i'm old!

no politics today. (i can hear the distant cheers.) yes, bush nominated john roberts, a pawn of the corporations and jesus freaks, to the supreme court; yes roe vs. wade will be overturned and we're all fucked, but whom did you expect him to nominate? howard zinn?

last night i watched taxi driver for the first time in long time. what a great movie. i'm so glad my wife rented it, since i probably wouldn't have. i like 'everybody loves raymond', so it's kind of hard not to see 'wizard' (peter boyle) as 'frank'.

and man, did it make me feel old to see de niro a lot younger than i am now, 'frank' as a middle aged guy and not a grandpa. jodie foster was a pre-teen kid and sybill shepherd was just beyond hot!

if you haven't seen it for a while i highly recommend you rent it and watch it again. the new collector's edition dvd also has some great extras.

here's great quote:

"Listen, you fuckers, you screwheads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the cunts, the dogs, the filth, the shit. Here is a man who stood up."

ok, all this non-angry talk is making me woozy. tomorrow back to politics and anger. :)
