Yeah, I remember being forced to watch “lilies of the field,” which demonstrates perfectly that Roman Catholic nuns are a bunch of clueless ninnies. I actually had to watch it twice.
Wow what a cool sighting. “Celebrities” with true dignity indeed.
And then I had to sing/play “kumbaya” at guitar mass and did that ever suck. Oh well, it’s all just a bad memory now. *drinks*
I am going thru some family things right now. I read your post & am crying like a baby. Much needed.
RIP Mr. Poitier.
RIP
I am going to steal that. Inappropriately funny.
But he eschewed discussions of equity, long before issues of reparations rose their ugly heads.
He once told an interviewer that if he did not know the difference, he should look it up.
I had a lot of respect for him for that.
Although I think a few "woke" blacks and whites put him down for it.
(The interviewer was that guy that smoked like a tar truck...had a late, late night show. For the life of me, I cannot remember his name.)
Tom Snyder?
Whil we are at it; you would not want to forget...
Rock around the clock with Bill Haley & the Comets
Larry King?
Sidney had a great life and was a fantastic actor.
RIP
That's him.
The most remarkable thing about him, for me at least, was his constant smoking.
'Course, that was a different time.
I saw Snyder interview Charles Manson.
Snyder came a cross as a complete a-hole
May he rest in peace. He was only 94! Think what he could have accomplished if only he had been given more time.
“I saw Snyder interview Charles Manson.
Snyder came a cross as a complete a-hole.”
So? It was Charlie Manson! What’s not to despise?
IIRC, I watched “To Sir, With Love” in the mid 60s first run in the theater in Buckhead.. I really liked it.
God's speed!
I saw all the 60s socially enlightening films Poitier was in, but I was 12 and really didn’t have a clenched fist to raise at point in life, and never really developed the habit.
Shoot to Kill, was chocobloc full of action, Drama, and thrills. Wasn’t into that other niche of pop culture, associated themes, and controversial subject matter.
There was a war on and family was in harms way, that’s all that mattered back then in my tiny little piece of the world.
RIP. I remember your work in Blackboard Jungle. Been a follower since then.
