QUOTE OF THE DAY

Little Bill Daggett: You’d be William Munny out of Missouri. Killer of women and children.

Will Munny: That’s right. I’ve killed women and children. I’ve killed just about everything that walks or crawled at one time or another. And I’m here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you did to Ned.

Little Bill Daggett: I don’t deserve this… to die like this. I was building a house.

Will Munny: Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it.

[aims gun]

Little Bill Daggett: I’ll see you in hell, William Munny.

Will Munny: Yeah.

[fires]

It’s worth dinking around on youtube to find the Richard Harris interview about how he approached his part of English Bob and what Eastwood was like as a director.

Will Munny: It’s a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he’s got and all he’s ever gonna have.

Great movie. Too bad Eastwood is devoted to government propaganda in his latest movies.

“Religion has no monopoly on determinism or dogma. A televangelist or president blessing troops in the name of god somehow is reminiscent of a neo-Darwinist laying the blame for genocides on irrational religion, smugly sure of being inured from the same while claiming a kind of amoral immortality for the gene, that veritable Platonic abstraction, that chemical instantiation of eternal life going on indefinitely as the real world of life, which it produces, dies around it. Compare the spokesman for god & science on The Way Things Are with Charles Darwin’s line, which, however, seemed to frighten him so much that he confined it to his private notebook: “Thought, however unintelligible it may be, seems as much a function of organ as bile of liver. This view should teach one profound humility, no one deserves credit for anything. Nor ought one to blame others.”

The difference I am trying to remark (& I could be off here) is that the former tries to persuade, whereas the latter stays with the question. For Darwin, it seems not a matter of publicity or acclaim but of knowledge, always provisional. Darwin displays the courage not of his convictions but to challenge those convictions in the light both of fact & of more coherent theories. This is science, & it is also philosophy.” ~ Dorion Sagan, “Cosmic Aprrentice”

“a function of organ as bile of liver.”

or as willie wordsmith would say.

” But i am pigeon- livered and lack gall to make oppression bitter, or ere this i should have fatted all the region kites with this slave’s offal.”

Or as Popeye would say…you know the words.

Saw first two seasons of “Fortitude” recently. Always have wanted to check out Iceland. “Ingrid” is played by Mia Jexen, a Dane, looks a lot like a look I liked, an old gf who had that –son suffix tacked onto her surname, & one I’d take over Hamlet any time.

“Can you think of any human being that would for any reason not put his name on Hamlet?” Or his hands on Mia (if she was amenable)?
