You see, according to Cocteau’s plan... I’m the enemy, ‘cause I like to think; I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I’m the kind of guy likes who likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - “Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?” I want high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-O all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I’ve SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing “I’m an Oscar Meyer Wiener.” You live up top, you live Cocteau’s way: what he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other choice: come down here... and maybe starve to death.
I love this movie!
You know Bob Gunton,the tall,bald actor who played the Chief as well as the evil warden in ‘The Shawshank Redemption’?
Back in November 2012 I had sent him a message on facebook in which I wished him a Happy Birthday. Well,he responded a few weeks later with a sweet,kind message in which he thanked me for my ‘support and encouragement’ and at the end he wished me the very best. I damn near fell off my bed!
