FC defines the gestalt/psychic construct of the Gen Y male, more or less, better than any of its art of which i'm aware and the cutest thing about it is that those who love it most deny its effect on them most vociferously, methinksthoudostprotest2muchwise.
Having a hard time understanding because I don't know what the bold pronoun is referring to. What's effect? The movie? Culture writ large?
Not trying to answer for wikkid, but irt to my own reply, I read "it" as the:
If he meant it another way, then my answer may not make as much sense.
oy. i'd be more excited for the challenge except i'm pretty sure i've done it at least twice before. i'll try to be fresh.
Not to be contentious, but I think I got what you were trying to say; it was your syntax that finally bit me, and I can usually get past that and grok to what you're saying for the most part.
LOL
This is helpful, as I have not read any of your previous thoughts on FC.
I thought of a good example from my own experience that fits this part very well.
The first rule of FBG Movie Club is you do not talk about the assigned movies. The second rule of FBG Movie Club is you DO NOT talk about the assigned movies. The third rule of FBG Movie Club is non sequitur.It seems like we have more talks about non-club movies than the selections of the month.
In my zone, it follows:
Was a hell of a lineup today. Wednesday’s this month on TCM have been peak cinema.
I am awful about remembering to check TCM. As I said above, I don't have cable; so I have to use my parents Spectrum online account for remote viewing. I don't think they even know such a thing exists.Ilov80s said:

Forgot this. Club Cornhole in Vegas?
Fun fact for ya: Did you know in the original script he was supposed to say Dallas instead of Vegas? Since this came out so close to JFK's assassination, they changed it.
yes - thank you for hyping it to us last week. it's a TCM celebration of cinematography (because they have a new doc on early DPs - worthy too) which continues next Wednesday beginning @ 6am w Doctor Zhivago, Bergman's Fanny & Alexander, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Cabaret, Cool Hand Luke, McCabe & Mrs Miller, Klute, The Last Picture Show and The Wild BunchIlov80s said:
That's another good lineup.
Used to love her but, for some reason, can't abide watching her these days. When i was a kid, the only old movies i got to watch was the Dialing For Dollars movie at noon every day and my local station must have had a deal with Warner Bros cuz that was all we got. I loved it cuz that meant Bogie & Cagney & Eddie G & Garfield and Miss Davis, lotsa Bette Davis. She was just more adventurous/scandalous than the other actresses and i've always loved a goer. For some reason, though, all i see now is the pop-eyed histrionics and it bonks me out anymore. Damn shame - i loved all her going blind, loving tragically & finding herself in weird places.
I've probably had the opposite, and come to appreciate her more over the years. She does not quite have the elite films of the other top stars (besides All About Eve, which is just about perfect as films go), but a pretty deep collection of good films. Few actresses could pull off the conniving figure quite like her.
yes, i'm aware that most of my impatience w things that used to engage me is the tunnelizing effect of old age. won't be long before i'm down to griping only about disrupted syndication episode orders for Law & Order and Blue Bloods....
I did not know that, but it makes sense from a character perspective - as Slim did not seem as much a Vegas type.
Reminds me that I thought the "Feud" miniseries that FX did a year or two ago was pretty dang good.
Sean Connery is one of my favs. I love his accent in TAT ... Sean Connery - Master of Accents
