    Posted this around the corner too.

    I sat thru ‘Joker’ today with my grandson, he thought it was going to be more Batmanish than it was – general consensus between us was ‘there’s 2 hours and 2 minutes out of our lives wasted we’ll never see again’. Interesting that we were there for the first showing on the 2nd day of run and there was a total of four of us in the theater. The company releasing the movie had forced the theater to devote two of its four screens to Joker for its initial run but in all there were fewer than a dozen viewers, even at prime time on a hot Saturday afternoon.

    The movie is a Hollywood social engineering mulligatawny stew that also, as a minor byproduct, creates an alternative timeline for the Batman Joker thru the murder of Bruce Wayne’s parents…almost as an afterthought.

    What I noticed as a theme throughout the movie was a somewhat sanitized Antifa/Democratic-Left theme of ‘kill the rich’. OK, you didn’t have too look topo hard, it was right out front from the early-on where Thomas Wayne’s presented as a shady billionaire businessman running for high political office – sound familiar? The denouement features Jokers descent into madness and leadership of a huge mob of masked (Antifa doubles) rioting, looting, burning and generally acting like Young Democrats of America members as they violently protested rich Americans and they were all wearing a particular clown mask. Now I’m not saying Hollyork planned this but it seems that the release timeline coupled with the plot will probably mean we’ll see a lot of ‘eat the rich’ rioting at both conventions next year. If you want to see Joker I’d suggest waiting until it hits Redbox or Netflix, that way you can pause it to go to the head, fetch something to eat/drink or go out and wax your lawn furniture. To me it’s main draw is what I see as the first major release in the 2020 Hollyork Death to Republicans campaign.

        About 2 the sky clouded up and it started to rwin big drops. Czar had just brought in some laundry off the line. It rained for about 5-6 minutes, then eased to a drizzle, couple of claps of thunder, then started up again. All gone now but totaled 3/10 inch in under an hour. We haven’t had any rain in about 3 weeks! Grass and trees really needed it! Temp is now 82 rather than the 92 degrees before it started raining.

      Just remembered…
      My ex-FIL was a WWII D-Day vet, went over the shore and was found by medics badly (as if there’s a ‘googly’) bayoneted and almost dead. They triaged him to a medic station where they basically wrote him off but when things slowed a doc came by to see who was dead and who wasn’t. They found him breathing, worked on him and he survived to not only retire from the Air Force but also the county sheriff’s department.

      When he was in the hospice dying of cancer he’d mentioned in passing that his favorite movie was John Wayne’s ‘She Wore a Yellow Ribbon’. Czarina and I ran all over NOLA trying to find a copy (back in the pre-Amazon and VHS only), bought one sand overnighted it. He didn’t get to see it but he died with it on his nightstand, he was THE John Wayne fan.

        John Wayne was Mom’s very fav in the whole wide world. Mom was in her last year (2009), and she, too, wanted John Wayne movies.
        Lacking loads of cash, John Wayne movies became my focus in my previous notorious career (torrenting), and there were loads of John Wayne movies available.
        All were added to my collection after Mom left.
        John Wayne was – still is – the best.

          You will note that Wayne wore a gold-colored bracelet on his right wrist, you can see it in every movie he made after the 1968 The Green Berets.

          It was presented to him by the Montagnards as a sign of friendship when he made a 6 week trip to Vietnam to thank the troops for serving. He wore it every day of his life after that and the story is he was buried wearing it.

      Such a well made film. Shirley Temple was married to the actor who plays the 2nd Lieutenant–John Agar–at the time this was filmed. Read about the film at: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040369/

    lilbirdee12’s prayer:

    Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.

    Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.

    Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.

    Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
    Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.

    We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
    Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.

    A prayer for Justice Kavanaugh and Gen. Flynn:

    Prayer to St. Michael

    St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
    be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
    May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
    and do you, O prince of the heavenly host,
    by the power of God,
    thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits
    who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

    In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
