"From Hell's heart I stab at thee. I spit my last breath at thee, thou damned whale."

Notice how the Quaker Starbuck inherits Ahab's fanaticism and thus dooms everyone.

"Hot as Satan's hoof" What a writer Melville was.

He had the three major races, as he saw it, provide the muscle as harpooneers. Ahab has the three mates arrange a new crucifix with their harpoons, a pagan symbol of man's rebellion against nature's and God's way.

Vonnegut books seem never to translate to the screen. But why should they? They can only to be read, I guess.

Check out the bored guy in the crowd.

Heart wrenching.

Yes, Lord.

"He will drink his super sauce,

And throw the bad guys for a loss."

Right up there with Lorenz Hart.

Jesus is neither a capitalist nor a socialist. Jesus is interested only in matters of the spirit, not in worldly things.

This wolf in sheep's clothing is cleverly using a method known by many as "reverse engineering."

He uses positions already taken by Oprah Winfrey and characterizes them as positions she will take in the future.

Also, recognizing her popularity, he decides to say she will be sincere but neverthele...

@402maypo Wikipedia - - Beginning in the spring of 1870, she was "bound out" to a local family to help care for their infant son, on the false promise of fifty cents a week and an education. She spent about two years in near-slavery to them where she endured mental and physical abuse (Annie refer...

And the champagne splashed in Keefer's face leaves what? A yellow stain.

Bogart, Ferrer, McMurray, Johnson, Marshall (my ranking of good performances).

@movievaudeville A commonly held belief, or myth, is that he worked on it at the Indiana University campus in a building across from the Law School. It was a malt shop at the time, supposedly.

You don't have to be an atheist to oppose the twisted things that are getting pushed into curricula in places like Texas.

Pro-growth and pro-government are not mutually exclusive.

This age is characterized in part by extreme suspicion of government. But government is just a tool, either to be used or not used in a given situation while respecting the Bill of Rights in the Constitution.

Socialism is an economic system in which the state owns the means of production. It was considered a stage toward the development of communism. In socialism the individual has personal possessions; in communism he does not. Debs was not a Democrat but a Social Democrat. He did refuse to stop ...

Jesus did not hurt anyone (here). He may have been breaking some law, such as vandalism, willful destruction of property, disturbing the peace(?)

It's always hard to put Jesus' actions in a worldly, legalistic light. (He advocated paying taxes and his parents participated in the Roman Census, ...

The eye of "the" needle was an entrance into Jerusalem only big enough for a man to pass through, but not a camel with all his possessions. I like this interpretation better since it deals with a realistic scenario.

Jefferson claimed few successes in his presidency, even though there were several. Exploration of the West, Louisiana Purchase, maintaining neutrality during foreign wars.

However, Federalist opponent Hamilton was indeed a stellar Treasury head.

@brandonterzic If I may presume to say it,

in saying this, you, Brandon, are not far from the Kingdom of God.

Well done.

@TerraRyzinglives Legend has it Mick Jagger refused to go onstage after JB's performance at first. But even more astounding, the act they used to draw a big audience was . . . Lesley Gore.

This guy came back more often than Nixon.

Great act, though.

Howard Caine does very well here too. His facial expressions while in the foreground are hard to look away from. Much better than what he will be remembered for.

@pinkfloyd32389 I never heard of one of those coming from heaven before.

(Only kidding. I know you really meant "pennies.")

Evil doesn't yield to arithmetic . Does it matter that one monster killed more than another because he had the opportunity?

Churchill had it right. Stalin was like a hyena, the lesser of two evils.

Hitler was the ravenous wolf who needed to be eliminated first.

Let's hear it for Clifton Webb and his portrayal of a self-centered, insecure man who learns to love a child who is not his.

His tearful eyes at the end.

Although there is no need to rank actors in this film, with so many good performances nothing can match the testimonies of Clift and Garland.

@BeareTube How about Kevin Spacey? He can sing and act. He's not afraid to look less attractive than he really is. He could really do a good job on the tragedy of Edwards' drug problem.

Reference the "Great Disappointment" of 1844.

The most fascinating thing about Atwater was that, as death closed in on him, he recanted his tactics against his Democratic opponents.

Hopeful, no?
