Good answers, everybody!

I don't actually own many 60s films - eight, to be precise.

Psycho (1960)

Dr No (1962)

From Russia With Love (1963)

The Jungle Book (1967)

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Rosemary's Baby (1968)

Easy Rider (1969)

Er, and that's it, lol. I've seen the other 60s Bond films, plus one or two of the Herbie films, plus one or two of the Clint Eastwood 'Man With No Name' films. So, I've seen about 15 films of the 60s. Pretty pathetic, lol.

Well, I can only speak of the films I own and remember.

Easy Rider I thought was pretty good but I wouldn't call it great. I don't rate it has high as other people. I guess it's a classic because it captured America's changing of societal attitudes.

I love The Jungle Book - it's a great cartoon film. I don't particularly like Disney films, but I love this one.

2001: A Space Odyssey is good, too, although I found the ending to be a bit, er, pretentious. The film's pacing is very slow, especially compared to many of today's films, but I don't mind this. I actually like films to take their time.

Psycho and Night of the Living Dead are good horror films made on a cheap budget - particularly the latter. The black & white film actually works in these films' favour because it covers up any shortages in the special effects department.

I gotta say, I really like Rosemary's Baby - it's my particular favourite of this decade, although I haven't seen many 60s films. I don't know if Mia Farrow is a good actor, but she is very good in this as the film's lead.

It's a very good psychological horror - you don't really know if everything's real or Rosemary is imagining it.

Have you got any favourite 60s films and, more importantly, any that you'd recommend to me?

Demons. Afraid or not?

by punkofnice in

when i was a jobot i had the fear of demons rammed down my throat.. now i am without any faith, i don't have that fear because it seems irrational.

a fairy tale from the minds of some weirdo.. now i don't have to worry about buying stuff 2nd hand.. it always amused me how some jobots would pooh pooh charity (goodwill to my american cousins), shops or 2nd hand shops in case demons inhabited a jumper or a chest of drawers.

yet at the same time they'd buy a 2nd hand car.

LoveUniHateExams

Demons. Fear or not? - generally speaking, not.

I'll watch all manner of films that are about demonic possession. The Exorcist (1973) and Hereditary (2018) are very good films.

But I'd never play a Ouija board or anything like that. My reasoning is that I don't know, 100% for sure, if demons exist or not. There's no evidence for their existence, I hope they don't exist, but I don't know for sure. In light of this, I think it's pretty sensible to steer clear of Ouija boards and other efforts to contact spirits.

Funniest insults

by LoveUniHateExams in

so, i was wondering what are the funniest insults i've heard/been called.. the woman who taught me the arabic alphabet did a lesson about insults in colloquial palestinian arabic.. the one that stuck out to me was iniqbir or ini'bir.

literal meaning: bury yourself.

"go and bury yourself".

LoveUniHateExams

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your genitals - lol

That sounds like something Sacha Baron Cohen would say in his film The Dictator. Or maybe something Borat would say, lol.

I guess it's just telling someone to f**k off without using the f-word.

Here's another insult my mum used to say to me when I was about 13 years old and being naughty: "go and play with the traffic!" lol

Got any good ones?

Baldwiin, I did not pull the trigger or point the gun at anyone. LMFAO

by mickbobcat in

ya right because we all know if you let a gun sit on a table long enough it will get up and kill people on its own.

lmao what a total idiot douche nozzle liberal but i repeat myself.

Gunslinger Baldwin cracks me up, lol.

He killed someone whilst was holding a firearm which had live bullets. As the film's producer, Baldwin had responsibility to keep live bullets from the set. He failed at that.

He also did point the gun at someone - that's how you shoot a gun, lol ...

Child pornography should NOT be automatically handled by a judicial committee

by pistolpete in

new information added to the "shepherd the flock elder's book" .

they have updated their policy on viewing child pornography.. from a congregation standpoint it is not viewed as child sex abuse and is something that should not be automatically handled by a judicial committee.

it states that a person viewing child pornography should be strongly counseled.

LoveUniHateExams

Anything involving child abuse should be first reported to police.
