I deleted some of the more incindiary stuff I said because you make a fair point. The rest still stands. These are good films that aren't woke at all, that's the spirit of the thread.
A Bridge Too Far: amazing film. All practical effects. That means real airplanes of the WW2 era with real people jumping out as paratroopers. Excellent film. Anthony Hopkins is in it as a key RAF guy (Frost) but that's just the tip, just the tip of the iceburg of the cast. It was an all star situation. Nobody ever talks about this movie.

You never read The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged front to back. So D- on that. Did you know she took a low level job on a railroad before she wrote Atlas Shrugged just so she could write competently about railroad matters? That's ****ing method, man, you gotta give her that. |

She died when I was very young and I learned about her the person. The person leads me to not want to read her books. If a person can't live up to their own philosophy... why waste the time? |

So for all I care she could have humped a camel and annointed ground squirrels as the highest beings. She isn't the point. Her points are the point. 2 + 2 = 4 is the basis of objectivism. She is inspiring though because she escaped communism and fell in love with liberty and freedom. I won't deny that that's inspiring to me. |

Just gonna point out that back in the '50s, which I'm guessing is when all the heroes were nearly all white guys, the villains were nearly all white guys too.

That "here we go" post by a mod is why I do love CP. Most mods anywhere would just permaban me and nuke the thread from existence. But mods here enjoy the fun of a good message board. Some would say they give me a rope long enough to hang myself with. But CP is great.
Is "The Lighthouse" great? I'm not sure what to make of it. It strikes me as Brokeback Mountain on a rock at sea. But Willem Dafoe was so good in it, it was really his magnus opus. DAMN YE!!!!!! Any of you guys seen the Lighthouse? They say its an allegory to Prometheseus which yes it is but it is more than that. It'll stay with ya. Damn Ye! You're fond of my lobster aint ye!!!!!

One time there was this guy named Jesus and he tried inspiring the Jews by killing himself but it didn't take. They were not satisfied by that.
Nice to have you here JR. I want to know your take on The Lighthouse, as well as Das Boot. |

Just gonna point out that back in the 1600s, which I'm guessing is when all literature was inspired cause that was Shakespeare's day, all the heroes were all white guys, all the villains were also white guys, and get this: even the women were white guys. Juliet was a dude in the original play, tis true. DAMN YE!!!!!
