The difference between a movie romance and a television soap

In the movie you get to fall in love, if you’re on a soap you just get to sleep with everybody.

I don’t know enough about the situation to know whether this Arizona law that the Governor just signed is good or evil, but I am really confused on his stance that it will not include racial profiling because that is patently illegal. Am I missing something? Aren’t like 99.9% of illegal immigrants in Arizona Hispanic? Is there a huge pipeline from Denmark or Belgium that I don’t know about?
I mean if you are going to arrest people for being illegal immigrants and they are all Hispanic - it would seem like not racially profiling would be a colossal waste of time. Do neither or do both, just don’t play semantics with me.
I’m actually really looking forward to Iron Man 2, but it’s already falling prey to burning itself out.
In the beginning Superman could just fight robbers and stuff. Then people got bored with that and he had to fight super villains. Then that got old so he had to fight all the super villains at the same time.
In the first movie, there were two men with Iron Man suits. Now it appears that in the sequel there will be about 100. The only thing left for the third movie is to let everyone on earth have their own Iron Man suit and have a battle royale (actually I’d watch that).
The reason Marvel was better than DC was because it’s hero had problems and it dealt with the repercussions of having powers. The movies seem to ignore that, which is why they had to reboot Spider-man after only three movies. There are endless plots from millions of comic books, yet every time they make a movie they try to use them all in one go round - see Daredevil especially.
Wow, this girl is pretty cute, and I love when people set out to mock the establishment for being stupid, but wasn’t there anyone behind the camera that could have pointed out that the following didn’t exactly make her look like an expert?
“Miles Davis. I love Miles Davis as much as you do, but the man was a saxophone player. He is not a rock and roll artist. Wonderful. Inspirational. I love Miles Davis, but I’m not sure that he should be on this list.”
Let’s ignore the fact that being a saxophone player doesn’t preclude you from playing rock and roll. Perhaps not being able to discern the difference between a trumpet and a saxophone should preclude you from commenting on music.
It reminds me of one of my favorite Miles Davis stories. Miles is in a limo about to attend some presidential tribute. He doesn’t want to be there. He’s dressed funky for an event that is black tie and some older white woman asks him why he was invited and what he had achieved. This isn’t exact - check out his great autobiography written with Quincy Troupe for the exact quote.
Miles said something like “I changed the course of music three or four times, but I guess that’s nothing compared to fucking some rich white guy for 30 or 40 years.”
Then again she’s cute - I can’t pronounce Skynard either - and I’d probably tell her how insightful she was just to get into her pants. Miles aside we’re all slaves to our penises.
