The Adventure of Rocky and Bullwinkle! A brilliant film. It should be up there with Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

I really liked Twelve Monkeys too, the Terry Gilliam film with Bruce Willis. I don't know if people talk about that one much anymore.

Yes! I watch that once a year, at least. I assume you meant the one with Jack Nicholson?

I call that movie "Guys With Really Impressive Beards Who Pray A Lot Before Battle" Though since I'm a history nut, I really loved it.

Supposedly that’s how they really were during the Victorian era. I’ll probly get slammed by all the atheists and liberals that patrol these forums but I think we could use more in the way of Victorian values in these times.

Some Victorian values are actually admirable, at least to me. I would have appreciated long courtships, and being treated like a lady by the opposite sex. The values that aren't so useful, are those that supported narrow minded herd practices, active prejudices,or Might is Right attitudes.
(The Victorian/Edwardian ages are some of my obsessions)

Ok, since you gave implicitly gave me permission to slam you, heh...

Victorian values? You mean the belief that the lesser races needed to be Christianised in order to give them the gift of civilisation, and to lift them from the scourge of barbarism? That the mere word 'leg' couldn't be said by a man to a woman? That homosexuals were put in prison at hard labour?

I see nothing that is good about Victorian values, other than that they were an improvement over what preceded them.

See above. The ways in which men treated women would probably drive you to violence. Please do remember that (I assume here that you are female) in this period you would still have been essentially considered as property, to be disposed of by your father or husband as he saw fit. You had no say whatsoever in your own life. Your role was to have children, and to stay out of your husband's business. Of course, there were a few women who managed to achieve fame and public respect. They were anomalous in roughly the same way that Frederick Douglas was.

Yes, I know that there was much that was infuriating to females, and much that was just plain wrong. That (or those) periods in time are just one of my obsessions. Obsessions don't necessarily make sense!
