Scheider was terrific in lots of roles, but those boat scenes in Jaws
were just wonderful.

Jaws. Now THAT'S a very refined, classy, cultured, sophisticated movie.

A quick search of your archived posts reveals several movies that you hold
in high regard. None of these movies could be classified as refined, classy,
cultured, etc- and all of them are fiction.

He was 75? I liked him in Jaws and any number of other productions he
appeared in.
May he rest in peace!

He was in a lot of movies that were pretty good or better because of his
presence. I thought his best was ""All That Jazz," Bob Fosse's film. He
also had significant roles in "The French Connection," "2010," "The
Russia House," "Naked Lunch." I really liked him in "Jaws," as the
police chief who didn't like the water.

Greetings from The Future!!

Howdy Granpaw - how ya'll be?

Just a quick note: Bet the farm on BET THE FARM in the 2008 Kentucky
Derby. It's the basis of the family fortune.
I would do that, but I don't have a farm.
Well, you must have something because that's what the family fortune
was based on.
The family fortune is based upon screwing the little guy. Beating down
the humbled masses, taking from the poor to give to me, uses the poor
and then tossing them out in the gutter. You know typical righteous
righty stuff.

If you really were from the future, you would know that.
Yes - we are aware of that.

Which is why we are ashamed of you and want to change the viewpoint of
our family from the perspective of historical context.

If you refuse to bet the farm on BET THE FARM in this effort to change
historical context, then I guess we'll just have to...um...terminate
with extreme prejudice.
Here I am, give it your best try. I really don't care if I wipe out the
future, after all, I am a righteous righty. Now if you bump me off, you
will not exist. Now if I bump you off, I really won't care, you are
just the future of America.

Damn you people in the future must be drinking way too much kool-aid.
You are beginning to sound as stupid as the lame liberals.

Ah - I see you have no knowledge of the Fritz Lieber Time Paradox.

Simply put, nothing in the past will change future reality because the
future exists and the past doesn't.

Are you saying the universe is contracting instead of expanding?


If so, OOOOHHHHHHH ****

Because if Harry wouldn't lie, and try to make people here think he's
something he's not, all would be good. Anything anyone does as a
passtime, anything anyone does for a living, ANYTHING, Harry claims to
have better, be better at, or if that fails, he'll claim to not want
to do that because it's so far beneath his high cultural standings.
Even music.

.. first 1/2 was great
acting and some thought. Last 1/2 was both weird and no real conclusion.
How it gets critical acclaim as one of the best movies of the year is
either
because the rest of the crop is really bad, or there are different
criteria
used by the professional critics.


Sounds kind of like you're describing the 2008 Presidential race,
doesn't it...?

Not sure the first 1/2 has been any good either.
