curiously, look you see, this post concerns something discarded. this. however, is not quite so salacious as the previous incident, to be sure. well, not overtly or directly.
yes. i have been wandering around once more. this does seem to be something i tend to do. on a recent such episode i saw something which i had to do a double take on, and then of course record it to share here.
record it by means of taking an image. and, unless i am mistaken, this is the first image shared here off of my new phone what has a camera welded to it. the screen packed in on the other one.
indeed, i was walking around one of the more affluent challenged areas of our fine world; a location where seeing items discarded is not so surprising. quite a shame to see it, but alas not of any great surprise.
what you may have worked out was that this was all on a particularly wet day. it was raining and that, and quite nippy, so a splendid classic traditional English day. they say, however, that you instinctively see things which appeal to you. from some distance, and in the wet, my attention was drawn to the title on this snapped, broken and discarded DVD.
hopefully you can make out the title in the above. this new camera seems splendid, but i have had to compress the image from the original 6MB file size to make it easier for you to load up. anyway, should you not be able to make it out, or rather like my saying things, this is, or rather was, either a perfectly legal back up copy or a less than legal "pirate" copy of the film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
it made me quite sad to see a copy of this most splendid film just smashed up and thrown away. really, it did. for no reason at all can i think of any concern that would cause someone to dislike the film. it was most splendid.
my (considerably) better half and i went to see this one at the cinema. the movies, the pictures, etc. i remember it distinctly, for it was the last thing we did when we were just two. James came along just a few days after we went and saw it. yes, obviously we were expecting him to do so.
that's another element, or if you like shard, of the disc i spotted later. quite spread out, the broken disc was. someone really wished to make sure it was all smashed up, which is very sad.
if i remember right, it was the last film Robert Downey jnr did just before his full tilt revival as a popular figure with the first of them Iron Man films, although he may have done that tele show about the lawyer, Ally something, in between. as far as i am concerned, he, Val Kilmer, the rest of the cast, the writer and director and the film entire should have got a lot more praise and adulation than they did. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is an ace film.
for those of you who are trivia fans, the title Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is off of Japan. apparently the Japanese translated the title of the first James Bond (proper) film, Dr No, as Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, no, absolutely no idea how they did that.
anyway, if you have a copy of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, please don't waste it in this way. the film, as i have mentioned in passing here, is wonderful. rather just pass the disc on to someone else to enjoy.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
