It has been too long since I have seen a Marx Brothers film to remember which is my favorite.

Ditto. $:-\$

George · « **Reply #64 on:** August 30, 2021, 05:24:28 PM »

And I don't know if I've seen one all the way through.

I had a nice time this evening at my book group discussion.

The timing of reading this book, Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou, made for a very interesting discussion.

Jane · « **Reply #68 on:** August 30, 2021, 06:10:01 PM »

The book is about Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos who just happens to be going on trial tomorrow for defrauding investors and patients.

Jane · « **Reply #69 on:** August 30, 2021, 06:10:15 PM »

We all agreed that she should be convicted.

Jane · « **Reply #70 on:** August 30, 2021, 06:10:26 PM »

We also agree that she is likely a sociopath.

Jane · « **Reply #71 on:** August 30, 2021, 06:10:34 PM »

I fear she may be found not-guilty.

A question about the Wicked concert. I don't recognize the tune that Jennifer Nettles sang for "No Good Deed" from the cast album. Is that an alternate version?

Good night, friends.

I loved that book.

Even though it was declared our clubhouse did not fall under the new masking regulations, and that any group of all vaccinated groups could go maskless, we all wore masks.

Jane · « **Reply #76 on:** August 30, 2021, 06:39:32 PM »

Fortunately, as it is only 67 degrees outside, the pool area was empty.

Jane · « **Reply #77 on:** August 30, 2021, 06:39:49 PM »

We took the discussion outside and removed our masks.

John G. · « **Reply #78 on:** August 30, 2021, 06:39:49 PM »

And, yes, she is a sociopath. And, if the preview of the defense is to be believed, a racist to boot.

I loved that book.

I wasn't thrilled with the first half, plus Elisabeth's behavior reminded me too much of my sister. Once Carreyrou began talking about his investigation it kept my attention.

Our group was split on who loved the book and who was a bit bored. We all enjoyed the discussion.

I missed the part about racist.

John, are you calling her a racist because she is using the boyfriend abused me defense?

In nothing I've read on her beyond the book does she ever come across as the victim of anybody else's influence. I realize that can be hidden, but it never fit the picture here.

John G. · « **Reply #84 on:** August 30, 2021, 07:29:45 PM »

I am tired.

John G. · « **Reply #85 on:** August 30, 2021, 07:29:55 PM »

I danced two hours tonight.

I know not all of the Marx Brothers movies are equally good. The ones I enjoy most, for a variety of reasons:

Duck Soup
Money Business
A Day at the Races
A Night at the Opera
Coconuts
Horse Feathers

I got to see a lot of their movies on the big screen, thanks to the revival cinema near the house. That contributed a lot to my enjoyment of them.

John G. · « **Reply #88 on:** August 30, 2021, 07:33:15 PM »

I was not a fan of Go West or Love Happy, even with Marilyn.

John G. · « **Reply #89 on:** August 30, 2021, 07:33:26 PM »

Let's move on ...
