Nothing shows more solidarity for male/female equality than using a slow motion GIF of large breasts as your avatar.

285. OneBuckFilms in "Star Trek (TOS) Music Dissertation/Jessica Getman":

"I gave this a brief glance, and I suspect there is a lot of great material in there, however this is basically applying a far-left ideological lense to the subject matter: " it nevertheless reinforced the dominant
position of the white, heterosexual male in the United States’ social hierarchy."

To conflate basic classical liberal values with something uniquely "white", "heterosexual" and/or "male" before even getting beyond the introduction speaks volumes.

The " the white, heteronormative, male, American hero." description of Kirk is also telling regarding the focus.

And when I read " power theory, race and post-colonial theory, feminist and
queer theory," as methodologies, I don't see anything that is valid beyond the intersectional dogmatic lens.

With all due respect, I'll interpret Star Trek and it's music through the Classical Liberal lens, and not through an inherently bigoted, identitarian one."

Translation: "Gee can't we just get along and discuss music as I falsely accuse, personally attack and name call other members?"


Ray Worley in https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?forumID=1&pageID=1&threadID=136476&archive=0

Geez. Why does almost every thread these days have to be ruined with threatened guys moaning about the liberal, feminist, SJW warrior agenda? It's getting old fellas. Can't we just talk about the music?
This dissertation (while I've not been able to read it all yet) seems quite good to me and is mostly about the music. It does address the dominant mostly white, mostly male power structure which some seem to want to deny exists while at the same time clinging to it tenaciously and whining that all these women are being mean. But I don't think it concentrates on it to an unwarranted degree nor is at all biased or bigoted.

Some of you overly-sensitive dinosaurs are going to get another thread locked with this crap.

OneBuckFilms is on the right side of history. He dug deep and came up with the truth.

BTW, I take care of an elder gentleman that looks exactly like John Williams! Could it be?

Graham Watt:
Could be. Ask him. Although he's not the type to blow his own trumpet. He gets Tim Morrison or someone for that.

With no phelps we have to keep this going.
A fave of mine from Rameau - blowing the whistle on the reality of Woodstock - in the What are you currently watching tv programmes thread.


Woodstock- 3 days that defined a generation, the documentary by directors Barak Goodman and Jamila Ephron.

"they were expecting 150,000 attendees maximum but in july 1969 half a million people from all walks of life converged on a small dairy farm in upstate New York. They came to hear the concert of their lives, but most experienced something far more profound: a moment that came to define a cultural revolution."


I saw it last night, I thought it was a lovely documentary, just made up of 8mm footage that some people shot (& quite a lot of it), plus a bit of b/w video, with comments from the people who shot it, & at the end it told you what happened to those people, which was a nice touch. I know I would have hated it, all those people, rain (& not many tents to be seen) lack of food, & it seemed like a bit of music & a lot of hanging around. I don't even like live music (I have no soul).

289. BillCarson waxing poetic over the legndary British sitcom DAD'S ARMY in "Only Fools and Horses: Britain's Best Sitcom?":

"Dads Army was different gravy.
Not just for the comedy and the wacky types of British characters seen in every english village - the butcher helping out the glamorous ladies with meat (Jones); the miserable dour scottish undertaker (Fraser); the dodgy spiv always on the make (Walker); the narky, officious Air raid warden; the creepy whingeing kid (pike) that wilson had to put up with coz he was bonking his pretty mum, the dozy old boy who permanently needed the loo (Godfrey); but most of all, the bristling, seething underlying class differences between Mainwaring and Wilson - which was a running gag in almost every episode. And the comedy was also more powerful because they regularly used pathos and poignancy too, but it was always done just right, not too sickly. And much of it worked so well because of the impeccable, inspired casting.

To this day it is unsurpassed."

Tom Hayden died in 2016 and was given a state funeral in Berkeley, California.

Many FSMers openly wept.

290. BerkeleyinDavid NOT responding to my post in "To Start a Nerd War":

"DinB, you have not demonstrated a suitable ability to conduct this nerd war.

Therefore, I'm relieving you of nerd war duty and taking command of this thread!*

*Done in voice of Jean-Luc Godard, Trek's greatest captain."


Bastard knew he was unfit for nerd war command which is why his word was "mum." big grin

291. Bob DiMucci's Pulp Fiction review in "What Movie Did You Watch?":

"I finally caught up with Quentin Tarentino's magnum opus (or at least it was until ONCE UPON A TIME...IN HOLLYWOOD)..."

Hi-larious.

292. dragon53 in "Maj. Matt Mason, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, STAR WARS", admitting that he never heard of Doctor Doom:

"THAT NEIL GUY:

"I just looked up "Doctor Doom"......there really is a Doctor Doom. I don't read comic books, so I didn't know that."

293. First Breath in "Tangerine Dream Nirvana", explaining his reasons in detail for disliking 1970s TD music, and Octoberman's most un-Octoberman dismissal of said detailed explanation.

I won't repost the exchange, but move your asses to the appropriate thread and read it yourselves:

Oh man, and here I was, hoping that the irony I was trying to highlight would be caught by at least somebody.
But, it went completely undetected.
Dang, Ock sad now. frown
