I'm watching Bruce Willis in 12 Monkeys. He was thrilled to hear 20th Century music. Fats Domino singing I found My Thrill On Blueberry Hill and Luis Armstrong singing What a Wonderful World. Somehow I think these sentiments will prove prescient.

The soundtrack to this movie is superb. Tom Waits singing The Earth Died Screaming. Other songs, Wow.

Pinocchio (1940). Disney.Horror film disguised as cartoon. Donkey transformation scene is the classic.

Just finished watching 12 Monkeys, the thing that strikes me about it is Love.
Sure its just Hollywood, but that's the card that Hollywood plays so well, Love.
Everytime I see love in the movies I want to go and find it. All I love now is my kids. They are great kids and I'm happy to love them, but it would be nice to love a woman. And I'm not talking about sex, just love (with sex as an expression). Count your blessings if you have it, and some of you do I'm sure. Here's an interesting question: should one seek love with societal collapse around the corner?

Now I am going to watch another movie with the Love Saves theme; Altered States with William Hurt. (I guess you are right, Barbara. You Italians are so savvy)

Seeking love...crashing civilization? Sure. However, I'm finding PO/dieoff is a lousy conversation starter.

Thanks, oowolf, I'll keep that in mind. :lol: Maybe talk about vintage Jazz.

Just think of your old "hero to the rescue" fantasies, PMS. They're a common theme among young men.

The world is devastated. The fair damsel is beset by post peak bad boys that want to rape and then eat her.
To the rescue comes PMS; slaughters the evil doers and carries the fair one off to safety in his PPO retreat. First comes gratitude and then love blooms and then ...

It could happen to you. :roll:

BTW: Twelve Monkeys has to be in my top 5 movies. Good mix of action, romance and interesting mind twists. Good script and well acted by a great cast.

What a wild ride 'Altered States' is. If you haven't seen it then I recommend it to you.
