"Can you keep a secret? So can I."

Alleged last words of Luddite John Woodhead Booth, who did not give away the names of fellow conspirators. Booth, a 19-year-old apprentice tinner, son of the Reverend Booth of Kirkby-Malhamdale at Craven, was wounded in one of his legs, which had apparently been shattered by a musket ball. The post linked below suggests he did not say the words but does not question his courage. Tim Harford claims in an article in the Financial Times that Booth did not object to new machinery per se, but argued it "might be man's blessing instead of his curse if society were differently constituted", which suggests Booth was a very wise 19-year-old.

MOVIE QUOTE OF THE DAY:

“See, Mr. Gittes, most people never have to face the fact that at the right time and the right place, they’re capable of . . . ANYTHING!”

The magic of Christmas is made not bought. For me that sums it all up.

The film, which was made by a four-person crew and stars four actors, was shot over two days in November, in locations in Norristhorpe, Mirfield, Roberttown and Brighouse. Sam Tralee

Who knows a good sports movie? There are the “usual suspects” - “Field of Dreams” with Kevin Costner, amongst others - but the problem with most of them is that they’re not really about the sports. They’re about something else, in many cases leadership. As in: new coach arrives to revive a demoralised team. You’ve seen that movie. This film, Robert Towne’s “Personal Best” (1982), has none of these flaws. His movie IS about the lives of athletes - how they train, compete, relate to each other on and off the track, suffer injuries that ruin their chances etc. Mariel Hemingway (@marielhemingway), the girl you know because she acted opposite Woody Allen in “Manhattan”, is fit enough to play the pentathlete who tries to get selected for the American Olympics team. The movie was written and directed by Robert Towne. Movie buffs recognise his name instantly: he wrote “Chinatown”, Roman Polanski’s masterpiece! All the more tragic that this film is totally forgotten: I had to order a Spanish edition to even find it on DVD… #roberttowne #marielhemingway #hemingway #scottglenn #sport #sports #athlete #athletics #athletes #pentathlon #olympics #sportswomen #sportswoman #movie #movies #film #films #dvd #dvdcollection #dvdcollector #dvds #sportsmovie #sportsmovies @marielhemingway https://www.instagram.com/p/CPyNoYPDFSN/?utm_medium=tumblr

Tequila Sunrise

Written and directed by Robert Towne, the man who, according to many film experts, wrote Chinatown, the “perfect script”. This “thriller” stars Mel Gibson (way before he had his anti-semitic coming out party), Kurt Russell, Raul Julia and Michelle Pfeifer. It’s a love triangle (how rare) with drugs and a lot of money and international thugs. The actors are fine (nothing inspiring, nothing…
