Good links, thanks. To this day I can't figure out why Tarantino didn't cast the awesome, awesome Grier in Pulp Fiction (she auditioned for the Rosanna Arquette part). Grier and (the unjustly forgotten for 30 years) Robert Forster turned a very average crime B-movie like "Jackie Brown" into something much more interesting
I'm really no blaxpoitation fan, but it's hard to deny Grier's charisma, even in her lamest moviescomment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.27858-542769Mon, 25 Aug 2003 06:28:26 -0800matteoBy: WolfDaddy

I'm with matteo. Jackie Brown, for me, was way better than Pulp Fiction solely due to Grier and Forster and the more relaxed (one might say <i>middle-aged</i>) performances they gave.
Way cool site, ashbury, thanks for the link to Cult Sirens. Any site that's got pics of <a href="http://www.cultsirens.com/nuyen/nuyen.htm">France Nuyen</a> is a-ok by me...comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.27858-542837Mon, 25 Aug 2003 09:22:48 -0800WolfDaddyBy: fuzz

How come strong and sexy women get ignored by the starmaking machinery in favor of bland girls? Personally I'd pay good money to watch Pam Grier or Tura Satana kick Gwyneth Paltrow's ass.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.27858-543024Mon, 25 Aug 2003 14:06:37 -0800fuzz
"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet.
