Why does Antenna TV run this show in blocks in daytime and prime time, yet bury underrated, well-written, hilarious gems like “It’s a Living” at hours when no one is awake? Thanks for validating my distaste for “Hogan Family,” which committed the sins of poor, unfunny writing; horrible theme song (“life is such a sweet inSANity!); and mistreating a legendary comedic actress whom the sophomoric show runners should have thanked their lucky stars they were able to secure for such a piss-poor project!Girl Fridaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696790060036702346.post-59761551884713360742022-12-04T03:39:33.294-08:002022-12-04T03:39:33.294-08:00Thank you.

I was actually more referencing his techniques in becoming a person of influence among much of the right, and the right-wing media that permeated a lot of streaming media. There's definitely people who've studied his playbooks and there are more than a few who've been trying to make their name on film analyses and reviews side of social influencing. (Hence my reference to his "disciples" more than him.

It never even occurred to me to find out who won. And to be honest, I don't even know who Jessica Chastain is. I had to look her up, and it turns out I have seen her in a couple of things. I didn't watch the awards this year, or the last few years. There's been more than enough boredom in my life! They need to pick up the pace of the show by cutting out the comedy monologues and production numbers. And Will Smith is a jerk. I don't care why he did what he did. He crossed over a line of decent behavior that shouldn't have been crossed. I think his punishment was appropriate. By the way, I didn't see Coda, so I can't comment on it. Of the handful of 2021 films I did see, my choice for Best Picture would have been Belfast.Mike's Movie Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15839320118431543221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696790060036702346.post-6059502011703053022021-10-05T21:24:14.807-07:002021-10-05T21:24:14.807-07:00I have no problem with subtitles when watching a g...I have no problem with subtitles when watching a great non-English speaking film. But all of that's totally irrelevant with the painfully missed original English dubbed track of "Swept Away...". It's those dubbing actors and the dialogue. Absolutely perfect-and way to perfect to care a bit about how Gianini and Melato appear when English dubbed. I just hope that the original mag tape or film still exist in usable to condition to some day get wedded to a blu ray version of "Swept Away...." I've been hating Kino for years for their BD release without this kickass English dubbed track. Without it Wertmuller's masterpiece is essentially boring.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007548640789388359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696790060036702346.post-34066940221718726882021-06-08T22:39:29.029-07:002021-06-08T22:39:29.029-07:00Oh, btw, if you ever leave a comment on my blog ag...Oh, btw, if you ever leave a comment on my blog again, I will delete it.

First of all, I f...Dear whoever the fuck you are, <br /><br />First of all, I fear for your kid growing up being as unknowing and ignorant as you. First of all, the Left is not the ones responsible for cancel culture, that's your side. You tried to cancel Colin Kaepernick, to Kathy Griffin to Rock'n'roll to gay people to any minority to anybody who even thinks about having an abortion, and frankly everybody else in between, and most of those are just in my lifetime, and you've been "Canceling" people a lot longer then that, so you don't know what you're talking about, and now your son doesn't know either, and that's the biggest tragedy of all. <br /><br />Second of all, I don't remember once saying that my kind of progressive politics is tolerant of intolerants like you. You want to quote my words back at me, fine, but don't put generalizations into my mouth that I've never claimed are there.<br /><br />Third of all, yeah, I cheered on cancer to Rush Limbaugh, and if he came back to life today and he got cancer again, I'd cheer for it again. Rush Limbaugh, among his many, many, MANY, untruths, insinuations and outright bullshit claims that he would make just for the sake of shock and ratings, said that autism was a scam. Well, my brother is severely autistic. Not the "Rain Man" kind either, and I watch him, everyday, and have since he was born, thirty years ago. I haven't been able to take the opportunities that other peers of mine have because of responsibilities I've had to him. That megalomaniac, even insinuating, that what my brother has to live with and what the love ones of those with autism have to live with, that all that is some kind of scam to get out of real life or jobs, is just about the lowest thing that anybody could say as far as I'm concerned. frankly I probably got off light compared to others he admonished over the decades, but no, when he goes after something that personal and that outrageously incorrect, about people I love, then yeah, fuck him. In a battle between cancer and Rush Limbaugh, even now that he's passed, I will take cancer every time, and don't EVER act like I should feel any shame over that again. Either at me personally as a human being, or at me politically. <br /><br />Also fuck you again. You want to take someone like Limbaugh, claim that I, and therefore, all the Progressive Left, are hypocrites because we wouldn't just blindly sob or be saddened or feel empathy at one of the most high-profile symbols of utter contempt and intolerance for us, me and my loved ones in particular, and when I give it right back to him, that I'm being the intolerant one!!!! That, because he's dying, and I should feel empathy for him no matter what else he said or did in the past? Cancer, death, nor anything else, is a Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free Card for all of one's past actions. That because I'm a leftist progressives that I should therefore not hate anyone, including people who specifically hate leftist progressives like me? <br /><br />I've had friends and family die from cancer; I know exactly what it looks like, I know how painful it is. I didn't say this erroneously and without consideration for all those involved and it's not something I'd say about every person who I might consider a personal or political enemy. I don't even wish it on you nor will I cheer for it against you, not that I will ever give much consideration of any kind after this reply, but no, I don't wish cancer on you. That is a hate I save only for those who are utterly intolerant of me, and people like my brother who literally can't speak to defend himself against evil claims like the ones Rush Limbaugh made. <br /><br />David Baruffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09554779573559438331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696790060036702346.post-2917544889491846682021-02-17T14:50:12.714-08:002021-02-17T14:50:12.714-08:00"YEAH!

(CLAP, CLAP, CLAP-CLAP-CLAP) Yeah, I don't care if I'm insensitive on this one, he claimed Michael J Fox was faking it and thinks AUTISM is a scam"<br /><br />These are the exact words of David Baruffi posted Feb 2020. What a human being David is. David was actually rooting for cancer because someone else doesn't think or vote like he does. David Baruffi is a classic specimen of a liberal- full of hate, rage, and spite. Liberals, the inventors of "cancel culture" will dispose of other people with prejudice the moment they see or hear you say something they don't like. I had my 13 year old son read David's comments, along with other "tolerant" progressives who celebrated and rooted for cancer on someone else. I wanted my son to see what the truth is about leftists. My son saw first hand the venomous, unbridled hate of progressives. I'm a proud father, my son will never be a liberal. marshill88https://www.blogger.com/profile/09142281566412169597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696790060036702346.post-40399229211361198122020-12-02T20:14:31.363-08:002020-12-02T20:14:31.363-08:00I know this very, very late, but Peacock has been ...I know this very, very late, but Peacock has been added on Roku about....I think two months ago by now (still hasn't been on Fire Stick yet, but that's why sideloading exists for a reason).

I've been a major fan of Crosy, Stills & Nash since they appeared on the scene in 1969, and Crosby's voice is so beautiful that it's haunted me for 50 years. Crosby himself, in the film, admits he has no idea why, or how, he remains alive, and why he still has a voice. I guess we can just put it down as a miracle. At any rate, I can't imagine life with Crosby or any of the other guys in the group still existing in the world. I was lucky enough to see CSN twice in my life. I still hold out hope that they can someday, somehow, work through their issues and make music together again. In the meantime, this documentary was a real pleasure to watch and I will eventually pick up a copy of it to add to my CSN collection.Mike's Movie Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15839320118431543221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696790060036702346.post-38523305534304032102019-12-30T18:52:09.220-08:002019-12-30T18:52:09.220-08:00You're welcome.

I talked about it in my Youtube video series Movies From A-Z as the film for the letter T. It was an interesting experience, although I eventually got bored from the unending processions, speeches, etc., and a little overwhelmed with the patriotic fervor. Reifenstahl appeared to have talent as a filmmaker, so it is rather sad that she used that talent for such an abominable purpose. I doubt seriously that I will ever watch the film again, but I will keep in in my collection anyway.

That's what startling to me, as well as, that this is what caused all this outburst in the press and public and now they're trying to make up for it, I think too far the other direction it seems, it's the inconsistency with both the public and the media, and that's just as problematic, and I think that's something that, just as much as anything else, need to be looked at more closely. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it.
