TV/Movies Megathread

Watched a rerun of Boardwalk the other night, I think the 2nd episode of the 2nd season, the one in which they jump cut from Nuckie's speech in the black church to Nuckie's speech to the Klan.

My question is, shouldn't the Klan be stringing up Nuckie too for being a Papist?

We Bought A Zoo

Alright. Definitely not a children's moving though. Actually somewhat depressing. Also, lovely that the one black character only gets referred to by her place of work's name.

Did the Klan ever do that?

Yes. Oneo f many reasons that the Klan should have been dealt with like traitors and terrorists.

Talk about depressing?  My sister called me from the car last night after seeing Young Adult.  Said it was such a black comedy, there was no comedy.  Definitely a cringe-inducing, uncomfortable movie.

So your kind of movie.

You know it.

Word.

I see young adult films all the time.  I suppose on occasion they're depressing.

I think those were just regular racist folk, not the klan. Nucky doesn't like the Klan much.

The wake he attended was definitely a full on Klan wake.

I think there was a hierarchy of hate. As long as Nuckie was pissin' on the niggers, they looked past his papism.

[Josquius]

Were the clan really so anti-catholic by that point in time? Certainly as the 20th century went on it became much less of an issue.
And Nucky is hardly a bible basher, he's just vaguely catholic.

And yeah, IIRC that was certainly the clan he was speaking to. He doesn't like them true but...it is better politics for them to think he's on their side.

[CountDeMoney]

Oh yeah, the Klan's anti-Catholicism didn't really start get watered down until the '50s, when Civil Rights pretty much focused their fury on much more important things.

It Came From Outer Space.  Shapeshifting aliens who mean no harm come to Earth by accident and do a fair amount of harm, while a well-meaning scientist is caught between loyalties.  Barbara Rush is in it, and she's hot.  Good.

The Brain From Planet Auros.  John Agar is taken over by a brain from planet Auros.  A brain with thermonuclear telekinesis.  A brain that likes to rape.  Awesome.  John Growth Medium kills the nuclear rape brain with an axe.

Fiend Without a Face.  Boring as fuck till the mental vampire monsters become visible because of an overload at the nuclear plant (roll with it).  Then it is: excellent.
