KLEM TV

I have to watch this every year at this time...the Halloween scene from "To Kill A Mockingbird."


Look how young Robert Duvall was:

Duvall was just getting started then.

But you could already tell he was going places.

I cry like a little girl every time I watch this.

This is my favorite scene: Scout's comeuppance dished by her surrogate mother, Calpurnia.

This is the worst movie ever made.

You know why.

Roger Ebert hated this movie too. He took it on the chin for that.

I keep meaning to read Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes in time for Halloween, but I keep forgetting. Perfect mood creation.

Trooper York said...

It was the worst movie ever made because it inspired so many douches to become lawyers.

They should burn every copy.

An excellent Duvall movie is The Apostle.

How could such a thing happen? It couldn't.

Ricpic, I already floated the idea of reverse racism here much earlier. It was pooh-poo'd and basically stated to be impossible because that's not how racism works. Racism can only work when it's majority on minority. Minorities and women can bitch, bemoan and bewilder white males to their heart's content and liberals will only nod affirmatively.

Do you literally mean "here", at Lem's. I must have missed that. As I can't imagine that response, from this group. Then again, what the hell do I know.

I never saw this movie. Just dribs and drabs here and there.

Nevertheless I did manage to nail the CLEP test that had questions about it.

Mockingbirds do nothing but sing? Tarus excrementum!

A mockingbird built a nest in the wisteria vine strangling a tree in our back yard in Shreveport Louisiana and the birdATTACKED whenever anyone entered the back yard for the whole time the little baby birdies were in there. Being a mockingbird it imitated M-16 gunfire and mortar fire. I might have made up that last part for dramatic effect.

trooper, You are absolutely correct about so many attorneys wanting to be Atticus. The problem is, you could lob mortar shells into every courthouse in the US and possibly not kill an Atticus. I know more attorneys than most everyone. I know one Atticus. ONE!
