Rookertti Eepertin Parhaita osa 4

 

 

 

Conan the Barbarian
"The child is chained to the Wheel of Pain, where he goes around in circles for years, a metaphor for grade school."

 

 

 

 

  Death Wish 3 

 "One of the hypocrisies practiced by the Death Wish movies is that they ignore racial tension in big cities. In their horrible new world, all of the gangs are integrated, so that the movies can’t be called racist. I guess it’s supposed to be heartwarming to see whites, blacks and Latinos working side by side to rape, pillage and murder. 
 “Death Wish 3” could have had Bronson protecting black citizens against black gang violence. That would reflect the reality of most big cities, but it would not, of course, have been as commercial."

 

 

 

 

 

 Raw Deal

 "You want to see guys with muscles shooting machineguns at guys without muscles? These are the movies for you. You have more than muscles between your ears? Try something else."

 

 

 

 

 Tron

 "Video gamesmen race each other at blinding speed, hurtling up and down computer grids while the movie shakes with the overkill of Dolby stereo (justified, for once)"

 

 

 

 

 

  History of the World, Part 1 

"Between the occasional good laughs, we’re a little embarrassed that the movie is so dumb and predictable. God knows Mel Brooks is straining for yuks up there on the screen, but he’s like the life of the party who still has the lampshade on his head when everybody else is ready to go home."

Rookertti Eepertin Parhaita osa 3

  

Battle for the Planet of the Apes
“Battle” looks like the last gap of a dying series, a movie made simply to wring the dollars out of any remaining ape fans. To a degree, that’s also the case with the new (and ninth) James Bond movie, “Live and Let Die.” But at least with that one, some attempt was made to reproduce the technical gimmicks and wry eroticism of the earlier films; in “Battle,” there’s simply no reason at all for going. Anyone who hasn’t had enough apes after the first four in the series has probably, by now, gone ape all by himself."

 

 

 

Any Which Way You Can
"Where else, in the space of 115 minutes, can you find a country & western road picture with two fights, a bald motorcycle gang, the Mafia, a love story, a pickup truck, a tow truck, Fats Domino, a foul-mouthed octogenarian, an oversexed orangutan and a contest for the bare knuckle championship of the world?

 The movie seems designed as a free-association exercise involving all of the above elements, in no particular order. That gives it a certain clarity of form. It opens, for example, with a bare-knuckle fight between Eastwood and someone else (Who else? Doesn’t matter). While Eastwood is slugging it out, his highly intelligent orangutan, Clyde, is relieving himself in the front seat of a state police car. And somehow we know-never mind how, we just know-that one of the reoccurring themes of this movie is going to be Orangutan Crap In Squad Cars. We are correct. It’s that kind of movie."

Feeniks käy sinisellä liekillä

 

 

 

Missä tuli asuu, on vain kipinä.
Kiirastuli ei ota palaakseen,

ja feeniks käy sinisellä liekillä.

Joku kirjoittaa suurista vallankumouksista. Kukaan ei tiedä paljon. Kaikki haluavat jotakin. Mutta paljon asioita tapahtuu, ja sitten hetken tullen näemme, miten paljon kaikki yhdessä osaavat, kun vartiopaikat miehitetään elävin miehin.

Tiedämme teidän tahtovan paljon ja uskovan paljon. Mutta mitä te tiedätte? Mitä te osaatte?

Teidän verkanne on siistiä ja liikkeenne ja eleenne valmisteltuja ja huoliteltuja.

Se mitä teette, on vain palanen länsimaiden historian illankoiton väritöntä murhenäytelmää.

Autoimmuunisairaan viimeinen kuolon korahdus. Palokunta sammuttamassa  jo palanutta taloa.

Ellette ala tekemään asioita käytännössä nyt, eurooppa on hävinnyt, tiedätte sen itsekin, ja sopertelunne on vain surullista itsekieltämisen sinfoniaa.
