Our Choice of YT Video of the Week for the Third Week of Nov.2016 - "Rita Hayworth Love Goddess" uploaded by Genia106 on Nov.13-2016.

          We choose a lovely video uploaded on Nov.13 - 2016 titled "Rita Hayworth Love Goddess" in which the author - our friend - a sophisticated New Yorker - Genia106 presents magnificent visuals consisting of superb shots of Rita Hayworth - the ruling Goddess of the American and International Cinema from the 1940's till the end of 1950's.
       Rita Hayworth's turbulent life story can be seen in many YouTube's video clips - however Genia's vid - focuses on the bright side of Rita Hayworth's many talents. The famous motion picture "Gilda" is considered a signature film made by Rita Hayworth. Many interesting clips from that picture - are available on YouTube with my most favorite - a lovely tune titled "Amada Mia" which features Rita Hayworth singing and dancing that famous number from the movie "Gilda" which is considered by many as the most popular film of Rita Hayworth - the picture which remains highly watchable - even if it's not a "cinematic" masterpiece of any kind.
       She and Glen Ford have most tremendous chemistry on screen in that piece of work and a few other films they made together. In their respective private lives - however - they - remained only good friends.
       At any rate - have a great Thanksgiving - everybody and as always - don't forget to click here on Fri. Nov.25-16 or a day before for our choice of the YouTube's video of the last week of Nov. 2016!

Our Choice of the YouTube Video of the Week for the Second Week of Nov.2016 is Joseph Paul Watson Video uploaded on Nov.10 - 2016!

         We choose Paul Joseph Watson's video uploaded on Nov. 10 - 2016 in which he eviscerates the American New Left's violent techniques employed against their political opponents with the New Left followers - rioting and destroying businesses because they disagree with the Constitutional Electoral College System in the U.S. - chosen by the Founding Fathers of the U.S. Constitutional System. It needs to be noted that the direct popular election methods have been consistently failing miserably in other countries like Russia and other semi-dictatorships.
       Mr. Watson points out that the youthful New Left movement in the today's United States constantly accuses their political opposition of Nazi tactics while - in reality - they - themselves - shamelessly embrace those kind of savage and deplorable actions. They need to grow up and learn how to deal with defeat and if they desire to change the system - there are plenty of civilized, legal ways to do it without resorting to violence. Civil disobedience might be a tool for change but it never allows for ugly and violent measures against any segment of the population.

       At any rate - have a great second week of Nov. 2016 - everybody! Thanksgiving is coming soon and all of us have a lot to be thankful for!
Don't forget to click here next Friday Nov. 18 - or a day before!

Our Choice of the YouTube Video of the Week for the First Week of Nov.2016 - "1920 Titina - Bob Haring and His Orchestra" Uploaded by Dr. 240252 - Nov.03 - 2016.

         For the first week of November 2016 - we have chosen the interesting video uploaded on Nov. 02 - 2016 by our friend - Dr.240252 titled "1920 Titina by  Bob Haring and his Orchestra".
       We find his commentary and the visuals most fascinating because they give one a feeling of quickly finding oneself in the middle of the famous flappers/superstars - dancers, singers, movie stars - brave, adventuresome and great looking ladies of the Roaring Twenties' Golden Epoch of Jazz.
       The popular tune "Titina" by a well known French composer Leo Daniderf who became famous because of it - was played and interpreted by just about any famous musical groups and vocalists. Dr.240252 uploaded another version of it several years ago as a vocal performance which accompanied Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Goddard - his - then - wife while both performed superbly a famous scene from equally famous movie "Modern Times". Charlie Chaplin sings his famous "Titina" and dances using his signature dance steps which resemble the "moonwalking" made famous by Michael Jackson.
        After Charlie Chaplin's tumultuous, long term relationship with Paulette Goddard - a talented and a beautiful actress - cooled off and fizzled out - he subsequently married and divorced several more famous beauties until he settled down with Oona O'Neill Chaplin - his last wife who was - at least thirty years younger than he. She was a daughter of a well known American playwright Eugene O'Neill who was opposed to this marriage which lasted a long time and produced several talented offsprings.
       At any rate - have a good first week of November 2016 - everybody! Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Don't forget to click here next Friday Nov. 11 - 16!
