Alsson At Large

These are my footnotes to the collective consciousness.

I think I'm the oldest person on Tumblr and possibly the only Conservative. My posts are mostly reblogs, often with reactions and rebuttals to Liberal nonsense I'm simply unable to ignore. Occasionally, I am moved to share something personal, often from my past. I'm just messing around here, is what it all boils down to. I had a blue-collar youth and a white-collar career, both in the midwest. I built, ran and sold a business, have stayed married to the same person since 1965 and have two children and one grandchild I adore. Life hasn't always been easy, but it has been very good overall. That's me, for now.

Also, I own almost none of the photographs or videos I post. If I've used one of yours and you want me to remove it, just ask.

1999 was the last great year of movies

pluimer:

Everyone once in a while it hits me what an amazing year 1999 was for movies. So I made a list of my favorites:

Being John Malkovich

American Movie

Magnolia

Three Kings

The Limey

Talented Mr Ripley

American Beauty

Green Mile

Toy Story 2

The Matrix

The Insider

Audition

Fight Club

Eyes Wide Shut

The Iron Giant

Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels

Go

Run Lola Run

Office Space

Election

Princess Mononoke

Gotta agree with you on almost every one of these. Of course, not a one is in the same league as Clash of the Titans or any of the Terminators, but whataya gonna do?

(It was especially good to see American Movie on this list. Mark Borchardt and Mike Schank and poor old Uncle Bill of the wicked toenail. I think there’s a phone number or a web site where you can hear that amazing Mike Schank scream.)
