Please shut the fuck up about things you know nothing about. You're an uninformed child.
My favourite thing about vague anon asks like this with no timestamp is that I can't tell if it's about Irish Unity, Scottish Independence, being happy about Leo packing it in, supporting a free Palestine, or my opinion on Walkers crisps
So to cover my bases
- Yes United Ireland
- Yes Independant Scotland
- Goodbye Leo gobshite
- Free Palestine
-Walkers crisps are shite (except the fancy fancy ones)
John Wayne & Maureen O'Hara Mesmerize in this Classic Romance
youtube
The above tribute is dedicated to June Beck, founder of Maureen O'Hara Magazine.
Synopsis: "A retired American boxer returns to the village of his birth in 1920s Ireland, where he falls for a spirited redhead whose brother is contemptuous of their union." -IMDB
The Quiet Man (1952) is a film directed by John Ford (How Green Was My Valley) and stars John Wayne (True Grit, The Searchers) and Maureen O'Hara (The Parent Trap, Miracle on 34th Street). This is the second film Wayne and O'Hara starred in together, the first being Rio Grande, which Ford also directed. Wayne and O'Hara had amazing chemistry on screen and made five films together in total, the rest being Wings of Eagles, McLintock!, and Big Jake. The Quiet Man is seen as the more successful of their films, having achieved the Academy Award for Best Cinematography and Best Directing in 1953.
John Wayne & Maureen O'Hara remained great friends until his death in 1979.
The song in the tribute is Into the Mystic by Van Morrison.
Notes: As with most old films, there are some things that may not have aged well, but were considered fine for the time period. One thing is the jokes about beating women who misbehaved with sticks. While no one was actually beat with a stick in the film, it was joked about. O'Hara's character, Mary Kate, was a redhead with a noted fearful temper. It was implied that she needed a good stick whipping to keep her in line, but Wayne's character never did. It was a sign that he had no issues with her being full of fire. The fact that these jokes exist doesn't diminish the fact that this movie is wonderful. I will always highly recommend it.
Fun Fact: At one point during filming, O'Hara hit John Wayne for real after their first big kiss. The punch was scripted, but she didn't pull it. Wayne saw it coming and blocked her punch with his hand. The impact of her fist with his palm caused her wrist to fracture. She literally broke her wrist and kept filming. O'Hara prided herself on being able to keep up with the men. She never let anything they threw at her bring her down. This is one reason why John Ford repeatedly used her in his films and why John Wayne loved working with her.
Colonization is the same everywhere, but Russia uses in Ukraine all possible methods with excessive cruelty
She was reduced to tears by an Irish tour bus driver. Listen to his words:
We share the same pain and devastating experience.
Monument to the Holodomor victims in Kyiv.
That's crazy to understand through history how many small and free nations have been living through colonization by bigger countries. Always not enough land, or power for them.
Throwback Russian crimes. Different time, but the Russian obsession with genocide is never-ending:
My Donbass. My Ukrainian Donetsk region. Always.
Glory to the Heroes of The Azov!
"Don't escalate" - someone said. Ukrainian army if they can, will target the enemy's equipment. And Ukrainians did that damage with the Ukrainian complex Neptun by the way.
That ship was Ukrainian before the Russian occupation of Crimea. Don't worry when all our lands will be liberated, Ukrainians build so much more powerful ships that won't be used to kill us.
Ukrainians, please listen to air raid alarms. Russians don't stop even for one moment. Ukrainian lives matter. Be safe. Take care of yourself.
Things that are going to happen in 2024 according to Star Trek:
1) the absolutely giant homeless-population of the USA (or was is just New York? Idk, I‘m from Europe) is going to start a civil-war fighting against the upper class and police.
