That is fair, glad you still have some kind of outlet to let it out though XD
no i have not seen citizen Kane i will add it to my list! i did see to kill a mockingbird like when i was younger maybe 16 i really enjoyed it though it reminded me of a movie (i don't remember the name but it basically everyone is a jury member for a murder case and the main character won't change his mind - ugh I have to figure out the name later, i saw the play too).Sorry to answer your same post three times, but what? Do they even show The Beverly Hillbillies in Canada? I would have never guessed. Regarding old films, have you ever seen "Citizen Kane" or "To Kill a Mockingbird"? Those are two of my favorite oldies, along with "The Robe" and "Ben Hur." "Citizen Kane" really left an impact on my life, even though I didn't understand it until the last few minutes of the movie. No spoilers. I promise.
I will have to watch the robe and ben hur is on my list too, i just need to really settle down when it comes to movies, i want to be able to relax and melt into it - thanks for the suggestions btw!!!
and yeah I think we do get some channels with Beverley hillbillies but i actually found it for free online (like on you tube) along with petticoat junctions I am a sucker for that stuff, i wasn't like born when they were coming out, but there is something safe and nostalgic about them anyway. I can't wait to watch the movies you listed (it's more fun when someone recommends lol)
I think fav movie for oldies is actually dragonwyck, it is a bit darker but it reminds me of how desensitized we are and how seriously we need to take things we consider small now. I really enjoyed it. - no spoilers
ooh okay yeah, the course is ending for the summer this is the last week so maybe we can be accountability buddies for scirpture memorization or something. just lmk.
you are in bootcamp?! gl

I can share pics of the course too of course!!! i would legit love to it is so good my pastor said that when summer is over we can do the other two books too so when we get them i will share those too!
ooh yay, i like a lot of creative writing and other stuff so have a lot of odd thoughts and questions with scripture sometimes I cannot wait to hear people's opinions tbh !!!
it has been so long since i have been excited about a forum this place is great all of you are so great i can't wait to read what everyone has to say, although i will admit i have already started XD I wish this was an app for the phones too
Okay so first off, this is really odd comparison but your song feels like it should be an end credit to divergent - like it's those feels ( i mean it as a compliment it's really good!!)
also yeah people not hearing about the shows at our age is like normal ig, i only got into it when i tried to do digital detox but still wanted some shows and got into 50s living lifestyle and honestly really enjoyed it. I realized I was hooked when I started to get some of the celebrity references and recognizing actors in different oldies films lol.
i understand too with the concentration and all for reading, it can be a lot sometimes. I have been there actually for some time despite being a writer, but I have been trying to get back into it for the same reason you mentioned, it is a good escape.
So sorry though that you are dealing with losses yourself. from my own perspective i realize the word losses and struggles is severely underestimated so I really am sorry and pray you get through it. I would love to talk to you about it some time and hopefully share my own story. I wrote a small testimony about some of the loss called her broken prayer - (it is free rn so i don't mind sharing with you) LINK (HER BROKEN PRAYER BY BIRDIE FAYE)
Glad there is another fellow Canadian that also feels the same way about God and Christ being our grounding. tbh these past three years He has been silent but he is still here because I still have faith despite everything you know?
oh i also don't have a list of my fav authors rn i am still kind of looking since i want more clean and chrsitian reads, but Jane Eyre like has to be default XD

It took some searching, but I found a link where you can watch it for free. Hopefully, it will work in Canada:
Videos Citizen Kane (1941) - Orson Welles, Joseph Cotton | OK.RU
In the most dazzling debut feature in cinema history, twenty-five-year-old writer-producer-director-star Orson Welles synthesized the possibilities of sound-era filmmaking into what could be called the first truly modern movie. In telling the story of the meteoric rise and precipitous fall of a...

It is a rather long movie. If you decide to watch it, then you will not understand it until the very end. For me, the ending was very impactful. I won't say anything more than that because I don't want to ruin it for you in case you do decide to watch it.
"The Robe" and "Ben Hur" both have to do with Jesus Christ, and they are both very long movies.
You can watch "The Robe" for free here, if the link works in Canada:
Videos The Robe (1953)🔹 | OK.RU
The Robe is a 1953 US romantic drama film. It features Richard Burton, Jean Simmons, Victor Mature, Michael Rennie, Torin Thatcher, Richard Boone, Betta St. John, Ernest Thesiger, and Dawn Addams. In the Roman province of Judea during the 1st century, Roman tribune Marcellus Gallio is ordered...

You can watch "Ben Hur" for free here, if the link works in Canada:
Ben-Hur (1959)
A peaceful Jew is falsely accused by his childhood friend and enslaved. In a twist of fate, he gets his chance at revenge in a chariot race.
I'm going to see if I can find where I can watch "Dragonwyck." I never heard of that movie before. Thanks for the recommendation.

You can put this site on your phone but, unfortunately, I don't know how. Perhaps another member can assist you. I'm glad that you're excited to be on this site. This site, through the years, has been a tremendous blessing for me and my wife.
Oh really? thanks okay I will ask around.
Although maybe it is good to keep it on my PC I seem to be doing nothing but chatting - ha ha

Welcome Ciicil, I would not call myself a Christian author yet, my work in progress is in the nonfiction category for one thing, although there are those who would say it is pure fiction (most just know conclusions though, not the logic behind them) and m publisher is waiting for me to finish, as are several scholars who know enough to be fascinated .
Since you like Beverly Hillbillies, what do you think of Green Acres and Petticoat Junction?
Petticoat junction yes yes yes and I did watch some of Green Acres but honestly I wasn't able to get into it.
That is so cool that you are working on a non-fiction though. I have some non-fictions I would like to work on as well but it isn't time for that yet I think. Can I ask what the topic is about I would love to know more, i really enjoy reading non-fictions and about history (i will admit only recently though. I just finished Black Sun by Nicholas Goodrick a while ago. I need the physical book to make some notes I can't wait to re read it and his first book.
That is so cool that you have a publisher as well, I have always wanted to go through traditional publishing but right now I am going the indie route. is your manuscript almost done?
Right now, I am most of the way done, but also at what I consider the hard part. Numerous PhD's, in multiple fields including NT and Biblical Theology among others, would likely tell you that they are amazed that I consider what I have already written to be the easy part as they believe I have put things together better than anyone else they have ever read or even heard of. Just because I change a few assumptions and incorporate details that are often ignored.
And I asked about Green Acres and Petticoat Junction because n some story lines there were connections between Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Green Acres and even Hogan's Heroes. The connections were not commonly referred to, but did pop up on occasion with a simple passing comment about one or another of the different shows.
