	🩲 ♥ 6:10pm Sean T-Rex: Well except that one gang in the beginning who did put tokens in with each gang member.
	6:12pm a pedant nerd: Not the Odyssey, it's based on The Anabasis by Xenophon. Xenophon was a general of a Greek army, fighting for the Persians Cyrus is named for King Cyrus. They win a big battle, but King Cyrus is slain. So they have to fight their way all the way back to Greece, across the ancient Middle East.

	♥ 6:13pm Devin B.: Anybody seen this doc "Flyin' Cut Sleeves?" www.youtube.com...
	🩲 ♥ 6:14pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ a pedant nerd @6:12 That sounds right. My mistake
	6:17pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: I love wandering around a city and imagining how it used to be (and how it could be ✊)
	🩲 ♥ 6:19pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @6:17 Agree. Just imagining in a city is always fun. Makes you realize how important places are. I think that get lost in todays society
	6:21pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: @Sean T-Rex 💯💯 People really really need safe places to gather (without spending $$$), i think about this all the time
	♥ 6:23pm Deano de los Muertos: I’m back. It’s not my favorite Lynch movie either, some parts I love..but I’ve never loved Nicholas Cage. That being said, this is one of my favorite roles of his
	🩲 ♥ 6:23pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @6:21 Well, that's sorta like a separate issue with the loss of public spaces. But it is related.
	6:24pm MonkTrane: The scene when Willem Defoe's Bobby Peru threatens Laura Dern when she is alone... So gross and intimidating. Masterful!
	6:25pm ?: it is her real mom
	♥ 6:25pm DanFA: Diane Ladd is Laura Dern's mom

	6:29pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: @Sean T-Rex I just think about public spaces when i look around city blocks, big box stores, parking lots, etc. -- imagining what they could be, if only
	6:30pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: (or what they have been, in some cases -- Detroit used to have local markets in like every neighborhood and you can see evidence of how things were)
	♥ 6:31pm Hunterian: Johnny Angel! So funny the caller met him the day he arrived in LA, I knew him from the Boston scene

	🩲 ♥ 6:33pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @6:30 I get ya, I used to live in Buffalo in my college days and a few years after and they had a lot of abandoned buildings. So I would go explore them and just imagine how they used to be. Or sometimes what they could be. Or just have a sense of feeling.
	♥ 6:34pm dale: i just loved that the girl was miss beadle from little house on the prarie.
	♥ 6:34pm dale: i wonder if she smelled like lemon verbena at that time.

	♥ 6:38pm dale: 15 couches and you should never turn any of the cushions over.
	6:38pm mark: ebert has been wrong quite a bit...Mulholland drive most interesting of Lynch movies for me.. wild at heart not even close to the top..house guys say sorts and like so many times ..almost unbelievable but comical..you should listen to yourselves .
	6:38pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: @Sean T-Rex Good times :~) gotta stay dreaming
	♥ 6:39pm DanFA: Stop Making Sense is the best concert film.

	6:40pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: People have made more good art than i could possibly enjoy in one lifetime, and theres even more coming, and thats awesome. Especially if u believe in reincarnation. imagine all the movies i could watch in the next life.....
