The Greatest Love Story and Scene EVER!!!


I think this scene from Bram Stoker's Dracula wins over every other love story and scene out there. Why? The acting and feeling is all there.

Dracula bites Mina, then he cuts himself, so she can drink his blood and begin the change. At this point he is all in with making her like him.

Then she starts to drink, and you can see the torment in his face because the reality is clear that he will be cursing and damning the woman he loves, if she continues to drink.

Then she doubles down and says, "Take me away from all this death." She loves him enough to join him, cursed forever, in immortality.

Such a great scene.

The Ninja Writes week in review (7/22/19)

The Ninja Writes week in review for the week of 7/22/19 has a little bit something for everyone. From a the journey to get in touch with a pop culture icon like Tim Thomerson to a Social Network that seems to have sputtered out (MeWe). Also this week, I had some thoughts on a move back to ChromeOS from Win10, this new Puritan Luddite movement, and a cool new show on Netflix, starring Katee Sackhoff call Another Life. Sometimes you don't get to meet your heroes. We've had a fair amount of luck in interviewing authors and musicians on our ScannerDrome podcast so I thought maybe I could find a way to reach out to Tim Thomerson (Jack Deth in Trancers) and get him to come on the show. Alas… the production company won't relay the message and he doesn't really have a social media or internet footprint, possibly due to his age (73). So I've hit a brick wall in getting an invitation to him. Oh well… it is what it is… and if you haven't watched the Trancers series, t

I miss Tower Records

I'm not going to lie, in the decade before Tower Records closed down, I had probably gone into the Atlanta store only a handful of times. MP3 and digital was the way to get music and that was just more exciting and accessible. However, thinking back on the old Gen X days and the great 90's, it was the experience of going to Tower Records that I really miss. There was an excitement to it that no music streaming service will ever be able to to replicate. This was especially true on new release Tuesdays. That meant heading down to Tower Monday night, usually around 9 or 10 pm and then hanging out until 12 am to get the new release first. Back then, it felt like winning a competition by being the first person to get a new release and check it out on the drive back home. That meant, the next day you would be able to talk about it with your friends, who more than likely, went with you to pick it up too. Also funny when looking back on it, I used to see the people who worke

The 2nd Amendment is VERY Clear

Image
  Because the left is too low IQ and doesn't have any amount of comprehension.... The first line: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, This line is for the rights of the states. The states are well within their power to form their own militias that they themselves regulate. This is a right to the states, so that should the government become a tyranny and try to oppress or move on them, they can fight back. That line ends in a comma, and the 2nd line then deals specifically with the individual people. The second line: the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, The people are the citizens of the country. They have the right to keep their weapons, guns, etc... And bear them (use them). And to make the entire statement unambiguous (as the dumbasses on the left like to claim it is all so ambiguous because they are too dumb to understand English) they finalize the statement with: shall not be infringed. Everything before this shall not be infring
