You Need to Eat Bitter to Taste Sweet*

Now that I've depressed everyone, let me link this bit from KerrySpot showing that Bush leads in all tracking polls released this morning.


Ace, I like you, but I don't like-like you.
I'm sorry, but all I can offer you is a purely
physical relationship.

* If anyone knows what movie this is from, I swear, I will literally plotz.

Literally.

And I don't know what plotz means exactly, so it's going to be tricky.

Oh man, what the heck was that movie? Was it the one with the figure skaters?

Fear not the voters, but the frauds. I don't know if the futures markets have dope on fraud prospects, but they sure like Dubya's:

Is it from George C. Scott's big speech at the start of "Patton"?

Waynes world 2?

Posted by: A-AMISH on November 2, 2004 12:27 PM

It's taken from the movie "Tootsie", imo.

Posted by: Ken on November 2, 2004 12:30 PM

Nope, nope, nope.

I'll give a hint: It's from a small-budget, virtually unknown but critically-well-regarded martial arts film/drama.

Karate Kid 3?

Posted by: jamie r. on November 2, 2004 12:45 PM

Ah-hem.

Jamie, I don't think Karate Kid 3 was critically well-regarded.

Wasn't that the one with the insane pony-tailed global mogul who just also happened to be a karate master?

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story?

Posted by: Mike M on November 2, 2004 12:53 PM

Are you sure it wasn't The Sphynx from Mystery Men?

Posted by: David on November 2, 2004 12:53 PM

I would venture that the early polls trend for Bush because of people voting before they go to work. The Core Dems (aka 'jobless wonders') are having breakfast right now (they just crawled up from their parents basements a few minutes ago).

CBS of course will announce several states for Kerry at 5 pm ET, even though the polls will still be open for hours.

Posted by: lauraw on November 2, 2004 12:54 PM

Yep, that's the one.

I suppose if he, uh, mogulled at an early age, he'd have a lot of free time for training.

Posted by: jamie r. on November 2, 2004 12:57 PM

"plotz"=simultaneously imploding and exploding

T'ain't pretty.

The movie is Tuff Turf. This sicko:
http://www.kimrichards.net/start.html
Has about fifteen million pics from all her movies, with about 200 from that particular one. Go crazy, Ace.

Posted by: McGurk on November 2, 2004 01:11 PM

The movie is Tuff Turf

C'mon, now. Can't be. That would be a cosmic coincidence of frightening dimensions.

The movie I'm getting it from is, um, well gee, I forget the title now, and I can't seem to google it up. I thought it was Lace and Steel, or Steel and Lace, or something similar to that (steel and something which is soft and used in martial arts), but Lace and Steel seems to be the title of an entirely different movie.

Anyone know what the hell I'm talking about? It's an early-nineties semi-autobiographica. independent movie which about a young man's journey to China with the backdrop of the cultural opening of the eighties, and then the closing of that openness, mixed with martial arts training (and fights), and starring an actual big-time martial arts instructor as his instructor in the film (who was also his instructor in real life, IIRC). I think that cat's name was Master Pan-- Master somebody, at least.

Posted by: ace on November 2, 2004 01:33 PM

Okay, I found it. It's Iron and Silk.

Pretty close to Steel and Lace.

Good movie, if an odd one, and low-budget starring no one at all.

Mr. Plotz: he was the director of the Warner Bros. studios

Here's a clip

There was fear aplenty. But the truth is, a lot of the panic Americans saw on television was performative. The throngs of people along Convention Center Boulevard sat patiently in the broiling weather, five or six deep in folding chairs on the sidewalk, waiting for something, someone, to arrive. Then, a television crew or photographer would show up, and people would pour into the street, falling on their knees, screaming and gesticulating to the camera. It was an awful situation, obviously, but when the camera wasn't on them, it was remarkable how patient and orderly everyone was.
