Bobby Peru is a character portrayed by Willem Defoe in the movie ‘Wild At Heart’ which has stuck with me long after I originally watched it.
I love the movie ‘Wild at Heart’ because it is sick and twisted, filled with intense characters and hidden meaning you have to absorb multiple times to pick up on it all.
Dafoe plays Bobby Peru and is amazing. The scene below is with Dafoe and Laura Dern who plays LuLu and my favorite line is uttered by Bobby Peru.
…like a big ole jackrabbit bunny, jump all around that hole
I don’t count myself a fan of David Lynch, but Wild At Heart is a classic.
Actor Ricardo Montalban, star of the hit TV series “Fantasy Island,” died Wednesday in Los Angeles, a family spokesman said. Montalban, 88, was in deteriorating health over the past several days but “died peacefully” at 6:30 a.m. at his home, son-in-law Gilbert Smith said.
He understood “it was his time,” Smith said. The cause of death was not given. Source: CNN News
Another Legend leaves us. An important part of my childhood has died today. I dare you to find two more prominentcharacters of television and movies than Mr. Roarke and Khan. You can’t because they don’t exist!
Khan was by far the best villain of all the Star Trek movies and shows, period, end of discussion. Mr. Roarke was the pinnacle of 80’s television, an icon, infamous, far and away a character who will never be forgotten for how cool he was and the last man to pull off an all white suit.
Roarke’s best friend was a midget and you don’t get more bad ass than that. Roarke would give you your fantasy, sit back while your world crumbled around you and then tell you how much of an asshat you were for wanting that fantasy.
I solute you Ricardo Montalban for in life you kicked major balls.
P.S. I know for a fact Montalban tapped Marsha Brady like a beer keg in a frat house.
Last night I watched a movie titled ‘Appaloosa’, a western which stars Ed Harris, Viggo Mortensen, Jeremy Irons and Renée Zellweger and got to thinking. When did a man’s ‘word’ die?
In the not so distant past if a man gave his ‘word’ on something you could trust him not to betray that word. All a man had was his ‘word’, it was like a badge of honor no one could strip from you. You could be a dirt farmer, a filthy hobo, a dirty rotten scoundrel, but if you kept your ‘word’ you were still honorable. Those days are over!
I am calling out all men to harken back to the days when whiskey rotted your gut, your gun was your best friend, a man in cowboy boots never two-stepped, a slap in the face was a challenge to duel, carrying a flask meant survival and a man never, ever went back on his ‘word’.
Men are pussies in disguise nowadays. The biggest gossip bitch on the planet is a man, well sort of, in PerezHilton.com. Men read their wives US Weekly, People, and a gazillion other estrogen leiden, cat fighting, claws out, bitch and gossip fused magazines. This has warped the brain of men to want to gossip. Men want to reveal juicy secrets, or a tidbit another guy told him and the gap, yes pun intended, which separates men from women is narrowing. When you open your mouth you become one of them and don’t forget it.
We are men! When you take a dump read the back of a shaving cream bottle, not your wife’s annoying hen cackle magazine. When a friend tells you he jerked off watching Namaste Yoga on FitTV don’t tell your wife, or anyone else for that matter. You gave your fucking ‘word’ and without your word you are nothing!
The heavy glass and steel sliding doors were literally knocked off their hinges in the shopper-stampede-to-be-first. Then the wave of humanity caved in on defenseless Wal-Mart workers as they opened early — 5 a.m. — for the annual bargain hunting ritual that kicks off the morning after Thanksgiving.
“The crowd pushed so forcefully that they crashed the doors down and one of the workers from Wal-Mart was pushed to the floor as the crowd entered the store, many of them running,” said Det. Lt. Michael Fleming of the Nassau County Police Department.

As responding Nassau police and paramedics tried to save him, they were also jostled and pushed to the ground. CBS Broadcasting Inc
On the one hand you have former Congressmen Felix Grucci pulling out of a boat parade because it is no longer called ‘The Christmas Boat Parade’ and on the other hand we have thousands of ‘Christmas’ shoppers stampeding to death a worker to get a cheap DVD player. Originally I would have said the thousands of ‘Holiday’ shoppers, but I don’t want to take out Christmas as it would upset Mr. Grucci and other like minded Christians.
Material benefits can’t keep you happy for very long. Your worldly possessions could be your neighbor’s envy; but not the source of eternal happiness. To be happy, you need to find “treasures” that don’t come with an expiry date; these treasures give us spiritual happiness rather than physical or emotional comfort.
(Matthew 6:19-24)
Nice job Christmas shoppers, you’ve honored the name of Christ by crushing to death a man, so you could get your worshiping hands on material possessions which are pushing non-religious ideology in the form of violent, overtly sexual imagery which wash over you in a warm glow as you sit in front of the tv.
