Best old school quote. “Shit, you’re gonna give all this up…eight track stereos, color TV’s in every room, and all the blow you can take a day…that’s the American dream”. Blood talkin to Priest from the Movie SuperFly.
I found the coolest thing to do with your computer when you’re not using it to steal credit card numbers or spool for porn. It’s a screensaver from SETI, you know, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. These are the cats that use the giant radio telescopes to scan the stars for signs of ET. The Download SETI@home program is a special kind of screensaver. Like other screensavers it starts up when you leave your computer unattended, and it shuts down as soon as you return to work. What it does in the interim is unique. While you are getting coffee, or having lunch or sleeping, your computer will be helping the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence by analyzing data specially captured by the world's largest radio telescope. Since SETI funding sucks, this is a way that they can use the power of thousands of computer’s across the world to help them crunch the huge amount of data and numbers that’s needed. Plus it looks muthafuckin badass on your computer. I stopped by the Cane after work yesterday and caught the ass end of this fucked up film. The Door.Com, the worlds’ pretty much only religious satire magazine put it out. It gives this really fucked up look at the sometimes-fucked up world of TV evangelists. Benny Hinn, Robert Tilton, just to name a few. It made for a bunch of laughs but on the same hand it was so sad how many people below their means subscribed to these muthafucker’s and their ways. After that Walter put on the classic movie SuperFly. Now that’s some old school shit for your ass. Watchin it brought back a lot of memory’s, the smoking soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield for one. I hate to sound dated and shit but that caliber of music is just damn hard to come by these days. I can remember having my big ass eight-track hanging under the dash of the ghetto cruiser and rockin out then having to wait till that big muthafucker flipped over. I bet there cats everywhere that can still hear the sound of an eight-track flipping and to this day know what that sound is. Gordon Parks Jr. directed the film; he was the famous Black (and only black) photographer for Life Magazine back in the day. He also directed the movie Shaft among others. If you ever see SuperFly, check out his ride. That was the height of shit back in the day. Word. Later that night I finished up at the Empire Room watchin another classic film of a different sort, Death Stalker II. It was all about evil queens, more then evil sorcerers, and the cats that beat em down. Sword fighting with a huge tongue placed firmly in cheek vibe. Another movie so bad that it’s become an adult classic. Peace
