Movie Throwdown : Friday May 20, 2022

Posted by on

Gentlemen… it begins.

We got babes, we got music and now we got movies.

A LOT of movies.

Just starting to look at this and there have been a lot of good movies. (If one stops in 1999. I keed! I keed!)

So we are going to enjoy a slow stroll through it all, taking our time, but still making our choices.

For the sake of my sanity we will not be including silent movies (Well maybe 1, guess.) I will try to keep these closely grouped as possible. We will be starting in the 1930’s this week. Drama movies. Just 8 but make your choices as which is best. I hope you add some to the discussion as why you liked one or the other.

If you haven’t seen the movies, what’s stopping you? Expand your horizons and check them out. Links to the IMDB page is provide if you are interested in all the details.

So let the great experiment begin here. Matches will follow at 2:00, 6:00 and 8:00.

Mr. Smith goes to Washington vs Queen Christine

Mr. Smith goes to Washington 1939
  • Director Frank Capra
  • Starring James Stewart
  • Starring Jean Arthur
  • Starring Claude Rains

VS

  • Starring Greta Garbo
  • Starring John Gilbert

Audit Finds Half of Joe Biden’s Twitter Followers Are Fake
New York Post | May 17th, 2022 | Jack Hobbs

At least half of President Biden’s 22.2 million Twitter followers are bogus, a new audit revealed.

The audit, which was done for the social media giant by software firm SparkToro, found that 49.3% of the president’s followers are “fake followers,” according to Newsweek.

SparkToro has defined “fake followers” as “accounts that are unreachable and will not see the account’s tweets (either because they’re spam, bots, propaganda, etc. or because they’re no longer active on Twitter).”
