You've never seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail? You are in for a treat!


Just_PrimalSoup (aka Susan)  AlextheKay  5 hours ago

No. I’ve heard of it, but never watched it. Maybe I’ll look for it.

I think we need an entire thread about movies Susan hasn't seen, because, it seems every time the subject of a movie comes up, you say you haven't seen it. How odd.
Next you will tell me you never saw the movie Being There.


Just_PrimalSoup (aka Susan)  SNOWFLAKE  4 hours ago

No, I kid you not. I haven’t seen “Being There” either. Have no idea what it’s about. Swear on my life.

Just_PrimalSoup (aka Susan)  Just_PrimalSoup (aka Susan)  3 hours ago

BTW, I’ve never watched Bambi either. True!


NOW, with all due apologies to Alex, Monty Python and the Holy Grail has some hilarious moments at the beginning, then drags throughout the rest of the movie. Just my humble opinion of course.


However, Being There, is hilarious. The dry humor is truly something special. Especially the scene where Shirley MacLaine is pleasing herself because she thinks this is what Peter Sellers wants her to do. 


Bambi is for kids, but if Susan really wants to see a Bambi classic, check this out:




I even suggested to Susan:

 Some new movies are absolutely awesome, like CODA:

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/mar/28/coda-wins-best-picture-oscar


That one definitely was one of my faves from the last couple of years, yet .....

Just_PrimalSoup (aka Susan)  SNOWFLAKE  3 hours ago

Nope. Didn’t see that one either.


So, without further ado, what movies would you recommend? Old or New? What rare ones would YOU suggest?


Anyone ever see.........?


Come up with your own juicy suggestions, for Susan, or for anyone who has lived a sheltered life and never got beyond watching Pretty Woman.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Image
Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
