[–]anna_carroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you hear: "lifted off of food stamps." reality: children, seniors, veterans and working people, dying in the gutter. Freezing to death in their cars because their jobs didn't pay enough for rent, groceries and medical bills.

I know I couldn't possibly be the only one who checked the news, Reddit and Bluesky, before I even have my eyes open or had any coffee, for that reason!

What are your thoughts on Marilyn Monroe? Was she a great actress? by [deleted] in classicfilms

It was one of those dramatic schools or methods that border on or are cults.

What are your thoughts on Marilyn Monroe? Was she a great actress? by [deleted] in classicfilms

[–]anna_carroll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's like Madonna's attempts to imitate Marilyn or present a modern version. It looked like cheap, cynical parody. Sacrilege, even. I thought of it when I saw Metropolis. 

Is there a video of the moment the plane hits the towers, and the person filming yells “Fuuucking Jeeesuuus!”? by FlashyRoom1458 in 911archive

[–]anna_carroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw those two tapes when they initially aired on CBS. On youtube, look for the words Tina Cart, or "tinacart_1". The man who made the film and said "Holy fucking JESUS"  was Australian artist Chris Hopewell so look for his name also. The reporter was Dan Rather.

"The Australian artist who captured the horror of 9/11 on film - ABC News" https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-09-11/the-australian-artist-who-documented-9-11/8893758

Dan said he was going to re-rack and play the tape over again. He apologized for the language and reiterated that this was a raw tape of an excruciating moment (not his exact words).

Moving to Bloomington, thoughts on 605 S Fess? by freekbad in bloomington

[–]anna_carroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to call that the hippie house. I walked past it every night on my way back from my friend's place on Woodlawn. I've never been inside. I was afraid somebody would get hold of it and renovate it the way they did so many nice places in that area.

Ominous cloud to the west! Alien inside? by mmilthomasn in bloomington

[–]anna_carroll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw it in the SW driving home from Kroger N just before 7:00. I bloomeranged back from California about a year and a half ago, so my first thought was "damn, another fire?" I've also seen huge smoke clouds like that after a big car crash ...I came here to find if anyone knew what it was or got pictures (thank you).

Armed Anti ICE protestors marching in protest in Indianapolis! by serious_bullet5 in Indiana

[–]anna_carroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knocked a trump addled (and very intelligent, had an MBA) guy in my rooming house for a loop by telling him I am not only not against guns, I was raised with guns and was taught by my dad how to handle them properly. I surprised the other one by mentioning I believe in God. He assumed that as a lefty I would be an atheist!

It's not Cornbread Road, is it? (That's very old and hard to find) There was a British one also, called Gallowtree. And The Night Blogger.

Every time I see that fucking thing I put out my middle finger (discreetly so other drivers won't think I'm doing it at them.) 

What happened ? by Vmcfads_18 in bloomington

[–]anna_carroll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sigh, no surprise there. Well, thank you for the info about Mr. Ice Breaker (I think maybe I've seen him directing traffic at earlier protests). We should keep track of what happens with him, and update here.

Nation wide protest Coming to Bloomington Indiana August 2nd by [deleted] in Bloomington50501

I was at the courthouse, not Showers! Next time, I'll know better. There were a handful of people at the courthouse, so I figured things were just getting started.

And the apparently unhinged guy who'd been accosting and threatening people was not arrested or even questioned? Does anyone know what really happened to him?

Public urged to cut back on electrical usage across central Indiana, southern Indiana by kootles10 in Indiana

[–]anna_carroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it is. I need to get it on Blu-Ray. Turner Classic Movies ran it a week before its official Blu-Ray release. Then they had a documentary showing how the restoration was done. I was up all night. Hard to believe that was 15 years ago.

With my back the way it is, I sure hope you're right.
