Winter of Our Disco Tent: Lounge LC Thread - Page 2 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

Just polished off a delightful plate of spagetti and meat sauce and having an egg nog white russian for dessert. My first holiday drink of the season. These things are tasty but very heavy. One of these things is plenty. Continuing my Christmas movie binge. Tonight I am going with classics. Miracle on 34th Street and unless I pass out White Christmas.

I’ve had a lot of holiday drinks this season. You might say i’m a holiday drink-aholic hahahaha

I think Boxing Day is for the benefit of the servants.

Cary Grant. Christmas is Cary Grant.

I watched The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant as an angel the other night.

Tested positive for COVID this morning, but I'm still taking care of my friend's dog and cats. Just walked the dog for 40 minutes. Fortunately, the COVID hasn't hit me hard. Will see tomorrow.

What's the accepted wisdom on Bringing Up Baby? I watched about the first 15 minutes, and am unsure whether to persevere with it.

Brilliant film, rife with innuendo. Connecticut is like the forest of Arden in Shakespeare where people change. I love teaching the film because I can bring out all the ribald humor. We understand the double entendres even if the couple don't.

Check out Katharine Hepburn's golf swing.

Stick with it, charlie. I can't dissect films like John, Dom, MSchu et al, but I'd say it is a must-see.

In addition to the innuendo , loved the clever wordplay (i.e., "You've got to get out of this apartment!" dialog). Even I could see the Marx Brothers, Zucker brothers, etc descendance.

My granddaughter gave me a book for Christmas: 1200 words to make you sound smarter.

Haven't consulted it yet.

I did have to look this one up. Didn't realize this fear of 23 was a thing.

Detroit Pistons are 2-28. List 27 games in a row, which means they had a winning record after three games.

Let's have a Forum contest to guess what that tray is for, or is everybody too young to remember seeds?

I always thought that if you were doing it on a record album, then the album selection was very important.

I remember although I haven't touched the stuff in 50 years.
