Laughing Outloud

Laughing Outloud | Human Interest | Scoop.it
From awakenings2012.blogspot.com - October 14, 2016 9:27 AM
Comedy has been defined by many, from the Ancient Greek Theatre to writings of Aristotle to Shakespearean sonnets and plays to the silent film era of Charlie Chaplin, with one very important aspect in common: laughter. As time progressed from 425 BCE to modern day 21st century, the word came more and more to be associated with any sort of performance that causes one to literally laugh outloud. Today's spotlight is on an American comedy act whose work in radio, film and television made them the most popular comedy team in the 40s and 50s.

Today's History Lesson...the movies

Sometimes it takes only one movie...just one...to kick start the careers of film actors and directors. Then, the movie itself goes on to become a classic, an American icon. These are the films that truly bring back the memories as you stroll down memory lane revisiting the scenes and listening to the music of the era!

8 Films That Changed Sex As We Know It (NSFW)

8 Films That Changed Sex As We Know It (NSFW) | Human Interest | Scoop.it
From www.huffingtonpost.com - February 2, 2014 11:52 PM
Back in the 1950s, it was unusual to see two married adults sleep in the same bed, let alone witness an orgy filled with bodies, lust and sexual exploration. Then the 1960s came, and the tumultuous peace and love decade ushered in a filmic revolution in which sexuality was brought to the silver screen like never before.

Awakenings: ♫Oh, Pretty Woman!♫

Awakenings: ♫Oh, Pretty Woman!♫ | Human Interest | Scoop.it
From awakenings2012.blogspot.com - September 1, 2016 2:19 PM

"It is not unusual for a novel to become a movie. Many classics have resounded their presence decade after decade upon the silver screen. Among the greats are Gone With the Wind, The Great Gatsby, The Last Picture Show, To Kill a Mockingbird, just to name a few. There are also movie series, such as Harry Potter and Twilight. Less known are the songs that have been made into movies. A few that immediately come to mind are Stand By Me, La Bamba, Walk the Line, Cold Miner's Daughter and The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia. The song in the spotlight today is still going strong over 50 years after its release with the movie being an all-time favorite.

Awakenings: There's no truer grit than...True Grit (1969) | Human Interest | Scoop.it
From www.awakenings2012.blogspot.com - April 11, 2016 3:27 PM

"Growing up in the 50s and 60s meant cowboys and Indians, instead of iPhones and iPads! Time was spent outdoors playing the games children should play, enjoying nature and getting dirty. Mud on our faces, dirt in our shoes, soiled shirts and grass-stained jeans...that's what childhood life was all about!

When time was allowed for television, some of the best shows on TV were the Westerns...the shoot 'em ups where the bad guys were shot but always lived to play another 'baddie' in yet another Western movie. NO foul language, NO obscene sex."

How It Follows Uses Detroit to Explore the Horror of Urban Decay | Human Interest | Scoop.it
From www.slate.com - April 8, 2015 12:39 PM
Right from the start of the horror movie It Follows, I recognized my hometown of Detroit—or, more precisely, a suburban residential architecture native to the place. As the camera tracked, eerily, across an unremarkable tree-lined street in the movie’s long opening shot, I spotted the squat red-brick ranch houses of...
