In the final paragraph of my immediately preceding blog (Sept. 28th, "Politics for Dummies"), I observed how, for some reason I didn't particularly get, there were several shows that had recently incorporated references to Sean Daniel movies ("Animal House" and "The Jackal"). These were objective observations anyone might have made, anyone familiar with certain public knowledge:
- The Bishop scene in "Animal House" (John Belushi smashes Stephen Bishop's guitar as he sits playing on a staircase) showed up via a scene on Leno featuring Sheryl Crow and Ed Helms (which I was bound to watch, as I had shortly before that mentioned in my blogs some Sheryl Crow stuff in relation to me).
- On Saturday Night Live's season premiere almost a week ago, a reference to the Jack Black scene in Sean Daniel's "The Jackal" (in their takeoff on the recent Stallone movie).
Before you have enough to go on, I would have to ask that you look at my August 13, 2008 blog, "A Piece of the Mask" (also at Archive.Org as part of Volume 1 of my collected blog articles, therefore a matter of record that I couldn't have written it after the date Volume 1 was published). In Item 2 of that blog article, I note special inside-reference significance to someone, in the role of rescuer, standing over a person who had just been knocked to the ground. Specifically, the blog article describes this action with regard to scenes involving Jack Black, including reference to the movie, "Tenancious D And The Pick Of DESTINY".
And so, I now give you this videoclip of moments from tonight's "Smallville," which include
- Someone, in the role of rescuer, standing over someone who had just been knocked to the ground
- A situation that brings the movie "The Jackal" to mind
- A discussion of Destiny
Also of interest is that this same DESTINY discussion scene in "Smallville" ends with the introduction of the word "superman" to "Smallville" (I end the above videoclip right before Lois Lane provides the translation for the German version of this word). Whatever you wish to attach to the appearance of "superman" here.
