So now you really need to see ... by berserkrl	Jun 1st, 2009 01:14:15 AM
MARTY, starring Borgnine and written by Chayefsky.
did people even know what Atheism was in the 50's? by The Amazing G	Jun 1st, 2009 06:31:04 AM
I kinda doubt it, but maybe I'm just talking out of my ass
also Borgnine is like Abe Vigoda by The Amazing G	Jun 1st, 2009 06:31:49 AM
two actors that will outlive us all....
What the hell are you talking about, Amazing G? by raw_bean	Jun 1st, 2009 07:06:28 AM
Atheism isn't some 21st century invention. As long as therer have been religious beliefs there have been some people who didn't believe them. According to Wikipedia (I know I shouldn't cite it as a reference but I'm in a hurry) "The first individuals to self-identify as "atheist" appeared in the 18th century."
The Emperor of the North Pole... by SoylentMean	Jun 1st, 2009 09:24:48 AM
is one of the best movies I've rented from Netflix in a long time. That film is a must have for fans of badass performances since in that film you get two. Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine school just about everybody in how to do an onscreen rivalry just right. Dammit Quint, now I have to hunt this movie down. And I still haven't caught that snipe yet!
ATHEISM by berserkrl	Jun 1st, 2009 01:18:27 PM
The only reason people didn't self-identify as atheists before the 18th century is that doing so would have gotten you killed. But try googling "Diagoras of Melos." This is an oddly short talkback.
Chayefsky is insanely great by filmfanatic1	Jun 1st, 2009 02:17:12 PM
If you want to hear bizarre poetry in a screenplay, Chayefsky is the guy! THE HOSPITAL, NETWORK... I'd like to see teleplays by him on DVD.
existed yes, but widely known? by The Amazing G	Jun 1st, 2009 08:43:23 PM
I doubt it
cool by foree forehead	Jun 2nd, 2009 10:34:39 AM
nice little movie. tcm is fantastic, i love robert osborne and ben m's introductions too, they give a lot of background meaning to these films. agree with the shout for Network as well, terrific, scary, post-modern(?) film. but please god not the Quiet Man - ugh, begorrah and all that

That just looks so weird to my eyes.
