Sunday Night at the Movies: My Favorite Brunette (1947)

 Hello everyone. I have been using some of my free time to work on some long, and somewhat complex posts about travel, history, anthropology, race, politics, and more, however they are not ready yet. Also, I will be uploading some more movies which you may enjoy soon. In the meantime here is a past favourite of mine. My Favorite Brunette from 1947. I saw this when I was a rather lonely teenager, when it was aired on PBS, a long time ago now. I really enjoyed it when I saw it, and remember it still. It spoofs the film noir style, and stars Bob Hope and the lovely Dorothy Lamour. For some reason the copyright was not renewed and it is now in the public domain. It's a great film. It holds nostalgia for me and reminds me of being a teenager, before my life took a turn for the worse (much worse). Ah the memories...sometimes they are just precious. The description from Wikipedia:


My Favorite Brunette is a 1947 American romantic comedy film and film noir parody, directed by Elliott Nugent and starring Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour.[2] Written by Edmund Beloin and Jack Rose, the film is about a baby photographer on death row in San Quentin State Prison who tells reporters his history. While taking care of his private-eye neighbor's office, he is asked by an irresistible baroness to find a missing baron, which initiates a series of confusing but sinister events in a gloomy mansion and a private sanatorium. Spoofing movie detectives and the film noir style, the film features Lon Chaney, Jr. playing Willie, a character based on his Of Mice and Men role Lennie; Peter Lorre as Kismet, a comic take on his many film noir roles; and cameo appearances by film noir regular Alan Ladd and Hope partner Bing Crosby. Sequences were filmed in San Francisco and Pebble Beach, California.[3]

What happens on America's Subways - Wild Assaults and Murders - Typically Featuring one Demographic

Image
 There are so many, and I mean so many news stories and videos online of assaults, and murders on the subway systems particularly New York. What is one of the common denominators? Well people can point to lots of things like poverty, mental illness, and so forth, but to me it seems like it is Black people.  An old video but still relevant nonetheless. A woman riding the training only to be almost murdered by beating without provocation by a Wakandan prince: The craziness continues: The stabbings: I could go on all day.  How people can enjoy living in a place like that, without having their own private transportation is beyond me. Isn't New York one of the most expensive cities in the world too? Slave your whole life away just to be killed by violent crime...

Private elite schools teach "wokeness" to kindergarten children

Image
 Ridiculous and unbelievable, rich people are now paying tens of thousands of dollars to send their kids to indoctrination centers where they are taught that all Whites are racist, and everything in their society like math and science is "racist". It's all just so demented.  https://nypost.com/2021/12/19/private-preschools-teaching-the-future-elite-to-be-racist/ Private preschools are teaching the future elite to be racist Wokeness has come to New York City elite private schools. It has infested everything, from social interactions to math. A few weeks ago, teachers at Manhattan’s Brick Church School read “Our Skin: A First Conversation About Race” to several classes. In its lessons on racism, all the racists are, of course, white. One typical line: “A long time ago, way before you were born, a group of white people made up an idea called race.” The idea that people didn’t notice each other’s skin color or features until white people made them is, of course, absurd. “Our ...
