NP--All the Pretty Horses: Item!

[Richard Romeo]

Maybe we should be more angered that the Clinton administration wants to 
spend $7 billion on a missile defense system. If the US gets hit with 
nukes it's gonna be some schmeck with suitcase.  ain't gonna be no 
missile. just think what $7 billion could do for all the homeless, 
mentally ill, poor folk...shit
(Yesterday's Times had a blurb about electronic books--you can store 5 
novels in your pocket--it's called The e-Rocket or some such.  insert 
Pointsman's erection here hehe)
I'd like to see _Blood Meridian_ filmed--a bald Brando as the 
Judge--uhh, like men without war are like errand boys...keenau reeves as 
the Kid--fucked in jakes by big bad Marlon, probably Jack Nicholson as 
Glanton...and the members of the present Hollywood Squares crew as 
Glanton's gang...whoopies can sure cut a throat when she wants to...

Matt Damon is too fucking old to be play JG Cole.  Am I the only one who 
liked The Crossing much more?
