Californication - Surfer Girl - Rome is Burning scene

[joaquimcaa]

great tv show, and an awesome rock band to quote

[wsalviso]

cool, can i watch this too for free?



[rocaho001]

the fact that she stole his book bugs the shit out of me so much that I found myself thinking about it at random times during my day. Why did she have to friggin do it?

[tmanran]

@rocaho001 Because she's a woman. Women are like hurricanes. When they show up, they're wet and wild. And then, when they leave, they take your car and your house.

[rocaho001]

@tmanran :( But why does it bug me so much when I know it's fictional?

[arifisik]

"Here we are at the edge of the world, very edge of western civilization and all of us are so desperate to feel something, anything that we keep falling into each other and fucking our way towards the end of days."

This is just as good as the letter that Hank wrote for Karen.

[mclarenf45]

@arifisik Dickhead that was already written by the rock band rhcp in the song 'Californification' !

[arifisik]

@mclarenf45 educate me please. Apart from the lyrics "It's the edge of the world

and all of western civilization" what else does RHCP says in its song that resembles what I quoted?

[mclarenf45]

@arifisik how about the title of the song ?? the writers just added the additional stuff which is the basis of the script.

[Magombo1]

I come back here and watch this when my 'existential angst' meter is running low

thanks for listening

PG

[roa345]

which chapter is this?? great video! cute and sexy woman

[dt089]

That might be the perfect chick, "You wana get high and listen to some records?". Then they fuck.

[norcoboy]

Does anyone know the reference of 'rome is burning?'

please let me know

[tmanran]

@norcoboy - basically it means "the whole world is crazy" or "what great decadence this is, that is coming to an end" A big fire was started in Rome in AD 64 which burned a LOT of the city.

[stagno182]

@norcoboy tmanran is right about the historical aspect but the casual remarking of the event and "pouring another drink" refers to a legend that during the sack of Rome, Emperor Nero was calmly playing the lyre and singing a song about the sack of Troy. It's really a statement about the sordid set of affairs in the world and, realistically, what little can be done about them. You might as well have another drink and watch it burn.

whats that song in the beginning?

[faro949]

I agree, this is the best scene of Cali. The people writing the texts are true artists, the dialogue in the entire series is so, so good. Granted, Duchovny plays the Hank part excellently. I cannot imagine, however, this series without brilliant little pieces of text like this. This is what makes me come back for more .. can't wait for Season 4.

[tmanran]

Oh thank you. Yes, this song version is Pat Guadagno - Don't Let Us Get Sick

[hugomaferreira]

This is not warren zevon, this is pat guadagno version

[mirrorimage345]

this is totally what the third season was missing. I hope the writers make up for it in the 4th season.

[smkymcnugget420]

@mirrorimage345 What's missing? the "existential angst" ? I thought season 3 was pretty good.

[mirrorimage345]

@smkymcnugget420 I will agree that season 3 had its moments. But there was something about the 1st and 2nd season that was magic. The blog for Hell-A magazine is an example and the opening for the last episode of season 2 where Hank finishes the Ashby book. Snippets where you hear the inner dialogue of this writer and his journey. Hopefully some of these things will be resurrected in the coming season.

[gerjor]

what version is this? who sings it?

[lavecjr]

this is the best scene of the whole series... mia can friggin write!! she didnt need to steal hanks book

[wsalviso]

@lavecjr If you're reading this, it means I actually worked up the courage to give it. So, good for me. You don't know me very well, but if you get me started I have a tendency to go on and on about how hard the writing is for me. But this... this is the hardest thing .........no this was nice too hanks letter

[lavecjr]

@wsalviso what?!
