people have been unable to make peace for 75 years and the way its going there is none in sight. finally, not that there is a god, but if there was one for all you delusional people, no one god gave this land to any one people. if you believe that i gotta a book that gives me everything you got. finally lets be fair, be nice — if you are in charge, find a way to live together and stop calling it a “religious state” for just one of the 3 faiths, or split the land 3 ways or make it a UNESCO world heritage site with no one government ruling it. i’m no politician but you guys are fucking up the entire world over this shit piece of land 90% of us don’t care about… by dd

what is wrong with the palestinians?

a pretty IDF soldier checks our reporter

a deeply personal documentary, dena spends a day in hebron retracing the footsteps of her father, who was born and raised in hebron. our reporter is given a tour by a kind hearted Israeli IDF ex-soldier. it is a look at life before october 7th massacres in the palestinian west bank territories which was and is not controlled by hamas

while these stories of human suffering can be heart breaking, i hope you can see there are good and righteous people everywhere including the IDF which you may believe to be harsh as they defend their country. there are also so many israeli’s who have stood up against the collateral damage that is the killing of innocent woman and children and do not support netanyahu. as long as there is hate and bigotry on either side there will be no peace and both governments are guilty of not delivering that to the good people of each side.

finally this can not be watched without a bit of history on how this country came to be and why. “how israel was created“

please educate yourselves by reading and watching multiple sides of the same story and judge for yourself. everything is biased, some are more biased than others. I find these to be factual and fair, but that is me.

if you watch this and you feel hatred in you, you are falling for the trap that is set for us all. understand your world and know that no one people can be all bad or good. there are good people and bad people in every country and culture. if this makes you hate all jews know that you have succumbed to oldest of racist means. you can condemn an act of a government or a group but to assign that guilt to their family and neighborhood and all such people is what we all must condemn. by xy

OCTOBER 2023 PICKS – movies to watch out for

around the office it’s not uncommon to hear the phrase “great things don’t come out every [expletive] fucking year”, often followed by “if you’re lucky, once in a decade – but, i mean, it’s a [expletive] fucking miracle if a generation produces one great thing”, and then maybe an hour and a half lecture on godard or kali malone.

here below are three good movies.
