That was my experiences with movies such as The Godfather 1 & 2, The lives of others and City of God. So id say no.

More seriously, i don't remember ADHD being a thing when i was a kid, don't recall any of my friends or schoolmate taking pills for it, im 40 btw. Did the ADHA phenomenon (not the actual clinical definition, im sure it existed already) only started in the 90's?

Brain injuries are such a sad subject. Let's keep focused on movies...

Dances with Wolves was vastly inferior to the movie that it ripped-off: Little Big Man.

Real brain injuries certainly are, but ADHD is one of those diagnoses which became fashionable in the 90s so parents could give their kids a prescription rather than let them give up one of their two sports clubs and their Saturday job at Walmart, or forbidding them to take their gsm to bed so they can text their mates at night, all the while expecting them to do their homework.

Oh, it existed. I've always had the attention span of a gnat, and had such diagnosis existed back then (I'm 50) I'm sure I would have been diagnosed and possibly medicated. Glad I wasn't, really. A lot of things that used to be quirks are now cause for doctors and drugs, and what used to be fun and hijinks are now misdemeanors and felonies.

I wasn't talking about ADHD, I was talking about almost forgetting to open another beer. It's the part in italic in your comment I quoted.

I love how people jumped on the highly improbable pizzagate and dialed it up to 11, but the very real possibility (investigated by several intelligence agencies) that the current administration colluded with a hostile foreign power to win the election merits a "meh, fake news."

Anjuli has been naughty. Even newly reformed bigot SteveOr is giving her a hard time.
http://freethoughtblogs.com/anjuli/2017 ... en-racist/

Anjuli Pandavar, I think you are better than this, know better than this. Sorry. I don’t mean to pile on – although mea culpa I kinda am doing so I know – and I don’t think you are a bad person but, well, I do ask that you reconsider this please.

Further they are giving her shit for quoting Katie Hopkins, while over time bloggers like Marcus Ranum, Great American Satan, and Mano Singham have repeatedly and uncritically quoted stories from Russia Today, Putin's fave propaganda outlet. Lately they haven't quoted it though possibly because of the support RT has given to Trump.

Well not necessarily the song but the 2 movies. Although Jon Bon Jovi did a good job, ive watched the music video more times than i should admit. Same for You Could Be Mine by G&R for Terminator 2.

#6568

The Young Guns movies were both more than acceptable. The cast and soundtrack were brilliant. Scripts were ok too.

At this rate I'm gonna have to make my list at least a 20-items one.

I like that Western where John Wayne tells Jesus to get off of his cross and drink his milk.

I met an attorney at an art event. She's running a background check on me today, to help me fix my no-valid-IDs problem. Just learned I'm wanted in Colorado for illegal swimming, since 1991.

It never occurred! Must be an error in the citation. However I -was- hiking with a friend at Red Rocks mountain park. Old PZ Myers-lookin' dude was standing in the trail ahead, masturbating. So we went perpendicular off the trail, down a rock slope. Cop saw us & gave a ticket for illegal climbing. Or, apparently, swimming.

Being a perfectionist, George Stevens did many takes of John Wayne's single line, "Truly, this man was the son of God." A rumor has long persisted that at one stage Stevens pleaded with Wayne to show more emotion, an overwhelming sense of awe. During the next take, Wayne changed the line to, "Aw, truly this man was the son of God."

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059245/tri ... =tr0717098

But he could play John Wayne like no one else. And Genghis Khan :lol:

Saw Hidden Figures today. I liked it. It was a little heavy handed with its inspirational speeches and dialogues but given the subject matter and period, I gave it a pass. It had one moment where I silently called out bullshit but otherwise I enjoyed the movie.

Folks out there need to look into it. See what they see. Decide for yourself. Make your voice heard.

Well after them making all of that racket, I did look into it. The only pedophiles that they had identified had already been arrested and convicted. I searched for their best evidence. One of their supporters told me to 'Google it.' After identifying their main case and wasting my time, it became evident that they are all (aside from the trolling channers taking these nuts for a ride) a bunch of conspiracy nutards running off with the absolute flimsiest of cases. Pizzagate is exactly what they appear on the surface. Fucking insane nuts who have got absolutely nothing.

I liked their use of mortars for executions. Although the open casket funeral afterwards was in poor taste.

#6587

So if westerns fit with a certain time and place - there are also other themes that must be included for a story to qualify.

For instance

The Baron of Arizona - not a western
Huckleberry Finn / Tom Sawyer - not westerns (in any of their forms)
An Occurance at Owl Creek - not a western
The Beguiled - not a western

Very interesting piece of writing on the influence of postmodernism on the humanities:

https://areomagazine.com/2017/03/27/how ... explained/

We see in Lyotard an explicit epistemic relativity (belief in personal or culturally specific truths or facts) and the advocacy of privileging “lived experience” over empirical evidence. We see too the promotion of a version of pluralism which privileges the views of minority groups over the general consensus of scientists or liberal democratic ethics which are presented as authoritarian and dogmatic. This is consistent in postmodern thought.

It certainly offers some explanation as to why those of us who are rational find ourselves in firm disagreement with seemingly everyone nowadays.

It goes around now. I find it perplexing that the world outside is so slow to catch up. All of this, and more, was discussed and explained ad infinitum at the Slymepit ages ago. And there is still a lot more missing. And yet, nobody bothered to look deeper into CRT, Richard Delgado, postmodern censorship and so on.

Borax sales are also on the rise because it’s a key ingredient in making slime. Doctors, however, have warned parents that Borax can be toxic if it’s not safely diluted, which may have been the case with Quinn.
