Full Excerpt:
“That first twenty minutes is pretty fucking perfect. The whole non-stop parade of Alex and the druids or whatever they were called: they beat up a bum, they have a gang fight, they go to the milk bar, they r*pe a girl, they break into the house, and they’re driving and playing the Beethoven, and Malcolm McDowell’s fantastic narration is going on, and it’s about as poppy and visceral and perfect a piece of cinematic moviemaking as I think had ever been done up until that time.
It’s like that long opening sentence of Jack Kerouac’s ‘The Subterraneans,’ all right, that great run-on sentence that goes on for almost a page and a half. I always thought Kubrick was a hypocrite, because his party line was, I’m not making a movie about violence, I’m making a movie against violence.
And it’s just, like, Get the f*k off. I know and you know your d!ck was hard the entire time you were shooting those first twenty minutes, you couldn’t keep it in your pants the entire time you were editing it and scoring it. You liked the rest of the movie, but you put up with the rest of the movie. You did it for those first twenty minutes. And if you don’t say you did you’re a f*king liar.”
(Quentin Tarantino's interview with Larissa MacFarquhar, The New Yorker, 2003)

Kendrick had Crips and Bloods shaking hands dancing to him calling Drake a pedophile to an entire audience of screaming fans. There has never been such a complete cultural victory before this. this is Genghis Khan levels of hating.
Everyone at Everton is deeply saddened by the death of our former striker Kevin Campbell at the age of just 54.
Not just a true Goodison Park hero and icon of the English game, but an incredible person as well - as anyone who ever met him will know.
RIP, Super Kev. 💙
