[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 405189, member: 57984"] I just watched THE LAUGHING POLICEMAN (1973) with Walter Matthau and Bruce Dern and a host of '70s movie faces. It's okay, rather violent (there's a bus massacre near the beginning) and has that fascinatingly ugly '70s urban vibe that we took for granted in our films from the era. And there's a startling scene in a San Francisco gay (leather? drag?) bar near the end of the film which is unexpected for a movie of its time, which manages to be both progressive and regressive (as gay stuff always is). [IMG]https://cps-static.rovicorp.com/1/adg/cov584/drw200/w259/w25967lo705.jpg[/IMG] You'll have to talk to the master about returning the "dislike" smiley. (And I, for one, didn't use it as an insult). Passive-aggression. It's whatever we want it to be...... Or is it?? [/QUOTE]
