Goodfellas and Casino, didn't care about any of the characters in either.

They solved that hat problem on the Andy Griffith show:

No good reason to wear a hat on backward now.
Unless you have a catchers mask on your face, there is not good reason...

When the players in the film are not sympathetic to you it's hard to get involved.
Cloverfield was like that to me. the people in it were not engaging to me. I sat thru the film with friends as an open discussion of "what to do in this type of scenario."

You are giving Lincsong more nightmare subjects.
Hard Day's
For goodness sake, its a musical with lousy actors and singers in it. :eusa_doh:
The music was great; if it didn't strike a chord with some, that's their opinion. As regards acting ability, it wasn't a prerequisite, that's for sure. But the Beatles, particularly John, could be rather clever in their humor, in an odd British way, that is.

In 1964 they were pretending to be normal and all Ricky Nelsonish. They fooled you.
Blame it on their manager, Brian Epstein!lol Actually, blame it on Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for helping to mess them up!
I think he was last sighted in the Bay Area...

John Lennon was a good song writer and good with music however a lot of people said that in his personal life he treated a lot of people very poorly. My biggest peeve over this is there are so many that consider him to be "Saint John the Humanist" an attribute all of this LOVE to him when he was in reality a ba***rd to everyone else. So the duality of his nature is totally swept under the rug by so many of the duped culture.
Same thing with Frank Lloyd Wright masterful architect and designer that treated so many people like crap and gets a pass on it.

I dont know how much of a pass Wright got. Ive read a number of his biographies, and theyve all said he wasnt the nicest guy. He also wasnt prancing around wearing a tie-dyed dashiki singing, 'Love, love, love . . . ' so Im not sure why Wright is relevant to Lennon.

The song "Imagine" grates on me every time I have to hear it. Imagine there is no heaven? So I should be content with this fallen world? Regading duality of nature, we see that with a few 20th century humanitarian "icons," whose shady pasts/theories/etc. often get swept under the carpet, and you dare not speak of them in anything but glowing terms...But back to the movies.

Both Lennon and Wright are "artists" that have a huge following but lived lives where they treated the people around them very poorly. That's the connection.
In this world you are what you do. How you treat others has more of a bearing on who you are than even great accomplishments. If one loves Beethoven, were good to one's family and played with the family dog but that is after a hard day running the death camps, one doesn't get a pass. If one were a Mafia hood and killed or had killed a number of people in one's career, writing a check to build a new hospital wing doesn't offset the murders.
Unfortunately there are a number of people that had not just one indiscretion but a series or lifetime of them that remain heroic in the eyes of others because of some achievement say something like their voting record in the Senate or Congress. There are some deeds or attitudes that cannot be worked off by good deeds. How a person treats others is a truer indication of their concerns and their real nature.
It's like the idea that the gangsters that ran a city during the Depression opened Soup Kitchens for the poor. The thing is they feed people that might not have eaten otherwise but it does not lessen their criminality.

The Rocky movies have a weird vibe for me. I don't find the characters very sympathetic for the most part but enjoy the sense of achievement and overcoming a lot to succeed.
