You have no sense of humor. You are so touchy. And your reading comprehension is abysmal. Man you must be miserable.....
Hmmm
That’s weird. First I gotta say, for a poster on a forum which does not allow personal attacks, you’re skirting the rules like an out of control Pope
I am a literature instructor, raised by a former Marine officer who was schooled in the classics in high school and at the military academy. He was always sure to get us to ‘the flicks’ and to our classical education, from where I learned Homer, Thos Aquinas , Sid Caesar, the Marx Brothers and Clint Eastwood, well, Dirty Harry, whose sense of humor I like to share by showing the scene where he’s in the diner where the surrounded- by- bad guys waitress pours a cup of sugar into his coffe to get his attention
Cracks me up every time
As does jack Bauer when he says he’s ‘gonna need a hacksaw’, as does Vinnie Gambini whistling Dixie in the back of the Alabama penitentiary shuttle, or when Oh I could go on. You got me reminiscing
Oh, when ... No oh ok, when Vinnie Antonelli slips away from Rick moranis’ FBI agent so he can finally just get some decent food. Or when our other Vince - Papale intercepts the ball during the last seconds of the Eagles-Giants match up, delivering it to the end zone
Well, there’s nothing like a glued-to -the-screen lot of ninth graders watching Marlon Brando reciting Marcy Antony’s soliloquy to the Romans after they’ve killed Caesar (not SID Caesar, as you might wonder) or Liz Taylor’s Katherine succumbing to Burton’s Petricchio after they’ve read the story in its original form (my history dept chair-colleague and friend gets so pissed when she sees it, it’s a mystery as she knows ‘everyone hates Shakespeare’
So pleased we are to see Hollywood and TV getting to classic Greek and roman literature by producing the Avengers, guardians (a must see- esp with Chris Pratt), the Flash, Agents of Shield, batman - though Ben at fleck , hmm we don’t know about that
What were you saying?
