Question should be, "Do We Like Whom Authored Shakespeare's Plays"?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespeare_authorship_question
There was a documentary on TV a few weeks ago and it was raised he didn't own any books.
(His last will made no mention of books)
Oxfordian theory of Shakespeare authorship

Bad Lieutenant (1992) been 20+ years since I've seen it. That is one mess up cop. Loved the scene when he shot the car radio.

Japanese culture has long had a militaristic martial foundation. I once heard somebody on the radio say that WWII Japanese military leaders approached war as an abstract concept. it's like they expect everyone to understand that brutalities are a part of war like the bataan death march or corregidor.

In view of TCM's failure to show all the Godzilla films, I'll post one of them now
Can see they were a fan on "Monty Python's Flying Circus".

'Long as we beat 'em.
There still is a strong strain in Japanese society which is militaristic, denying the horrors they visited on the Koreans, Chinese, and others, and honoring the war criminals we hanged. But if individual people can be a confusing mass of contradictory elements, think what a nation of them would be.

and yet having fought and killed each other in a great war has brought us closer in spirit to the great Japanese people. no longer enemies but now friends and allies and comrades in arms.
so often those we have fought later become our brothers.
The Japanese did learn they were lied to, not only in their Emperor is NOT a God but we were not the savages their leaders taught them we were. Must had really been a reality check. Americans are forgiving, we help Japan after WWII and did not seek any form of retribution on the Germans, only their Nazi leaders (Nuremburg).
Even after WWI , Woodrow Wilson begged the European powers not to be hard on Germany but turned a deaf ear. Their desire for vengeance (barbaric war reparations) backfired 7 ways to Sunday.
Speaking of how we treat kindly to those after a war, this is why zealots/extremist bent over backwards to derail our plans to help Iraq like how we treated Japan after the 2003 war (one which should had not started to begin with
).

Is there some therapeutic movie in the works for Fukushima?

All of the Godzilla movies have English versions but TCM tries to present them the way they were originally released.
Hope the American version gave "Godzilla Raids Again" a less lame ending.
He just stood around for a 2nd wave of jet fighters to bury him? LMREO!

What kills me is some things are marked in English....radio, jet fighters.
We actually called Godzilla that??
Godzilla is turning over in that icy tomb.

Is there an English dubbed version of "Godzilla Raids Again"?

I have absolutely zero desire to see this film.
I am so sick of the Joker, Batman, and everything Joker/Batman-adjacent.
Enough already!
From the trailer I've seen, can't personally connect this version of the Joker with Batman.
Wonder is he laughing now that Batman has teamed up with the others to form the Justice League?
Seen "Wonder Woman" (2017) for the first time last week, wasn't bad. Since she killed a god (Ares) should she be called Super Woman?
(Lynda Carter is now so lame.)

What kinds of films could or would TCM show if it did a series on sex in the movies? I don't mean X-rated ones...but maybe some R-rated or even NC-17 rated films late at night. Also, I think they could look at how sex was depicted in pre-code films, then how the topic was treated during the production code era.
What's inspired this thread is the fact that Starz has put together its own theme about sex-related movies. And these are some of the ones they have chosen:
WAITING TO EXHALE (1995) Four African American women have various sexual relationships.
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN (2005) Same sex is explored.
FOR A GOOD TIME, CALL... (2012) Two roommates have a knack for talking dirty.
THE NEIGHBOR (2018) William Fichtner plays a man who watches his neighbors.
GETTING NAKED: A BURLESQUE STORY (2018) A documentary about the neo-burlesque scene in New York City.Here's some pre-code suggestions.

Sex education with Dr. Ruth. LOL I was never a fan of hers. She seemed over-rated.
Doesn't seem to be an expert at marriage.

DID you mean "here", or "HEAR"? And "work" instead of "worked"?
You've been spending too much time on "SchlockBook".

That's 1982 computer space. Today he could do it with a Playstation 2. 😁
It has nothing to do with a computer, the super laser array is what dismantles the molecular structure and then reassembles it elsewhere. That's the plan in the film, what a plot hole!
That laser array actually is the Shiva Laser located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva_laser
Instead of this focal point in the movie for all those super lasers..
....it in reality goes here to fuse hydrogen into helium.
40 years and they still haven't got past this point! How do you get the fuel in, energy out with the magnetic containment field up? It's so strong, can lift a stack of 300 cars 50 feet off the ground! The "bottle" as they refer to it is located behind that "big door" you see in Tron. It can barely stay shut without bursting off it's hinges while the experiment is in progress. That's why the laser bay has to be completely cleared during operation, not only do one has to be concern with all that concentrated laser power going wrong but the very intense magnetic field as well. Fusion experiments are very dangerous!

Now there's one staring me right in the face, "Blazing Saddles". No where in the film were there a saddle set alight.
