Ridiculous Questions

[Useful Idiot]

My favorite and I have been "researching" beer lately, and so far our number one is still Heineken. She speculated that there must be some special ingredient in it. I posed the ridiculous question "If you found out that the special ingredient is pee, would you still drink it?" She initially rejected the premise, but after I pressed her the answer was a strong no. Side note, my second favorite is Double Diamond Lager, but I have not been able to find it here for years.

I was reminded today about an old B movie that I really enjoyed: A Boy and His Dog

. As a dog owner I can relate to the true love and loyalty we have for our best friends, and they have for us. At one point in this post-apocalyptic nightmare our hero, his dog and his girlfriend are starving and are out of options: two of them are forced to eat the other or they will all die. An awkward moment of silence, and the dog dreads what he sees as inevitable. Spoiler alert: the next scene is the boy and his dog licking their lips, quite satisfied after feasting on the GF. I loved it! I hate to say it but it would be a difficult choice for me.

An old ridiculous question: is it better to die from fire or freezing to death. Both are horrible, nightmare stuff. Neither choice is good.

I invite your ridiculous questions here. One more: the love of your life develops enormous compassion for animals and will no longer tolerate you eating meat, which you love. Do you stay with her?

Wow. Great cult movie, from 1975. Did you see it that year?

I found it in a video rental place in the eighties. I have been around awhile. I will watch it again tonight.

I like to see a sequel. If Harrison Ford can do it why not others.

I saw it in a repertory theatre in Montreal back in 1975 or 76. The Cinema V.

Full house whenever they would show it...

Cinema V was also famous for it's regular midnight showings of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" with the audience doing and shouting out all the traditional stuff that aligned with the various scenes in the film, and some of them dressing up as characters in the film as well. I don't know anybody from that era who only saw it once, lol.

I remember that movie! I saw it I think first in 1979 or 1980.

Cinema I saw it at had A clockwork Orange Every Single year.

I snuck into Rocky Horror with friends in 1978 when I was 16. Both the movie and the audience participation blew me away.

I remember they banned Pretty Baby in Ontario. I was briefly in Montreal around that time and thought about seeing it there. Ended up not seeing it. Was fairly young at the time. Around 13 I think. Not sure if allowed if under 18 in Quebec(or was it 14)?

When I moved to Montreal in early 1972 I was already 26, so no idea of movie age restrictions in Quebec at that time.

Did not see pretty baby.

I see. Ontario was very uptight in those days. However, it was strange that you could not turn right on a red in Montreal.

I may have broken some traffic laws in Quebec.

In the mid eighties I had to go underground to get a stag movie for a bachelor party: Candy Stripers. It seems quite innocent now.

Everybody realized that right turns on reds in Quebec would be a slaughter.

Unlike Toronto, pedestrians in Montreal considered red lights and "Don't Walk" signs to be mere "suggestions"...

Yeah. When visiting relatives in Montreal I was very surprised to see three cars go right through a red light. One behind the other.
