Happy Birthday, Hedda Hopper (1890, maybe 1885 - 1966)



"In Hollywood gratitude is Public Enemy Number One."



"Nobody`s interested in sweetness and light."




"Our town worships success, the bitch goddess whose smile hides a taste for blood."



"Two of the cruelest, most primitive punishments our town deals out to those who fall from favor are the empty mailbox and the silent telephone."



"I can wear a hat or take it off, but either way it`s a conversation piece."

Captain America: the First Avenger - Two New TV Spots

Very cool.




Batman: Arkham City: The Catwoman Trailer

Wow. Cat's got my...tongue.

Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988)


There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him. – Robert Heinlein

Carl von Clausewitz (1780 - 1831)

Happy Birthday, sir!
Everything in war is very simple. But the simplest thing is difficult.
