Off but also on topic, If you want one of the worst movies to come from both the Friday the 13th and nightmare on elm street franchises, if not THE worst, look no further than Freddy vs Jason. I re-watched it with my husband last night and I deadass fell asleep halfway through after several brutally uncomfortable (and horribly non-scary) moments. There were more boobs out than kills in the whole thing, and I’d say it was worse than both of the remakes that came afterwards, which is saying something
@@Gweem13 it is as if that film was made by people that didn’t like, let alone love, either franchise. It’s a mess. The final battle at least has a visceral kick, but it’s a big disappointment.
@MOKandRIFF I absolutely agree with that. I honestly wonder if the writers purposefully made it icky and hard to watch so that the franchises would finally end and nobody would want any more movies from either end. Regardless, I'd say my only two praises for that movie are the soundtrack and the ending. Everything else was a total dumpster fire at best
Why are you acting like Lena Horne broke so many barriers?? The reason why she made it is because she looked more acceptable to white people duh! If she was a manual full-blown black person she would not have gotten the opportunity she has gotten.
Back in the mid-2000-s Cherry Beach, and the Yacht club used to be a safe place. But as the time went on, I saw a lot of homos creeping around the yacht club parking lot and the area called "frolicking trails", and crackheads throwing parties. Many drugdealers waiting around in the parking lot too.
C 'est vrai qu 'elle est géniale. C 'est normal c 'est la meilleure. Nous sommes pas demi-soeur pour rien. Christine s 'éclate toujours, même dans Cagney et Lacey. C 'est rare quand ça va pas. Et croyez moi je la défendrai toujours car j 'aime pas qu 'on lui fasse du mal 💚💚🤑🤑💚💚🤑🤑🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🍒💋❤
I went and saw Top Gun in the cinema and fell asleep, I will wait for Movie Recaps/Story Recapped/Mystery Recapped etc. I can't actually be bothered watching an entire movie and they recap them well enough.
not surprised that with the cost of living 🏠 a couple buds would be roommates to split the rent 💰 kool to see them having a couple drinks waiting for some girls to come over and get the party started. 🤘
The New World Order is an American professional wrestling stable that originally consisted of "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. This isn’t a wrestling commercial, it’s literally a home hardware commercial.
Maybe I'm wrong, but the guys doesn't look gay at all. If they take two gay guys for the commercial, then Bravo !!! But if home hardware ask two straight men to "act" gay, this is hypocrisy.
I was born in 1963 and I grew up knowing who Lena Horne was because I remember seeing her on television and because my mother loved her and thought she was beautiful. My Dad was in the Air Force and many years before I was born they were stationed in the South, and my mother hated it because of the local people. The locals didn't like the Air Force people because they said they paid black people too much money to do gardening and housework and that the Air Force women would eat lunch with their black housekeepers in the kitchen or dining room. The locals would say, "They know their place." What sickened my mom the most was shopping off base and to see a black woman and her child step into the gutter because she, a white lady, was walking down the sidewalk. My mom would wipe tears from her face and feel sick to her stomach because she thought it was so cruel and disgusting. Years later, when I was in 5th grade, we moved to Barksdale Air Force Base, in Louisiana (I lived across from the tennis courts by the Officer's Club), and after my first day at school, I came home from school and asked my Mom to please explain racism and slavery and civil rights because I didn't understand well enough what was going on. Which she did. Also, while living there, the miniseries ROOTS was aired on TV for the first time and my parents made it a point that we watch it together as a family, every episode, and then we could talk about it after each show. It was really an important series, and I'm glad we watched it, and I am grateful my parents were open and that they hated racism, so that's how we grew up - NOT RACIST. I also remember so many songs that were geared at tearing down racism and promoting love. And, television shows like Archie Bunker in All in the Family, and Sanford & Son, and Julia, and the Jeffersons. It seemed that Entertainment was all about moving past the bigotry and racism and coming out of the 1960's together as one America and not divided by race. Those were important times, important songs, important television and movies. We need more of that again. There is too much hate, too much racism, too many unarmed black young people being shot by bad cops, and too much of Conservatives pushing the Don't Talk About Slavery in school and don't teach the truth about history. Now, it makes sense why they hate Hollywood... Because Hollywood was part of the big change of attitudes, and Conservatives simply don't want to evolve, won't accept we are all the same and equal, and won't love all of their neighbors... I remember Lena Horne fondly, and my Mom still loves her!
Thank you so much for sharing your accounts here! I read every word eagerly, and feel grateful to you. This was sad, yes…but also beautiful in that so often, people don’t receive first hand accounts of what has happened in our society. You witnessed things first hand; you shared; and everyone that reads this will be enlightened. Blessings to you! You’ve made my evening. 🤗👍👍🙌🥰
hollywood broke lena, after she didn’t get to play Julie in showboat, Julie was a mixed race character, MGM promised her the she was Julie...but the script called for Julie and her white lover to kiss, so they fired lena and hired Ava Gardner (Ava who (much) later revealed that she was part black too so raspberries to MGM....hollywood did the same to Anna May Wong, they broke her, when they didn’t allow her to play O-lan in the film about Chinese Farmers, The Good Earth, ( because she had to kiss a white man that was playing a Chinese man & it was against the law, interracial, but it was really about white southern movie goers culture) ... oh ‘merikkka, all the talent you have squandered ...when will you grow up?
@@akrenwinkle honey I know exactly what I am talking about… feelings are not facts… and yes Ava Gardner is part black, that’s the part that upset you 😂MGM bought Showboat for Lena… read a biography and then get back to me
@@akrenwinkle you are trying to come for me about Lena??? I suggest you don’t do that… you’re sounding real ignorant right now… Lena would be 105 now, I’m a professional historian you are a troll 🧌
Alan is not gay, It is the honesty of this play in that it challenges gay as well as straight assumptions. The objection to Emory by Alan is not so much his being feminine but what Alan sees as an aggressively one-note frivolity and hostility (a silly person) and his unwarranted verbal attacks. This is a problem the gay world refuses to address still today; the frequency of aggression in much of feminine behavior. There is something truly tedious in Drag Queen haughty and cruel humor. This play remains important today for representing the attitudes of a previous era, but also for portraying gay people as the diverse, flawed, and complex people like everyone else.
Alan explicitly complains about Emory’s “effeminacy”. The genius of this show is that it often ends up exposing the internalized homophobia in many of the gay men who view it.
And Alan is closeted. Either bisexual or gay. But he’s not straight. The real takeaway is that decades later there are still gay men out there who side with Alan’s misogynistic homophobia.
