"Even the photoplay called Patton..."

wyoming, i was curious about your use of the term "photoplay," so i looked it up. sure enough, photoplay was a magazine begun in 1911 as one of the first movie magazines. during the 1920's and 1930's, the magazine apparently had quite a bit of influence in the motion picture industry, but it went out of business in 1980--34 years ago. in all my years on this earth, i have never ever in popular usage heard a movie referred to as a photoplay.

so, wyoming, i very respectfully ask: how old ARE you?
 
My take on Lexi was that as a frosh at UM she was playing the point when she needed to be the shooting guard. She is great at lurking around the 3-point line because she is such a great shooter. However, she wasn't comfortable at the point. At EWU, she has this wonderfully quick little point guard (who got the MVP tourney award) who creates and then feeds Lexi. Come watch when EWU plays here - that is an absolutely superb guard combination. I am glad that things worked out so well for Lexi.

No, 'photoplay,' in a context that can easily be used for such phenomenon since 1897, is, as on a more worldly arena, a designation of the format/medium for your celluloid heroes out of tinseltown, californicatorville. As Boetius would say, if you have certain phenomenon, are you certain you have the 'right' word for it. The nominalist contra the realist polemical that's been around for the past 1500 years or so. I refuse to use the term 'movie,' hence, knowledge upon reflection, in place of merely following the spontaneous order of nature and/or creation unto the 'world's wickedness' as J.S. Mill cited in one of his postumous writings citing the 'recondite forces of destruction that serves that of a different creator,' as 'the true enemy of humanity knows the nature of humanity and means to destroy it.' That taken into consideration. I guess it depends on just what you sell your conscience as a commodity unto. That's if you ever listen to the world you're living in, that is, as the world's greatest evil is that that denies the pleas of justice and mercy of the suppliant. Telepathy and clarivoyance isn't electromagnetic. I don't worship 'psychic television,' and I don't bend a knee to tinsel as upon an altar in the Wilma would have it. They aren't worth more to me than I am to myself and I don't care for their expostulations that they have the 'last word' on everyone else, just because they showed up in a 'movie.'

Actually, though, I may have given far more credit where it would be misplaced. It may have been in the Dialogue of the photoplay, but my memory is a little bit foggy, nowadays, since it's been quite a long time ago that I watched it. It may or may not be. But he quote per se of General Patton's..."Just finished reading the Koran - a good boook and interesting." That would be from the War Diaries for North Africa Landings, 'Operation Torch,' 02 November 1942. Written upon the USS Augusta as part of the Western Task Force. A quote from the photoplay more accurately rendered would be..."Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book." This being, for all intends and purposes, interpretively speaking, a reference to Basil Liddell Hart's 1939 publication entitled Strategy.
 
Summation Statement:

A question was asked and it was cordially answered as to why not ask the one that's in the know. The one that is always, as has been for the past six or seven years or so, extolling the virtues of one and only one ethnicity, in exclusion of all others as if all others are not being of any worth whatsoever.

I, on my part as well, as stated..."not my quote..." Not saying I agree or disagree with such an assessment, by the way, receive the backlash of all pompous vain glorious self righteous hooligans that fight some one else's war for them, evidently, at the exclusion of all others, like a pack of mercenaries, a ravenous pack of dogs by the way, citing their superiority and vaulted position.

Maliciousness is indeed a matter of the 'Will.'

Carry on, low lifes. I don't even have to call it a bait-n-hook, either.

Just read the first sentence and the last, and it will make more sense.
