Title: How things have changed... Post by: Svengoolie 3 on August 18, 2018, 07:57:45 PM How things have changed! I was watching a little of ''house of Frankenstein'' on svengoolie and the promos bragged 5 monsters, the last two were the mad scientist and his aid, THE HUNCHBACK!
Today people b-tch about ''political correctness' but honestly, calling a. Person surrfering a birth defect deformity a monster is pretty shi--y when you think about it. It's just another case of watching an old movie and being given a stark. Example of how society has changed over a lifetime in America. BTW, HoF had Lon Chaney Jr. in it, and he starred in a little movie in the 50's called. 'Big house U. S. A. ' in which he was billed as '' THE WETBACK SMUGGLER! '' Yes, he was. http://filmnoirboard.blogspot.com/2015/11/big-house-usa-1955.html (http://filmnoirboard.blogspot.com/2015/11/big-house-usa-1955.html) It's really interesting to see how much our world has evolved by looking at what was once acceptable in movies...

Now it's only reserved for the gritty self destructive types. Title: Re: How things have changed...

We can cuss and talk about sex til we're blue in the face and we think that makes us liberated when we've given up a lot else in exchange.

Maybe the next version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" will be called, "The Person Living in Notre Dame Who is a Survivor of Kyphosis." It isn't as catchy as the original title, but . . .

Now hollywood rejoices in the persecution and destruction of people based on allegations of "sexual misconduct" https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/kevin-spaceys-new-movie-billionaire-boys-club-made-only-dollar126-on-opening-day/ar-BBM66jz?li=BBnb7Kz&OCID=ansmsnnews11 (https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/kevin-spaceys-new-movie-billionaire-boys-club-made-only-dollar126-on-opening-day/ar-BBM66jz?li=BBnb7Kz&OCID=ansmsnnews11) Title: Re: How things have changed...
