A Room with a View
George Emerson: He's the sort who can't know anyone intimately, least of all a woman. He doesn't know what a woman is. He wants you for a possession, something to look at, like a painting or an ivory box. Something to own and to display. He doesn't want you to be real, and to think and to live. He doesn't love you. But I love you. I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when I hold you in my arms
(1985) A Room With a View by James Ivory
The Grifters
Roy Dillon: Maybe I like it where I am.
Myra Langtry: Well, maybe I don't! I had ten good years with Cole, and I want them back! I gotta have a partner! I looked and I looked and believe me, brother, I kissed a lot of fucking frogs, and you're my prince!!
The Grifters (1990) By Stephen Frears
I won't watch you die
Sundance Kid: What I'm saying is, if you want to go, I won't stop you. But the minute you start to whine or make a nuisance, I don't care where we are, I'm dumping you flat.
Butch Cassidy: Don't sugarcoat it like that, Kid. Tell her straight.
Etta Place: I'm 26, and I'm single, and a school teacher, and that's the bottom of the pit. And the only excitement I've known is here with me now. I'll go with you, and I won't whine, and I'll sew your socks, and I'll stitch you when you're wounded, and I'll do anything you ask of me except one thing. I won't watch you die. I'll miss that scene if you don't mind.

I was playing some kind of game!
Benjamin: It's like I was playing some kind of game, but
the rules don't make any sense to me. They're being made up by all the wrong people. I mean no one makes them up. They seem to make themselves

It is OK to kill, but they are not allowed to write Fuck
General Kurtz: They train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write 'fuck' on their airplanes because it is obscene

From #Tahrir
A poor guy told @MahaBahnassy in Tahrir : you should go home, so when we die you guys can build the country. You are the educated ones!
A 15 years old boy was writing his mother's phone number on his arm so when he die they can reach her to ID his body!
Personally, I won't forgive or forget the Egyptian Army crimes against its people. SCAF can say whatever they want. And the corrupted controlled Egyptian State Media can air whatever to find excuses for these crimes.

Meyers & Obama Fire at Trump at Correspondents 39; Dinner
Trump looked like an ass . Is there anyone in the GOP who has brain cells instead of the dollar sign??
#Trump: #Obama wasn't Qualified for Ivy League!
What's wrong with this idiot? is the he the new #GlennBack ??
Egyptian Blogger was sentenced 3 years for insulting the Army.
After the Army used force to clear Tahrir Square few weeks ago, Maikel Nabil wrote here that the People and The Army are not one hand. He was mocking the famous Revolution Slogan " the People and Army are one hand".
Putting bloggers, writers, and media people behind bars was a Mubarak's trademark. We all said it would never happen again after the Revolution, but the Army proved all of us wrong. In one of the quickest military trails, Maikel was sentenced early this morning.It is a huge disappointment and a big red flag!
For me, shutting people mouths and taking their right of freedom of expression is like shooting a peaceful protester in Tahrir Square. And just for the record,Mubarak's gang who committed so many crimes did not face a military trial. They are being questioned in luxury jail cells.
Our Army MUST stop military trails for civilians or we are back to square one!

Sorry Japan, we have morons among us!
Dear Japan,
Please forgive us. We did not make Glenn Beck or Ann Coulter; God is punishing us with the two of them. Glenn Back, the ultra idiot, said that the Japanese Disaster was a message from god and he also found the solution to all of our problems. The controversial political commentator suggested the Ten Commandments as a solution to current global woes. So in order for us to stop Gaddafi from killing his people, we will have to follow the Ten Commandments! Let say we followed the Ten Commandments, how do we make Gaddafi follow them!!
Since Beck is as bright as Gaddafi, I suggest that he should go to Libya and speak with Gaddafi about it. It will be great media for FOX news! Two smart men like Gaddafi and Beck just having a conversation. Wow; It is epic!
The other Moron we got is Ann Coulter who took her stupidity to a whole new level. During a segment on Bill O'Reilly's show, Coulter said " radiation is good for you"
And Yes the show was of course on our beloved FOX!
Coulter posted in her website that ".... The only good news is that anyone exposed to excess radiation from the nuclear power plants is now probably much less likely to get cancer."
Bill O'Reilly tried to be funny and told Coulter " So by your account, we should all be heading for the nuclear reactor"
People like Coulter and Beck should not be allowed near Radios or TVs because they are the definition of embarrassment. Think about it this way, will you ever give your 5 years old kid a bomb as a toy?
I want Dick Cheney invites Beck and Coulter to one of his hunting trip. And who knows, may be god will send them a message!
Hillary Clinton Visit to Egypt!
Hillary Clinton visited Egypt and Tahrir Square few days ago. She met with the Egyptian PM and the Minister of Defense. No one really know the hidden reasons behind the meeting. However, few days after the meeting, the Security Council has passed the No Fly Zone on Libya and we also read in the News that the Egyptian Army was going to arm the Libyans Oppositions.
I am hundred percent sure, the meeting was all about these two points. But some people think The Secretary of State also wanted to know what’s going on with the upcoming Egyptian Referendum and to make sure the Egyptian – Israeli peace treaty is secured !
Other people think the Army wants to get the US blessing on introduction General Samy Anan as a candidate for the Presidency which will stir lots of anger among Egyptians.
The Secretly of State wanted to meet with some activists from the Jan 25 Revolution, but the guys declined. The activists did not forget that the US administration did not support the Revolution from the beginning. A friend of mine said “ why should we meet her now when she turned her back to us” Clinton was not the first foreign official to get denied. The Activists rejected a meeting with some EU officials right after Mubarak stepped down.
The Egyptians activists point of view regarding meeting with Western Officials at this time is simple. They feel the west supported Mubarak for so many years regardless of the activists calls for reform and human rights improvements. Specially for Egyptians, the Revolution gave them some confidence and we know now that we are able to change anything with or without the Western Governments’ support.
The relationship between the West and the Middle east was changed forever. The people of the Middle East feel some power after the Tunisian and the Egyptian Revolutions. And I guarantee you this, if the our next government did anything stupid, you will see Tahrir Square filled again with people.
Most of the Arab dictators learned or are still learning the POWER of the people and sooner or later, they are going to respect it.
