The fact that I do not already own this DVD is a goddamn criminal shame. One which I shall rectify next week.
This is probably my all time favorite movie. I mean, Apocalypse Now is the *best* movie ever made ... but this is my *favorite* movie. I remember watching this sucker over and over with my dad on TBS ... good times....
"It's 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas and half a pack of cigarettes. It's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."
"Hit it."
[Note: The Blues Brothers are technicallly from Rock Island, Illinois - which is where my dad grew up and basically my hometown too. It's the shit like that in the Quad Cities.]

I want to comment on your last few posts. Cindy Sheehan may be a dangerous antiSemite, as opposed to the not dangerous type. she's disavowed some of the comments attributed to her but not allof them. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't hate the Jews (not including myself, I'm not a self hating Jew) but this zionist conspiracy Jewish overlords of America stuff makes me sick. If the Jews are really in control of america, they're doing a pretty good job disguising their objectives as those of the Fundamentalist Christian Right. And if the Jews are in control I WANT MY PIECE GOD DAMN IT. I didn't take those Bar Mizvah lessons for nothing.
And as far as marketing to children you don't want to get me started. I used to work at the Fox Family Channel, and they wouldn't produce a cartoon if they did not have a toy company signed on to pick up some of the production costs. That's right, they wouldn't make a cartoon unless there were toys in production. The shows were just elaborate commercials. Nothing more. Period. End of Story. they used to do the Power Rangers, and the Toy company would send them the toys in advance and they would write the episodes around the new toys (for example Power Ranger Jet Bikes) I wish I was making this up. It's bad enough the children's television shows are poorly written, dirivative, and soulless, but that they are only designed to sell products...it's almost more than I can bear. Don't get me started on Mtv which always reminds me of the movie "They Live" (which belongs up there with The Blues Brothers) where you put on the sunglasses and everything just says CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME.
