Amazing that such an old movie still bears freshness and new lessons for us all:
how to draw the "reader" in from the first moments; how to make the "reader" become YOU, and you here are this "Mrs. Miniver".
Voted one of the greatest movies of all time, take a lesson.
Joey will be here to troll and say obscene things. But you know better than to listen to insane, inane natterings.
Enjoy Mrs. Miniver! Look outside of ourselves, into the souls of the great actors, writers, directors, cinematographers, all in concert to make real poetry of such depth as we rarely find in simple print.

this is more bentsky bento, and the post has that familiar flavor -- note the 'new lessons for us all' as though culture was something you could learn by exposing your self to great works of art -- in netsky's case it doesn't seem a viable plan.
so, the form of the thread -- posting a thread as thought to say, 'peek-a-boo' i've got a surprise!! and the surprise turns out to be a link to a movie -- and, i'm wondering if this is poetry.critical and video rental suddenly, because this inane film out of a marginal film culture isn't art at all -- unless you're not able to watch film as film. if you aren't then this would work as well as peggy in pink.
'joey will be here to troll...' but, isn't this trolling a poetry critical site? will they not let him troll his shit in blockbuster.critical.org? are we to care? isn't he dead yet? apparently so or not, because the films he suggests just don't seem to have a pulse. why not name-drop a very challenging film like antonioni's 'l'eclisse' -- scurry to the wiki, boyz -- something which really takes some energy to watch and yet is so fundamentally fun and human -- a mixture of pain and acceptance and a mixture not involving little boys in wet diapers needing a hug. or, if need be, and for the most amazing and strange thing, how about 'gold diggers of 1935' -- the one with 'lullaby of broadway' -- i know n. just discovered the net and google, but some things are things everyone who's anyone knows from the first... and we know, from the wording, how much yours truly and nesty want to 'be somebody.
come on along and listen to,
the lullaby of broadway --
the hi-di-hi and hoop-ta-do--
the lullaby of broadway --
the rumble of the subway train,
the rattle of the taxi.
the daffodils who entertain
at angelo's and maxies...
i'll stop now, because the last time i posted this -- and i used to post this kind of fun stuff often here -- back when nesty was an angry troll whom everyone hated -- yes, the last time i posted this here it was, i think, virgil who was offended by the 'corny' lyrics. i tell ya, folks, these young squirts like netsky's got it easy -- no one even bothers to comment on his actual content except me -- that's because i know this stuff and use it as part of my consciousness -- all of our culture -- check out my, 'the continental' for a few cimemagic moments...
into the souls of the great actors... more than in simple print -- lord, this boy has never read an autobiography. what precious innocence -- he could act in films in the 1940's -- could be an ashtray in a pressburger-powell production of 'milkmen's lunch'.

inane, insane natterings, as predicted.
The value of this thread was and is only in the opening post.
I now abandon this thread to sink. But some of you are enjoying right now,
Mrs. Miniver. I'm watching it too right now, pausing for a chapter to load via our local low-level DSL service, and to kill time and have fun, check in to see what our fleabag perfessor had to say: nothing of interest nor value. Notice too how he projects his needs onto me: as if I posted poetry here in order to gain favour or commentary. I post poetry here to park my carcass' utterings, farts or masterpieces, it does not matter. I'm not here for strokes nor for competing with others. But I certainly do enjoy "competing" (calling down) our resident cretinous snob, Michael Bauer.
"cretinous snob" really fits that fellow. I think I'll re-name ragweed for him. a chew.

as i've suggested before, this site is a dumpster for you and you're our very own dumpster lady. i'm not trying to stop you posting, i'm trying to get you to stop taking downers.
