Ok, I'm done here. Read up on the subject and try having some compassion.
They jumped off the ships rather than live a life of cruel enslavement. Their children were likely already separated from them on the ships.
They didn't exactly leave voluntarily, do you know anything about the Atlantic slave trade?
I believe he was speaking in more general terms, they were his ancestors in a broader sense. But if you want a literal explanation, if they had children before they died, that's how.
I know this is an old thread, but just watched it and someone says, "There's gold in them thar hills." Near as I can tell, this expression was first used by Matthew Fleming Stephenson (1802–1882), an American miner, geologist, and mineralogist from Georgia, US. In trying to discourage people from heading west for the 1849 Gold Rush, he said this referring to the Georgia hills, hoping to convince folks they could find gold closer to home. So it seems pretty certain this wasn't coined until the late 1840s.
He said he had a speech impediment.
O Brother Where Art Thou!
Watched this again yesterday--4/20!--and for the first time two things occurred to me about the title:
1) It is a play on The Big Sleep (as another pointed out)
2) The other Lebowski, the rich one, could be referred to as the "big" Lebowski.
I think it's a fine title!
I just watched this last night on Disney+ and they have dubbed out the "bad" language so it's "Don't fool with the babysitter" etc. So disappointing.
The show was already called "The Girly Show," with Jenna as the star. So when they were forced to bring on Tracy, they changed it to "TGS with Tracy Jordan." I like how "TGS" mimics "SNL."
Thank you! I often hold back from saying this because I imagine some will take it as defending pedophiles, which I am certainly not! But people misuse that term all the time, often referring to an older man with a teenage girl--certainly a sexual predator, but not a pedophile.
Yes! As i said above, she is guarded and as you say, she has secrets...
No, she's not. Granted, I've not seen her in anything else, so my opinion is just based on the first 5 episodes of this show. Her character has a guarded manner and deadpan delivery of some quite funny lines. I think she's fantastic in this and love her interplay with SM and MS.
I love both movies but had not noticed all these similarities! Thanks for laying them out here.
"First woman to work in the Continental Can Company drafting room," says the movie voiceover. She was a drafter, which my mother was also.
hate to break it to you, but "Get over it and drive your ladies, and consider not being able to vote or have autonomy over your own body. " does not come off as needy... it comes off as compassionate and empathetic, which i and most women i know really appreciate.
thank you for inspiring me to look this up... i just was watching that episode last night and noticed the line, wondering what it referenced. So i googled the lyric, and thanks to JoeGarrelli for confirming what i found with the line about "if it snows.."
Yes, love the dialogue and am always glad to learn more about the origin of lines like this!
ps--I am getting toward old myself, but can always learn new things =)
yep, she even says, "Tryin' to keep it classy." when he clarifies, "So, a shot?" It seems she is a trifle embarrassed to be ordering a shot of tequila in the daytime, also stressed about her life situation, her daughter, and probably somewhat nervous about going to see her family.
it now occurs to me it could be a reference to her being somewhat domineering, in a flirtatious way... like, "i'll be good"
that's how i took it--just watched today and went back to that line and played back with captions to make sure i understood what he said.
