Wonderful World

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I was watching Good Morning, Vietnam and I saw this gret juxstipostition and thought I make a movie topic. Post any really cynical or really good examples of juxtiposition.

(Yes, I'm bloody impatient in my waiting for the Hitchhiker's Guide movie.)

As for your question: I like the intro/extro movies from Fallout for it.

Ode to Jerry

My love has flew
She did me dirt
Him did not know
Her was a flirt

To those in love
Let I forbid
Lest they be doed
Like I've been did.

Joey Ramone's cover was the better version.

Was that the end credit song for Bowling for Columbine?

Not sure. Never seen it. Though, it was in the 2004 movie, "Without A Paddle".

Yup. I've never seen the movies, but Google helped me figure out the answer.

Much to my surprise, yes. Very good, actually. It wasn't the totally stupid, fuckwitted teen comedy I thought it would've been.

That song, since its use in Good Morning Vietnam that song has been used ironically more than it has been 'appropriately,' so to speak. Which I argue makes its use over violence or bad situations now 'appropriate' and use against positive backdrops is a juxtaposition. (that is to say use ironicly so often/successfully it has joined-you now relate those images with that song.)

If you're not already lost--

I believe the first instance of this transition is We're in the Money from Golddiggers of 1933. The song is sung to a Buzby Berkeley dance piece at the begining of the movie, with dancers walking around with coins and whatnot. But the song is disrupted in 'rehersal' by repo-men. Thus, the intent of the song was to be ironic-but then the song started to be associated with people who really think they just came 'into the money,' thus adding a new level of irony in using the song as it seems it indicates.

Haha, unravel that one!

Matthew Lillard, despite his roles in the *shudder* Scooby Doo movies, is actually a good actor. He was great as Steve-O in SLC Punk, and he was spot-on in Without A Paddle. Seth Green did a very good job as the very small, nerdish doctor, and the other guy... Forgot his name... Was great as the delinquent.

Of course not. It was an original. I think I came up with it in 1962 or 1963 when I was realy pissed off at Jerry.

I'll take that in considerations, I did like SLC Punk, what I saw of it.
