I prefer old style adventure movies myself, especially if it's about Europeans, like something about the British in India etc. Westerns are typically American, of course. Not that there is something wrong with it:) Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-87880472089363215352015-02-26T03:38:03.312-08:002015-02-26T03:38:03.312-08:00I loved Temple Grandin, too.

Didn't John Felton say in "three Musketiers" something like he will show to Milady the same courtesy he would show to any lady -if not because of the woman, but because of himself. <br /><br />I still think that slapping men and throwing items at him are nothing but signs of bad temper. :) I almost think Lorena deserved that little "domestic discipline" in the end.

She was a saloon owner, a tart in his mind. She didn´t belong to the category of women one takes home to Mother, and he treated her accordingly. In the end, he recognises his mistake. It´s as old/fashioned as it gets.

I'm a big fan of his and thought I am like the only woman in the world who likes his books. <br /><br />I tried to watch that "Frontier Gal" but the kissing scene was bit too much. I hate it when women bitch slap men in old movies. If you don't want man kissing you, bite him or kick him but do not slap. And if you want to be kissed, why in earth slap him? I hate that in movies bitch slapping is often acted out like it is funny, but I really do not think hitting people ineffectively is funny. <br /><br />And I also hate it that in those scenes, first the woman doesn't want to be kissed but then suddenly she starts to like it. It really gives wrong impression to men, that it is ok to walk around kissing unwilling girls because eventually they will like it. <br /><br />I know, I know, I sometimes lack a sense of humour. :) But I was forcibly kissed by a very much older man when I was teenager so I have strong feelings about this. Old-fashioned woman as I am, kissing is big deal for me. Housewife from Finlandnoreply@blogger.com
