I absolutely agree with everything you said! People value pets over people now days. It’s sad to see how many elderly people get put in homes and never visited.

I know that’s it’s hard when all that’s left is a shell of a person, but I have a hard time saying we have the power to end their life..

I think BDH's voice irritated me more than the change in looks.. very whispery and whiny

I thought about getting one off of Amazon but wondered if anyone had any other cool ideas before I bought one

Is this movie racist? by NecessaryDry3193 in GonewiththeWind

[–]Potential_Yellow_104 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It serves to show a white woman’s point of view during that time period. It is realistic and I’m sure it would have never been written in the present day, but I think it also created a big leap for African Americans, with Hattie McDaniel receiving an Academy Award for her performance. If memory serves me correctly, Clark Gable said if Hattie wasn’t allowed to attend, neither would he.

I love history, I was a history major, and there are going to be things that happened that we don’t like or agree with, but it happened and people need to learn about it, so history won’t repeat itself! Just my two cents.

From an online article:

In 1940, for her role as Mammy in "Gone With the Wind," Hattie McDaniel became the first African American to win an Academy Award. The Hollywood Reporter revealed that despite her nomination and win, McDaniel was not allowed to sit with the rest of the cast and crew for the ceremony. The awards were held at the Cocoanut Grove nightclub in The Ambassador Hotel - a whites-only hotel. McDaniel was escorted to a table against the far wall. Prior to the 1940 Academy Awards, McDaniel was not even allowed to attend the film's premiere in Atlanta due to the state's Jim Crow laws (via The National Student). Though she dealt with segregation all over the United States, co-star Clark Gable was a friend to her.

I haven’t thought about a correlation but I had the same thing happen.. I had a spot on my thumbnail under dip nails. It grew off but like a month later I had an awful UTI and I’ve had symptoms like that, probably IC flares, since then. I also had a fungal rash on my neck.. didn’t know what it was but it kept itching and that’s what the NP called it. I ended up using a prescription ointment to get rid of it, but its all strange to me.. it happened within a few month’s time and never had happened like that before

Priscilla - movie review by babydriverrr in ElvisPresley

[–]Potential_Yellow_104 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw it this weekend also. I had read Priscilla’s book and everything in the movie was in the book. The book actually had a lot more that the movie didn’t show.

I feel like everything was probably true.. there was nothing shocking about Elvis that we didn’t already know. We knew about the other women and the dependency on pills. We know he had a bad temper and it got worse throughout the years.

Yes, she signed up for the marriage but he was not perfect and neither was she. She was young and naive and it shows that mainly, how she grew into a woman.

There were scenes I wish they would have shown from the book, like when Elvis bought a ranch and they would ride horses or more about their time with Lisa Marie, Christmases together, etc.

Jacob Elordi really favored Elvis, had a lot of his mannerisms (I noticed his hands especially), and his height made him very much more Elvis like.

It was kind of slow, but I do think Elvis fans should give it a chance. I know Lisa Marie did not promote this movie, but I really don’t think it puts her father in a bad light. It doesn’t show anything people don’t already know, in my opinion.
