Argh

I watched Patriot Games with [livejournal.com profile] classicaljunkie last night. I enjoyed it in theaters when I saw it with my dad ~15 years ago, but now it's just ridiculous, basically a slasher/monster movie painted to look like political intrigue.

The scenes I remembered most remain poignant anyway, and I discovered some new ones. My new hobby is to bellow I WILL FUCKING DESTROY YOU! I WILL MAKE IT MY MISSION IN LIFE to someone different once per week. Maybe I'll start with the neighbor's dog and work my way up.

"Red October" was one of the first movies we ever downloaded as a preview at the Internet company I worked at in Colorado.

I can still here Jordan (Owner of ISP, boss type) playing it. Again and again and again. "The cold war is over. But the weapons remain... "

We were thrilled at the quality of the video that we could download over a 56k circuit....

;)

It really is awesome forever. True story: my friend took Intensive Russian with me in college because he wanted to be able to sing the Soviet anthem along with Sean Connery and know what he was singing. We used to walk around intoning, "It reminds me of the heady days of Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin..." in an inappropriate Scottish brogue.
