Grassley whether aware or not is giving the left time to spout their propaganda.
I am so sorry for the delayed response, Sal.
I have always been very selective about my movies. Clockwork Orange was not one of my selections. I cannot watch torture which is why I never became a CIA agent.
You might suspect that I am a Frasier fan. The last Intelligent comedy show. Now, comedy shows do NOT want laughs, they want to shock with T and A and S and V.
None of which is FUNNY.
I kinda like your user name.
Incidentally, living on the east coast forces me to post and then fall asleep. I apologize a lot for tardy responses.
Since this guy is a porn lawyer, then why is not anybody digging into his background?
CPL expressing his inner fantasies in public.
I still watch the Frasier reruns.
All the way through the series and then they start over again...and I do too.
One of the best TV shows ever.
A Clockwork Orange was not about torture, per se.
It was a cautionary tale about free will versus forced obedience, albeit greatly exaggerated to prove the point.
As we sit now and watch liberals attempt to criminalize thought and force everyone to embrace their ideologies, often with violence, A Clockwork Orange becomes even more relevant than ever.
I've just discovered that a few of my favorite Brit series are on YouTube and have been binge watching them.
Each to their own, I say! :-)
Considering when A CLOCKWORK ORANGE was published ( 1962 ), the dystopian London portrayed, was, I suppose, a cautionary tale, though much exaggerated, vis-a-vis that era's white TEDDY BOYS gang culture and the outre clothes, hair styles, and slang that was in vogue at that time; not to mention the adult criminal gangs that were very famous back then...so famous that some years later, MONTY PYTHON was using them in skits.
plotting a bit of the old in-out in-out
And a tad of the old ultra-violence.
If you’re a fan of McDowell and his early work, try to find “If...” and “O, Lucky Man”.
Surrealistic.
:)
/secretly watches old Oliver Reed flicks, too
"IF" sounds right up my alley ( can't wait to see it! ), but "O LUCKY MAN" sounds like something that I'll hate; though the caste is incredible and perhaps I'll give it a look see, should I be able to find it.
Oliver Reed is one of my favorite Brit actors! :-)
You might like "BLACK MIRROR"; it's French, but there's not a lot of dialogue, so try it, even if you don't know French/hate subtitles.
"MIRROR MASK" is British, so no language barrier, and might just suit your sense of the fantastic and absurd.
Have you seen "BRAZIL"?
I went into the theater to watch BRAZIL expecting a Monty Python-type movie (or at least TIME BANDITS).
Man, when I left the theater, I was confused for a week ...
Give it another try, the next time it's on TCM; you may like it more now, because you were disabused of your original idea about what it would be like, before you saw it.
Oh, I have seen it several times since ... have the DVD. It’s a very intricate film and you can’t take your eyes off it for a minute, or the thread simply disappears.
I have the DVD too, seen it several times, and yes, I agree with what you wrote.
