Thanks for the post RIP TL
Last Iheard, Ray Price is still hanging on
He was a lefty.
His movies were crap but fun to watch after a few.
That was a great skit
Post it if you find it
“Thank you Tom Laughlin, for showing many of our generation what it meant to stand up for ones beliefs.”
No matter how stupid they were. Chuck Norris he wasn’t

I hope if I ever get a chance to make movies I can make some stinkers too!
Rest in peace.
Yes. The reports of Ray Price’s death have been greatly exaggerated.
Abe Vigoda probably will outlive us all.
Him and Keith Richards.
LOL!
Maureen O’Hara is still with us.
At the time I loved it also. How naive I was. Like you said, it might be worth watching just for the campiness.
How ironic. I never get tired of watching SOUND OF MUSIC or GONE WITH THE WIND or WIZARD OF OZ, no matter how innocent they were. They have a certain timelessness, something I never outgrew. Yet BILLY JACK & all those other left-wing films, for all their "sophistication," now seem incredibly dated & silly.

Listen, people, to the story of the man who won the day
We had really dodged a bullet...with his men he led the way
When he learned that John Forbes Kerry had been working on a plan
He could never let that happen...that man’s unfit for command
DemocRATS would launch their salvos...he stood up to every blow
They used every dirty tactic...but they could not make him go
He risked his life once for his country...and then stepped up again
John O’Neill and the SwiftVets...you’ll never know finer men
All the lefties got together and they said these men had lied
They would not debate the substance...John Forbes Kerry still denied
We watched the charade keep on going...records he would not reveal
Brokaw, Jennings, and Dan Rather thought that it was no big deal
DemocRATS would launch their salvos...he stood up to every blow
They used every dirty tactic...but they could not make him go
He risked his life once for his country...and then stepped up again
John O’Neill and the SwiftVets...you’ll never know finer men
Voters finally paid attention...Kerry’s wounded, and it showed
This man was a fake and phony...from his mouth the anger flowed
On a fateful day it happened...on a Tuesday in ‘04
That is when he was rejected...Kerry had been shown the door
DemocRATS would launch their salvos...he stood up to every blow
They used every dirty tactic...but they could not make him go
He risked his life once for his country...and then stepped up again
John O’Neill and the SwiftVets...you’ll never know finer men
(UNHAPPY CLOSING NOTE: Uncleshag took $1200 from me to do a right wing parody album, never did it, lied about doing it, never returned the money, and has disappeared)
I remember it was the first, or one of the first of the hobbit movies, it was filmed in New Zealand. It seems like I saw a piece of equipment that should not have been there and then something about their feet. The hobbits had big bare feet and it seems like one of them didn't have their fake feet on. That's all I can remember.
If you’re in the mood for folks getting beat up and shot this holiday season, go see ‘Out of the Furnace” starring, Christian Bale, Woody Harrelson, Casey Affleck, Willem Dafoe and Sam Shepard - What a great film !!!
Bernard, Bernard, Bernard . . . What am I going to do with you?
Fish sleeps with the fishes...
which accounts for the odor.....
which accounts for the rumored demise.
