  1. "Unforgiven" is a film which is beyond anything ever projected on the silver screen, of its genre. And, it is even beyond being classified into any particular genre. Nothing similar to this film had ever been seen, nor will ever be seen, until kingdom come. Amazing circumstance of everything happening well, from the beginning until the end. Unforgiven is an unforgettable film, from beginning to end.
  2. Moon's antics killed him, far too soon. Moon tried to jump over the Moon, literally, and he overdid it. Still. right, Moon was even better.
  3. Truly, they let their Dionysian side run wild. And, the world is the better for their having done so. Are we not all uncouth louts, upon closer examination? Perhaps, when one has the gift, then one should just let the inner beast run wild, for the enjoyment of others who are able, only, to watch men of talent, on stage. Too many louts among us are only louts, with no talent, and not much to offer for being a lout, in return.
  4. The Yale lecture series from Wyman, available on YouTube or from The Yale online course website, is really worthwhile. Not that it matters, but I have listened to most of these lectures twice. These lectures speak about diverse topics of interest to you. Please go to the Yale website, or to the link I provided, and then you will be hooked, and you will watch every video. Riveting. No need to thank me. Just thank Robert Wyman
  5. OK. I agree with you. And now, I really want to suggest a series of lectures from Robert Wyman, Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at YALE. Probably, this series of lectures is the most important series of lectures that you will ever pay attention to: https://oyc.yale.edu/molecular-cellular-and-developmental-biology/mcdb-150 No JOKE, because, if you really want to learn something about the world, then here is a lecture series which you should watch, while you also read the suggested course materials, including recommended books. No need for you to be so starved for intellectual stimulation, as you say. I guarantee that this lecture series might change your perspective, slightly. Good luck. Enjoy!
  6. One worries if anyone cares. At least, Burton, Harris, O'Toole were productive, in many amazing ways. Fortunately, they did not get too strung out on crystal meth, or Smack.
  7. Please don't criticize Richard Burton for being a drunk and bully, because.... Each to his own poison. Especially, these days, in Philly. So sad. Such a tragedy.
  8. I will never return to Philly. Not unless I were to wish to shoot-up in unmentionable places. Instead, I will remain in Asia, and enjoy reading Shakespeare, one who wrote about almost everything happening in Philly that you can see on the streets, today. Such a tragedy, which was Shakespeare's specialty.
  9. You know, sometimes people become so hot and bothered about PC (political correctness), and many of us become exceedingly righteous, morally speaking. Some guys become all worked up about the fact that their mistaken belief that Burton, Harris, and O'Toole caused harm in some unsubstantiated way, when, in fact, they were just living their lives, lives which provided pleasure to so many people around the world. But, OK, if you really want to examine a few lives of people who did not live their lives as well as These Three... Then, please just watch this video. And then, you will clearly see that Burton was not one of these. OK? Richard Burton did much to contribute to our existence, and provided us with good films which just keep on giving. If you refuse to watch Richard Burton's films, and appreciate his films, for what they are....then... Please just watch this film, in Philly...and try to tell the difference. Richard Burton was a great actor. And, please, if you are willing, watch this attached YouTube video in Kensington to find actors of a different sort. Sometimes, I just wonder why we need to criticise guys who provided so much pleasure to so many. Makes no sense to me. Therefore...here is a video which you might prefer... Enjoy.... Maybe, this YouTube video is more up your alley.
  10. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Please do not look at this world with total PC. Otherwise, your blinders will blind you to life. https://youtu.be/XWgIOb_U2Hc Youtube does not allow embedding of this video, simply because this video is for "adults", even though there is nothing prurient about it. Don't be Childish. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966): Killing Martha.... Was an amazing scene, and an amazing film. Richard Burton was an amazing actor, and a wonderful storyteller. The entire world was lucky to have had him. JMHO...Just my humble opinion. Each to his own. Some guys don't like Macbeth.
  11. Perhaps it is my ignorance and naïveté about our world which is most off-putting to you. Maybe it might be my traditional thinking which is most objectionable. Or, maybe, just my wordy posts which ticked you off, more than anything else. So solly.
  12. Here in Thailand, everybody, farangs, need to often listen to a good story, in order to just carry on. Otherwise, being so far from home, one might ossify and die. Richard Burton, from Wales, is/was a magnificent story teller. O'Toole could also tell a good tale. Richard Harris, less so. Still, all three were magnificent in their own ways. What would we not give to have Richard Burton alive today, during these days of quarantine? Down in the mines, breathing coal dust. As we all realize, being in Thailand for years, some of us, sometimes we starve for intellectual stimulation, after living in Pattaya for too long a long spell. Who is better among the three? Richard Harris O'Toole Richard Burton And, TRULY, as it is often said....The Irish and the Welsh are people of song and poetry built into their souls.
  13. Has one registered one's infant at Harvard, yet? This is priority no.2 Please, also, prepare about USD80,000 per year, or probably about USD400,000.00 for undergraduate school, from matriculation until done, at today's prices. Actually, the cost will be far higher, due to the fact that tuition costs are rising faster than almost any other commodity. USD600,000.00 for four years at Harvard, by 2031, or more, most likely. And, maybe, the cost of short-time in Pattaya will not increase much, by 2031, which is extremely unfair to the working girls. Most likely, Harvard grads in Pattaya get paid less, due to their stunning smarts and mediocre looks, an haughty attitudes, compared to local women who are far more friendly.
  14. Probably, like me, before coming to Thailand, you thought that you would not wish to have more children, or any children. And then, after arriving in Thailand, and marrying a wonderful woman, you realized that you were not as old as you had originally thought. Having met a young woman who loves you, and who also has the desire to bear your child, and one who also wishes to begin a true family, with you as the head of the family, then you are thinking about reversing your vasectomy which you imprudently underwent before you arrived here in Thailand. After arriving in Thailand, you now realize that you are not as old as you once thought you were, the same condition which happens to most men. And, you realize there is still time enough for you to start a new family, and enjoy the benefits of doing this. How many of us have contemplated reversing this kind of surgery, and overturning our original logic and philosophy, the logical logic which caused us to have a vasectomy while we were in the West, a place of sleet and snow, in the first place. Also, how many of us would be willing, even at such an advanced age, to begin a family, with children, while our wives are in their twenties, and we are now in our fifties, or sixties? Under the Medium Fertility Scenario, then it is highly likely that our world population will hit 9.4 billion by 2050. This is the macro view. However, on the micro view, still, after meeting a fertile young thing, a nice counterpart to yourself, one who needs to bear children in order to make your union a true family, and a woman who requires children in order to remain with you, then are you now considering a reversal? But, what happens twenty years after your reversal? Will you still be as young as you were in your sixties? With kids? Unless one is super rich, with a few amahs, and a yacht to escape to, then would you not be setting yourself up for a world of hurt? Just a question which I often worry over. Some guys can handle this, a new family at age 55 or 60. And then, there are those who are driven mad by the result of there reversal. Would you reverse your vasectomy in Thailand, even if the cost of microsurgery is so relatively inexpensive here?
  15. I am not exactly nuts, mate. One can choose to do one of two things: a. Remain celibate and reap the many rewards of this, while also paying the price of great loneliness. b. Engage, constantly, even daily, with enticing sweet meat of about 40 years old, and wear oneself out in the process, most happily. Forty-year-old women can wear out even a very young man, with their sexual appetites. This is why these women are called cougars. And so, it is up to you, if you wish to choose A or B, according to your stamina. A good word of advice to you, if you are young, and you fall in love with a woman, who is 40, is to take your vitamins, drink plenty of clam juice, and eat 6 oysters every day. Because, you will need to replenish your juices on a daily basis. Some of us get tired of doing this, eventually. Although, in the moment, this type of relationship, with a sexpot of 40, is something novel that we need to try, at least once. We all, eventually, do this. I did it. And so will you. Just stock up on Gatorade, maybe, and do NOT fall in love with one of these older women, if you are young.
  16. Wow, Man: Although you seem to speak obliquely...there is no doubt that everybody understands your reference. So...good riddance, as you say. This forum is better now. (Sorry to say, however, that I am still one of the dregs of the dregs, left over from years gone by. Long live TV! Take care!)
  17. Also, while we are at it..... For some reason, who knows why.... Some people who sling me barbs and arrows, or who might point slings and arrows my way..... Please keep them coming...because... On this forum, sometimes, the more slings and arrows, then the better our post, and the better we enjoy reading this forum. So, sling away. Please note: In my humble opinion...NO ONE should take offense at anything said here in fun or in jest. We all must remain respectful of others, no matter what we might write in any forum. Criticism of ourselves should never be taken as an assault or an insult, but only a learning experience. Also, in some cases, barbs, slings and arrows can signal approbation. So, please feel free to sling at me, because my skin is such that I appreciate verbal attacks from all. Anyway...thank you....as I say.
  18. Yes, you can. BUT...ONLY if you are old enough to be NICE, and full of respect for me, and Mother Earth.
  19. I don't know why they are so nice; they just are. Seemingly, anytime I, or anyone, posts a topic on TV, in almost all cases, we only receive both approbation and affirmation, as well as support for our views. This is a really NICE forum, which most people enjoy, free of charge. After a few years, we get to know some posters, not by their real names, but by their profile names. And then, they become, sort of, friends, in a weird way. And, no doubt it is true, in some cases, weird friends become better friends than we might have in "Real Life". The more we stay on TV, the more friends we will have, mostly weird, and weird in a very good way. I love TV, same as you. And, in fact, it is almost impossible for me to leave TV, even if I should wish to do so. People ARE nice, on TV. If they were not so nice, then very few would remain here. Naturally, it is unavoidable that some posters might seem both Crazy and Nice. And, fortunately, even crazy people are accepted on TV, if not overly crazy. At this very moment, I bet there are a few interesting people, no matter how seemingly crazy, posting important posts on TV, even though you might not know it. And, at this moment, maybe your wife is up, and brewing your coffee, and scrambling your eggs, if she had not already done so, when your eggs required scrambling, last night. It's pretty interesting to note just how lucky we all are to be in Thailand, no matter what hardships we must face, because.....in Thailand, no matter what..... No matter what might happen, and no matter how dire the situation, at least..... at least, we are living somewhere in the best country on Earth. Please believe me: There is no better country on Earth, and please never forget this important point. Sometimes, you might feel that the grass might be greener, if only you left Thailand for someplace like Montenegro. OK. Fine. Go there, and see if you do not wish to return here. We are all blessed, those who live here. Not all, not COMPLETELY all, is totally hunky-dory. Yet, can anyone here, say truthfully, that we are not living a place which most closely approximates our heavenly ideal? After quite a few years, all I can say is that I LOVE Thailand. Probably, almost everybody does. In my opinion, most Thai people do not fully understand just how lucky they are, in so many ways. There is ALWAYS a tradeoff, of course. And most critics do not understand this tradeoff. However, for quality of life, for most people, for the majority, Thailand is unbeatable. Just my humble opinion as one who has been celibate for over 20 years, and one who has never visited a bar in Thailand, and probably never will. Thai culture is great, compared to many other cultures. However, this is a matter of preference. If you do not like Thai culture, then go elsewhere, if your passport is still valid, and if you are not on some sort of international "watch list" Just...sit back, and....enjoy.....if you will.
  20. Why Do You Think Thai Women Prefer to Hang with You? A Foreigner in a Foreign Land? a. Because, so far, there is no law against it. b. Because, they have no shame. c. Because, they perversely seem to want to leave Thailand for other places, places which are not as fine as Thailand. I really cannot understand why, in fact. Maybe they are crazy. YES! Thai Girls are CRAZY FOR YOU! All Thai women love romance. And, only we can provide it.
  21. If your primary objective is to be safe, then, probably, the safest place is in the womb. Although, I guess, the womb cannot be considered a country, in the strictest sense.
  22. Mr. StreetCowboy: My dearest friend here on TV, as you know, full well, after so many years !!!!! I am now informing you that I will no longer be able to post my irregular comments here, as regularly as I once had, during recent weeks. Such a shame, really. But, alas, if all goes according to plan, I will have less time on my hands, as the saying goes, on TV. Everyone says: This poster has too much time on his/her hands. And, in truth, if all goes swimmingly, I will have less time to post here. If you do not see my posts here, this does not mean I am dead. So, please do not speculate about this. What most posters here do not know is that this lovely person, StreetCowboy, corresponded with me years ago, and I will never forget him, as a result. Not only did he message me in Thailand, but also in other places, such as China., a place which is a hardship port, by anyone's view. I am not saying that I am dying, yet. I am only saying that, if I am to consider myself a responsible person, then I must, by necessity, spend more of my time on other things, such as trying to teach useful things to useful people, rather than the opposite. Don't get me wrong: On this blessed forum, you will easily find smart, talented, humorous and kind people. In fact, in Thailand, you will hardly ever find such a conglomeration of such attributes on any single forum, other than TV. Don't worry, because I will still be lurking around.....and wishing this forum well. NO OTHER forum in Thailand has the staying power of TV, nor the excellence of TV. There are many good people here, as we know. Well, that's is all I have to say.....for now. PS: I really, also, wish to thank those who kept me alive, for this long. I really do! PPS: I have nothing but GOOD to say about TV....as it has recently been transformed, during recent years. I mean, let the other forums, on other sites, go lowbrow, while TV shoots for the highbrow posters. TV is far better than it was a number of years ago. And, TV provides a great service to many. I bid you, adieu, my friends. Until then, my friends. Regards, Gamma PS: Please give my best to the poster who always ends his posts with ... "REGARDS.....W"
  23. Maybe you are correct. It is a well-known fact that if you check the eggs in a birds nest, some of the eggs were fertilized by various male birds. Also, it is known that there many, many cases when genetic tests prove that the father of infants in the hospital are not the husband. Need I go on, and on, and on....?
