Posted by youjivinmeturkey on

WINSTON CHURCHILL (1874-1965) -Former British Prime Minister And Statesman, Most Notably During WORLD WAR II. He Also Received A NOBEL PRIZE... ...In LITERATURE. He Was A Writer, Artist, AND Historian.-

A VERY HAPPY HEADLINE: “Cards’ Wainwright’s return to mound a success”

Posted by youjivinmeturkey on

(Some Of The Article) From The Associated-Press (AP) –

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP)—Adam Wainwright couldn’t help but flash a big grin. He had plenty of reason to be happy.

Starting for the first time in over a year, Wainwright pitched two scoreless innings for the St. Louis Cardinals in a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday.

“Usually, I am real serious before a game,” said Wainwright, who won 19 and 20 games in he two seasons before having elbow ligament replacement surgery last February. “Once I get kind of locked in, usually I don’t have much emotion to show for guys saying, `Let’s go,’ or anything like that.

“Today, when they said … on the mound today, pitcher Adam Wainwright, the crowd kind of applauded, I was out there cheering in the outfield for sure.”

Wainwright struck out two and walked one in his first outing since Sept. 24, 2010.

“I haven’t accomplished anything yet, but there’s a sense that my rehab process is coming to an end,” Wainwright said. “I’m a normal pitcher again.” …-

That’ll Be 60-Seconds Of Your Life, Please.

HELLUVA DEAL!!!

“10 To MIDNIGHT”

(1983)

“10 To MIDNIGHT” (1983) Directed By A PERSONAL HERO Of Mine, J. LEE THOMPSON, Whom You May Remember From Such AMERICAN CLASSICS As “CONQUEST Of THE PLANET Of THE APES” (1972) (Which Is THE BEST APES MOVIE. PERIOD. “CONQUEST… …IS BEST!”) & “BATTLE For THE PLANET Of THE APES” (1973), “KING SOLOMON’S MINES” (1985), “CAPE FEAR” (1962), “THE GUNS Of NAVARONE” (1961) (One Of THE TRULY GREATEST MOTION PICTURES EVER EVER MADE, btw) AND OF COURSE… …There’s “FIRE WALKER”(1986) !!! The FUNNIEST MOTION PICTURE In History. It’s About Half “WTF?” & Half “No, Really, WTF?” MOVIE GOLD, Fo SHO!

“THE EVIL THAT MEN DO”

(1984)

“THE EVIL THAT MEN DO” (1984) Is Is Is ALSO Directed By J. LEE THOMPSON!!! I Know, Right! How Do They Do It! Amazing. ANYWAY… This One Is A Bit Harder Of A Pill To Swallow For Some People. These Dudes Really Went For The Ole “Kitchen Sink” Routine In Regard To The Violence. And, Of COURSE, CHARLES BRONSON Is The Toughest Of The Tough In This One. And I STILL Say More Stars These Days Should Sport The Bro’stache.

… … …

Yeah.

Great ’80s Flicks, Where You Can TOTALLY TELL They Were Made IN The ’80s.

Simply Priceless, As They Say.

Just Make Sure You’re READY.

“10 To MIDNIGHT”

…Is A Cop -Vs- Killer ACTION SLASHER Flick… …Loaded With… …Nakedness.

And…

“THE EVIL THAT MEN DO”

…Really Goes A Long Way To Make This Film As CRAZY VIOLENT As Possible.

Want Proof?

OKAY…

…The Tagline On The DVD I Have Says…

“MOST CRIMINALS ANSWER TO THE LAW.  THE WORLD’S MOST SAVAGE EXECUTIONER MUST ANSWER TO BRONSON.” 

Yeah…

…Totally NOT For All Audiences.

(hehehe)

If You Can Handle Seeing A Dude Get Electrocuted By Probes And Stuff On His Junk And In His Trunk…

…You MIGHT BE Okay.

Maybe.

Maybe’ish, More Likely.

“Once Upon A Time… Once When You Were Mine… I Remember Skies… Reflected In Your Eyes… I Wonder Where You Are… I Wonder If You Think About Me… Once Upon A Time… In Your Wildest Dreams. …” — THE MOODY BLUES (“Your Wildest Dreams” (1986))

“…Once The World Was New…

…Our Bodies Felt The Morning Dew…

…That Greets The Brand New Day…

…We Couldn’t Tear Ourselves Away…

…I Wonder If You Care…

…I Wonder If You Still Remember…

…Once Upon A Time…

…In Your Wildest Dreams. …”

“…And When The Music Plays…

…And When The Words Are Touched With Sorrow…

…When The Music Plays…

…I Hear The Sound I Had To Follow…

…Once Upon A Time. …”

“…Once Beneath The Stars…

…The Universe Was Ours…

…Love Was All We Knew…

…And All I Knew Was You…

…I Wonder If You Know…

…I Wonder If You Think About It…

…Once Upon A Time…

…In Your Wildest Dreams. …”

… … …

… …

…

I’ve Been A Huge Fan Of…

THE MOODY BLUES

…Most Of My Life.

This Was The First Of Their Songs I Latched-On-To…

…And I’ve Been Hooked Since.

This Song Is Special For Another Reason, Though.

It Was The Song I Dedicated To Someone VERY SPECIAL In My Life…

…Though I Haven’t Seen Said Someone In More Than A Decade, Now.

It Was The Song I Listened To Over And Over AND OVER Again After Realizing I’d Actually Fallen In Love With This Said Someone.

It Was A Hard And Difficult Time In My Life…

…As I’d Realized How Much I Loved This Person Just THREE (3) DAYS Before Heading Out-To-Sea For SIX (6) MONTHS!

We Wrote Letters Back&Forth…

…And Even Got To Speak On The Sat-Phone A Few Times.

But…

…Sadly…

…That Was Just Too Much Time Apart…

…And He Decided He Not Only DIDN’T Love Me…

…But He DID Love A Good Friend Of Mine.

So…

…For A While…

“YOUR WILDEST DREAMS”

…Ceased Being A Song That Made Me Smile…

…And Became An Instant “Tear-Jerker” Every Time I’d Hear It.

It Took A Little Longer Than I’d Expected To Get Over That.

But NOW…

…When I Hear This Song…

…I Tend To Think Only About The Love.

It’s An Amazing Song…

…And It’s Been With Me So So SO LONG.

I Suppose That’s One GREAT Thing About Good Music.

It’s Timeless.

People Come…

…People Go…

…The World Changes…

…But The MUSIC Remains A Constant.

It’s There For ALL-TIME.

I LOVE THIS SONG.

I LOVE THIS BAND.

I LOVE FEELING THE LOVE.

What More Could I Ask For, Ya Know?

EXACTLY!

Not. A. Thing.

(Not So) Random (’80s) Movie Mention: DEATH HUNT (1981)

Posted by youjivinmeturkey on

Well, My Peeps…

…I’ve Honestly Been Biding My Time On This One…

…Trying To Decide When The Moment Was Juuust Right To Bust Out With This Classic Favorite.

I Believe That THIS Is The Moment.

“DEATH HUNT” (1981)

I First Had The Privilege Of Seeing…

“DEATH HUNT”

…In The Mid-1980s.

It Was A Personal Favorite Of Paw’s (aka My Grandfather).

His Movie Icon/Hero Was ALWAYS…

CHARLES BRONSON

…And He Was A Big Fan Of…

LEE MARVIN

…Also.

Most Folks Only Remember BRONSON And MARVIN Working TOGETHER In The Film…

“THE DIRTY DOZEN” (1967)

…And We Both Honestly DID/DO Love That One, Too.

BUT…

“DEATH HUNT”

…Was…

…In OUR Opinions…

….Even BETTER.

Period.

The Quickie-Skinny On This Flick Is…

CHARLES BRONSON

…Is A Trapper…

…Living A Quiet, Lonely Existence…

…In 1930s Canada.

Eventually, He’s Forced To Kill A Man In Self-Defense.

So…

…A Canadian Mountie, Played By…

LEE MARVIN

…Is Sent Out To Bring In BRONSON.

Over The Next 90+ Minutes…

…We’re Treated To One Of The ALL-TIME Best Chase Films EVER!!!

Trust Me, My Peeps…

…If You’re Into Classic Action Flicks…

…Starring Some Of The Very BEST Tough-Guys In Film History…

…Then This One…

“DEATH HUNT”

…May Be A Perfect Addition To Your Collection.

It Also Stars…

CARL WEATHERS

ED LAUTER

…And…

ANGIE DICKINSON

!!!

And Just To Make It Even MORE Mention Worthy…

…It’s Directed By…

PETER HUNT

…A Man Who Seriously Knows What It Takes To Make A Quality ACTION Flick.

Yeah…

…With A Flick Like…

“DEATH HUNT”

…You Really Can’t Go Wrong.

I’d TOTALLY Call This One A TRUE FORGOTTEN CLASSIC…

…And EASILY Recommend It To ANYONE Who’s In Need Of A Classic-Action-Fix!

It Ain’t Gonna Kill Ya To Give It The Ole College Try. You Might Even Be VERY Pleasantly Surprised!

Enjoy Your Day, Kiddies.

I Sincerely Plan On Doing The Same.

Hell, I Might Even Kick-It-Back…

…Pop On MY Copy Of…

“DEATH HUNT”

…And Get Myself Lost In The Yukon Of The 1930s.

Sounds Like Fun To Me, Fo SHO!!!
