What's the movie that you watch over and over?
GuyKeith comments on Nov 30, 2018:
I often watch my favorite holiday movies over and over again: A Christmas Story, varioius Scrooge classics, Miracle on 34th St., Christmas Vacation. Other, non-holiday movies are: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Glengarry Glen Ross, Withnail & I, Life of Brian, Alien, Once Upon A Time In The ...

@TristanNuvo, @Xanadutoo "and to think of what careers came of all of them." Brad Dexter never had another starring role, and his only other supporting lead was in Von Ryan's express again at the insistence of Frank Sinatra (Who pushed for his role in M7 because he owed him a favour, allegedly that Dexter had once saved Sinatra's life in a drowning incident)

@TristanNuvo Steve McQueen's first starring role in a Movie was "The Blob" 1958 and his film debut was a year before that in Never Love a Stranger (1958 ) Face of a Fugitive (1959) was Coburn's first feature, but M7 was his first starring role.

If I am down, or upset I have two go to cheer me up films Life of Brian 1979 and Mouse on the Moon 1963
LenHazell53 replies on Nov 30, 2018:
@GuyKeith Mouse is based on the satirical novel of the same name by Leonard Wibberly, the second in his five novel epic about the tiniest nation in the the world "The Duchy of Grand Fenwick". who by turns accidentally win world war three, win the space race, bankrupt wall street and somewhat prophetically save the USA from an insane president. It boast an adaption by Michael Pertwee, Richard Lester direction, music by the great Ron Grainger and a cast that reads like a whose who of British comedy. It is nothing special on the face of it, but has moments of brilliance and near genius that are far beyond what you expect to find in a cheap British comedy B feature.

LenHazell53 replies on Nov 30, 2018:
@MrLizard Actually it is an incorrect biblical translation, when a copy of the revelation of St.John was found dating from the fifth century AD/CE it turns out the number of the beast is actually 616 but that esoterically the number was thought to be so dangerous it was hidden so that corrupt Priest would not use it to over throw the church from about the seventh or eighth century. Another theory however is that in Hebrew letters are also numbers , the Hebrew letter for D = ך is also the number 6 therefore ךךך = 666 however this word has various meanings when taken as letters, one of which is by his command, or by your command an epithet for for ruler or emperor and so was being used as code for the Roman emperor (Nero at the time of authorship). 616 however is ךא‬ך Rach which can among other things mean Revenge.

@Qualia I agree that on line bullying even of an unpleasant person like her is not right, but for years she made a living out of publicly man bashing, promoting the idea that all men are rapist, even in one case advocating the idea that all men should be interned and used as sperm banks. She was a professional troll, she then is surprised when people hate her back and plays the victim. She is a prime example of exactly what I was talking about, a person who has become a symbol, some one rude, loud, crass, filled with hate, who's good ideas are lost in the swamp of attention seeking trolling and talking over people with declarations of loud and emotive word such as "Verbal Rapist, toxic masculinity, mansplaining" and the idea that women can never be wrong by virtue of of being female alone. I have not kept up with her later exploits as I find her poor rhetoric and lack of manners offensive, so I thank you for the up date, but perhaps you might concede that for one person to engender such foul behaviour from equal foul other people is a case of birds of a feather flocking together, like attracts like. I do empathise, and even sympathize but again the hate thrown at Richard Dawkins was equally as bad and he paraded his trolls and laughed at them, used his own name and never ran away and cried victim. The only difference between them was courage of their own convictions.

LenHazell53 replies on Nov 22, 2018:
@Qualia I am sorry if I was not clear, I'll try to be clearer. The easiest way to undermine any designation is to apply it to the worst form of the original meaning and encourage those who tarnish an ideology to seize it for themselves. You ask who benefits? Those who wish to discredit the ideology. Those who want to be able to hold up an unpleasant individual as a symbol for the whole movement. "Big Red" (Chanty Binx) is a feminist, therefore all feminists are like "Big Red" This is why in the UK many, many women refuse to be called feminists, not because they don't want to be treated as equal, but because they don't want to be thought of as loud mouth obnoxious people who have no idea what they are talking about such as Chanty Binx. It is the same as the word liberal, in Europe and the UK it still holds it's of original meaning in politics of slightly centre left, ideology. In America to say you are a liberal is to label your self a left wing militant lunatic. For years I was a proud feminist and was never afraid to call myself one or to be an activist in the cause of feminism. Today, I would not associate myself with the public face of modern third wave feminists, they are against everything I and my colleagues fought for in the 60's and seventies, they seek not equality but superiority, not justice but revenge, not change but revolution and not sisterhood but matriarchy. That is not what feminism actually means, but it is what it has come to mean in the hands of totalitarians so I no longer call myself a feminist for the sake of clarity, I am a civil rights activist, a believer in social equality for all and supporter of free speech and expression.

Now I can see it coming true in real life, and what is worse people are taking it seriously. (By the way don't confuse the TV series "Whoops apocalypse" with the film of the same name)

As far as I am concerned, this is the greatest Christmas Movie ever made.
LenHazell53 comments on Nov 17, 2018:
Much as I love Darren McGavin, I could never stomach this film, but that is not uncommon for me, I find most Christmas stories sentimental and nauseating. Years ago I played Scrooge in a school musical and tried to follow it up the following year with a Scrooge 2 written by myself feature Scrooge ...

TristanNuvo comments on Nov 17, 2018:
Not only the best Christmas movie ever, but up there with some of the best movie stories as well. I don't remember the line, but it was something like, "Oh fudge" but that's not what I really said. and the next scene you see Ralphy with a bar of soap in his mouth. Fucking classic.

I do not understand you mean there is no overstand.I have always wondered it would make it so easy.LOL
LenHazell53 replies on Nov 15, 2018:
It is because undertstand has nothing to do with under, it was originally antarstandan a Sanskrit word meaning to be in the midst of knowledge. English has so many contributory languages it is inevitable that often homonyms and homophones occur

ancillaries is the plural of ancillary, it would be Ancillaria if it was a Greek derived word, but it is Latin.

Gruntled (adjective) pleased, satisfied and contented.
LenHazell53 comments on Nov 13, 2018:
It is one of those words were the antonym (disgruntled) is still very popular but the original adjective is not.
LenHazell53 replies on Nov 14, 2018:
@Tampabrew Gruntle dates from the 17th century and its proto word gruntelen, dates from at least the 15th century, both words originally used to onomatopoeically describe both chortling and grumbling or any other guttural throat noise. In time Gruntle coming to mean amused and the created antonym disgruntled to mean annoyed or grumble-some I don't know where you are getting 1926 from.

I suppose you think Uncle Tom's cabin was a pro slavery book too, you uneducated moron.
