ST SID Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 In true Bill Lees style pedantry, who was talking about missing the point ? I understood writing could be dangerous. I didn't realize the danger came from the machinery - quote Bill Lees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST SID Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Bill Lees: Exterminate all rational thought. That is the conclusion I have come to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST SID Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Hans: Mr. Lee is curious about the Frost couple. He would like to meet them. Kiki: I think the woman would have sex with you, Mr. Lees. The man, he only likes Interzone boys. Bill Lees: I don't want to f**k 'em, I just want to talk to 'em. St Sid: Freakin' me out ya wierd f"k.

ST SID Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Tom Frost: They say you murdered your wife. Is that true? Bill Lees: Who told you that? Tom Frost: Word gets around. Bill Lees: It wasn't murder. It was an accident. Tom Frost: There are no accidents. For example, I've been killing my own wife slowly over a period of years. Bill Lees: What? Tom Frost: Well, not intentionally. I mean, on the level of conscious intention, it's insane, monstrous. Bill Lees: But you do consciously know it. You just said it. We're discussing it. Tom Frost: Not consciously. This is all happening telepathically, non-consciously. Bill Lees: What do you mean? Tom Frost: If you look carefully at my lips, you'll realize that I'm actually saying something else. I'm not actually telling you about the several ways I'm gradually murdering Joan. St Sid: Seph is now clinging to his comfort blankek ya crazy f"k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST SID Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Bill Lees: America is not a young land. It is old and dirty, evil. Before the settlers, before the Indians, the evil is there, waiting. St Sid: Right enough Tom Frost: No American should find himself in a foreign land without a pistol. St Sid: That'll explain the weapons of mass destruction then. Doctor Benway: We get a lot of you folks in the extermination business. You better tell this friend of yours to get off the bug powder, it'll kill him. Bill Lees: How do I get him to kick? Doctor Benway: Kick? Bill Lees: How do I get him off it? St Sid: You'll never get off the bus alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Lees Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Sorry Sid, but I haven't a feckin clue what you're talking about now ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST SID Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Sorry Sid, but I haven't a feckin clue what you're talking about now ..... It's all a bit jumbled up Bill Lees but then so was the movie. The leading male in the movie was called Bill Lees. First time "leading male" and "Bill Lees" has ever been used in the same sentence without the qualifier "isnae" or "up a dark alley" Can any one name the movie.

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Well, if it was me I'd name it, "What The F*ck Have You Been Sticking Up Your Nose, Sid, Ya Mad Fecker?". Not exactly a snappy title but there ye go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST SID Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 (edited) well hardly a classic St Sid...the truly bizarre "The Naked Lunch". I'm pretty sure Peter Weller's character is called Bill LEE and not LEES Tom, you are the oracle of general nonsense (& top 5's) Absolutely correct, it was in fact Bill Lee - the thought had crossed my mind that this was were Bill Lees actually took his alias from. It is a CLASSIC film to watch whem your monged oot yer face. Edited March 31, 2003 by ST SID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajansaint Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 I was - about you missing it. And it looks like you've done it again. Christ. I didn't realise you were actually making a point for anyone to miss behind all the ridiculous bluster and typical pedantry "The elegiac tone of the picture overall is superb". What planet are you actually on ? You missed your vocation writing for the TLS I think. Or perhaps not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Lees Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Since it's slighty pointless to argue about whether one person's subjective point of view about a piece of art is more valid than another's, I suggest we draw this to a close, Mr. Bajan Saint, flattered as I am to have provoked you into featuring me on your signature.

mattman Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 It's funny that Bajan Saint's signature describes a film as "cinematic toilet" and accuses Bill Lees of having his head up his arse when Bill Lees' signature says "Set phasers tae malky". Surely shome mishtake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be flattered if you wish Mr Lees. I will point out that the last subject of my signature was Collin Samuel. If being compared to him is flattering you need to have a long hard think about the direction your life is taking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be straight down the Evangelical Church of the Pious God-Botherers first thing on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
