"Poop" originally comes from the Latin puppis, which means "rear end." This led to "poop deck," the rearmost deck on a ship. Being "pooped" originally referred to having a wave crash over the stern of your ship, which generally means everything gets soaked and bad times. So, a party pooper is someone who metaphorically tosses a bucket of cold water down your back while you're trying to have a good time.

@oaf-77 2 года назад

Is that the straight poop?

@PokerJoker811 2 года назад

That also explains what it means to poo-poo an idea, you're throwing cold water on it.

This was one of my mother’s favorite movies she would watch it every year around her birthday

@slc2466 2 года назад

Yes, my mom also loved the movie, so much so that I remember being livid as a child when she opted to watch it one night over the yearly showing of "The Wizard of Oz" (this was pre-VCRs, when party lines were still a thing and you had to watch something on t.v. when it actually aired). Decades later, I've now seen the film about 20 times, as it's served as a perfect comfort movie that plays fresh each time, while also containing that something extra: the "Approved By Mom" seal of quality.

Casting the hale Rock as a hypochondriac makes for an amusing contrast in "Flowers," and it's nice to see him and Doris as a married couple, without (one hopes) her virginity on the line in this one.

Finally watched The Last Duel after reading about Damon's enthusiasm for making it. Knew what to expect and what the message would be. Still haunted for days by the rape scene from her point of view. The subtle difference between moans of passion and moans with crying from physical pain. And how it's not worth it to complain. Quite depressing. So, thank goodness for your comedy, starting with Craig's "if I wanted to flap, I would have auditioned for the play."

You never saw Rock Hudson in Written on the Wind, or All That Heaven Allows?! Douglas Sirk was a huge influence on David Lynch & John Waters. He’d cram a whole season of Melrose Place into one film.

Yep, and "Imitation of Life" (sans Rock but with the equally-hunky, at least, John Gavin) rips your heart out and leaves one a blathering, incoherent mess by the final fade out.

I'm not much younger than either of you, and I remember party lines. I didn't have one, but I knew people who did, and it was a frequent plot point in movies and TV where people would pick up the line just in time to hear something shocking. Why would people choose a party line to say something that could come back to bite them?

@Robobagpiper 2 года назад

From the online etymology dictionary: poop (v): "become tired," 1931, of unknown origin (see pooped) pooped (adj): "tired," 1931, of unknown origin, perhaps imitative of the sound of heavy breathing from exhaustion (compare poop (n.2)). But poop, poop out were used in 1920s in aviation, of an engine, "to die." Also there is a verb poop, of ships, "to be overwhelmed by a wave from behind," often with catastrophic consequences (see poop (n.1)); hence in figurative nautical use, "to be overcome and defeated" (attested in 1920s). So a party pooper kills the energy of the party. The scatological meaning of "poop" may have started with onomatopoeia; the sense "to break wind softly" is attested from 1721 (predating the meaning of "excrement" by about 20 years), from an earlier form "to make a short blast on a horn" (poupen, late 14c.).

I commiserate with Matt on the Seven-Year Itch scene. Also, there's the scene from Jerry Lewis' Way Way Out where the two astronauts have been on the base for months without another person never mind a woman around. Jerry comes up to take over with his new wife Connie Stevens and the guys can't control themselves, speculating about what she's doing in the bathroom- "Maybe she's one of those girls who like to soap themselves all over before they get in the tub." She comes out and says exactly that and Shmidlap loses control.

@slc2466 2 года назад

@@nellgwenn Seen it (to use the norm around here)- definitely a one-off in the Sirk cannon, when Rock was still in the quarry as a work-in-progress regarding his soon-to-be status as a major movie star. I'm particularly fond of another (non-Sirk) Hudson teaming with Piper Laurie, 1953's "The Golden Blade."

@slc2466 2 года назад

A side note: just saw "Power of the Dog" tonight, and I bet Jane Campion has seen "Giant"- that huge ranch house out in the middle of nowhere harkened back to a specific 1956 smash hit, for sure.

@Jacob-Vivimord 2 года назад

Pig is an allegory for grief and depression, not washing himself is a sign of that. He lost his wife and tried to leave society and go and live in the woods, with a pig as his only attachment. So when it's stolen, he experiences those feelings all over again (though he never stopped), except this time he can do something about it. The father steals Cage's pig because he is trying to fuck over his son's business.

Love the videos but is there any chance you could stop doing the left and right channel audio mix. Some folks watching may only have one headphone in (at times) and if they do, they only hear one of you, with the other sounding very distant. Try watching with one headphone in to see what I mean. This is the only channel I subscribe to that mixes the audio like this.
