Almost time...


Yep! As I write this, it is Sunday, May 19th, 2024. July 4th is fast approaching! Every 4th of July for the past few years, I always watch two movies. The musical tribute to George M. Cohan "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and "Jaws".

Yankee Doodle Dandy????

You’re so fucking gay. I don’t care if you like Jaws

reply

It’s a great movie.

And stop flirting with guys on here.

I am also 72 years old, youngster.
In all his years as an actor, James Cagney was stereotyped as a gangster, due to his several portrayals as underworld characters. But, he was also a song and dance man, as evidenced by "Yankee Doodle Dandy", for which he won the Best Actor Oscar.
It doesn't bother me that some mule headed poster decides that just because he hates musicals or thinks that people who like them are "so f**king gay", that he should attack someone for their likes and dislikes.
In this age of supposed "inclusiveness", it amuses me that the very people who cry out against other people about disrespecting others, are the first to do so.

I shall be using 'mule headed' to describe hypocritical jackasses from here on.

reply

You like that?

reply

Yes sir.

reply

To be attacked by some mule-headed dope for liking a film as great as "Yankee Doodle Dandy" is actually a compliment. If someone that clueless criticizes you, then you must be doing something right.

reply

You’re a bore

reply

You are joking, right?
'Yankee Doodle Dandy' is a stone cold classic (or are you just waiting for Quentin Tarantino to tell you it is?)

reply

Seagal72 - Some people just don't get that. Golfaddict is probably a kid.

I feel like at this point, you almost have to toss JAWS 2 in there for the 4th of July viewing as a Double Header

reply

True ... However, I thought that the film makers should have stopped before they gave us the abominations that were "Jaws 3" and "Jaws the Revenge". (I felt so sorry for Lorraine Gary being roped into that film, as well as Sir Michael Caine.

reply

Michael Caine brags about the mansion he bought on the beach with his JAWS IV $$$$

reply

Lol! Well, he deserved it!

reply

I’d like to throw in The Patriot, but it just has too many silly flaws. What could’ve been.

So we’ll throw in Braveheart instead. There’s never been a movie that more accurately captures what the country was founded on. Freedom. Independence. Liberty.

reply

It's Jaws and Independence Day for me.

reply

Never thought of that. "independence Day" goes without saying.
Of course, I am a lot older than most posters on here, so my film experience goes back further.
Not bragging. Just stating a fact.

reply

I get it. It's only a matter of personal experience for me. I was stuck on deployment in 1997 and just got done with standing post on the 4th holiday. When I went to the one place that was open, Independence Day was playing on their big screen. It has fit ever since.
