Oh dear...sorry. I had to look it up.

I don't remember it, but it does have Peter Lawford in it, which means it deserves a look. There was a whole genre of those "college" movies, wasn't there? I...

I can cry at Hallmark commercials, so I may have you beat. :)

As for 'really' tragic movies...well, when my friends and I went to see Schindler's List, my friends brought two boxes of Kleenex just...

The most heart-shaking, passionate, song about Mary I've ever heard, sung by a Corsican group that works with Christina Pluhar. The journey that starts in the manger ends at the cross.

I've...

Ah, you're a family after my own heart. I absolutely love Little Women and The Nun's Story, and very much like Goodbye Mr. Chips, and The Thin Man. Even if Christmas is tangential in them, it's very...

This just came across my youtube feed.

Sentiment and pathos aren't restricted to Southern Europe. This is the best rendition of "Danny Boy" I've ever heard, and I've heard dozens of people perform...

What reading on the topic I've done was usually in the context of literature, particularly Victorian literature, and more generally in terms of the "mother" figure in general through the works of...

I watched one interview on youtube with Scorcese, De Niro, and Pacino, and now my "recommended" videos are like a greatest hits of mob movies. I was reminded of "Goodfellas".

I know a lot of...

Of course I meant no pejorative against gracile med types. To my eyes, most of the most beautiful people in the world, men and women both, are at least partly gracile med.

See this thread post 20....

^^Oh, so it's better to be a "coarse" type than a gracile type???

Who says?

What utter nonsense.

As for them coming directly from North Africa to Europe, that would be perfectly fine with...

Tutkun, the point is that until we have "ancient" Macedonian genomes there's no way anyone to know who is more similar to them.

All the rest is speculation.

My personal takeaway from Progon's...

^^Are you holding out on us? You have an ancient Macedonian sample for comparison????

^^The "E" clades have moved across North Africa from east to west. What you're proposing is that E-V13 or its immediate predecessor made that trip all the way across North Africa to the straits,...

Some people have nothing better to do than fantasize scenarios for which they have absolutely no proof.

When someone finds that Iberomaurusian sample in Iberia or Sicily far enough back in time to...

^^It's the internet effect.

Sometimes I think to myself, would you have said that if you were looking at the person face to face? If the person I was looking at was a racist, a sociopath, a...

Honestly, how do they think it probably got to Europe????

Dropped from a spaceship? SHEESH!

That probably deserves a second think: that's probably how HIV spread from monkeys to humans.

Primates are dangerous even when they don't attack you.

Consensual sex between siblings.

Interesting how some countries are so black and white, and some take a more "nuanced" approach.

Personally, while I think...

And the angels played and sang...

Thank you. :)

Is this your favorite of the Ave Maria's? Do you even have a favorite?

Interesting. So maybe this ancient "ability" isn't extinct. I like that they used the ability to smell different "notes" in wine as an example. :)

I've mentioned once, I think, that I could swear...

Those are all very helpful insights.

A silly example, I know, but your post prompted me to look back on my recent viewing of the latest Martin Scorsese film, "The Irishman". The "mob" culture is...

You look like you could be one of my cousins. :)

My Dad smoked pipes in the latter part of his life. Unfortunately he inhaled even that.

The smell, particularly of cigars (which he also...

Unfortunately, because of my career, I've been around more than my fair share of really violent men. Seeing the aftermatch is horrifying, and disturbing, but to see it in action is also frightening...

I think women doing the mate selection is one way, providing, of course, that they actually select for more passive, less aggressive men. Some women wouldn't. I wouldn't, for one. I'm not saying I'd...

Interesting that you don't get Tuscan. I've seen other Albanians get it.

Fwiw, their modern populations fit for me, which is really, I guess, just Eurogenes K15, is one of the worst I've gotten.
