For the record, I want it noted that I find myself very amusing. I can barely refrain from "liking" the above comment. :-|

2025-03-20 23:17:23 +0000 UTCI think it's like Limey for Brits. Not super offensive, but just denotes it's a descriptor coming from an American perspective. Like a fun, slightly disrespectful, but humanizing, nickname. I use Limey on British channels on YouTube and they usually chuckle a bit about. Only the older ones have even heard it though.

2025-03-20 21:08:18 +0000 UTCSorry for the long-distance free-association. I can sometimes be a little obscure. [Simplified:] The standard metaphor for "strong together" is a bundle of sticks, which can each be broken easily, but not when bound together. The Latin term for such a bundle: fasces. Benito Mussolini adopted the fasces as a symbol and it inspired the name of his political movement: Fascism. As to Mussolini's ultimate earthly fate, I think you can guess.

2025-03-19 23:05:08 +0000 UTC27:54 "Is it offensive for French people to be called 'Frogs?'" Let me give you a hint: the movie isn't named "The Frog Connection." :-) Though Frogs have been known to sing The Rainbow Connection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awhyiBv-oQc

2025-03-19 18:23:15 +0000 UTCYep, Roy Schieder says it just before he runs off to be Bob Fosse in "All That Jazz".

2025-03-19 17:25:55 +0000 UTCIt just so happens to be the new merged tribe's name on Survivor Australia! Ha!

2025-03-19 10:47:00 +0000 UTCThat's a reference to this movie? Or the Planet of the Apes?

2025-03-19 10:34:21 +0000 UTCGreat reaction! I highly recommend you watch French Connection II, which is a fictionalized sequel. I actually like it better than the first.

2025-03-19 07:43:46 +0000 UTCI was obsessed with that Men Who Killed Kennedy documentary back when I was a kid in the 1990s. "Badgeman".

2025-03-19 07:42:54 +0000 UTCFor when you need a funny PG-13 palet cleanser... Welcome to Mooseport (2004) with Gene Hackman
Arturo
2025-03-19 04:35:23 +0000 UTCBy the way, there is a really good sequel to this called the French Connection II (surprise) in which Popeye goes to Marseilles to settle old scores.

2025-03-19 03:18:22 +0000 UTCThe French Connection was apparently a real thing. There was a pipeline of heroin from Marseilles to the United States through New York. Some JFK assassination theorists hold that this French Connection cartel hired out one of its better assassins, a man named Christian David, to take the kill shot in Dealey Plaza that day. There is some evidence to support this, but I am with many who think that finding the trigger pullers is a diversion. The real issue is who hired them and what was the motive. But I digress. Anyway, here's some documentation from the National Archives on the subject of Mr. David: https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/docid-32113516.pdf

2025-03-19 02:59:16 +0000 UTCBro, in 2025 there are so many ways to avoid having rats in the first place. The real tragedy is being wealthy and not being able to cope with simple problems
Thoko
2025-03-19 02:05:31 +0000 UTCYou make it over 80 you are doing good. My parents both died at 89. Their last years were not pleasant their brains had turned to mush. His wife's death is more tragic. If you are sweeping up rat turds especially in the Southwest wear a respirator.

2025-03-19 01:08:15 +0000 UTC4:10 I hereby adjudicate that it would be most appropriate. 26:50 "Can you and your associates arrange that for me, M. Charnier?" 27:54 You can mollify him by offering him a cool refreshing Pepsi. :-P And congratulations to Pierre Nicoli for unlocking a rare achievement.
Happy Hanukkah
2025-03-19 00:53:36 +0000 UTCI was curious and so I checked out Gene Hackman's IMDB...from 1964-2004 he was in 77 films. He was certainly had a prolific career. Tragic how he died at 95.
John Liebling
2025-03-19 00:51:29 +0000 UTCIf you're unsatisfied with "Alain Charnier was never caught," consider that an alternate interpretation is: "Charnier's body was never found." (What's that? No, I'm not familiar with any sequel.) (By the way, I also would not have included the Popeye slide.)
Happy Hanukkah
2025-03-19 00:40:48 +0000 UTCThe sequel is a great film as well. Don’t miss it.

2025-03-19 00:17:43 +0000 UTCSimonson in this movie is the real life cop Eddie Egan, who HACKMAN IS portraying. He made 4 or 5 movie movies, including Prime Cut,where he was a mob boss angry at Hackman, another boss,.so Egan sends Lee Marvin to deal to deal with him. Sissy Spaceks 1st movie, 1 st scene is a nude! The other real life cop portrayed by Schneider as Sonny Grosso, called Klein here.
John
2025-03-18 23:53:52 +0000 UTCI had to google the "picking your feet in Poughkeepsee" thing a few years ago. Evidently it's an interrogation tactic, where Doyle throws the suspect off balance by treating the drug dealing as an unimportant detail to the much larger crime of picking his feet. It's meant to intimidate and confuse him, ultimately getting him to confess to the drug dealing and being scared out of his wits that he's done something worse. The phrase itself seems to have no real meaning.

2025-03-18 23:48:30 +0000 UTCOne of Gene's best! Let's go Popeye Doyle!

2025-03-18 23:43:34 +0000 UTC0:21 "There's a lot of rumors and speculation with his death but I don't want to push anything that isn't true." Wait a minute. Is this the right movie reaction? :-) :-P :-)
Happy Hanukkah
2025-03-18 23:38:56 +0000 UTCYes! I *love* Francisco Rabal!
