Interesting Movie/TV tid bits

Small Soprano like crime family idea, first introduced in the movie Rocky



Very few credit Sylvester Stallone to being one of the first to introduce the idea of a lower till Soprano like crime syndicate in the movie 'Rocky'.
But if you remember, in Rocky 1, Rocky was a collector for just such a lower till Philadelphia mob outfit.

And the above is a scene early in the movie where Rocky's boss chastises him for not 'breaking dudes thumb, like I told ya too'.

There's really a lot of 'firsts' in this movie, even today you can still pick things out.
The sign of a well written, performed, movie is a movie you can watch 30 plus years later, and the theme of the movie still seems just as relevant today.

Everyone has that underdog Rocky in them, just waiting for that moment to rise up, to be noticed. The theme to Rocky is an ageless one and will never not be relevant.

I do believe the actor who played 'Damion' in Damion III, was also the same actor who starred in Jurassic Park....I'll do a side by side comparison when time allows.



Damien 3



Jurassic Park

Same actor.

There's something depraved in that all horror movie victims seem to be claddly dressed 'white' women.

Seems every horror movie (at least in the West, Hollywood) is themed around a white woman.

Regardless of the Genre of horror, whether slasher, occult, demonic, mystery, thriller ect, seems all horror movies are themed around white women getting tore up, while claddly dressed, by villain.



I mean even movie posters depicting horror, 95% of the time have image of bloodied white woman or white female victim..



Seems everyone lives their horror fantasies through the 'white female'.

And it's actress is never fat or homely, but rather always looks like a model.

Obviously that's done for marketing reasons, this idea that a victim must always be 'soxy' is to lure whom?

And who writes and directs most of these sadistic slasher films?...white males?

Is there some kind of depraved lust involved in the psychi of man, or males, that like seeing women tore to shreds in films?.

I call it 'porror', that's a combination of light corn and horror, the two just seem to go together in 99% of horror movies made today.

Is that how writers or casting directors lure males to these movies?

How would people feel if victims were always younger 'twinkish' males, or older chubby black females or gay guys?

What types of audiences would that attract, if any, or have we all just been conditioned over the last 100 years of cinema to accept that on screen, only 'pretty white chicks' can be victims to monsters?

One thing for sure, and that is in real life, horror doesn't just go after white females who look like models.

Odd how the horror movie 'Amytiville horror' and 'Jaws' both took place in the same town or city.

Will Smiths character fed his dog vegetables in the movie 'I am Legend', was that a good thing for the dog I wonder?



Not sure if dogs, wolves, eat vegetables in the wild, like corn and peas and carrots.

But in this scene Will Smith's characters like 'Sam, you better eat your vegetables'.

Not really a movie 'tid bit' but I never liked the ending of 'Tombstone' when Doc Holiday and Ringo face off in a gun fight at end of movie.

For some reason I always wanted them both to make up and become friends.

Hate to see such good talent, skill, wasted like that, all just for ego.

Vulcan hand signal is really...



I learned last night, from 'Spock' himself (on older Star Trek documentary he host while alive), that he came up with the Vulcan hand sign from watching a Jewish cleansing ceremony as a hobbit, when he looked at Priests, even though wasn't suppose to.



Yes, the Vulcan hand sign, that Spock made so famous, is actually a hand gesture Orthidox 'Jews' have used for centuries to 'cleanse' the congregation of sin...or something like that...do your own research and you'll see what I mean.

Just a interesting fact.
