"We were talking with the master regarding the nature of conceptual reality. Psychologically speeking, the human mind or brain or whatever is almost incapable of distinguishing between the real and the vividly imagined experience...of sound and film, of music and radio, even these manipulated experiences are recieved more or less directly and uninterpreted by the mind. They are cataloged and recorded and either acted upon directly or stored in the memory or both. Now, this process, unless we pay it tremendous attention, begins to seperate us from the reality of the now. Am I being clear? For we must allow the reality of the know to just happen as it happens. Observe and act with clarity. For where there is clarity the is no choice and where there is choice there is misery. But then, why should I speak, since I know nothing."
MY THOUGHTS: um...yeah. machines will one day take over this earth, exploiting a human's sense of reality to turn a human into a DD batterie. There, inside that false reality, a chosen one will be born. He must fight the machines and lead us back into the reality of the now. (If you don't know that this is the plot to The Matrix please exit this site...now. "Am I being clear?")
"Nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humor."
MY THOUGHTS: They will only use it to feed their humorous addictions. Just remember - If you give a man a fish he'll eat for but a day. If you teach him to fish he'll eat for a big fat lifetime.
SCENE:Davy & the Eye
MY THOUGHTS: Davy is parinoid. The eye is a representaion of Davy's inner "Big Brother." He's clued into the fact that everyone is watching him, manipulitating him, disecting him. The fact that this scene takes place in the bathroom only enhances the theory that Davy's privacy is being violated. Yep, theres nothing worse than being spied on in the John...oh, Comfort room...sorry.
SCENE: The chick on the ledge
MY THOUGHTS: Driven to madness by her obsessive love for the Monkees and with no internet access to release all her sexual and obsessive fustrations, she has nothing left to do but end it all. But of course, like any lucky fan, she is saved by her obsession and lands in the arms of her intense love. The bikini? If you've got it honey, flaunt it. Especially if there's a Monkee around.
The moral? Throw yourself at people.
Peter's Ice Cream Cone
MY THOUGHTS: Yum, ice cream. You know, back in the day when Pee-Wee ruled the planet and Nintendo had not evolved into 64, I too would wait for my ice cream to melt before I would eat it. It's pleasently soupy consistancy felt better when squished between my teeth...but that's not the point here! Peter refuses to eat it. There's starving children...well, there's starving children somewhere. I think I once heard that line used as an excuse on an HBO Life Stores Families in Crisis-type show...? Humm...?
Jack Nicholson
MY THOUGHTS: You are the mighty god of quirky character actors. Sr. Anthony has nothing over this little cameo. And you wear a floral print ever so nicely. "Bob...Bob...?" What genius! Was that scripted? No matter...you stole the show.
SCENE: The Kisses...a complete analysis
MICKY'S:
Fading in from the psychadellic under water scene indicates to me that his kiss is wet and dreamy. Groovy, baby, groovy...
MIKE'S:
Mike anticipates and then tilt's his head seductively, releasing maximum suaveness through his open lips. Man, this is what cheesy romance paperbacks are made of! He could have been the original Fabio...with less "I can't believe it's not butter" on his pecks.
PETER'S:
At first it seems as though he's waiting for a root canal at the dentist's...this is not entirely untrue. Though that chick is no oral surgen, you could hardly tell by watching this scene. Lordy me! Forceful tounge action? Do we...no, should we really want to know?
DAVY'S:
The perfect kiss. Too bad the squaking pigeons don't seem to agree.
MY OTHER THOUGHTS: The Chick? Hey, she's what every Monkees fan aspires to be: The Official Taste Tester. There's one thing about this little scene here that irks me...the rather thick layer of Monkee salive that seems to be collecting on her lips. You know what they say. When you kiss someone, you're really kissing everyone that they ever kissed before. Yeah, eeew. Herp-atitis can be a bitch.
SCENE: Things Go Better With Coca-Cola
MY THOUGHTS: Back in the day when "Coke" really lived up to it's name, withdraw simptoms often included severe paranoid delusions and skitzophrenia(sp?).
SCENE: The Surrendor Of The Italians
MT THOUGHTS: Micky, with no shirt, in the middle of the desert, completly unthreatening in any way and slowly losing his mind. Who wouldn't surrender in such a situation as this. It simply points out how all-powerful and god-like Americans are in every way. We could never loose a battle in any form for any reason! The true irony, we lost vietnam a few meeger years later... coincidence, I think not!
