And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Is that Ming the Merciless in the bottom right corner?
I got my DVD of this film in the hopper for next weekend. I remember as a young fella me and my friends went to the local movie house every Saturday and they showed one 30 minute episode of Flash on Mongo between several Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig cartoons and the main feature.
There's a bunch of vintage Flash Gordon serials on YouTube. I always got a kick out of the space ship cruising thru space with the sparks falling straight down from the back end...
The problem with going to a movie nowadays is that people no longer know how to act in public. Numerous kids texting on phones, holding conversations out loud, shouting their oh-so-hilarious comments at the screen. Nope, wife and I are happy watching movies at home.

DeleteRemember when going to the movies was fun? And cheap? The last time I went was a long time ago, saw U571 and probably will never go again.
