I recently read a book that was great, but I won't mention the title or the author. Did anyone else read it?

I agree - 6 pages about a worthless subject, when the world is awash in many serious problems. # 1 involving reflected heat waves.

What movie did you go to watch that showed this preview. Normally previews are rated the same as the movie you are watching. Did you go to an R rated movie?

However, it is rated R for pervasive language, sexual material, and drug use.

Dumb Money (2023) - IMDb

Apart from that, good family entertainment!

I hate to be the contrarian here, but I, sort of, like to see explicit sex in movies. It has motivational potential.

Me thinks you have a problem, even more serious than what your comment represents.

And just where do you think you would have a better life?
Praying won't solve your issues?

I had always enjoyed any show before and didn’t think I would ever see this distasteful entertainment in The Villages.

Not sure why anyone would expect The Villages to be some perfect mecca of wholesomeness. After all the Villages age groups would have become adults in about the 60s and 70s when Woodstock and free love was in the air. Was I dreaming when I thought (?) I watched a late-night TV show called "Saturday Night Live" that did its best to break all the rules of sexual repression through outrageous humor that it could.

we never go to the movies anymore. They are always a disappointment.

I get that the OP was talking about the PREVIEW of the movie Dumb Money. And so, I watched the full trailer, put out by Sony pictures. The basic premise of the movie: It's a "based on true story" story about the GameStop stock phenomena, and how Wall Street had a major freak-out because of it.

Here's a little clue for the Puritans among you: F-bombs happen even in The Villages. Some folks drop them in almost every sentence. Some pepper their speech more cautiously, somewhat akin to a "mild" salsa that isn't really mild, it's just less spicy than "medium."

Davidson in particular is known, both in real life and in movies, to make generous and copious use of vulgar verbiage. It's kind of his thing, in addition to his freakish appearance and generally inappropriate behavior on talk shows.

Because it was a preview, it would have been prefaced with a blurb: "This PREVIEW has been rated r, and approved for audiences age 18 and up" or similar. At that point, before the preview actually begins, Puritans and Virgins need to shut off their hearing aids, until the preview is over.

It is all subjective. One person's art is another person's trash.

Anybody here see the play The Book of Mormon? I saw it in Minneapolis some years back. It was raw, coarse, obscene...but at the same time riotously funny. I can't remember any time I've laughed as hard as I did at that play. Some--a few--folks did walk out. The rest of us enjoyed ourselves hugely.

Interesting, though, how the Mormon community reacted. Some were there, enjoying the play as much as the rest of us. At the end, though, they were out front handing out cards that read (in paraphrase) "You've seen and enjoyed the movie. But would you like to know more about the real Church of Latter Day Saints"? Which I thought was a really classy way for them to react.

I, personally, am NOT a praying type. However, I also believe that "it takes all kinds to make a world". I think praying works for SOME people. I also assume that, on average, people who pray are less likely to be criminals and violent evildoers. They won't be perfect people, but, at least, they are trying to do the right things. And they may be very happy people for the acts of praying.
.......I tend to prefer individual people praying as opposed to the organized church-going type of group prayers. I have seen too much worldwide negativity that occurs when one religion dislikes another religion. Like ethnic groups, religions often separate more than unify humanity. Many people get a lot of personal satisfaction, humanity, and wisdom from organized religion. Possibly, overall, it is a good thing. Myself, I just see a lot of negatives. So many things divide people and organized religion has a history and the power to do just that.
........I guess that it gets back to being a good thing that people are individuals and have differences.

Better than the usual climate crisis comment.

Nevermind, that was a few posts earlier.
