Looney Tunes

Of course, you realize, this means war! - Bugs B

Grand-daughter and I are into my Looney Tune Golden Collection DVD. We love Tweedy, Bugs, Porky, Sylvester and those little mice. I laugh out loud when she is watching with me. Grand kids are grand companions!

More Peter Sellers

Peter Sellers: "Do you have a room?" "Room" = "zimmer" in German. "Does your dog bite?" Just a bit of help with the dialogue.

Does your dog bite? - Maggie's Farm#comments

A must read about dogs is James Thurber's short story, "The Dog That Bit People" -- be prepared to laugh. It is also a superb piece of writing.

Chauncey Gardiner. . .

Amazon.com: Being There: Peter Sellers Oh, boy...stupid is as stupid does, somebody said -- Forest Gump wasn't it? I found the movie (Being There) agonizing--who could be that naive? And who could not see his naivete?

Peter Sellers is always a hoot to watch though, and in my mind's eye can still see his innocent, simple face as he plays Chauncey Gardiner. The movie is built on the premise that people see what they want, not necessarily on what is real.

The Bible says there is coming a man who will deceive the world. Daniel speaks of him: "And in his estate (the one destroyed in verse 20) shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceable, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries" (Daniel 11:21).

And the Apostle Paul tells us about him: "...that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).

People will see what they want...but not see what is real. Let's not be deceived...keep reading the Book of Truth.

Movie: In the Valley of Elah

Elah is where David meets Goliath (I Samuel 17). Not sure exactly the meaning of the title in relation to the film. The story of David and Goliath was mentioned a couple of times but who was David and who was Goliath representing? Don't know. I was hooked by the title, but agree with the review below. Pass on this one.

The premise: Four tough guys go out, get drunk and rowdy, which leads to a fight, murder and cover-up. Good start for a crime mystery. As the movie goes on, we find out why the above occurred: The guys were in the army; soldiers are psychopathic torturers, drug addicts and child killers; this occurs because war is immoral, the military is immoral, and the United States of America is a horrible place.

Otherwise, nothing to see here, move along folks. One incident summarizes the disrespect and cluelessness of the filmmakers: Near the end, Tommy Lee, a veteran with two dead veteran sons, hoists a U.S. flag that had been in battle, upside down. NO veteran anywhere, anytime would commit that act. Sickening.

From what movie?
