The 1939 Of Mice and Men with Burgess Meredith and Lon Chaney Jr. is really well-done, you might want to see that.

2025-02-28 03:52:09 +0000 UTCI hope she plays Roman Holiday. And I'm not going to stop asking for "To Kill a Mockingbird."

2025-02-06 02:08:18 +0000 UTCRoman Holiday was Audrey Hepburn's 1st film & OMG she was so lovely. Sabrina is another Hepburn film & my favorite. You'd also love Sunset Blvd. It's an absolute classic. Dasha -- continue being so girly & pretty & come to America sometime!

2025-01-18 18:20:07 +0000 UTCI’m not disputing its importance in cinema history. I myself love film noir detective films but just happen to find Maltese Falcon uninteresting except as an exercise in style and atmosphere. So I do think she could potentially find it off putting, tedious and otherwise unimpressive-for all the reasons I listed before-despite its historically influential, innovative style, even if she is a fan of other detective films. I think the other films on the list would be much more enjoyable for her to watch. And I do think they have much more to offer. They all have much better scripts, much better acting, likable characters, emotionally engaging stories AND gorgeous black and white cinematographic style and atmosphere. But sure, she might end up loving it, who knows.
Peter Gad
2025-01-14 17:59:49 +0000 UTCPresumably the solution to this would be for Dasha to eventually watch all these films. Frankly, I could watch her react to a 1950s public School information film about the basic food groups, and I would be completely entertained...😉
Troy Hickman
2025-01-14 17:57:57 +0000 UTCMaltese Falcon set the standard by which all subsequent detective fiction would be judged, it has won several awards and is one of the highest rated movies ever. Dont put your subjective taste in front of what Dasha may or may not enjoy. She has always been an open minded reactor and has loved other black and white movies on her channel. She especially mentions a lot that she loves detective films. So im not sure what convinces you that this isnt her taste. This is exactly her kind of movie.
JokesterHollywood
2025-01-14 04:21:56 +0000 UTCDasha, out of all of these, you will like The Maltese Falcon the least by far. It’s a shame people vote without keeping the reactor’s taste in mind. Maltese Falcon has an iconic style, some iconic lines and the charisma of Humphrey Bogart, but doesn’t have much more to offer in my opinion. Endless heavy handed expository dialogue. A complete absence of organic emotion. No character is worth rooting for. A plot not worth caring about (at least to me.). I really hope you won’t be put off by black and white movies after watching Maltese Falcon, because the rest of the movies on this list are real gems I think you’ll love. Definitely be sure to watch ROMAN HOLIDAY with Audrey Hepburn. A delightful, perfectly made film. And then be sure to get to another sublime black and white Audrey Hepburn classic not on the list, SABRINA.
Peter Gad
2025-01-13 19:57:07 +0000 UTCI do! If the warp drive can be created, it will bend space bringing two distant points together for a short trip rather than traveling through space to get there, so it still won't break the law about the lightspeed limit. I've seen it explained as putting a dot at two ends of a paper. Traveling through space from one dot to the other is limited by the speed of light. However, if you warp space you bring the two dots together (folding the paper) and then it's just a small hop. Fascinating stuff!
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2025-01-13 15:26:14 +0000 UTCWatch it!
thebeefmaster
2025-01-13 14:42:14 +0000 UTCSome scientists have come to the conclusion that a warp drive propulsion system is allowed by Einstein's Theory of Relativity. If they are correct, and I believe that they are, then information, be it a person with a message, something written down, digital data, etc., could be transmitted (moved) about at faster than light speed. I love to think about these kinds of things. Sounds like you do too.
thebeefmaster
2025-01-13 14:36:22 +0000 UTCI am, and entanglement is very strange stuff! That information isn't traveling through space though, so it's not violating that rule. There is a great channel that breaks this stuff down, called Arvin Ash.
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2025-01-13 14:14:13 +0000 UTCNo information travels through space faster than light. ?? Are you aware of quantum entanglement? It is what Einstein called "spooky action at a distance". My explanation for this phenomenon is that everything in creation contains a God particle and therefore every particle can be in instantaneous/simultaneous communication with every other particle.
thebeefmaster
2025-01-13 11:12:53 +0000 UTCIt is a personal favorite of mine from when I first saw it as a little kid about 8 yrs old. It made me a Cagney and Bogart fan. I am shocked that it gets so overlooked considering how powerful and moving film that it is with such a stellar cast. I hope that it will get discovered by some reactors and bring it to the attention of new generations of movie lovers.
Tom Castro
2025-01-12 19:03:46 +0000 UTC🤷♂️ I'll take a bad reaction, or at least an update. I didn't vote for it originally, but got talked into reevaluating and changing my vote to it by the patrons here. I hope it comes out.
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2025-01-12 15:20:24 +0000 UTCYeah it won that poll, but I also think she probably didn't like it and doesn't want to give us a bad reaction. Or maybe she fell asleep during the reaction, lol. Personally, I never really liked that movie. So I would understand.
puppers
2025-01-12 15:02:57 +0000 UTCYeah, although the 2024 movie is called The Deliverance, and it's about a supposed demonic possession that took place about 90 miles from me here in Lafayette Indiana. Although both movies are arguably horror in their own way...😉
Troy Hickman
2025-01-12 07:09:07 +0000 UTCWhat? You're not getting any younger? Man, I feel sorry for you guys that are not getting any younger. I'm a regular Benjamin Button...😉
Troy Hickman
2025-01-12 06:57:41 +0000 UTCYeah, I think overall I prefer Harold Lloyd as well. For horror/fantasy, I think Dasha could probably appreciate Nosferatu, The Phantom of the Opera, The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, and Metropolis. And if we also want to throw in early sound films, the Fritz Lang / Peter Lorre masterpiece M. It would be great if any of us could watch Chaney in London After Midnight, but alas it doesn't exist anymore.
Troy Hickman
2025-01-12 06:53:20 +0000 UTCA great choice, probably the most serious of the Dead End Kids/Bowery Boys films, of which I am a fan.
Troy Hickman
2025-01-12 06:43:36 +0000 UTCA great (and often overlooked) black and white movie is "Angels With Dirty Faces". It stars screen legends James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Pat O'brien and The Dead End Kids. But be prepared: you will cry at the end.
Tom Castro
2025-01-12 06:23:38 +0000 UTCPlease don't do that to us. I don't want to wait another year for her to read the book, and I'm not getting any younger.
Eddie Perkins
2025-01-12 04:12:00 +0000 UTCI would suggest reading the book before watching the movie. Unless people don’t read books anymore…
Doce
2025-01-12 02:41:42 +0000 UTCJust make sure it's the 1972 film. not the 2024
Eddie Perkins
2025-01-12 01:44:07 +0000 UTCI like Harold Lloyd better than Chaplin when it comes to silent comedies, but if I were to pick a silent film, it would be Nosferatu or The Phantom of the Opera. I love classic horror, even when it is silent, and Lon Chaney was the best!
Eddie Perkins
2025-01-12 01:37:58 +0000 UTCOr you can put your own music soundtrack to it. Imagine Thomas Edison's 1910 silent version of Frankenstein with Edgar Winter's hard rocking song Frankenstein in the background...🎸🎶
Troy Hickman
2025-01-12 01:35:31 +0000 UTCEddie, I have used both the novel and the movie in my creative writing and English classes. I am amazed when I get college students who were never required to read it in public school.
Troy Hickman
2025-01-12 01:30:58 +0000 UTCDash, I would say so. It's based on one of the best novels ever written, it falls into that category of old timey movies that you like, and it is such a powerful human story. Gregory Peck gives an iconic performance, and if you watch closely you'll even see a young Robert Duvall in there. If you watch it, I promise to supply the popcorn...😉
Troy Hickman
2025-01-12 01:29:15 +0000 UTCSome schools still teach To Kill a Mockingbird. For example, the Biloxi, Mississippi, school district removed the book from its 8th-grade curriculum in 2017, but many teachers still taught it in 2022. It's a must-watch.
Eddie Perkins
2025-01-12 01:14:45 +0000 UTCYou can even make your own dialogue if you want xD
Thats MR. Baldamort
2025-01-11 22:48:23 +0000 UTC@Dasha TO kill a mockingbird should be watched at least onces by every human on this planet. It would be awesome to have you watch it regardless of polls. Much like oppenhimer, its one of those movies you need to watch at least once in your life. Important films in cinema history. For their own separate reasons.
Thats MR. Baldamort
2025-01-11 22:46:48 +0000 UTCI am gonna watch it now :)
Dasha
2025-01-11 22:42:09 +0000 UTCshould we watch it without the poll?
Dasha
2025-01-11 22:41:31 +0000 UTCsilent films means I never talk over the important dialogue lol
Dasha
2025-01-11 22:41:08 +0000 UTCThat's funny. I need to start making sure autocorrect is turned off. For some reason, it loves referring to me as the second person.
Eddie Perkins

Fantomex
2025-01-11 20:13:36 +0000 UTCI'd love to see you react to one of Charlie Chaplin's silent films. I'd recommend 'City Lights' (1931).
Beddoe
2025-01-11 19:22:01 +0000 UTCHere's another one. If you stretched a row of hot dogs from here to the moon, you would really be wasting a lot of food...
Troy Hickman
2025-01-11 17:38:36 +0000 UTCPar-contre l'inconvénient c'est qu'il y a plus d'humour verbal que de ĺ'humour visuelle, ça peut être compliqué si on a pas l'habitude. ( moi après ça ne me dérange pas je suis du genre curieux de tout)
FredLeChouan
2025-01-11 17:33:27 +0000 UTCReplace the two lowest with To Kill a Mockingbird and Paper Moon and that would be one killer poll
Joseph Powell
2025-01-11 16:25:42 +0000 UTCI agree Jokester I'd rather a reactor be honest. If they don't like a movie Ido I don't care. Not everyone is going to like what I do, just like I won't like things that others do.
Tony Rossell
2025-01-11 15:51:48 +0000 UTCYeah, I was the same way with Texas Chainsaw Massacre...
Troy Hickman
2025-01-11 15:33:24 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite movies. Man, I envy you your upbringing. My mom would have been hard-pressed to name a movie, let alone make me watch one. She probably would have thought that To Kill a Mockingbird was part of a pie recipe...
Troy Hickman
2025-01-11 15:32:10 +0000 UTCI for one, if Dasha didn't like it, welcome when a reactor is honest about not liking a movie. Thousand and thousands of movies exist, you won't like all of them. Its impossible to expect that of a movie reactor, and it sucks that reactors are afraid of a little controversy now and then for simply being honest, yet many people at the same time also hate "fakeness" because how dare they like all the movies they watch. There is no winning with movie reactors sometime. Dammed if you do dammed if you don't.
JokesterHollywood
2025-01-11 14:20:21 +0000 UTCI know she would love "To Kill a Mockingbird." Well, not literally. But the movie. It's one of those movies my mother made me watch when I was young, and I didn't want to because it was black and white, but it turned out to be one of your favorite movies.
Eddie Perkins
2025-01-11 13:35:10 +0000 UTCBaldamort, I love space stuff as well. It's mind boggling. Human brains evolved under pressures to solve problems we encounter to our survival here on Earth. They did not evolve to understand things like particle and wave function or black holes. Those concepts are alien to our minds. It's incredible that we have developed enough to begin to understand these things through math and observation.
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2025-01-11 13:18:06 +0000 UTCSpot on Troy! Everything we see is our brains interpreting light received by our eyes. Light travels at a certain speed. Over large distances it takes light time to travel. The Sun - for instance - is 8 light minutes away. When we see the Sun, we are seeing it as it was 8 minutes ago. If the Sun were to magically vanish right now, we would not only still see it there for 8 minutes, but our planet would still orbit the Sun for that 8 minutes as well, even though its gone. No information travels through space faster than light. Pertaining to the original question, if you were at a point 65 million light years away and you were lookng at Earth through a super telescope, you would be receiving light that left the Earth 65 million years ago. Light that left Earth when dinosaurs still walked the Earth. So that is what you would see. Any light that left the Earth when humans ruled hasnt traveled all that far yet in cosmic terms. This is one reason why we know so much about the Universe. When we look deep into space with the James Webb Telescope or the Hubble, we are seeing the Universe as it was a long time ago. If we look at a galaxy that is 1 billion light years away, it means we are seeing that galaxy as it was a billion years ago, not as it is today. In fact, many of the stars we see no longer exist. This is just one fascinating thing about the Universe. Black holes are another incredible phenomenon.

Fantomex
2025-01-11 11:51:34 +0000 UTCI humbly recommend the B&W movie: "The Flying Deuces" It is a film by the comic duo Laurel and Hardy And is also available on YT in full :-)

2025-01-11 07:22:46 +0000 UTCIm a space nerd. I specifically love reading about the fermi paradox. That one will make you crap your pants a bit.
Thats MR. Baldamort
2025-01-11 06:35:08 +0000 UTCSince you asked this last time I've come up with a couple of theories. Maybe it's in copy right hell right now, or maybe she didn't like it and is hesitant to post it worried about negative backlash, like how Cassie won't post Batman '89. I'm probably wrong and think you're right but figured I'd share my theories.
Tony Rossell
2025-01-11 06:34:11 +0000 UTCI think you can make an argument that she did that 2 years ago...
Troy Hickman
2025-01-11 05:42:24 +0000 UTCIt's true. I could watch Jimmy Stewart painting a garage and be fascinated...
Troy Hickman
2025-01-11 05:41:44 +0000 UTCOkay, here's one for you. If you put an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters...the stench would be ungodly...
Troy Hickman
2025-01-11 05:39:43 +0000 UTCIt's either because a light year is how far light can travel in a year, and therefore you would be looking at the light that was reaching you at that distance which emanated during the time of dinosaurs... or because after all of that traveling, you decided to unwind with a few stiff drinks...
Troy Hickman
2025-01-11 05:38:18 +0000 UTCAnyone want to add why this is true?
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2025-01-11 04:42:56 +0000 UTCOff Topic: Interesting Facts! If you jumped to 65 million lightyears away from our planet, turned around and pointed a strong enough telescope at Earth, you would see dinosaurs walking around.
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2025-01-11 04:41:56 +0000 UTCI like that too we need more people to like and recommend this most excellent movie🍿🍿🍿
Joseph Powell
2025-01-11 02:15:24 +0000 UTCIt's true. Few movies have so deeply explored male bonding...

Eddie Perkins
2025-01-10 22:15:03 +0000 UTCShe told me she had recorded it; I am also waiting.
Eddie Perkins
2025-01-10 22:10:14 +0000 UTCMan, all of these would be great. I'm a huge Marx Brothers fan and Dasha should watch all of their stuff. But Frank Capra is my favorite director, so I'm also leaning toward Arsenic and Old Lace. But Jimmy Stewart is my favorite actor, and he's in the Philadelphia Story. On the other hand...😉
Troy Hickman
2025-01-10 22:09:16 +0000 UTCYou may not like it, its just your personal subjective taste. Oppenhimers SEVEN Oscar wins and record breaking profits and ratings will say otherwise lol.

2025-01-10 17:35:38 +0000 UTCI'd love to see Dasha react to a Marx Brothers movie! Doesn't look like 'Duck Soup' is getting much love though. 'Some Like It Hot' is hilarious.
