The Underailable Thread....Part Deux, the Sequel!!

[gurneyhalleck1]

You'll have to forgive me....I got only 5 hours sleep, drove up to Fresno, was reader today (long readings and not your typical prokeimenon (though easy enough!)), drove home, then my wife had me help her with her Master's paper for hours, then I made dinner plus I'm working on stuff for Teachers Pay Teachers. I'm virtually a braindead walker! LOL

just a dry, over-the-top way of saying the history of the name Bacchus didn't have much to do with my point.

however, I will say I didn't know that Bacchus was actually a Greek god, so that was a neat nugget to learn.

you're good. maybe after all that, a little nip of some of Dionysius' nectar (i.e. alcohol) would do you some good.

The guy is surrounded by phallic satyrs that make me nervous. No thanks!!

I didn't say him, I said his nectar (i.e. wine)

 

[gurneyhalleck1]

I know that!! But the wine is his! And I don’t want to ask a guy surrounded by “enthusiastic” aides

who said anything about asking? ain't nobody gotta worry about his aides. if wine won't do, why not one of wine's family members like brandy or a nice scotch?

 

[gurneyhalleck1]

We're talking Ancient Greece, baby. It was wine, wine, or...wine! LOL Dionysus was like a wine cask on wheels! LOL

truism, but I suggested you take a nip from Dionysius' nectar, and today we have much more variety.

Just got through watching "The Dark Knight." I swear every time I watch that movie, it blows my mind. Possibly the best movie ever made.....so many themes that a person in this day and age needs to sink his/her teeth into. So many layers....

The cinematography, script, acting, direction, it was unprecedented. Mind-blowingly good, and I've seen it over a dozen times. Sure wish Heath Ledger were still with us.

yeah. while I won't say it's the best movie ever made, it certainly is (in my opinion) the best Batman movie ever made, and taps into all the stuff that made the graphic novels of the 80s so darn good

 

[gurneyhalleck1]

I give it a close tie with Amadeus.

fair enough. I have a list of my faves

 

[gurneyhalleck1]

I do think TDK is about the best movie ever made. For sure it is the greatest super hero flick of all time leaving all others in the DUST!! It's up there with Revenge of the Sith.
