Healthcare in the US

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 12 May

I finally got some health care, because my front two teeth fillings came off after flossing. It looks horrible. So I call the dentist and tell them.. I have to wait a month. Fine.. I go today and all they do is take photos. They...

Funniest Ways You Embarrassed Your Parents?

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 11 May

I remember a story my mom told me from when I was about four or five. We were visiting some family friends, and when my dad said, “Well, we have a few things to do and some places to go,” I interrupted and said, “No we don’t —...

Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade (2025 Documentary)

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 7 May

I’ve read about a dozen books on John Lennon. He’s always been a hero of mine, and I hope it’s good and accurate. It just came out today. Not sure where. Has anyone seen this? Looking forward to it? I only saw 12 votes on IMDB and...

Judging Movies By Their Message

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 25 Apr

I think it's an inherent—and often subconscious—bias, but I wonder how much it shapes our final judgment of a movie. When a film presents an allegory or microcosm that aligns with our worldview, are we more likely to praise it,...

Any1 Forego a Car To Ride w/ Uber?

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 14 Apr

Buying a car is expensive. Even a used car will have a ton of repairs. Gas. Oil changes, etc.. But an Uber ride can't be that expensive for a 5-10 mile trip. Anyway, if anyone has experience transitioning from one to another,...

Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison (2025)

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 7 Feb

Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison - 1/10 This thing annoyed me so much…… I’ll add only that I was going to avoid leaving an IMDB review because I plan on uploading it, and don’t want the 2nd comment on IMDB to be a 1/10...

Favorite Hollywood Stories?

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 20 Jan

Especially funny and/or audacious ones.. I find it hilarious that Coppola faked a seizure in front of Paramount executives when they said "Marlon Brando will never be in this picture". I think it helped because Coppola actually...

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 28 Dec

Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary How am I ever going to write this "review"... "So much to say.... free to, love only you". I didn't want to even see this, but someone gave me their password, and whatever.. The last 40 years of...

Audiobooks on YouTube (books that became movies)

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 25 Dec

Some people rather read or listen to the book before checking out a movie. I like audiobooks if they're narrated by the author, but I've only read a handful of fiction in my life and stick to biographies, but once listened to...

Great Movies w/ Singular Character in Solitary Despair?

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 25 Dec

Maybe a better question would be, "Is there a movie like 'Hunger'"? He's in every scene. The people he meets along the way aren't important, and take up no more than a few seconds. He's a writer who can't eat because he can't...

Why Are Senior Citizens So Much More Talkative Than People My Age?

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 13 Dec

I'm in my 40s and always noticed older people being pleasant and talkative. I have no social media or "smart" phone.. I spent my 20s traveling the world. People I know all stay home, and so do I.. It seems like begging trying to...

Do You Use Your Imagination A Bit Too Much?

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 20 Nov

When I was a kid, it made a little more sense, since there was still time to achieve goals and such, but in my 40s, I can't just turn it off. I should consciously try to limit it to earlier in the day, but it might only manifest...

Favorite On-Screen Couple?

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 5 Nov

Forget about real life. Just on the screen. For me, it's easy. Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. They made a lot of movies together. Most are great, even though there's one where Marcello plays a gay guy! Still a great...

Historical Figures and Accuracy

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 2 Sep

Stalin and Saddam are two men I've read off and on for decades, and there's SO many differing accounts, even minor things. There's a handful of stories of a possible trade for prisoner Jakov. I think readers should always...

Do Quiet Characters Have An Advantage?

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 31 Aug

The more mysterious an actor is, there’s more curiosity. I’ve seen non-actors play a part in a mediocre movie but come across as a good performance. There’s less probability to come across as fake to the audience, as opposed to a...

AI, ChatGPT, and other Bots

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 31 Aug

There's so many I thought I'd ask here for recommendations (Free) and the things people can do using their imagination. I notice that ChatGPT is full of SO many basic errors. Recommending me movies that don't exist, or mixing up...

In Old Movies, Everything Cost a Coin!

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 29 Aug

It reminds me of a Louis CK bit he did in a stand-up special.. And I notice it, too. No one asks for prices. A guy walks into a saloon, "I need a room. A woman. A shave. Steak dinner" and all you had to do was toss a coin at the...

Reply Do You Consider a Country's Size and Film Quality?

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 29 Aug

I've noticed something interesting after years of watching movies: the impact of a country's origin on the quality and quantity of films. I find myself considering not just the country of origin but also its population. For...

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 20 Mar 24

It's a really nice place. Half of it is a coffeeshop, and in the back, there's a stage and seating. They used to have Open Mic Nights on the last Thursday of the month, which would also appear on Channel 17 (Public Access) and a...

What Do You Daydream About?

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1140) • United States 29 Feb 24

When I read biographies, I tend to daydream about doing my own thing in that field.. Biography on a musician, or a director. Watching a great movie will exponentially activate my imagination (which never seems to stop) as well,...
