Friday Ephemera (669)
I don’t want to rush you, but the ground is approaching. || Dissonant vibes. || Gritty crime drama. || Suboptimal scenario. (h/t, pst314) || A soap manufacturer speaks. || For those who dislike dusting. || Today’s word is inadvisable. || Throws like a girl. || How menfolk pass the time. || Crashing into the Moon. || With 47,000 amps and quite a big magnet. || You know, I’m not entirely sure what the plan was. || I didn’t know this was a job. || Also a job, it seems. || This is more of a hobby, possibly a sport. || Attention, all landlords, the tenant of your dreams. || Attention, all black men, a tempting offer. || Seen from inside. || Assorted rotating sandwiches. || And finally, good news for the big-footed transsexual.

Sound of music: the entire plot of the movie, besides the romance, is that the father is going to be drafted by the Nazis (and the boyfriend of the daughter becomes a nazi and is proud of it). idiot
that the father is going to be drafted by the Nazis (and the boyfriend of the daughter becomes a nazi and is proud of it).
I just listened to a podcast from someone that was linked in one of those twitter threads. Growing up this person thought the movie was like Mary Poppins where Maria comes and helps a troubled family with the children and then leaves. It turns out that her family’s copy of the movie was on two DVDs with an intermission at the end of the first DVD (sort of like Dr. Zhivago) and as a child she never saw the second half of the movie where all the Nazi stuff happens. Lol. Tbf this person was a child.
And arguably still is.
But then, I have seen a lot of garbage reviews/criticism by supposed intellectuals.
Well TBF, and we really have no obligation in the current environment but just for shits and grins, I could imagine our subject having seen a snowflake rated version with all the Nazi related scenes cut out. Much like my recent viewing of Groundhog Day had all the suicide scenes removed. AIUI the once-classic Christmas movie Holiday Inn, the one that made the song “White Christmas” a hit, has had all the scenes of the movie’s minstrel show removed.
Might be a missing letter “B” in the last name.
I realized I was bisexual and nonbinary
Does not compute. One or the other, take your pick.

Yep, that is the thing, it is all just trendy bullcrap, looking for status points among her equally vapid friends and/or, in her case, looking for an excuse to get out of an apparently failed relationship.
It does rather suggest a generic ‘progressive’ woman hitting forty and thinking, “I should be more fascinating than I am.”
Come on. She’s taking the piss, surely?

Well, maybe she’s just crazy.
I think we’ll give that one a post of its own. Comments that-a-way.
THIS is the way to handle scum activists.
There’s something about the security personnel at the ‘Let Women Speak’ that seems a bit odd. I can’t quite suss it out, though.
“A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.” Remember that slogan? Unfortunately, I am no longer available to assist feminists, for some inexplicable reason.
I had a similar reaction. Aside from the dress, they look and behave like the secret service personnel in a SNL presidential skit. But then again, that is the nature of the job. Pay no attention to the speaker and 100% on scanning/analyzing any odd behavior in the crowd.
I assumed that “seems a bit odd” was a sarcastic reference to the fact that the security people were all big strong men–a group which has traditionally been demonized by feminists.
I assumed that “seems a bit odd” was a sarcastic reference…
Would *I* do that???

Ah. But of course..
Here is a relevant scene which I had forgotten after so many years.
