The Last Movie You Watched
RE: The Last Movie You Watched
Not a movie, per se, but a miniseries, Lonesome Dove. My favourite scene, a cautionary tale on the dangers of fucking with old people.

RE: The Last Movie You Watched
You reminded me to see Lonesome Dove. It's on my watchlist.

I watched a fantastic movie called "Pericles on 31st Street" (1962). It's about a Greek man who sells peanuts on the street in NY. Everyone mocks him, especially kids, since he's barely above being a bum, but he's very smart and engaged in old Greek mythology and culture. Their neighborhood also gets visited by a rich real estate businessman who is very much like Trump: everyone pretends to like him, and he pretends to be generous by buying kids sweets and similar things, but he never pays for anything because everybody sucks up to him. He doesn't care about these people and is only looking at how to take advantage of them. Then the Greek man confronts him, calling him "sweet-tongued leech," and you realize why that Greek man is ostracized by the society—because he doesn't kiss ass to leeches.

That was the old America - when people were on the side of smart immigrants instead of snake oil salesmen.

It's also one of the early movies directed by Sam Peckinpah and one of Kurt Russell's first roles.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Loved that one. Paul Giamatti never disappoints.

Bugsy (1991). I’m impressed with the amount of work it must have taken to make a film about organized crime so unrelentingly dull.
