The extraordinarily drunk Martin Sheen part is interesting.

He was really drunk, thrashing around in that hotel room, when he hit the mirror and opend a gash in his hand. That wasn't supposed to happen and they wanted to take him to get sewn up but he insisted on doing the scene, which became a bloody mess.
Later, he had a heart attack and they stopped shooting for a while.

KS - Happy & Tumbling Dice are my two favorite Stones' songs, among the many that I like.
Slynkie - Thanks, ordered the large. Looking forward to many outdoor rides this winter.

Going to try a commute on the fixed gear today. First day on the bike since cracking a couple of ribs.

The "boat landing" scene was interrupted when the Philippines needed their choppers back to respond to "rebels" in real life.
Typhoon screwed things up.
The unexpected Marlon weight thing was kind of funny.
Cow slaughter is real. The first one happened off camera, the second the wife filmed, the third was in the movie.
Tons and tons of weird stuff happened. Makes the movie even more surreal.

Yeah, I've only read the Prince (he wrote about a dozen things), but it's pretty fascinating. I guess I wouldn't call it a typically ''enjoyable'' read. But, it's pretty amazing to read it and think about how it's influenced the last 500 years or so of governing/politics. That same summer of Machiavelli/Conrad I also read Utopia by Sir Thomas More. Also an excellent read.
Man, I was such a nerd that summer.

Aside from Brando parodying himself it's not that bad actually.

I LOVED Utopia though. I don't even remember why I got so into it, but I was really obsessed with that book for a while.

I read Utopia and watched A Man For All Seasons when I was in 8th grade, as I had chosen Thomas More as my confirmation saint. Didn't really get either of them, obviously, but had a much greater appreciation when I returned to them in college. Even more so after working as a government lawyer with unreasonable clients.....

I'll take this chance to apologize for jumping in and randomly taking the Twitter feed in a nerdy direction.

Please do not apologize. The more we can talk about philosophy and political science, the less we have to endure the coding and phone discussions.
