Blue Shift Barney

Thoughts on the Thin Blue Line. I have served; I will be of service.

@Jed_Trott Like its distant chainsaw cousin, it stands ready to remind you that it is a helper but not a friend

@EsotericCD From Roger Ebert’s review:

@Jed_Trott Classic Onion remains undefeated

@Love_Thy_Hood Striking on a rewatch of SPR how often when the squad shows compassion/mercy/doing the decent thing instead of “following fucking orders,” it ends badly.

@Jerry_Ratcliffe @ATRightMovies The cuckoo clock.

[Blue Shift Barney @BarneyShift]

@RAVerBruggen By all accounts, the band largely agrees with you

@mudrmdb @SGTWipper1Each See also the Gurkhas, Sikhs, and other Commonwealth citizens who serve in the armed forces of the UK.

@Love_Thy_Hood And he lucked out in working with James Cameron, who really knew how to get the most out of him.

@dlondonwortel Foo Fighters, the WAR=0.0 of bands.

@PeterMoskos @RealSteveBellow They’re random, yet somehow not random enough to randomly assault, say, football lineman, rugby players, and MMA fighters.

@AdamPlantinga And maybe half of them are paired up, with the twins of the other half nowhere in sight

@Love_Thy_Hood I feel that Obi-Wan is pure esse quam videri (“to be, not to seem”); his lack of flash makes for a compelling contrast to the high-ranking Jedi. One of the points I think that Lucas was making in his often-thumbless way is that the Jedi could’ve used more of his humility.

@Love_Thy_Hood Or The Two Towers.

[Blue Shift Barney @BarneyShift]

@Love_Thy_Hood I’ve come around to the belief that as messy as it is, leaving plot threads lying around and asking the audience to buy any number of contrivances, Dark Knight Rises is superior to its predecessor.

[Blue Shift Barney @BarneyShift]

@PeterMoskos And it makes otherwise law-abiding people feel like suckers for doing the right thing.

[Blue Shift Barney @BarneyShift]

@PeterMoskos @RobHarbin8 One of those awkward things that everyone knows but nobody wants to say in public. It would be bracing for an elected official to get Iin front of a press scrum and candidly say “We thank our police for putting bullets in the suspect till he couldn’t hurt anyone else.

@AnnoyedLawyer76 @EsotericCD @michaelbd I love,positively adore, that Larry Mullen drops a drumstick at about 3:10 into the song and A) they kept it in and B) it absolutely works as if it was intentional.
