Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence
(1998)


RATING:20%
FORMAT:DVD

[Very Thought of You ]

Romantic comedy so bad that it is easy to see why White people have such lackluster love-lives that they have to whine via drivel like this.

This must be why Whites have the highest divorce rates since they are so self-indulgent, narcissistic and solipsistic that they cannot see above and beyond their own small-beer and self-created personal problems. The revelation-through-therapy structure will leave any normal person needing therapy after it is revealed that the complete unbelievability of the plot is not used to say anything profound about the nature of love or friendship.

Watching this movie is like having a conversation with someone who is more in love with their problems than with their alleged loved ones; more in love with their problems than with any potential solutions.

A desperate attempt to outdo American love stories in triteness and absurdly-unidiomatic dialog by wasting some fine British actors.

Science:



No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.



Jacob Bronowski… (1908 - 74), British scientist, author. Encounter (London, July 1971).


Sleep of Reason:



The dream of reason produces monsters. Imagination deserted by reason creates impossible, useless thoughts. United with reason, imagination is the mother of all art and the source of all its beauty.



Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes… (1746-1828), Spanish painter. Caption to Caprichos, number 43, a series of eighty etchings completed in 1798, satirical and grotesque in form.


Humans & Aliens:



I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.



Terence… (circa 190-159 BC), Roman dramatist. Chremes, in The Self-Tormentor [Heauton Timorumenos], act 1, scene 1.


Führerprinzip:



One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves… There is no organ of conciliation or mediation interposed between the leader and the people, nothing in fact but the apparatus - in other words, the party - which is the emanation of the leader and the tool of his will to oppress. In this way the first and sole principle of this degraded form of mysticism is born, the Führerprinzip, which restores idolatry and a debased deity to the world of nihilism.



Albert Camus… (1913-60), French-Algerian writer & philosopher. The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt: New York: Vintage Books, (1984; page 182.)
