      My band my band

      There are still 170 kilometers to Chicago, the fuel tank is full, and half a pack of cigarettes. It’s dark now. We wear sunglasses to

      pose the


      white people are too embarrassing and narrow. They can’t sing sorrows. They have to sing the country, so we just sang the first song. Frankie Lane's whip song, and later the boss asked them to sing the remains of the old ninety-seven. Think about Johnny Kasho is still pretty awesome, splitting a big cross.

      gigs must on

      You can't help but say whether it's good or bad, and see for yourself.
      Everyone can tell that the owner of the musical instrument shop is the blind pianist Ray Charles who died a few years earlier.
      In fact, there are a few small supporting roles with a history.
      The priest in the church, the
      old man in the orphanage , James Brown. CAB CALLOWAY. If I hadn't listened to Dizzy Gillespie, I wouldn't know who this person was.

      "we're on a mission from God."

      Elwood: Ow, you fat penguin!
      Jake: Ya see, me and the Lord have an understanding.
      Curtis: Boys, you got to learn not to talk to nuns that way.

      Mrs. Murphy: Help you two?
      Elwood: Do you have any white bread ma'am?
      Mrs. Murphy: Yeah.
      Elwood: I'll have some toasted white bread please.
      Mrs. Murphy: You want butter or jam on that, honey?
      Elwood: No ma'am, dry.
      Jake: Do you have any fried chicken ma'am?
      Mrs. Murphy: Best damned chicken...

      Swing with the rhythm of the blues

      81 years of film, NB is a mess. Want to know what blues music is? Want to enjoy the performance of "The King of Soul Singer" Ray Charles? Go find this film!

      The plot of the film is very simple. In order to collect a sum of money for the orphanage that raised them and give it to the tax bureau, Jack, who had just been released from prison, and Aywood were determined to recall the members of the blues band to raise funds through performances. So, in the process, a series of...

      The legendary sky stick

      1. Space design, shooting angle, unique 2. Nervous 3. The setting of this prison, criminals, and nuns is a bit like LD1 4. So joyful =_= 5. Make a big shopping mall 6. The red car girl is so powerful 7. Cold and weird black sense of humor 8. The Bruce Brothers 9. It seems to be an impromptu 10. Barbed wire is used to block wine bottles... ahem 11. Such a bar has a good atmosphere 12. We are sent by God 13. Scene change 14. Don't mess with beautiful women 15. Subjective lens 16. Absurd...

      I really can't appreciate music movies. Brain damage, trouble, there are probably a lot of stalks that can only be seen by people who love music. As for me, music blind, it is really...

    Evaluation action

    Don’t care about the plot of "Fu Lu Shuang Batian", as long as you think about how many comedy movies in the United States were done in the 1980s, the film is also very worthy of fun. From the beginning of the film, the appearance of the two protagonists in the British style will attract the audience by their costumes. The two protagonists are full of funny feelings between their hands and feet, which seems to be reminiscent of the...

    Movie quotes

    • Sister Mary Stigmata: [after chasing Jake and Elwood out of her office with a ruler for using foul language] You are such a disappointing pair. I prayed so hard for you. It saddens and hurts me that the two young men whom I raised to believe in the Ten Commandments have returned to me as two thieves, with filthy mouths and bad attitudes.

      [pauses and points at them]

      Sister Mary Stigmata: Get out, and don't come back until you've redeemed yourselves.

    • Elwood: Tonight only, the fabulous Blues Brothers. Rhythm and Blues review. The Palace Hotel Ballroom. Route 16. Lake Wazzapamani. The fabulous Blues Brothers show band and review.

    • [first lines]

      Prison Guard #1: Yeah, the Assistant Warden wants this one out of the block early. Wants to get it over with fast.

      Prison Guard #2: Okay, let's do it.

      [rattling the bars with his baton]

      Prison Guard #1: Hey come on, it's time to wake up.

      Prison Guard #2: Wake up. Let's go, it's time.
