Movie of the Day #2
Billy Jack (1971)
Billy Jack is a half-Indian/half-white ex-Green Beret who is being drawn more and more toward his Indian side. He hates violence, but can't get away from it in the white man's world. Pitting the good guys, the students of the peace-loving free-arts school in the desert vs. the conservative bad guys in the near-by town, the movie plays definitive late-60s themes/messages: anti-establishment, make love not war, the senseless slaughter of God's creatures, the rape of society (figuratively and literally), two-sided justice, racial segregation and prejudices, and basic socialist ideals.
Movie of the Day
Norman's Awesome Experience (1989)
Plot: Eighties Geneva, Switzerland. "Rockabily hipster" Norman, who just happens to be a nuclear physicist, is seduced by a fashion model and lets her and the photographer Umberto into the lab. Unfortunately Norman's slightly mad fellow scientist is trying to win the Nobel Prize that afternoon, and the three of them get zapped back in time to the Roman Empire.
Jealous?
Probably not, the rest of Canada is not sharing in the excitement.
I had sleepless night before these showed up.
Oh well, fuck'em.
