The scene in "Sleepers" where Tommy Marcano and John Reilly encounter Sean Nokes in a Hell's Kitchen Pub fourteen years after their last encounter...


TOPICS: Humor
KEYWORDS: obama
(paraphrasing)

January 2015--The Impeachment:

Tommy (Capital Hill Conservative Majority): "Well, we ain't kids anymore." Obama Nokes: "Yeah, I see that--so what do you want?" John (Q Public): "What we have always wanted, for you to pay for your lies." Obama Nokes: "You guys were a bunch of scared punks, alla youz, I tried to make you tough, make you hard!" Tommy and John: "Oh, and here we thought you enjoyed beating and "bleeping" future generations!" Obama Nokes: "You're gonna burn in heck! You gonna burn in heck!" Tommy and John: "You first...BLAM!!!"

Next to the ending of “Unforgiven” the Nokes comeuppance is my all time favorite payback scene...Kevin Bacon shoulda won an Oscar for just those few minutes.

Vanity posts are like art—if you get something from them it’s wonderful if not no big deal.

Sean Nokes was a homosexual rapist (predatory pederast) who was a guard at a juvinile prison where he could ruin with impunity future generations of young boys.

Obama is now raping with impunity the futures of our younger generations by using them as collateral for his Cloward/Piven agenda.

The context helps. A little.

Granted, “Sleepers” is but a single cult classic and not a self contained parallel universe like Star Wars, Star Trek, and “ick” Twilight" where millions live vicarious lives in fantasy virtual realities.

A single cult classic not on the level of “Heavy Metal” “Rocky Horror” “Pink Flamingos” or “Erasorhead” but with equally applicable to everyday life metaphors.

Stripping away the allegory and metaphor, you are foreseeing (NOT advocating, I didn't say or even think that you are advocating) a time when the self-same people Bronco abused will give him his just reward.

I have no problem with that.

You have set them all on fire
They think they've found the new Messiah
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong

“Heaven On Their Minds” from Jesus Christ Superstar...

...perhaps our current Messiah will heed Judas’s warnings this time since HIS destiny is the exact opposite of JC’s divine fate.

You mean Woody Allen and Brad Pitt did not grow up together in Hell’s Kitchen?

;)

The analogy isn't perfect, he could do this:
Should have stayed a great unknown
But I could never see him doing this:
Like his father carving wood
He'd have made good
Tables, chairs and oaken chests
As I can't imagine him producing anything as useful as a table.

Forgot - some really great great acting in this movie with Robert De Niro, Brad Pitt, Dustin Hoffman, Jason Patric, Minnie Driver:

>>>Fourteen years later, John (Ron Eldard) and Tommy (Billy Crudup), now gangsters, find Sean Nokes in a Hell’s Kitchen pub. After reintroducing themselves to Nokes, they both shoot him dead in front of 4 witnesses. Michael (Brad Pitt), now an assistant District Attorney, arranges to be assigned to the case as the prosecution attorney, secretly intending to botch the prosecution to use it as a means of getting revenge. Moreover, he and Shakes (Jason Patric), who now works for a newspaper, begin forging a plan to get their revenge on all the guards who abused them.>>>>>

Dustin Hoffman plays the defense attorney and is a riot!!!

Makes me want to pull out my old VCR tape of the movie!
