Rumble Fish
Rumble Fish (1983)

IMDB rating: 7.10

Plot: Rusty James is an up-and-coming street hoodlum, lamenting the salad days of the gangs when his older brother, The Motorcycle Boy, ran things as President of the Packers. Before disappearing two months earlier, Motorcycle Boy outlawed gang wars, or “rumbles,” by a treaty. When Rusty James breaks the treaty in a fight with Biff Wilcox, and gets seriously hurt, his brother suddenly appears. Distracted, delusional and enigmatic, his brother seems haunted and disinterested in his past as a “neighborhood novelty.” Over the next few days, James’ dead end life of posturing seems to fall apart; he loses his girlfriend, his friends, his own sense of confidence. The future looms like a dark, unknown wall locking James in. Through Motorcycle Boy’s example, he finally learns to break free from others’ expectations, and his own inner demons.

When Izzy is instructed by his father to take his little sister, Karin, to a double dutch tournament in which their neighbor, and Izzy’s crush, Mary, participates with her team, the “Joy Jumpers”, Izzy discovers that double dutch takes talent and creativity. Feeling the pressure of boxing, Izzy joins Mary’s double dutch team when a member quits, allowing them to compete in city’s and requests their name be changed to the “Red Hot Chillie Steppers.” They also share their first kiss on the fire escape soon after the team is completed with the addition of Izzy. While secretly practicing in the family gym one day, Rodney, the Brooklyn neighborhood bully, snaps shots of Izzy and posts them on pink paper all over school with the word LOSER written all over them. When Izzy’s father finds these papers in Izzy’s trash, he questions if that is the reason Izzy’s head has not been in the ring. Izzy learns that he needs to follow his hearts because all he will ever do involves “20% talent and 80% heart.” He learns his family will be there to support him in his decisions and he must do things because he wants to and not because it is someone else’s dream. He learns about sportsmanship and good character as well.

Are these just childish dreams ?
Hey I am a 13 year old girl form Ireland and I LOVE acting , I no it might sound so typical that a girl my age wants to get into a career like that when shes older but I don’t want to be a big Hollywood star , You see I seen the movie Chicago about a year ago and fell in love with it , I want to act onstage like Broadway style , the only problem is my singing , I can act , dance a bit but my singing is very bad . I don’t know what to do or were to start ….
I was in the National School of Performing Arts for 5 years when I was younger and in 2 plays that were voiced over by Colin Farrell , and I went to Talented Kids agency for a year .
I really have no other interested only this , the Q’s Im asking are :
Do you have any advice for me ?
Do you know where I could here about open-call auditions ?
What should I do about my singing ?
Are these just childish dreams ?

Thank you everyone
xoxo


Hey… All I can say is > if thats what your heart wants to do DO IT!

If you want to be a movie star, a beautiful voice would be a favour to the directors, however Pamela Anderson never could sing, nor Angelina Jolie… So singing isnt an issue what so ever…

Every girl at some point in their life wishes to be a movie star… and as you have already started your career process in joining acting chool and whatever… I think you have a great career inhead of you, so keep it up and I’ll look forward to seeing you on the big screen in a few years time…. xxxxxx

Movie Poll: Revolutionary Road, Road to Perdition or American Beauty?
which movie you like more?

and if you say Revolutionary Road..did you like how it ended?


The previews for Revolutionary Road looked like a quick cure for insomnia so I missed that one. Road to Perdition was just way too dark and dreary. American Beauty has it all. For one thing we get to see Kevin Spacey act his way around everyone else on the screen. I’ve seen it countless times and will watch it any time at all.

Road To Perdition is a classic.

Revolutionary Road isn’t worth the time and trouble.

Been single too long?
I have been single for 5 years (without any dates), and haven’t had sex in 4 years. It has been so long that I have all these stupid insecurities which I am sure prevent me from getting close to anyone. I am a fairly good looking guy (despite my mini-beer gut ;) and I am quite funny on occasion. Plus I am a hopeless romantic.

There is girl I really like, and who I thought liked me, but she is kinda going on a date this Friday. Should I ask her out anyway?

Also, what is the best way to build up confidence and get a date with someone I like?

I have tried dating websites and asking my female friends to "hook me up" with someone, but no luck.


wow, your hand must be tired
as long as you’re not desperate, go somewhere where everyone else is
like speed dating…
or buy a hooker
Derek | Jan 12, 2010


Why not try e-harmony.com? You really have nothing to lose. The bar scene sucks… all you meet there are losers and divorcee’s. The only other thing that I know that has worked for guys like you is to get actively involved in a church group, but obviously that isn’t everybody’s cup of tea.
mommycitajuarez | Jan 12, 2010


Ask the girl you really like out if you think she liked you, even though she is going on a date this Friday. If you’re a funny and fairly good looking guy, then you shouldn’t have much trouble. Insecurity is preventing you getting close to anyone, you have to walk away at times, and make the opposite sex want you more, if you give them too much, then you’ll lose the attraction. The best way to build up confidence is to talk to strangers! Say you’re in a shopping mall, talk to as much people as you like, talk to girls in shops etc.
HammerOfTheGodsPlantPage1969 | Jan 12, 2010


I’ve always been impressed with the BBCs Would Like to Meet programme. They have very good tips and completely transform people. You might be able to find clips on YouTube. Remember, you’re going to be out or your comfort zone to start with so keep persevering.

Also, go in with a plan. If your mates tell you to ‘just be yourself’ when you meet a woman or go on a blind date etc… DON’T as it obviously hasn’t been working for you. Sorry to say that. One technique for impressing a woman that I read about (this isn’t anything original by me) is to disagree with what they say several times then end up agreeing. They seem to like a man who can be ‘brought around’. I mentioned this to my girlfriend just the other day and she agreed immediately.

Best of luck.
Sir Fearnot | Jan 12, 2010


Guys like you are few and far between.
I was lucky enough to bag me a gentleman romantic, like yourself.

(not been in relationship for 7 years before me, gave up wanking at 3 years, apparently)
We initially met at work, then when he left, we stayed friends, and then went on from there.

We have both had issues but worked through them.

ask her anyway and show her a good time, be a gent, pay for everything, open doors for her.

Plot: Jessie is an ageing career criminal who has been in more jails, fights, schemes, and lineups than just about anyone else. His son Vito, while currently on the straight and narrow, has had a fairly shady past and is indeed no stranger to illegal activity. They both have great hope for Adam, Vito’s son and Jessie’s grandson, who is bright, good-looking, and without a criminal past. So when Adam approaches Jessie with a scheme for a burglary he’s shocked, but not necessarily disinterested….

Please help i need an answer?
My best friend loves acting she goes to every drama club in our reigon takes actng and singing lesson and read amost every book on acting aswell. She been in many plays, musicals and pantomines she loves doing them. We are all about to apply for university now and she really would like to go to an acting school. Though she won’t because her family can’t afford to go so she has applied for other courses. She also want to go and try to build herself an acting career. She is an amazing actress and singer so i suggested to start in musicals and work her way up. I also suggested that she should take a a gap year before university and try to find an agent and try to start build a career. I think she is taking a gap year but i know she has a resume but dont know if she will send it to agents. Please help me reasure her. Could you tell me if an agent would take her on with that amount experience. Also could you tell me anything else that she should know about entering into the acting business. thanks x


Does her family not have enough money to send her to a university? She could Major Theatre and Minor in Music if she goes to college. It’s important for any young actress to get experienece while in high school so she can build a solid resume. If she’s been in numerous musicals, play, pantomines and such, she HAS experience, so any agent might be proud to represent her. She can go to college, and do community theatre between time. The world of entertainment is a tough one, so your friend shouldn’t expect to land a role or job right away. Overnight success takes roughly ten years. Encourage her to continue her involvement in acting and singing, as well as applying for scholarships! :o) My theatre department holds fund raisers for camp/college sscholarships for the actors. Suggest that your school do the same if it’s not too late for you and your friend. Hopefully your friend can go to college for Theatre and get an agent, but an agent is not that important if her focus is live theatre. Do some research with her on colleges that offer excellent theatre departments. Some that I know of are Oklahoma State University, Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas (I went there for theatre camp!), Yale, Julliard, just about every school in California and tons of others! Best of luck to you and your friend!
Jess | Jan 13, 2010


Don’t interrupt education midstream. It is difficult to get back in study mode if you stay too long away. Tell her keep taking classes while acting in spare time. A degree can only help not hurt, and it serves an actor well to read a lot, write a lot, and be familiar with all aspects of the humanities.

Plot: A master chef, Kate (CATHERINE ZETA-JONES) lives her life like she runs the kitchen at upscale 22 Bleecker Restaurant in Manhattan—with a no-nonsense intensity that both captivattes and intimidates everyone around her. With breathtaking precision, she powers through each hectic shift, coordinating hundreds of meals, preparing delicate sauces, seasoning and simmering each dish to absolute perfection.

Could it be argued that white privilege banish Native Americans to reservations and blacks to be marginalized?
In sociology, marginalization is the social process of becoming or being made marginal (to relegate or confine to a lower social standing or outer limit or edge, as of social standing

Banish-means to send away from a country or state. Banish applies to forced departure from a country by official decree.

Granted both of these are interchangeable with both groups to an extent. Even in Britain blacks can live in certain places of their choosing, but don’t because of severe racial discrimination and crimes committed against them, the same can be said of Portland and other places in the US where racist white groups specifically look for non white people to harass and bully.
LOL this post has nothing to even do with Time Wise.


True. In the 50s they had redlining which meant even if you could afford to live in the area, you could not because of the racist whites.

Yes white people do discriminate. My white bf lives in a white neighborhood but when we get married I want us to live in a integrated neighborhood cause white women are jealous that I date a blonde hair blue eye white man and Im scared they may try to hurt me.
Luv Me Sum White Men | Jan 02, 2010


oh no, there have never ever been racist black groups who bully whites *cough* black panthers *cough*
wyldkatcpw | Jan 02, 2010


It is also condescending when you think it is necessary to define commonly used words.

Condescending-means showing or implying a usually patronizing descent from dignity or superiority.

Commonly-means usually; generally; ordinarily.
Tom | Jan 02, 2010


Could it be argued that your notion of white people stems entirely from your experiences on Stormfront.org?

There is still racism today but it is nothing compared to what it was like 50 years ago. Also, racism in North America is a lot worse than it is in Western Europe, probably because social reform here has always been decades ahead of America.
