Benson, I always think it’s hilarious when people wrongly conclude that just because things they agree with are being said in a movie the cultural power of cinema will change the minds of everyone who disagrees with them. They get really excited, like there are people out there cheering them on or something, even thought it’s just an echo chamber and everyone in the audience probably already thinks the same stuff anyways.
Just watch the audience in any Michael Moore movie (bring a barf bag just in case) and you’ll see when I mean.
Bella Abzug: also possibly the least attractive woman of all time. I wouldn’t even have a Halloween mask with her face on it.
I have got to tell you, Benson, Barbara Streisand in “Prince of Tides” was pretty nauseating, in a politically correct orgy of JAPiness.
You want to see the most barf-inducing movie of all time? Go watch either “Annie Hall” or “Manhattan” by Woody Allen. The thing about Woody Allen’s movies of those times is that they were shot when he and his Upper West Side uber-liberal gang thought they were on top of the world, and so there is a level of smugness in them that is almost unbearable to watch. In one of those movies, in particular, (I forgot which) there is a scene that should be saved in the Smithsonian as a type of cultural artifact. It is a scene of a cocktail party in an apartment somewhere on – where else?- the upper west side and it features a cameo appearance and speech by BELLA ABZUG – the most nauseating New York liberal of all time.
Lech, I enjoyed your comments on therapy so much, I printed them out.
Mrs DCB netflixed “The Prince of Tides” yesterday. Possibly the most vomit worthy movie of all time!
Vanderbilt Avenue was blocked off today because three private dump trucks and a bulldozer were attempting to pick up the remnants of slush before the rain melted them. You can’t make this stuff up!
I see lech is prattling on again in his ever so “I’m-so-much-more-judgmental, I mean discerning” way. Which actually cracks me up, because of all the people here that could actually use therapy, lech is at the top of the list! (Along with Rob and benson, and maybe randi).
“It’s dangerous to feed fish in water under 55 degrees – they can explode.”
I did not know this! Who says the OT isn’t educational/informative?!
The funniest thing about the crowd you discuss is how great they think films by the Weinstein Brothers are. They’ve basically replaced Woody Allen as the vindicator of their worldview.
DIBS;
Yes, growing up in Bensonhurst/Gravesend, one didn’t encounter therapy very often, I can assure you.
DCB, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Mrs. DCB obviously did not!

DCB, glad to be of service.

Typical liberal. Not only do they always think they need therapy, they think everyone else does too!
