wild hogs is an absolute masterpiece

So, the only history you're interested in is white, European based history?

Is that all the British museum has? Even NZ museums have pieces from
around the world.

And what would 'white European based' history show....how to build mud
huts and eat dirt while the Middle East flourished?

 

Just old history. I love it, but it's not REALLY history if it's only a
couple of hundred years old. Christ, I'm nearly that myself.

That's pre-history or natural history.
I'm talking your garden variety everyday history as taught in history
classes.

The closest we get is things like the Anastazi cliff dwellings etc.
Half the stuff in the British museum is twice as old as that.

 

what on earth is there to see in england!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

What? :-0 The view of Ireland??

 

I can see you've never been there. It's mostly bums and crack whores.

Personally I'm disinterested in most history.
However, the British Museum contains the history of the world.

 

So does my DVD collection, but only Part I...

Which makes you about 99.

 

I know what you mean. I haven't seen a movie which conveys to others the
feeling we have when we are driving down the road smelling what's in the
fields and seeing the ground rush by and the 360 panoramic view. The feeling
you are in your own little bit of heaven.
People who play a musical instrument feel like that too. The concentration
on what you are doing plus the pleasure of it.
Believe it or not, I used to feel like that when doing an applied math
problem too.

As for history, I never liked history as a kid but the older I get, the more
it interests me. When I try and tell my kids about the changes I have seen
(I'm 67) they aren't interested either ;-) Since many of us are brits from
way back, especially us Canadians, we know more of British history and so
can appreciate it. I can't go to Turkey and appreciate it because I know
nothing about it.

What North America has is a wonderful diversity of climate and scenery and I
want to see it all.
I'm going to spend 3 weeks this summer riding through the mountains of BC,
Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and Idaho and down the west coast highway on my
86 Venture. That's my annual escape to freedom. Last year it was the east
coast.

Now there's a name I haven't seen for a while.

 

Yeah, Mel never made a "Part 2". Hitler on Ice would have been a great high
school history lecture.

That's, Springtime FOR Hitler and Germany.
Winter for Poland and France.......

I thought that it could have been great,but it turns out as shit.A far
better Film of the Middle age crisis bullshit is City slickers.This
bunch dressing up like the Village People sucks.

highlight next ??.A guys first masturbation ? or his
first spot getting squeezed.Enough is enough eh Hollywood.Let's have
some "decent" flixs from now on.

 

Hollywood's been there, done that.

I liked Aviator. I thought it should have won best picture that year. Wild
Hogs WAS entertaining. I liked Travolta's character. However, at the end,
it fell into the same old modern Hollywood shtick. So in that way, like
those Hollywood fluff comedies before it, it sucked.

I tend to stick to watching the old films, on screen, whenever I can. Films
like, The Great Escape, The Wild Ones, Easy Rider, The Good The Bad and The
Ugly, A Hard Day's Night, The Apartment, etc. And some later films like
Happiness, Dances With Wolves, The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption ,
etc.

And that's "The Producers", not History of the World. (Part I or II)

The Inquisition, here we go...
