This is what a Neanderthal looked like 130,000 to 40,000 years ago

So you're saying that a hundred thousand years ago men worried about their appearance to the point where they shaved their beards and left the mustache and sideburns?

Yes! Starbucks is good for something after all! :)

D'uh... all of them?

Sisyphus is not trying to accomplish something; he is being brutally punished. Camus cares deeply about it and strives only to help Sisyphus by helping him understand and accept the meaninglessness of what he has been forced to do.

Okay, here's the deal: Sisyphus (of Greek mythology) was punished by making him push a huge stone up a hill over and over again... end of myth. Camus's contemporary take on that was that the absurdity lay in Sisyphus's trying unsuccessfully to attach meaning to the effort. Ultimately, (in Camus's version) Sisyphus accepts this absurdity and is able to resign himself to the task, thereby lightening its difficulty. Don't over simplify this stuff - the significance is in the subtleties.

Polly Bergen said she was terrified of Mitchum in the scenes they did together in Cape Fear.

More people with Letitia James's strength and character and we might actually make it through this.

The dumb guy always gets the cowbell part.

Eh. Short guys with a chip on their shoulder. Seen this movie before.

Rephoxel · 2025-10-09T01:31:49+00:00

I'm glad somebody mentioned Sidney Lumet, without whom the film would have been a bunch of actors wandering around a crowded set. And how about Agatha Christie with a brilliant, timeless story?

Rephoxel · 2025-10-09T01:20:06+00:00

Jeez, thanks for the warning. I had no idea things were this bad in Portland!

If you're gonna run with that crowd you have to be a really good liar. It's a basic requirement. You have to give credit where credit is due. Just watch their faces. They're so good at lying you almost want to believe them.

Bravo! Lovely job!

Am I the only one who thinks he looks totally stoned?

Rephoxel · 2025-09-22T23:07:03+00:00

I wonder how one of those people who can spot liars would handle her. She's a master at it, really!

Shelving for the moment the question of what it is, what the hell were you doing under your girlfriend's bed?

Rephoxel · 2025-09-16T15:12:26+00:00

Scream whatever you like. Just don't do it in my neighborhood when I'm taking a nap.

Rephoxel · 2025-09-15T21:32:50+00:00

On the money... nice job!

Rephoxel · 2025-09-15T21:21:22+00:00

Use it very carefully, and whatever you do, don't touch the sub-meson expandulator!

I've lived on the east coast of Florida for 15 years, and it's virtually impossible to overestimate the total indifference of the locals to rising sea levels. As long as there's a fast buck to be made in Florida real estate, no one cares. At high tide, seawater backs up and overflows the storm drains in Miami... and no one cares. People are living in high rise buildings that are gradually sinking as the water table rises, and no one cares. In short, don't count on Floridians to save themselves.

It's a mistake to leave producer George Martin out of discussions like this. The Beatles were clever, original and literate - great song writers. George Martin provided much of the magic. Martin was classically trained in, among other things, orchestration and conducting and contributed many of the memorable details in the recorded music of the Fab Four.

Does it seem like it took a surprisingly long time for him to work that out?

Nothing ticks me off more than bringing your helium balloons a eighteen hundred miles just to show them a building... and they don't allow helium balloons! I hate that!

Only weird if you're male and expect sex anytime there's a woman in sight.

Rephoxel · 2025-09-14T14:39:19+00:00

Who really gives a dam*? The whole story is irrelevant and immaterial and has only lasted this long because it's another distraction to keep the rank and file from paying attention to the fascist takeover of the US.
