Hell Hath No Fury

I came across this quote and it really struck me as . . . as what? Profound? Confusing? Something, but I don't know what.

"No Biblical hell could ever be worse than the state of perpetual inconsequence." Dangerous Beauty

Or perhaps I have long been inured to being of no great consquence, but then I never aspired to be, or am I lying now? I never saw the movie.

Movies, Trivia & the Internet

I have got too much to do. I am also easily distracted, perhaps because I cannot decide what I should be working on, or perhaps because none of it is in the least interesting. The internet is way more interesting. I only have to poke around for a few minutes and I come across a gem like this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highest_grossing_film_series#Highest_grossing_film_series

which I naturally had to read. It does make interesting reading, after a fashion. I have seen all of the top grossers since 1980, and many of the earlier ones. Looking at the gross amounts, it's interesting to see that some really jump out. And is it "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"
or "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"?

Should I cut the blue wire or the red wire?

Should I cut the blue wire or the red wire? I think I may have found the origin of this phrase: Juggernaut with Richard Harris, Omar Sharif and Anothony Hopkins made in 1974. Just got done watching it on TV this afternoon. Looking for a little more about this movie I found this list of quotes. Some of them are pretty good.
