Lurker 5 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Oh man, if only I could live in Cuba. Apparently Steven Spielberg is there now publicising Minority Report and also there is a Spielberg film festival going on as well. They're showing E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jaws, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Empire of the Sun, and Duel.This just isn't fair! Why do the Cubans get to have all the fun??Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 I also read that in a local newspaper. And there was a shor mention in there that Spielberg supports Bush's military course of action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 If you lived in Cuba, you would want to move to the United States, where you would have your own orchestra, and night club act, which your wife Lucy would always want a part in, but your friends Fred and Ethel are far more talented and qualified to take part in.And you telling Lucy she has some 'splainen to do.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Actually I wasn't reacting to the Spielberg news, my post was in reference to Joe's I Love Lucy post. But it could also apply to the fact that I can't visit Spielberg in Cuba. :cry: In which case you're right, I would be overreacting.

AHerrera83 0 Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Neil, if you lived in Cuba, you'd probably be too poor to afford tickets to this festival, but you'd be able to smoke some of the finest cigars in the world, though... Incidentally, King Mark, if you captured your specimens of Phoebis Avellaneda, you'd probably need a jar, a freezer and some ethyl diacetate or trichloroethelene. How'd you plan to take all that through customs? LOL . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL .Dryed up dead and folded in a paper enveloppe,but i would probably spend the rest of my days in a filthy prison cell.Oh,by the way I DO have have an A- pair Phoebis avellaneda and Parides gundlachianus in my 1550 near perfect species collection I stumbled on at an auction of a long dead guy's posessions,intact but with colors slightly faded.still a highlight though .Heard it was extinct now,am I correct?K.M.

Not one person has made fun of Cuban Society. I will say this I don't want to live there, for the same reason I don't want to live in Florida, too much sand.Besides its not like Cuba has been part of Spain, for at least 100 years.

Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Look Joe. Satire can be funny when speaking about things that can be laughed about. I would never put a nickname to a person who has a defect, for example.I said the comment was out of Place. I never stated i felt offended.If i were Cuban. i would have got offended.I think few Cubans will find funny their level of life or their politics and lefft if foreig people jokes about it. ( I do not want to star a Political debate, please)I found it uncalled for not becasue i'm Spanish, nor i have familly there, i would have said the same if Neil had said another country.Luke I think you need to explain yourself, your parallel about Sept. 11th is completely way out there. I know I don't understand what your beef is, and I know Neil doesn't. Tell us what you mean.Look? I only mentioned it and you felt somehow offended. How would have been your reaction if i had made a satirical comment about it?And I didnt paralelled anything, i only wrote an example.Besides its not like Cuba has been part of Spain, for at least 100 years.104 years to specify.Well it was not all our fault, some people help it.
