Roy's got that nice Professor Althouse on the death of Paul Scofield (she posted a YouTube of the striking down the laws scene) ADDED: Actually, I've never seen "A Man for All Seasons." I was around in 1966 and went to a few movies in those days, but that wasn't one. It might have interested me back then. It must have played around campus in the years went I was in college (1969-1973). In those years, we went to see every movie we had any interest in, because we never knew when we'd get another chance and assumed it would only be on TV with commercials messing it up. But "A Man for All Seasons" was the exactly kind of movie we shunned and scoffed at then. Well, apparently the professor's legendary mad ego-google skillz are going at full throttle this morning, because come morning she showed up in comments with this[blah blah blah nobody understands the sixties but me because except for everyone else who reads political blogs I'm the only old person in the world] ...Spokane Moderate, perhaps instead of assuming you're smarter than me, you should spend some time learning the political and cultural history of the United States. You might be almost ready to read my blog, which requires spotting things like you saw -- good for you --and then thinking. You have to put in that extra step, the thinking part. Or you can be lazy and keep reading Roy and laughing at what he tells you to laugh at. The fact is "A Man for All Seasons" is an old-fashioned, stagy movie that is not an interesting piece of film art and does not become so because an old man dies. So she, um, hasn't seen the movie because she might have been interested but she really wasn't, because, as she knows without having seen the movie, it was presented in a fashion which is archaic forty-one years after the movie was released. She does, however, have a favorite scene. This woman, I always feel compelled to point out, is smarter than Glenn Reynolds. Says so right on her front page. It's one of my favorite factoids.
