Did You Enjoy “HIGH NOON”? Do You Enjoy SCI-FI? GREAT! Then You Will LOVE “OUTLAND”!!!
- “OUTLAND” Was Released In 1981, And It Stars… … …SEAN CONNERY!!!
(TAGLINE: "ON JUPITER'S MOON HE'S THE ONLY LAW.")
HONESTLY, My Peeps…
…This Flick…
“OUTLAND“
…Is…
MY FAVE-FAVE SEAN CONNERY FLICK Of ALL-TIME!!!
.Period.
It Always Has Been.
And…
…It’s Very Likely To Always Be.
As My Headline States…
“OUTLAND“
…Really Is Like…
“HIGH NOON“
…Except It Takes Place…
…
…
…IN OUTER-SPACE!!!
O.M.G.
!!! !!! !!!
Exactly, My Peeps.
It’s WONDERFUL!
SEAN CONNERY
…Is…
“MARSHAL O’NEIL“
…The NEW Law In “Town”.
Only, The “Town” Is A CORPORATE-RUN-MINING-OPERATION On JUPITER’s MOON “IO”!!!
(I Can Tell You're Already Hooked Simply Based On The Possibilities!)
“MARSHAL O’NEIL“
…Takes Exception To Being Bossed-About By The Mining-Ops’ General Manager…
“SHEPPARD“
(Played Perfectly By PETER BOYLE)
…All The While He’s Trying To Figure-Out…
…WHY People Are Dying…
…And…
…WHY Are People Going Insane???
Soooo…
“MARSHAL O’NEIL“
…Enlists The Help Of…
“DR. LAZARUS“
(Played Equally Well By FRANCES STERNHAGEN)
…In His Investigations.
Come To Find-Out…
…Those Who Are Going Crazy And Offing Themselves AND Other Folks…
…Are ALL Taking A Powerful Drug That Does Make Them Work Harder And Faster…
…But It ALSO Eventually Causes Them To Go PSYCHO!
When…
“MARSHAL O’NEIL“
…Starts Puttin’ The Smack Down…
“SHEPPARD“
…Calls In The HIRED-GUNS To Stop The Marshal Before He Ruins Their Whole Operation!!!
And…
…Of Course…
…The People Of The “Town” Are All Too Cowardly To Step-In And Help The Marshal.
!!! !!!
It’s A HELLUVA FLICK, My Peeps!!!
And I DO Refer To It As A TOTALLY FORGOTTEN CLASSIC.
.Period.
Hell…
…Most Folks Don’t Even Know This One Exists.
BUT…
…That’s Why I’M Here!!!
Trust Me, Kiddies…
…If You Haven’t Seen…
“OUTLAND“
…And You’re Into The Plot-Line I’ve Just Lightly Laid Out…
…And You LOVE’YA Some…
SEAN CONNERY
(And Who Doesn't Love Themselves Some SEAN CONNERY!!!)
…Then It COULD BE The Proverbial Diamond-In-The-Rough For Ya.
Fo SHO Fo SHO, My Peeps!!!
Do You Trust Me???
GREAT!!!
I Simply KNEW YOU DID!!!
!!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!
The Song Stuck In My Head??? “I Should Have Learned This Lesson Long Ago… …That Friends And Lovers Always Come And Go…” –QUARTERFLASH’s “FIND ANOTHER FOOL” (1981)
“FIND ANOTHER FOOL” Is A Hot HOT Jam From QUARTERFLASH‘s Self-Titled 1981 Debut Album !!!
*

///\\\
“…Now You Claim…
…That Everything‘s Okay…
…Well, I‘ve Got Just One Thing To Say…
…Why Don‘t You…
…Find Another…
((Find Another!))
…FIND ANOTHER FOOL To Love You…
…Find Another…
((Find Another!))
…FIND ANOTHER FOOL To Love You…
…Find Another…
…Find Another…
…FIND ANOTHER FOOL To Love You…
…Too Love You…
…Find Another. …”
\\\///
***

Alright, My Peeps…
…Let Me Quickly Say, I Don’t Just Listen To This Song…
“FIND ANOTHER FOOL“
by QUARTERFLASH
…When Someone Has Treated Me Foolishly And I Wanna Vent.
No.
I Also Listen To This Song When I’m Dwelling Upon MY Foolishness.
We’ve All Been Foolish In Matters Of Love At One Point Or Another.
Most Especially In Matters Of Love, Honestly.
In Fact…
…It’s In Matters Of Love Where I’ve Suffered Through Many MANY Bad Experiences In My 30’ish’ish Years.
And, I’ve Done So ((ALMOST)) Totally Because Of MY Personal Foolishness.
Then Again, Isn’t That Generally How It Goes?
Is That How It Always Goes For You?
How About You??
And You, There, In The Back???
Yes, And YOU, Also?!?!?
Yeah.
That’s Kinda What I’d Figured.
Our Favorite Game As Human-Being’s Is LOVE.
Always Has Been.
Some Will Quip, “It‘s Not A Game!”
To Those People, I Say “Good On Ya.”
I Also Say, “If You Don‘t Think It’s A Game, Then You‘ve Likely Been Hurt, Or Have Hurt Someone Else, While Playing And You Are/Were Pissed About It.”
To Be Honest, My Peeps, I Don’t Know What Else To Call LOVE.
It’s Always Felt Like A Game.
It Has Losers.
It Has Winners.
It Has First Time Players.
It Has Umpteenth Time Players.
It Has Unskilled Players.
It Has Highly Skilled Players.
It Has The Sheer Bliss Of A Solid Victory.
It Has The Horrid Dejection Of A Terrible Loss.
In Short…
…If It Ain’t A Game…
…What Is It?!?
That’s A Question I Sincerely Struggle With.
Honestly, As I Said, I Don’t Know What Else To Call It.
I Was Hoping To Get A Hand From Y’all, In That Regard.
That’s What We’re Here For, Correct?!
A Learning Experience.
I Know That’s A Big Reason I’m Here.
It’s Not The Only Reason, But It’s An Important One.
Fo Sho???
FO SHO!!!
😉 😀
LOVE, Whether A Thought OR A Feeling, Perpetuates Foolishness.
We Do So Many Foolish Things Whilst Playing Along.
We Do Things.
Things We Either WANT Or DON’T WANT To Do, All Because Of What We Feel, Or Think We Feel, For Someone, Or Something, Else.
Y’all Know I’m Not Slippin’ You Any Jive.
I’m Callin’ It Like It Is.
The Problem With This Wondrous, Beautiful, Vile, Evil, Amazing Thing We Call Love Is This:
“How Do We Know When We‘re Playing, And How Do We Know When We‘re Being Played???”
Yeah.
Exactly My Point, My Peeps.
Honestly, You Don’t Know.
You Don’t Know Until Something Eventful Happens.
“He Said YES!” 😀
“He Said NO!” 😦
“He Said MAYBE SO!” 😐
Any Way It Goes, You Never Know Until Something Happens.
You Never Know Until The Proof Is There.
You Never Know Until It’s Tangible.
And, Even Then, Do You Really Know?
You Think You Do.
Is That Enough?
Sometimes, That Has To Be Enough.
Sometimes, That’s All We Really Have.
Right???
RIGHT!!!
My Advice?
You Kids Just Be Good.
Play Nice.
Try Not To Hurt Anyone, Especially Yourself.
Try Not To Do Anything Toooooooooo Foolish, Ya Hear Me?!?
Now, Go Get ‘Em, Tiger!!!
Good Game… …Good Game.
What’s On NOW!?!: “FOR YOUR EYES ONLY” (1981) Starring ROGER MOORE As JAMES BOND 007!!!
The Best Of The Best Of The Bunch.
That’s How I Categorize This Flick…
“FOR YOUR EYES ONLY“
(1981)
…Starring…
ROGER MOORE
…As…
JAMES BOND – 007
…In What Would Be His Fifth BOND Adventure.
They Say The Third Time’s The Charm…
…And For ROGER…
…The Third Time Was More Of A Staple-Point In The World That Is JAMES BOND.
His Third Adventure…
“THE SPY WHO LOVED ME“
(1977)
…Really Cemented ROGER As BOND.
It Was His Best To Date…
…And The Best BOND Adventure Up To That Point.
I Loved It.
And Then I Saw This One…
“FOR YOUR EYES ONLY“
…And I Was Totally Sold.
It Is…
…By Far Far FAR…
…The Best BOND Of Them All.
At Least…
…In This Blogger’s Humble Opinion.
I Honestly Don’t Know What All To Say Here.
I’ve Been In A Decent Mood…
…I’ve Just Felt Like Arse.
What More Can Be Said?
I’m Just In Pure BOND Mode, Today.
I Have All Of His Adventures On The DVD…
…But Only A Few On The Blu-ray.
I Only Purchased The Ones I Love The Most…
…And That Were Available At The Time.
Mainly…
…Those Available Were…
PIERCE BROSNAN
…BOND Adventures…
…Of Which Only One…
“GOLDENEYE“
(1995)
…Is On My Target List.
I Simply Love…
“GOLDENEYE“
…Though That’s The Only BROSNAN Flick I Can Honestly Say That About.
Anyway…
…I’m Going To Get Back To Watching…
“FOR YOUR EYES ONLY“
…And Once It’s Over, I’m Going To Watch…
“THUNDERBALL“
(1965)
…Which Is My Fave Fave From…
SEAN CONNERY
!!! !!!
I Know Everyone Says…
“GOLDFINGER“
(1964)
…Is The Very Best, Especially Of The CONNERY Flicks.
BUT…
…I Tend To Disagree.
(Of Course)
To ME…
“THUNDERBALL“
…Is Another Of Those That Is By Far Far FAR The Best Of The Best Of The Bunch.
I LOVE Me Some…
SEAN CONNERY
…And…
“THUNDERBALL“
…Is My Utmost Favorite!!!
ANYWAY…
…’Tis Time For Me To Kick-It-Back And Enjoy My Flicks.
These Flicks Are GREAT…
…But Having Them On The Blu-ray Is EVEN BETTER!!!
So It’s Time To Enjoy, My Peeps.
Time To Enjoy, Indeed!!!
😀 😉 😀
DEPECHE MODE’s “PHOTOGRAPHIC” (1981): A Song So Addictive I’m Already Hurtin’ For Another Dose!
Alright…
…I’ll Totally Level With Y’all, My Peeps…
“PHOTOGRAPHIC“
by DEPECHE MODE
…Is ONE SONG Where The Lyrics Are Actually The Secondary Consideration To Me.
I Know, I Know…
…It Doesn’t Happen Very Often.
Usually, The Lyrics Are THE Major Point Of It All For Me.
But Not This Time.
However…
…I Do Truly Enjoy The Lyrics.
A Sample, You Ask?
Okie Dokie.
🙂
*** *** ***
“A White House…
…A White Room…
…The Program Of Today…
…Lights On…
…Switch On…
…Your Eyes Are Far Away…“
…
“…The Map Represents You…
…And The Tape Is Your Voice…
…Follow All Along, You…
…’Til You Recognize The Choice…“
…
“…I Take Pictures…
…Photographic Pictures…“
…
“…Bright Light…
…Dark Room…
…Bright Light…
…Dark Room…“

The Main Focus Of This Song…
…Honestly…
…Is The PULSING…
…DRIVING…
…UNRELENTING INFECTIOUSNESS Of THE BEAT.
Period.
ESPECIALLY When You’re Listening To The LIVE Version Of The Song…
…Which Is Exactly What I’m Doing As I Type This.
The STUDIO Version Is BRILLIANT.
The LIVE Version Simply KICKS.
And It Doesn’t Just KICK…
…It KICKS HARD!
😀 😀
“PHOTOGRAPHIC“
…Was Originally Released In 1981 On The Debut Album Of…
DEPECHE MODE
…Called…
“SPEAK & SPELL“
…And It’s Been A Fan-Favorite Since.
Alright…
…Time For MORE Leveling, My Peeps.
For Those Of You Who Know Anything About…
DEPECHE MODE
…Then You Know Their First Hit Song Was…
“JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH“
…Which Also Debuted On The Same Album.
I’ll Say It Right Now…
…Just So We’re All Very VERY Clear…
“JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH“
…Is A Truly Fun Song, And I Do Enjoy It.
BUT…
…It Doesn’t Hold A Candle To…
“PHOTOGRAPHIC“
…In Any Way Whatsoever.
Period.
Needless To Say…
…I’ve Been Going Back-And-Forth All Night Long Between The STUDIO And LIVE Versions.
Y’all Know Me And My Love Of The Musical Stylings Of…
DEPECHE MODE
…Which Is Why I’m Very Sure You’ll Let Me Gust About This One As Much As I Want.
Right?!
RIGHT!!!
(*teehehe*)
Okay Then…
…I WILL!!!
Ya Know, Since Y’all Are Being So Kind.
😉
I’m Very Sure The Song…
“PHOTOGRAPHIC“
…Is Likely On A Metric-Ass-Ton Of Personal “TOP 10 DEPECHE MODE Songs” Lists.
It Really Is THAT Good, My Peeps.
If You’re A Newcomer To The World That Is…
DEPECHE MODE
…And You’re Really Serious About Really Checking Them Out And Are Really Looking For A Place To Begin The Journey…
“PHOTOGRAPHIC“
…Would Be My FIRST Recommendation.
Many May Tell You To Start With…
“JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH“
…But I’d Balk On That.
It Wasn’t Their First Great Song.
It Was Just Their First Commercially Successful Song.
There’s A BIG DIFF, My Peeps.
A BIG DIFF, Indeed.
Honestly Honestly, My Peeps…
…I’d Take…
“PHOTOGRAPHIC“
…Over…
“JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH“
…Any Day…
…And Then I’d Ask For A Second Helping.
😉
If You’re Even Just A LITTLE BIT CURIOUS…
…I Say Pull-The-Trigger And Give…
“PHOTOGRAPHIC“
…The Ole College-Try.
I Promise, My Peeps, You (likely) Will Not Be Disappointed.
SEE, My Peeps…
…Now You’re CURIOUS!
HA!
MISSION: ACCOMPLISHED
!!!
😀 😀 😀
(Totally Not) Random (Blu-ray) Movie Mention: “DAS BOOT” (1981)
So, My Peeps…
…Just What Is My All-Time-Favorite FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM??
Well…
…That’s Actually A Rather Easy Choice.
While I’ve Seen Dozens And Dozens Of Foreign Language Flicks In My Day…
…Not One Has Had An Impact On My Life/World More Than…
“DAS BOOT“
(1981)
…Directed By…
WOLFGANG PETERSEN
…And Starring…
JÜRGEN PROCHNOW
!!! !!! !!!
😀
Thus Far…
“DAS BOOT“
…Is (in my opinion) The Crown Jewel Of My Blu-ray Collection.
This DIRECTOR’S CUT Is Simply…
…Honestly…
…BREATHTAKING.
.Period.
The Visuals Are So Amazingly Clear.
The Sound Quality Is Second To None.
You Sincerely FEEL Like You’re A Member Of The Crew.
The Blu-ray Transfer Is So Crisp.
You See Everything…
…From The Trickles Of Water Seeping In…
…To The Bolts In Walls.
You See Everything…
…And That’s Just The Power Of The Blu-ray.
The Film Itself Is The Very BEST Of Its Type.
You’ve Seen Other Submarine Flicks.
“THE ENEMY BELOW“
(1957)
…Or…
“THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER“
(1990)
…Or…
“CRIMSON TIDE“
(1995)
…Etc Etc…
…All Of Which Are Truly Wonderful Flicks And Personal Favorites, Yes Yes…
…But They’re NOT…
“DAS BOOT“
…Which I Believe To Be The Very BEST Submarine/Naval Flick In The History Of World Cinema.
.Period Period.
Saying That Usually Pisses Some Folks Off.
How Could I Take That German Flick Over All The Others?!?
It’s Simple, My Peeps.
“DAS BOOT“
…Is The Most HONEST…
…The Most EXHILARATING…
…The Most FINELY-CRAFTED Film Of Its Genera.
I Know Some Peeps Simply CANNOT Stand To Read Their Flicks As They Attempt To Watch Them…
…But This Is No Issue With Me.
You Almost Know What They’re Saying Anyway, Without Having To Do The Reading.
Being Ex-Navy, Myself, I Was Totally On-Board With This One.
(Pun Totally Intended, By The Way.)
You Can Tell Director WOLFGANG PETERSEN Did Everything He Could To Make This One As Real As Possible.
He Wanted To Make You Feel Like You Really Were On-Board A German U-Boat During The Height Of WORLD WAR II.
The Characters Are Honest And True…
…As Are The Actors Portraying Said Characters.
TRUST ME, My Peeps…
…If History…
…If War…
…If The Military…
…If The Navy…
…If Submarines…
…If Amazing Film-Making…
…If Brilliant Acting…
…If Realism…
…Are Any Or All Things You’re Interested In, Or What You Seek-Out In Your Flicks…
…Yeah…
…You’d Be Hard-Pressed To Find One Better Than…
“DAS BOOT“
.Period Period Period.
It’s A Flick I Sincerely LOVE…
…And The DIRECTOR’S CUT On The Blu-ray Is Wonderfully Wonderful.
It’s EPIC, To Say The Very Least…
…But EPIC Is The Proper Word To Use In This Instance.
Fo SHO Fo SHO, Kiddies!!!
😀
(Not Really) Random (Blu-ray) Movie Mention: “EXCALIBUR” (1981)
Well, Kids…
…Since Sleep Is Eluding My Grasp Once Again…
…I Decided To Pop-On Another Of My New Blu-ray Flicks.
This Time ’round It’s…
“EXCALIBUR“
(1981)
…Directed By…
JOHN BOORMAN
…And Starring…
NIGEL TERRY
&
HELEN MIRREN
&
NICOL WILLIAMSON
&
NICHOLAS CLAY
&
PATRICK STEWART
&
GABRIEL BYRNE
…And…
LIAM NEESON
!!! !!! !!!
!!! !!!
!!!
You Already Know Some Of The Story, Kids.
Young “ARTHUR” (NIGEL TERRY) Removes The Sword (EXCALIBUR) From The Stone…
…And On That Day, He Becomes KING!
The Film Chronicles The Life Of “ARTHUR”…
…From His Birth…
…To His Pseudo-Adoption By “MERLIN The WIZARD” (NICOL WILLIAMSON)…
…To The Removal Of The Sword From The Stone And His Becoming “KING ARTHUR”…
…To The Knights Of The Round Table…
…To “LANCELOT” & “GUENEVERE” And Their Forbidden Love Affair…
…To The Search For The Holy Grail…
…Etc Etc Etc.
The Film Itself Is Almost Breathtaking, It’s So Damned Realistic.
It’s Loaded With Lush Visuals…
…Showing-Off Its Attempt At Being THE Quintessential “KING ARTHUR” Epic.
There Have Been Many Flicks Made About The Story Of “KING ARTHUR”…
…But None Have Bothered To Capture So Well The ENTIRE STORY…
…From Beginning To End…
…In Just One Epic Flick.
“EXCALIBUR“
…Does Its Best To Do Exactly That.
😀
This 30TH Anniversary Edition On The Blu-ray Is Lusciously Gorgeous.
I Can Honestly Say…
“EXCALIBUR“
…Is One Of THE BEST Blu-ray Transfers I’ve Yet Seen.
Trust Me, My Peeps, That’s A TRUE Compliment.
I Don’t Know How Many Times I’ve Seen…
“EXCALIBUR“
…Though I’d Wager It’s More Than A Dozen.
But I’ve NEVER Seen It Quite Like This.
It Is Beautiful In Its Grittiness.
The Battle Scenes Are Amazing.
There Was No Expense Spared In Terms Of The Costumes And Set-Pieces.
Wonderful.
Simply Wonderful.
😀
If You’re Like Me…
…And Love A Classic Story…
…Told With True Passion By Its Filmmakers…
…From The Director…
…To The Actors…
…To The Art-Department…
…To The Special-Effects Team…
…Then I Can EASILY Recommend You Check-Out…
“EXCALIBUR“
!!! !!!
Fo SHO, My Peeps!
Fo SHO, Indeed!
😉
😀
I Sure Hope Some Of Y’all Got Some Sleep.
Lord Knows I Didn’t, But What’Ya’Gonna’Do, Ya Know?!
Why Waste Time Trying To Sleep When You Know It’s Not Going To Happen?!
EXACTLY!
I Was Thinking The Same Thing, Kiddies.
When In Doubt, BLOG.
When You Can’t Sleep, And Trying Isn’t Helping Matters, BLOG.
Sooo…
…That’s What I’m Doin’!!!
What’s YOUR Excuse For Being On The Damned Computer This Late/Early?!?
You Know Mine.
I Wanna Know Yours.
‘Tis Only Fair, My Peeps.
‘Tis Only Fair, Indeed.
😉
Catch Ya Later, Kids.
🙂 😀 🙂
“THE BEST” -Vs- “MY FAVORITE”: Pilot Episode
Alright, My Peeps…
…This Is A Subject I’ve Touched On Many Times In My Daily Rambles.
Some People Sincerely Do Not Understand The Concept Of…
“THE BEST“
–Vs–
“MY FAVORITE“
…Since They Don’t Understand How Someone’s Favorite Something Isn’t Also The Best Of Whatever It May Be.
In This Series…
…I’ll Be Discussing Different Films…
…Songs…
…Albums…
…Books…
…Whatever I Can Think Of…
…To Showcase The Point That…
“THE BEST“
…Doesn’t Have To Be…
“MY FAVORITE“
.Period.
In Today’s Episode…
…I’ll Be Taking On TWO (2) Exceptionally Popular Film Franchises…
“INDIANA JONES“
&
“STAR WARS“
😀
Shall We Begin?!
LETS!!!
*** *** *** *** ***
*** *** ***
***
First-Up…
“INDIANA JONES“
🙂
I’m Beginning Here As This One Is The Hardest To Sell Others On.
Now…
…Which “INDIANA JONES” Film Is Most Widely Accepted AND Agreed Upon As Being…
“THE BEST“
???
Well…
…That’s A Simple One.
“RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK“
…Is By FAR Considered To Be…
“THE BEST“
…Of The Entire “INDIANA JONES” Spectrum.
.Period.
Do I Have A Problem With That?
Nope.
WHY?
Because I Accept The Fact That…
“RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK“
…Is…
“THE BEST“
…For That Series Of Films.
HOWEVER…
…Is It…
“MY FAVORITE“
???
???
Honestly…
…NOPE.
So What Is?!
Well…
“INDIANA JONES And THE TEMPLE Of DOOM“
…Has Always Been…
…And Will Always Be…
“MY FAVORITE“
.Period.
To ME…
…It’s The Darkest Chapter In The “INDIANA JONES” Saga…
…And It’s Honestly The Most FUN Flick Of The Bunch.
I Remember Seeing It As A Child And Becoming An Instant Convert.
I Loved…
“RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK“
…But I Loved Loved LOVED…
“INDIANA JONES And THE TEMPLE Of DOOM“
…Even More So.
Sue Me.
I Like What I Like…
…And I Love What I Love.
😉
*** *** *** *** ***
*** *** ***
***
Next Up…
“STAR WARS“
😀
This Is Another That’s Been A Hard Sell On Other Folks.
When It Comes To The “STAR WARS” Universe…
…People Always Seem Torn.
There’s The School That Says…
“STAR WARS: Episode IV: A NEW HOPE“
…Is The Best.
And Then There Are Those Whom Say…
“STAR WARS: Episode V: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK“
…Is The Best.
I Tend To Agree With The Latter.
I’m Of A Mind That Says…
“STAR WARS: Episode V: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK“
…Is Honestly…
“THE BEST“
…From THAT Saga Of Motion Pictures.
Nothing Wrong With That.
BUT…
…Is…
“STAR WARS: Episode V: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK“
“MY FAVORITE“
???
???
Again…
…NOPE.
What Is?!
“STAR WARS: Episode VI: RETURN Of THE JEDI“
…That’s What!!!
😀
Again…
…To ME…
“STAR WARS: Episode VI: RETURN Of THE JEDI“
…Falls Into That Realm Of…
…Always Has Been…
…Always Will Be…
“MY FAVORITE“
.Period.
It’s The First Film I Honestly Remember Seeing In The Theater…
(Though "E.T." Was Actually The First Film I Saw In The Theater, I Just Don't Remember That Viewing Since I Was Only 2-Years-Old hehehe)
…And I Was Totally Blown Away!
At 3-Years-Old…
…I’d Never Seen Anything Like It.
And THAT MEMORY Has Stuck With Me MY ENTIRE LIFE.
It Became My Favorite In 1983…
…And It’s Remained My Favorite To This Day.
When I Need Something FUN And UPLIFTING…
…It’s Hard For Me To Go Wrong With…
STAR WARS: Episode VI: RETURN Of THE JEDI“
I Get A Flood Of Old Memories Floating To The Surface Each AND Every Time I See It.
I Get Them Thar Goose-Pimples When I Watch It.
The Moment I Hear The Words…
“IT’S A TRAP!“
…I Nearly Keel Over With Grand Excitement!
“STAR WARS: Episode VI: RETURN Of THE JEDI“
…Is The Most FUN Flick Of Them All!
It Makes Me Feel Like A Kid Again…
…And Those Memories…
…To ME…
…Are ABSOLUTELY…
…POSITIVELY…
…WITHOUT A DOUBT…
…PRICELESS.
.Period.
*** *** *** *** ***
*** *** ***
***
Some Things Stick With Us Forever…
…And Ever…
…And Ever And Ever And Ever.
Y’all Know That.
You’re Human.
You Understand The Power Of The Mind.
You Know How It Works Well Enough To Know How That Goes.
Your “FAVORITE” Anything Does NOT Always Jive With What Everyone Else Considers “THE BEST” Or “THE WORST” Or “THE MOST FUN” Or “THE LEAST FUN”…
…Etc Etc Etc.
We’re All Our Own People.
We Have The Power To BOTH Agree AND Disagree.
That’s Part Of The Human Experience.
That’s Part Of Life.
Wouldn’t Y’all Tend To Agree?!
GREAT!!
I KNEW YOU WOULD!!!

The Song Stuck In My Head: “HARDEN MY HEART” by QUARTERFLASH (1981)
“HARDEN MY HEART” Is The Jam To End All Jams From The Band QUARTERFLASH
…
“…All Of My Life…
…I’ve Been Waitin’ In The Rain…
…I’ve Been Waitin’ For A Feeling…
…That Never, Ever Came…
…It Feels So Close…
…But Always Disappears. …“
…
“…Darlin’, In Your Wildest Dreams…
…You Never Had A Clue…
…But It’s Time You Got The News. …“
…
“…I’m Gonna HARDEN MY HEART…
…I’m Gonna Swallow My Tears…
…I’m Gonna Turn And Leave You Here. …“
… … … … …
… … … …
… … …
Thanks To My Friend “Fister Roboto“ And…
—> …This —>{http://lefthandhorror.com/2012/07/16/fisters-decidedly-unmetal-80s-pool-jams/ }<— This… <—
…I’m Now Into NO-HOLDS-BARRED…
QUARTERFLASH
…MODE!!!
Like, For Realz, Kids!!!
And…
QUARTERFLASH
…Has Now Made A Heroic Return To My MP3PLAYER!!!
The Memory Was A Touch Hazy In Regard To Most Of Their Album…
…Though I Clearly Remember…
“FIND ANOTHER FOOL“
…And…
“VALERIE“
…AAAND…
“CRUISIN’ WITH THE DEUCE“
…Along With The Classic Super-Jam…
“HARDEN MY HEART“
!!! !!!! !!!
QUARTERFLASH
…Is One Of Those Bands That Seem To Churn-Up Good Feelings…
…Regardless Of When I’m Listening To Them…
…And Regardless Of Which Song Is Actually Playing.
Must Be That Hot Hot HOT ’80s SAX!!!
“HARDEN MY HEART“
…Was Their Most Popular Jam…
…And Rightly So.
It’s An Amazing Song.
So Amazing…
…In Fact…
…It’s Been Playing About In My Brain Since Its Rediscovery The Other Day.
The Only Song From…
QUARTERFLASH
…I’d Say Could Come Close To Rivaling…
“HARDEN MY HEART“
…Would Be The Wonderful Wonderful Jam…
“FIND ANOTHER FOOL“
…Which I’m Already Thinking About Blogging About!
(teehehe)
😉
Listening To…
QUARTERFLASH
…Reminds Me A Bundle Of My Childhood.
My Father Simply LOVED Them.
So Much So, It Was One Of The Very First CD’s He Purchased During The 1980s.
I Keep Trying To Tell Folks That…
…When It Comes To Music…
…I Was Raised Right.
And I Sincerely Believe That Is So.
Having A Family That Truly Considered Quality Music To Be An Essential Of Daily Living…
…I’ve Always Considered Myself Very Lucky.
While Most Kids Were Trying To Rebel From The Music Of Their Parents…
…I Chose To Embrace It.
Granted…
…That Decision DID Net Me More Detractors Than Supporters…
…But I Really Don’t Give A Rip.
I Didn’t Give One Then…
…And I Sure As Can Be Don’t Give One Now.
I Like What I Like.
Just Like You…
…And You…
…And Even You In The Back.
Period.
What More Is There To Be Said, My Peeps?
Not Much, Eh?
Good.
😀
"You Jivin' Me, Turkey?"
