Red "Delicious" Apples - Page 2

"...I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore! Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore! Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis [and the apples]. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it:I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

I agree with Cloud.
Great flick Flint... some idiot will probably remake it next week.
I'm a Washington fan.
I also like to eat baking apples.

Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros
Lord, there goes Johnny Appleseed
He might pass by in the hour of need
There's a lot of souls
Ain't drinking from no well locked in a factory

Hey - look there goes
Hey - look there goes
If you're after getting the honey - hey
Then you don't go killing all the bees

Lord, there goes Martin Luther King
Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring
I hear what you're saying, I hear what he's saying
*Is what was true now no longer so

Hey - I hear what you're saying
Hey - I hear what he's saying
If you're after getting the honey - hey
Then you don't go killing all the bees

What the people are saying
And we know every road - go, go
What the people are saying
There ain't no berries on the trees

Let the summertime sun
Fall on the apple - fall on the apple

Lord, there goes a Buick forty-nine
Black sheep of the angels riding, riding down the line
We think there is a soul, we don't know
That soul is hard to find

Hey - down along the road
Hey - down along the road
If you're after getting the honey
Then you don't go killing all the bees

Hey - it's what the people are saying
It's what the people are saying
Hey - there ain't no berries on the trees
Hey - that's what the people are saying, no berries on the trees
You're checking out the honey, baby
You had to go killin' all the bees

"You're television incarnate, Diana..."

"Why don't we just kill the sonofabitch?"

"Give her the f*cking residuals!"

Oh, yeah. One of the greatest films of all time, and if someone tries to remake it, I'm going to rip out my eyeballs and mail them to the producer.

Flint · 02-02-2007, 03:01 PM

Can you imagine the re-spinning this film would get via "committee" decision, in order to be what they think the audience is capable of understanding these days? They really would have to just put a new title on it, I don't think they remember how to make movies like this.

I will say... I wouldn't mind if Richard Linklater (Scanner Darkly, Waking Life) did it.

One word, for eating and cooking.

Honeycrisp.

That is all.

Honeycrisp is the most amazing thing to come down the apple road. They are the best. They can keep up to 7 months with no deterioration if kept at 99% humidity and 32f.

I once met an apple grower who told me the red delicious cross was beautiful, travelled well, and had a reasonable shelf life at room temp, only it taasted like wet cardboard. So they hired a marketing company who came up with the orwellian name "Delicious". It's still going downhill as far as veracity is concerned.

Although, "honeycrisp" actually barely covers how amazing this apple is, especially when cold. Don't even bother eating apples if you aren't buying directly from the orchard. I'm serious. get fresh or get lost.

EAT THE FOOD!!!

What about the "Golden Delicious"?

I use to like Grannies (no pun intended)

but prefer Elstars now.
