Slog - Comments on The Day the Sixties Began http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/06/the_day_the_sixties_began I'm going over quota here, and stepping on my co-guest-sloggers' film mandate. The scene early in John Schlesinger's Billy Liar, made in England in 1963, where Julie Christie steps into the world to the sound of some flutey jazz, is the moment the 1960s began. Not the Beatles, not JFK: Julie Christie. I wish I could rip it and YouTube it, but I am too dumb. Later, Christie again shows why she shone brighter than a thousand other, supposedly prettier, girls (only Rita Tushingham can match her) in this scene with the great Tom Courtenay: LIZ: I want to marry...

Either way, ya'll got the keys to the kingdom, so why the fuck not? What did the usual staffers think would happen would happen when they let the kids into the candy shop?

Hmmmmmm....

Well.... that screenplay is as good as any I can think of.
Another score for the Narf!

I thought that was kind of interesting. Anyway, I give credit to anyone who abandons, nearly, the Hollywood industry.

Considering how much you post I am surprised you weren't asked to be a guest Slogger today.

Thank god "Mr. Poe" hasn't been asked to be a guest Slogger...total a-hole. Mr. Poe...do we really need a link to your dumbass Myspace page? Dork.

That way you can look at the face that wants nothing more than to see you die!

@14

I'm actually new to Slog. I do not deserve to be part of Freaky Friday, and after today, I don't think I would want to be. My co-worker Ms. Dutton told me to come here to get my Adrian fix ever since Dan (obviously) booted him from the paper.

I'm onto you, Savage!
