Happy 4th! Let's blow shit up! And then...

This is Awesome! Women's independence and the separation of the American colonies from Great Britain. You have to see this and the reference to Ed at the end!
I met Shelley Winters a few weeks before she died in the Silver Spoon in West Hollywood when she said to me, "I'll trade you my Eggs Benedict for your slice of watermellon, honey!" Then she told me she was tired of the company at her table and wanted to eat with me instead. She was hilarious and Oliver Reed rocked!
Why is the 4th of July important in this Kubrick film? Because there is no independence for Jack's soul. He's doomed to be the caretaker forever and ever.
"The most enduring myth about Independence Day is that Congress signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The myth had become so firmly established that, decades after the event and nearing the end of their lives, even the elderly Thomas Jefferson and John Adams had come to believe that they and the other delegates had signed the Declaration on the fourth. Most delegates actually signed the Declaration on August 2, 1776. In a remarkable series of coincidences, both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, two founding fathers of the United States and the only two men who signed the Declaration of Independence to become president, died on the same day: July 4, 1826, which was the United States' 50th anniversary. President James Monroe died exactly five years later, on July 4, 1831, but he was not a signatory to the Declaration of Independence."
