The Sting wasn’t the first collaboration between Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Earlier, they were in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, both movies being directed by George Roy Hill.
A few years later, Hill would direct Redford in The Great Waldo Pepper and Newman in Slap Shot.
It stars Jeff Chandler and Richard Boone. The cast also includes two movie Tarzans: Lex Barker and Jock Mahoney. Apparently, Clint Eastwood and David Janssen have “don’t blink or you’ll miss ’em” roles, but I didn’t notice either of them.
The movie is set during WW II and is about a U. S. Navy ship that transports troops and equipment for beach landings. It’s entertaining but not outstanding, so don’t expect anything like The Caine Mutiny. It runs for nearly 2 hours.
BA,
Its amazing how far off track of the theme of the conversation you manage to get. I understand that you are consumed by movies, but your constant diversions to irrelevant movies are distracting and unappreciated.
I’m not trying to disrespect you in fact I think that if we met face-to-face we’d become great friends, but I just don’t get it. Perhaps there is some subtlety here I just don’t get?
It is after all an open tips page.
Lighten up, Francis.
“Stripes” reference!
Easy to skip a posting that is not if interest to you. I think many people like BA sharing his vast knowledge of films.
Well stated, LindaL.
Depending on my mood, I either read BA’s movie posts with interest, or skip over them completely…. I certainly have no problem with them being here. Especially when it is SDA constantly referencing classic movies in Reader Tips in the first place, I don’t see where he is off topic.
TtP… great reference.
Buddy… thanks, I was thinking ‘Full Metal Jacket’ until you caused me to slap my forehead… it was ‘Stripes’, indeed.
A lot of the movies I’ve mentioned were among those that I saw when I was younger. Away All Boats and Battle Stations, which I commented on earlier this week, were shown on the TV station that we watched where I grew up.
Sometimes I have fond memories of those flicks and, in some cases, I watch them again now that I have a bit more knowledge about movies. I notice details as to who’s in the cast, who directed it, or who wrote the music and put that in the context of other films that those people were associated with. It’s often interesting to see what they did before they became better known for other movies or TV shows they were involved with.
There are some titles that simply get my attention and I’m curious as to what they’re about. Some of them are worth watching. Some I’m not so sure of, but I mention them because, maybe someone else would like them. Other SDAers have done the same thing and have, thereby, introduced me to a film I hadn’t seen before. (The Gregory Peck movie The Bravados, which was posted a few days ago, is one such example.)
Then there are those which fall into the category of, to borrow a gimmick used by Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert when they hosted the old PBS series Sneak Previews, Dog of the Week (unfortunately, I don’t have a Spot the Wonder Dog to introduce them). Those should be avoided like the plague and I’m sure people can figure out why.
I quite enjoy your comments on film, BA, and I hope you’ll keep them up. I rarely bother to watch a movie anymore but I still find the field interestiing.
A very good character sketch of BoJo with some interesting biographical info going back to his school days PLUS a good historical analogue comparing him to Charles II.
The comparison to Charles II is totally wrong. Charles II was – despite the open dissipation of his court – actually a very shrewd monarch. He was faced with a ferocious opposition led by Lord Shaftesbury whose strength lay in calling up the citizens of London and particularly the working class lads to openly march through London in support of the Whigs. Charles managed to keep things on a fairly even keel, keeping both sides not overly satisfied but still not willing to go to civil war; unlike Mr Johnson who has managed to totally alienate many of his supporters by going hard green (influence of latest wife) and being seriously wishy-washy when negotiating Brexit and other issues.
Discussing Bojo’s character is a complete waste of time. As I’ve stated here on previous occasions – he is a man completely devoid of character.
One of my Ottawa friends suggested he is not ‘suited’ for politics. I disagree. Politics is saturated with Bojo types all looking for the free ride courtesy of someone else’s cash.
Conrad Black, cajoled by Bojo’s charms, allowed him to run wild while in his employ.
That has been Bojo’s MO. An entertaining con man who has you laughing at him as he steals your wallet.
Good riddance.
So he’s more articulate less racist Trump then.
And much like Trump, in policy substance, he’s a total leftist. Unlike Trump, he was quite good on trade.

YES, and that is the kind of short-cut thinking I use myself on this subject but also on many other issues as well. If I’m not mistaken, in the days of REAL and thoroughly trialed vaccines they were withdrawn after only a handful of serious adverse consequences.
Read up on the initial polio vaccine rollout in the USA. Not pretty.
Polio was a much more deadly and horrifying disease. Covid is just an overhyped flu.
The swine flu vax was one that was pulled very fast after very few deaths.
As somebody said recently, “you can’t hide the bodies forever ”
Rogers went live at midnight, MST. My phone woke up and messages started coming in via text. Wonder how many calls, texts and business opportunities I lost today? How will I know? How much income got flushed that went to my competition on other networks?
We drove from Sault Ste. Marie to the Toronto area yesterday. The gas stations were only taking cash. There was a guy in a Winnebago and an empty fuel tank who did not look happy. Debit machines were not working. The lineup to one gas station on Highway 69 was so long it backed out onto the highway and yellow-vested employees were directing traffic INSIDE the gas station. Not a great day for the digital world.
And a question to ponder … if we are going to a digital world why do we need cash machines?
The Tesla charging stations were working and the Tesla owners were busy mocking the poor idiots lining up to buy gas with no cash.
I tell young people they should always have backup cash in their wallet.
In the last few years they’ve stopped rolling their eyes.
Always have a Plan B.
Tesla owners are delusional.
I ran out of my back-up cash-in-wallet yesterday, and I’m thankful that I did have it. Interac is back up, so I’m heading out to the nearest ATM to replenish.
We were on the road yesterday to the Okanagan. Though not many problems despite seeing the “No Debit” signs.
Use a credit card instead. Easier to manage finances and eliminate service charges, and get the credits/ promotional swag from the CC.
I logged onto my brokerage account, using the security questions, without any problem earlier today.
I know this is not the finished product, but feedlot prices in Calgary for beef are $1.55 to $ 1.88 per hundred weight dependant on age of the animal.. Just a point to ponder.Anyone here talk to ranchers about cutting out the middlefolk… with any success?….. also with gov. controlling cash, we maybe back to the barter system before we know it…and we know what is the best trade goods for the zombie appoc.
One issue is the lack of local processing facilities. Govt dictates have all but crippled the industry. Those with the aptitude and means are resorting to ‘backyard’ processing. Easier to do with a few chickens than a whole beef. Barter system, yes. Make certain one has marketable skills and or goods.
Anyone talk with any Hutterites lately? I’m hearing rumors about the RCMP killing chickens. Three years ago I’d have said “wacko conspiracy theory”, but, well, you know.
That’s just training for future Justin Jackboots. Start with the chickens…end with citizens attempting to avail themselves of their rights. ( I may have mis-spoken. Do citizens of Canada have any inherent natural rights? I can’t tell anymore.)
No.
Any right we may have can be removed with various combinations of good/bad arguments and activist/originalist judges. Depends on which judge you get on your court date…
Constitution Act 1982.
Part I.
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Section 1.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it SUBJECT ONLY TO SUCH REASONABLE LIMITS prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.
ie. Your rights don’t mean anything if you disrupt the sleep of downtown Ottawa government employees, for example.
You CAN block a significant national railroad for weeks on end.
You CANNOT block a border crossing for more than a few days. Depends on who you end up p*ssing off.
We don’t have rights.
What we have , are privileges , granted by our Overlords.
Step out of line and you get THEIR wrath.
We only have rights if we are willing to fight those who wish to rule us as opposed to serve us. And I mean fight.
I take it you mean violence. But Tamara Lich and her comrades have undertaken non-violence, and it seems to me an effective approach. It has scared the living sh** out of the ruling caste. Ms. Lich and the farmers in Europe are showing conservatives the way forward.
It’s easy to throw f-bombs under the safety of an avatar. Much harder to throw one’s shoulders back and actually confront the beast. Tamara Lich is still in jail. Those SDAers who want to help Ms. Lich can do so through this link: https://www.jccf.ca/justice-centre-statement-regarding-tamara-lich/
David, only if violence is perpetrated on us. Then all bets are off. Thanks for the justice centre info.
* Tamara Lich and her comrades have undertaken non-violence,
and it seems to me an effective approach. “
Where did that get ol’ Tamara?
In jail and out of pocket.
*
The charter was written in the context that rights are awarded by the state and not as a decree that takes natural rights as a given while putting strict limits on the state.
But regardless of what a constitution says, if the state disregards it they forfeit the right to govern as such an act is a breech of the contract between the state and the nation.
I believe this was the basis on which the Declaration of Independence was written. That when the state violates its own rules it obligates the people to reject that state and institute a new nation. Not only did they spell out their reasoning but they included citations of a list of grievances.
But that’s just my opinion.
the contract between the state and the nation
That’s a concept that has been completely disregarded by Prinz Dummkopf, et. al. It implies that the state has a responsibility and commitment towards the citizens, a great inconvenience to a government that doesn’t believe itself to be accountable.
I find it rather disheartening to constantly hear that the fact that the gov’t violates our rights means we don’t have any rights.
We have the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, self-defense, the right to engage in economic activity (which includes the buying and selling of drugs, guns, etc), whether or not the gov’t violates these rights.
Carlin was an absolute genius at examining the ‘human condition, and so ahead of his time in seeing the evil of big government and big business.(I guess he was yet to figure out the evils of Wikipedia at that time, though)

The Hoots wouldn’t let the cops in their chicken barns. The cops wouldn’t have bloody clue how to “kill a barn.” There are 1000’s of chickens in each barn. Disposal of all those carcasses requires a degree of expertise and the cops didn’t learn anything about that in depot.
Thanks for posting The Sting. So what’s with odysee.com? For the past year I have been learning the art of watching free movies on YouTube — where past movies are posted, but only the less popular movies. So The Sting is not available on YouTube., but the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre (Roger Corman, 1967) is.
Is odysee.com a pathway to free-movie heaven?
TSVDM is a pretty decent movie. The cast includes Jason Robards, George Segal, and Bruce Dern.
Yeah I liked the movie. Roger Corman is known as the kink of D+ sci-fi movies, but here he was given a decent budget to produce and direct a fairly good movie.
I’m sure many of his films were made with tongue in cheek and a sly wink. He knew he was often producing rubbish, much of it destined for the drive-in crowd, but it must have made money for him because he certainly produced a lot of it.
And those movies also gave a start to people like the aforementioned Bruce Dern as well as Jack Nicholson.

I watched a longer clip of this yesterday, and was taken by the Kamala statue in the background. After not noticing her wince or cringe at her boss’s embarrassing performance, I realized that she was probably overwhelmed with relief that she wasn’t the one out front, tripping and fumbling through another speech.
I am fascinated by the mental gymnastics one has to put themselves through to defend this administration. Just amazing.
Zerohedge does an even better analysis and quoted mocks and retorts.
Ha, whoever controls that teleprompter controls the world.
Repeat the line. End of quote.
More than 5,000 bystanders and passengers have been killed in police car chases since 1979, and tens of thousands more were injured as officers repeatedly pursued drivers at high speeds and in hazardous conditions, often for minor infractions, a USA TODAY analysis shows.
The bystanders and the passengers in chased cars account for nearly half of all people killed in police pursuits from 1979 through 2013, USA TODAY found. Most bystanders were killed in their own cars by a fleeing driver.
We’d call the RCMP for a robbery and they would show up the next day. The RCMP would have 10 cars from 6 towns chasing a gas station drive away. They love that garbage. I watched one video from the US where a woman was driving a short distance to an exit because there was no shoulder on the road. She slowed right down and put on her flashers and the cop ran into and deliberately flipped her car. I’m sure it was for a serious crime like a missing license plate light. Where do rural American counties find all these fat stupid cops?
“Where do rural American counties find all these fat stupid cops?”
In rural America, where they were bred and born and raised. Rural Americans love their LAWNORDAH show, especially if it means beating down black people.
Remember the recent photo of a very fat General Pavel, who supposedly was brought out of retirement?
This thread says they’ve discovered who he really is:
This is totally brilliant! Writing papers and worse grants is a massive timesink in academia. Why not feed results and other inputs to an AI, get it to write, and read it once over? Could probably make the writing more pointed too. So many long-winded papers.
Diversity is our strength: Mohamed obviously didn’t hear of Justin’s latest gun ban.
“Badri Mohamed, 37, of Ottawa, is charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the first degree.
According to the media outlet WHEC, Mohamed appeared in a Livingston County courthouse where he reportedly claimed that he trafficked the guns from Houston, Texas because he feared for his life.
He was pulled over for speeding in a routine traffic stop in rural Mt. Morris.
In the trunk of his rented vehicle, cops allegedly discovered 58 semi-automatic handguns and high-capacity magazines stuffed in a duffel bag.”
Good thing Tamara Lich is still in jail. Otherwise, who knows what would be happening in Ottawa. Oh, we do know: third shooting of the week, but not much will be said publicly because the gangs involved are from the “diverse” community.
“Gunfire marred the funeral of man shot and killed earlier this week in Ottawa and the city’s busiest emergency room was locked down when the wounded victim appeared for treatment Friday afternoon.
The shooting occurred at the Ottawa Muslim Cemetery on Manotick Station Road at about 2:45 p.m., when mourners had gathered to bury 24-year-old Abdulhamid Haji Ragab. Ragab died Thursday, two days after he was shot in a brazen daytime attack on Banff Avenue.”
It’s simply satisfying to hear some progressive leftists tear AOC a new one…

The Sting wasn’t the first collaboration between Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Earlier, they were in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, both movies being directed by George Roy Hill.
A few years later, Hill would direct Redford in The Great Waldo Pepper and Newman in Slap Shot.
And, now, another WW II movie, Away All Boats:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fok-LoEj5YE
It stars Jeff Chandler and Richard Boone. The cast also includes two movie Tarzans: Lex Barker and Jock Mahoney. Apparently, Clint Eastwood and David Janssen have “don’t blink or you’ll miss ’em” roles, but I didn’t notice either of them.
The movie is set during WW II and is about a U. S. Navy ship that transports troops and equipment for beach landings. It’s entertaining but not outstanding, so don’t expect anything like The Caine Mutiny. It runs for nearly 2 hours.

When you watch the man and compare him to any of our feckless leaders you see why the West is on the way down.

His command of the English language is outstanding. An interview very worthwhile to listen to.
When you see Russia failing to achieve its objectives in Ukraine and resort to recruiting prison inmates, you’ll see that your judgement is worthless.

Joe Biden, stumbling and fumbling, and stating remarkable double entendres. A cardboard cutout would be less damaging than President Grampers.

I watched a longer clip of this yesterday, and was taken by the Kamala statue in the background. After not noticing her wince or cringe at her boss’s embarrassing performance, I realized that she was probably overwhelmed with relief that she wasn’t the one out front, tripping and fumbling through another speech.
I am fascinated by the mental gymnastics one has to put themselves through to defend this administration. Just amazing.
Zerohedge does an even better analysis and quoted mocks and retorts.

Ha, whoever controls that teleprompter controls the world.
Repeat the line. End of quote.
More than 5,000 bystanders and passengers have been killed in police car chases since 1979, and tens of thousands more were injured as officers repeatedly pursued drivers at high speeds and in hazardous conditions, often for minor infractions, a USA TODAY analysis shows.
The bystanders and the passengers in chased cars account for nearly half of all people killed in police pursuits from 1979 through 2013, USA TODAY found. Most bystanders were killed in their own cars by a fleeing driver.

We’d call the RCMP for a robbery and they would show up the next day. The RCMP would have 10 cars from 6 towns chasing a gas station drive away. They love that garbage. I watched one video from the US where a woman was driving a short distance to an exit because there was no shoulder on the road. She slowed right down and put on her flashers and the cop ran into and deliberately flipped her car. I’m sure it was for a serious crime like a missing license plate light. Where do rural American counties find all these fat stupid cops?
“Where do rural American counties find all these fat stupid cops?”
In rural America, where they were bred and born and raised. Rural Americans love their LAWNORDAH show, especially if it means beating down black people.
Remember the recent photo of a very fat General Pavel, who supposedly was brought out of retirement?
This thread says they’ve discovered who he really is:

Yup. Opposing President Pelosi is a crime.
Good, but I sure hope it comes before then. That criminal needs to go to jail and stay there.
Why? What did he do?

AI used to write scientific abstract about itself.

This is totally brilliant! Writing papers and worse grants is a massive timesink in academia. Why not feed results and other inputs to an AI, get it to write, and read it once over? Could probably make the writing more pointed too. So many long-winded papers.

Diversity is our strength: Mohamed obviously didn’t hear of Justin’s latest gun ban.
“Badri Mohamed, 37, of Ottawa, is charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the first degree.
According to the media outlet WHEC, Mohamed appeared in a Livingston County courthouse where he reportedly claimed that he trafficked the guns from Houston, Texas because he feared for his life.
He was pulled over for speeding in a routine traffic stop in rural Mt. Morris.
In the trunk of his rented vehicle, cops allegedly discovered 58 semi-automatic handguns and high-capacity magazines stuffed in a duffel bag.”

Diversity is bringing Canadians the firearms they need and their government tries to keep them from obtaining.
This would never be permitted in Justin’s post-national progressive Canada!
Sri Lankan president, prime minister to resign after protesters storm residences, set fire

Good thing Tamara Lich is still in jail. Otherwise, who knows what would be happening in Ottawa. Oh, we do know: third shooting of the week, but not much will be said publicly because the gangs involved are from the “diverse” community.
“Gunfire marred the funeral of man shot and killed earlier this week in Ottawa and the city’s busiest emergency room was locked down when the wounded victim appeared for treatment Friday afternoon.
The shooting occurred at the Ottawa Muslim Cemetery on Manotick Station Road at about 2:45 p.m., when mourners had gathered to bury 24-year-old Abdulhamid Haji Ragab. Ragab died Thursday, two days after he was shot in a brazen daytime attack on Banff Avenue.”
