HIS GIRL FRIDAY

BOXED SETS of OLD MOVIES Go for em
Here's a bargain you must invest in .Many of the best movies of all time are in there . Take a brilliant play put to screen called HIS GIRL FRIDAY in the GOLDEN COMEDY series. It is so funny and so classicly human . Reminds me of Chestertons biography of that great playright Bernard shaw where he describes the time in Shaws life when he realised his generation didn't " know it all'.
My hope is that so many old reactionaries to the great things of western culture might do the same . Regain humility and wonder at the seriusly funny realities of life and the impossible cooincidences . "What did i tell you" says Cary Grant enjoying every moment of this wonderful play , "an unseen power" ( on the arrival of wife toting Mr Pettibone.
I feel sure Ben Hecht and Charles Mc Carthur ( the cowriter of front page )like those who wrote the great ABC series frontline knew the wonder of the world when he put that line to Pettybone ( 'what's your story Mr pettibone " and he searches for a picture of his wife) .The best stories are often not heard. More than the eye can see and out the mouths of those who just tell the story /or listen more closely! What amazing things can happen on a mere stage and without the technology of today ! Not to be missed!in 100 top movies of all time

KILLED BY CARE is great .On wed nights ABC2 at 7and 9;30 Will the program set the brief for effective change?
Luciene Leape is great as the Harvard health researcher with a heart .
Who will win? --the culture of blame combined with the hospital systems new found fame game .will the deabte in Australia even get off the ground do more here

PROTOCOLS OF ZION (Not nice story about jewish conspiracy theories but it highlights the reality of distraction and projection in history - a powerful story told by lots of people .

Marc Levins 's compilation of open questions was topped off by sharing his father with us and the stories of the men from prison. What a magical moment to hear those blokes from prison make good sense; reminding us we are ultimately one and we owe it to one and everyone to teach forgiveness. Lets urge SBS to show it again . Do it again mate ---it was great! (Jew watch is Google's no 1 site)
If you haven't seen it chase it up .

I just love FRANK . he's bulk professional passion in a world of blinkered passivity and blind passion. The hype of ALL SAINTS is normally too much for my ever lovin heart - I need all my emotional energy for folks at home - Don't I ? maybe ? Certainly --a bloke worth watching . More on

Where has all the humor gone eh ?. Remakes of PINK PANTHER movies ---You hacve got to be joking! ho hum- are we dumb : short of ideas; living in the past and not admitting to it? . The absence of the authorPETER SELLERS is a timely reminder of how authorship and originality is usually the key spark in creative enterprise.
money and markets are sometimes mere pawns in the face of genuine creativity, so why do the majority worship them ?
-
We hear too much of the brilliance of marketing and too little of the brilliance of authors . Maybe you know some movies with that theme we can add here. It doesn't matter how many millions you throw at an idea, if the creator is not the key the stuff can be crap .
Authorship - why do we seems to be losing respect for it. Without the author you may have nothing but hot air and mere seking after that illusive spark. New things often in their very nature are cheap and unvalued -its a reality of life that its spiritual and not entirley material -its where worship of markets and marketing really misses the point . The curse of the pink panther had all the big names in it, but it missed the vital ingredient - the creative element that comes from one man who was not in it. Is Steve Martin and the men driving the remake risking a deep insult to their industry and a basic principle of respect for authorship?


We know we are in trouble when the film industry thinks the future is in remakes . The future is in authors . But don't leave the future to the sycophants or waste your time with revisionists. get reality ( see GHANDI below)

The original PINK PANTHER MOVIES are now out on DVD. While the gags come slower than most of us moderns would prefer, I found myself wondering how these movies got a PG rating ? They are not suitable for children as the adults are behaving like children --rebelling against what is now more recognised by that generation as unacceptable attitudes. Boy we have become more conservative in the last 20years!. What do you think ?


Want to watch something really great "GHANDI -with BEN Kingsley . A one man lesson on the impact of ideas in history . An Indian talking to the west about what he considers their best ideas - Its a reality check, not only for keen christians but all theose in west who want to know more clearly what's best about their history of ideas ---Anyone who takes the words of Jesus seriously, as he tried to do . I found the story Absolutely fascinatingly but then its the first time i've seen it -I am a bit slow perhaps ?

MUNICH - put it in the missable unless you want to be misled.
see the review on Link site churchofthemasses

This site is not intended to cover everything .Only to point you to things. Most of the better things are discussed on the links to the left . tHe higher they are on the list the more the moderator ( thats me ) thinks they are really good references ( take Church of the masses dealing with MUNICH and ISLAM . Time is short. Speak up and speak clearly.)

NANNY MCPHEE-- Nannies are back ; great therapy for everyone

What’s looks all bad at first , may well look a lot better when you accept the critical need for their experience, perspective and wisdom.

Churchill’s famous quote about The choice s we have (democratic choices) points clearly to the acceptance of the reality of inefficiency in leadership systems . Acceptance can lead to more realistic and less stressful worldviews.

The longer view of those well educated and experienced hands on housekeeping servants who can see through the noise ; not denying any members voice or , those with a legitimately short term view, but more able to see how we can keep the diverse economia we call home together .

Narnia is great . Heard some "kids shoudn't watch that" critic get his knickers in a knot because the old man celebrated Christmas with "gifts of warfare" . The so Pc corect - no earthly use brigade of old children in charge at ABC church church like to think that handing out lollies is more effective that presenting choices in art. Their afraid of something . The wooseheads deny the reality of post christmas depression and the reality that it comes about partly because of too many lollies and excecive hype about being nice being applied to a situation of potentailly warring parties -

Give us the realism and symbolism of great literature and reject the woosiness of those who continue to shove temptation, disagreemnet , anger and frustration and cheap choices under the carpet. The new censors think our children should not be offerred the great choices in both Tolkein and Lewis's work .

Save time in the Video store . The people's choice cabinet . Our local video store has the most popular movies of all time in one cabinet - it saves a lot of time . Ask your store to do the same.And get away from the speculative unrelaibility of reviewers

What a great series the Grumpies are and topped by the Christmas stories. The truth is therapy indeed.
If Liberty Bell keep reporting it as it is, we will have to change our expectation that British TV was losing it.

PRIDE and PREDJUDICE ***** Maybe its not all that the 300 minute version was, but that's a good thing- still true to a great story - and much easier to enjoy( in one sitting).
As a great piece of literature, it reminds us, like Solzenitzens first words to the West of one key kink in the human condition . "Mum and Dad have their limitations" . BUT weren't mum and dad oh so good in the picture !

By agnowledging our parents WEAKNESSes we learn to agnowledge our own
Was for example Dad's submission to mum a form of weakness,or a response that was rare and therefore noted on film. Was he stronger than he appeared at first glance? Will weaknesses in our/your family destroy it ? Of course not - facing weakness is the key to finding love . M&D loved each other- and that love made their children KNOW love.


Solzetnisens point is a very serious one - we can by thinking like children, miss the point and fall lower than even our parents in the parenting game. As normal children we can so easily fall for that appealing temptation that we know a better around their recipe for a happy home ( family society etc ) . We sneer - becoming the new snobs to a new generation of children.

ABCTV
I write this mainly because I wish the ABCTV producers would grow up and stop feeding us expensive overseas PERIOD PIECE trash by modern day snobs , who clearly don't know any better about the best of the past .

On PERIOD PIECES. what don't our ageing reactionary media people not understand that they produce such drivel ? Why did Cate Blanchett get herself into that dark piece of modern snobbery that is an Ideal Husband 1999. Too many young Australians do not know what snobbery is and when they are guilty of it . Does Cate too not recognise what makes for good literature? she is not alone in the modern world of post modern panderers to the superficial.

REACTIONARIES- How predictable and backward they are!
It was remarked of that prominent stirrer Bernard Shaw that "he fell off his perch" when he realised, after making a living as a reactionary .that Plato's society was infact more dynamic and interesting than his own ,in many many ways.( he got to the top of the tree and surveyed the countryside objectively?
Our modern ageing reactionaries need to stop revisiting the past with their eyes over their reading glasses. Then they might stop making such trash as An ideal husband and not have kept us so long waiting for good literature .Keep up the good work and we'll keep giving you some !

at the end of a long day at the office ,can i suggest you watch BRITAS EMPIRE (now on DVD . Nothing like standing back from it and watching . Funny serious yeah!

WE ARE! worth watching - bookmark us NOW . The media have for too long controlled the agenda - Don't just watch what they promote, but watch what's worth watching.

THE ABC are copying us ! Since we started some years ago, the ABC have highjacked Strattan and Pomeranz off SBS ( The movie show) , now its "MY FAVOURITE MOVIE" . Come on people JOIN IN and generate more than stylish sycophants to the latest craze--you are, after all, more discerning viewers than the masses of noisemakers generated by mere popularity, promotion or pomeranz etc.

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
After reading reviews me thinks we fear fear more than the basis of the fear itself. Sound study of the human condition says we need to face fears. If there is a way out its definitely not by ignoring the dark side, as too many of us in the older generation continue to do.

HOUSE OF ELLIOT Beautiful is the word Now out on DVD series 1. PLUS Two Tough sisters with attitude . For the ladies there is nothing but beautiful clothes , Drama - lots of the unexpected and for honest exposure to real historical ideas gone nowhere, the fabian society Now On DVD at the ABC
Don't Forget BRASSED OFF-- excellent story (BBC )drama about Coal workers working together . Blessed with superb band music as well

Looking for real romance? THE NOTEBOOK is greataccording to a reliable and toghminded single wymen "Great romance, highly recommended" "
Talking of toughminded, While WHEN HARRY MET SALLY is not for mere boys, its good fun for mature non woosy women and a punchy challenge to the shallow worldview of relationships that too many big boys get sucked into.

Looking for something for 10-14 Y Olds that's not "too bland " . We're finding DISNEYS ENID BLYTON ADVENTURE SERIES good and reliable source of a pleasurable adventure for all .

AUSTRALIAN STORY -Another great innovation of the ABC . Peter Andrews has got everyone talking about what we should do to look after this great country of ours - what do you think ?
Surely the biggest point is that Rural people KNOW lots that 's being ignored and the government are burning lots of rubber but not providing UNDERSTANDING .The problem is the bureacracy will go into a huddle over this and nomore will be DONE to address the SORES- except perhaps throw more tax at a whole lot more rubber and reactionary recognition.
