Sands Of Time Scattered To The Wind

I Wish You Could Read
In this blog I will be primarily making the point that there is an extremely significant moment in the new Ridley Scott/Russell Crowe movie, "Robin Hood", wherein I specially share this moment with the film's creator. Either you will register this point, or you won't bother to put it together, whichever suits you.

This could be quite simple, but please, hold still, see the movie, that will help you get the point, I mean it.

I shall begin with my March 15, 2009 blog. This blog is also posted at archive.org, therefore, it is verifiable that I wrote it a while back (though not posted there on the same date I wrote it). And I know that the videoclip that blog contains is not posted at archive.org, only the blog's text. However, if you see the idea behind the videoclip, which includes material of mine posted at archive.org in 2005 (taken from my 1998 video, "Gosk 2"), you should be able to determine that the bases for what I chose to have it include are clear and would be just as recognizable even if I made that videoclip yesterday: I point out that practically every year Russell Crowe makes a movie with Ridley Scott (fact); that Ridley Scott's former assistant (and that of Ridley's brother, Tony), Terrance Williams, is in my "Gosk 2" video (fact, but one most cannot verify); and I point out that I am repeatedly provided opportunities to identify elements in the directorial work of the Scott brothers that correlate to elements in my work (fact, but the degree to which you recognize this as fact depends on your following the numerous presentations of instances of this). I also state that, though the Russell Crowe movie, "3:10 To Yuma", is not directed by Ridley Scott, it would follow that, if there is a similar such correlation to be made between something in it and something in my material, it would be something to view in the context of the Scott/Crowe relationship to my material.

That said, if you have seen the videoclip included in that 3.15.09 blog, and you have seen "Robin Hood" (Scott/Crowe), you already know the correlation to be made between a key moment in "Robin Hood" and a moment in "Gosk 2" featuring the person I assert as being the former assistant to Scott.

Can I discuss how important a moment it is in "Robin Hood" without ruining the movie? Let me put it this way: it establishes the legendary outlaw hero aspect of the Robin Hood character, and thereby fuses the character in the movie to the myth. And is essentially the film's ending. And it draws from the identical action I drew attention to in relation to Russell Crowe, in my March 15, 2009 blog's videoclip. A videoclip based on a similarity between my 2005 posting of "Gosk 2" and something that occurs in the Russell Crowe movie, "3:10 To Yuma".

Pelham 10, 9, 8
I've just posted on YouTube, "Pelham 10, 9, 8", wherein I correlate something from Tony Scott's "Pelham 123" with this same scene from "Gosk 2" that features Tony and Ridley Scott's former assistant, Terrance Williams. I first referred to this correlation in my June 14, 2009 blog, however, my point now benefits from my having been able to edit together the two scenes.

Count On It
A Rolling Stone article written yesterday regarding Paul McCartney's webchat has him saying his favorite book is Charles Dickens' Nicholas Nickelby, and that, "It's long but I really love it!" Of all the people I can think of to focus on the idea of a book being particularly long, and yet failing to state specifically whether it's a thousand pages or 15, oh well, it's not worth going on and on about I suppose. I'm sure it will have a positive effect on Dickens' career, heaven knows, I'm sure he can use the money. I hate to see someone drown like that.
