Richard E. Grant

David Jura likes Richard E. Grant. No, David Jura does not know Richard E. Grant personally, though he thanks you for thinking that he is that type of person that would know Richard E. Grant personally. Only very, very lucky people (very lucky people) are ever given an audience with Sir E. Grant. However, you can be an audience member and watch a movie that stars Richard E. Grant. Like perhaps Withnail & I. It isn't even close to being anywhere near as good as being with the real thing. And by thing, I mean person. His person, specifically. What, with his lime-scented cologne, tweed handkerchiefs, and insect-like wit? 

But even a facsimile, even one sent through a dirty fax machine, is better than not having a dirty facsimile at all. Always lookin' on the bright side, he is. That is, David Jura is. Existing? Yes. But also looking on the bright side. Always. 

Babatunde Olatunji

David Jura likes Babatunde Olatunji. David Jura likes to listen to Babatunde Olatunji. David Jura likes to say the words Babatunde Olatunji. Say it. Say 'Babatunde Olatunji'. Did you do it? Did you say it? Why not? You don't like Babatunde Olatunji? Why don't you like Babatunde Olatunji? David Jura likes Babatunde Olatunji. And if David Jura likes something, so should you.

Fishing with John

David Jura likes 'Fishing with John' though David Jura has never fished with John. Perhaps David Jura should say that he likes watching 'Fishing with John' instead? But then, why would he do that when he can just type that same phrase into this blog entry here. David Jura is not sure, but just to be sure, he says "David Jura likes watching Fishing with John" out loud. Just now. He said that just now.

Wild at Heart

David Jura likes 'Wild at Heart'. Like he likes-it likes-it. He likes it more than any other movie. He didn't like it at first. In fact, David Jura DID NOT LIKE IT AT ALL. He thought it was the most nihilistic movie ever made. And David Jura did not even know what that word meant at the time. In fact, he still doesn't. 

David Jura was angry at the world for creating such an abomination. But then he saw it again and then his mind changed completely. And then he saw it again and things in David Jura's head began to click and turn and whirr. And then he saw it again and he discovered it was the best movie ever made.

The lesson here is that sometimes when David Jura hates something it means he likes it more than anything else.
