What i'm realizing as i get older is that a movie's mainstream success is just as unpredictable as a movie's cult success. plenty of movies that are truly odd and deserve cults, don't have cults. it's just as much of a crapshoot to be a cult hit as it is to be a mainstream success. isn't that weird?

Do not get into a fight if you can possibly avoid it. if you get in, see it through. don't hit if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting, but never hit soft. don't hit at all if you can help it; don't hit a man if you can possibly avoid it; but if you do hit him, put him to sleep.
