"New State Voting Laws May Affect More Than 5 Million
Could Have Significant Impact on 2012 Presidential Election
By Robert Longley, About.com Guide
Updated March 04, 2012
New state laws dealing with the right to vote enacted since the 2008
election may cause more than 5 million eligible voters to find it
significantly harder or even impossible to cast ballots in 2010,
according to a new report from the non-partisan Brennan Center for
Justice.
As is often the case with laws dealing with voter registration and
qualifications, the 19 new laws and two executive actions enacted in
14 states this year will most affect minority, poor and young
voters. . . ."

It's odd, I guess, but I never read that book or saw the movie. I did
make a list of classic movies a half-dozen years ago that I haven't
seen or have forgotten or only saw parts of, etc., that I intended to
watch now that I'm retired. So far, though, my batting average is zero
on that list.
I actually prefer other types of classic movies, like "Valdez is

I've never seen it either, nor have I read the book. I never was
much of a fan of movies though, and over the last 20 years I've
probably see fewer than ten. I just looked up Jack Nicholson
in Wikipedia and checked out the list of his movies, and as I
thought, I've never seen any of them, including "Five Easy Pieces"
and "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest".
Here's a list of "the 100 greatest movies of all time":
http://www.afi.com/100Years/movies10.aspx
The only ones I've seen on that list are:
Citizen Kane maybe: I'm not sure
The Wizard of Oz again, not sure
Star Wars again, not sure
Psycho
2001, A Space Odyssey
The Graduate
Annie Hall
The Bridge on the river Kwai
Dr. Strangelove
Midnight Cowboy
A Streetcar named Desire maybe only snippets
West Side Story maybe only snippets
The African Queen on shipboard, maybe age 11
Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf
Tootsie
A Clockwork Orange
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Last Picture Show on TV
That's between 12 and 18 of the 100, which is more
than I'd thought I'd have seen when I started going
through the list. My favourite on that list would be
"Dr. Strangelove", perhaps.
Even though I love Marilyn Monroe, I've never seen
any of her movies, just occasional snippets. I
always have trouble remembering whether it's i-y or
y-i in her first name.

movies at home. I think that I may even have most of them on tape (and
need to get them transferred to DVD before there are no more tape players)!
My favorite is The African Queen which I first encountered as a book on
tape. Later, I saw the film version and was not disappointed with the
casting. Normally I prefer to watch the movie first because the
director in my head biases me when I read it first and then I'm
disappointed when the actor(s) don't match my mental image. In this
case, Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn were perfectly cast!
I'm surprised that Birdy is not on the list. That is my wife's favorite
movie. She also likes 84 Charing Cross Road and Shirley Valentine, both
chick flicks.
How about Driving Miss Daisy and On Golden Pond?
There are also some classic, but very dark, Vietnam era movies missing.
Platoon and Deer Hunter, for example. Also Good Morning Vietnam -

Some of my favorites from the classic list are 2001: A Space Odyssey,
The Graduate, E.T., High Noon, Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, Jaws,
American Graffiti, Cabaret, and Network. Network is one of my all-time
favorites and definitely on of the greatest movie ever made
Some others great ones that aren't on the classics list are:
The Day The Earth Stood Still (Great 1950's Sci-Fi Movie)
War of the Roses (Should be at the top of the list of classics)
All Quit On The Western Front
Brigadoon
Seven Bridges For Seven Brothers
Forbidden Planet
Fail-Safe
Cat Ballou (Another really great movie)
Barbarella
Valdex Is Coming
Fiddler On The Roof
Young Frankenstein
Star Trek - The Motion Picture
Star Trek - (The one about the whales)
The Rose
All That Jazz
The Jazz Singer
Airplane (Maybe the funniest movie of all time?)

I've never heard of any of those, but that's not surprising,
since I've never heard of some others on the list. I avoid
chick flidks, though I did see "Beaches" which is maybe
the ultimate chick flick, at least of what I've seen.
>
>How about Driving Miss Daisy and On Golden Pond?
I've heard of them, but never seen them.
I'd have put "Bananas" on the list. There's not enough
suburban angst in it, I guess, just Woody Allen's habitual
urban angst.
And what about "When Nature Calls?" That was Jim
Carry's best movie (that I've seen) IMV. If there were
nothing else in the movie but his choice of meditation
ritual, while he was in the monastery trying to become
a monk, that alone would have made the movie worth
seeing.

I'd have put "Bananas" on the list. There's not enough
suburban angst in it, I guess, just Woody Allen's habitual
urban angst.
And what about "When Nature Calls?" That was Jim
Carry's best movie (that I've seen) IMV. If there were
nothing else in the movie but his choice of meditation
ritual, while he was in the monastery trying to become
a monk, that alone would have made the movie worth
seeing.

I never did like Patrick Stewart (Capt. Picard) much either, but he
does sort of grow on you over time and I still enjoyed watching Star
Trek -- The Next Generation. I probably liked most of "Hanoi Jane's"
movies, including The China Syndrome.
If I had to pick two favorites, they would probably be "War of the

undying, unqualified, unmitigated hate for each other and the lengths
they're willing to go to, to get even with each other. If anyone

really a pretty accurate prediction of the situation we have now with
the news media.

According to the article, she's fighting the killing

It's needed to keep the world turning, although Lady
Bracknell noted that if the human race were to disappear,
that might not be a bad thing. Erasmus of Rotterdam,
who apparently did regard the continuation of mankind as
a good thing, entitled his masterpiece "In Praise of Folly".

Long, long, long ago, there was a PBS series called "Wars of
the Roses". Perhaps that was just a single show, and my
memory is getting it mixed up with "Norman Conquests" which
was another Britcom I liked that I saw about the same time,
and I think that was a series. I did like both of those.
I remember them together, I suppose, because their titles are
both puns on British history. (I only mention that because
some Yanks might never have heard of the Wars of the Roses.
Since I'm a Yorkshireman, I was part of those wars, or at least
my ancestors in the 15th Century were.

didn't realize at the time, were in the last stages of trying to repair
a bad marriage. They both hated the movie, perhaps because they saw a
mirror of their own lives. Their marriage did not survive.
Personally, I thought that the movie portrayed two people who were so
self centered that there was no room for another person in their lives.
Tragic that they could only destroy each other.

PBS this evening at 9:40. I'm going to try to remember
to watch it, though I often space out on watching TV
shows. I could of course get a recording device and
watch it at my leisure, as I had before TV went digital,
but I feel some resistance at making life easy for the
squawk box these days, who's quite intrusive enough
already, without any help.
