The Threepenny Opera, written by Bertolt Brecht, based on an earlier work called The Beggar's Opera, with songs by Kurt Weill, one of the universe's great gifts to music. It's the story of a notorious criminal and murderer who gets what he deserves: at the end he's made a baron. "The Ballad of Mack the Knife" was translated into English and made into a hit by--well who didn't cover it? The most famous cover, I suppose was by Bobby Darin. Here it is:

Oop. Got it wrong: Vielen Dank.

So because someone chooses movie you don't like, they know nothing about them. Thus you are the grand authority on movies.

Viel danken.

Seems like they would be more properly called mis-concept cars.

Mack Heath habt ein Miata Und das Miata sieht man nicht.

You have to wait a few hundred years before you can make jokes about a plague.

You anticipated all my questions about it. But one thing occurs to me. Why is it that no futuristic prototype cars ever look like the cars that actually get built later on? The same is true for futuristic cars in movies.

Was it in a movie?

Weren't those the sets which were burned for the Gone With the Wind (1939) burning of Atlanta scene?

The only way to be sure is watch it yourself. That means buying it or streaming it. Regardless, it's a charming movie.

From text i saw in posted comments i guess it's russian.

Being able to post and create threads defeats the purpose of registering.

I think they've done that.

All of these one poster self-titled thread drive-bys must come from the same murky source. They surface just to lob a bomb into the messageboards and are never heard from again.

She just couldn't believe anything could be that big.

Tough guys, marshmallow hands.

I don't have a problem with anybody of a particular ilk, or with a particular bent being a guest on TCM for anything. And I won't criticize them for a lack of knowledge, expertise, or insight because of it. Even if it gets a little tiring getting past their platform to the movies themselves. This is true for hosts and guests whose views I appreciate as well as those I disagree with.

There are only so many hours in a day, and only so many Irish eyes that can be squeezed innem. TCM has played many of the movies you listed, and not only on St. Paddie's day.

The big deal is/was speedracer5 is that Ava Duvernay is African American, and she was socially activist in her comments and movie selections. Thus she has become a target for agitators who ply the internet to sow discord and division in the American populace. You will notice that most of the bait tossers are new accounts. You will also notice the OP and Sitar_Man both misspell Miss Duvernay's name the same way. Jacqueline Stewart comes up for criticism because she, too, is African American and makes it a part of her tenure at TCM to bring people's attention to the role women and African Americans played in the silent film era developing the art and science of moviemaking.

Tried it on my MacBook Pro with El Capitan OS (shows you how old my mac is), with Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. No go. Tried on my Samsung phone with Android and it plays. Looks like its something about Android that makes the difference.

Smells phishy to me.

Only as coq-au-vin.
