Big Hollywood : The Great One: Mark Levin Defends Borgnine, Slams Blacklisters at 'L.A. Times'

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 09:00:19 +0000

I'm glad you guys are cross promoting Mark Levin. He and Nolte are two of my favorite writers, which is a high honor when being placed in the company of David Horowitz, Jonah Goldberg, Thomas Sowell, and Charles Krauthammer.

Funny you should ask. No he hasn't, but Whoopi has.

Big Hollywood : America: Still Talking About Race

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 22:44:33 +0000

Thank you for writing this, Mr. Phillips. I'm in my 30's, and I've always noticed that the generation before me was so traumatized by the issue of race that they either can't take comfort in the progress of present relations, or they insist on holding on to the past as it keeps their moral purpose charged. But for someone my age, it would require the energy of a political zealot to cling to a past they never experienced. Unlike our parents, we grew up knowing that it's no longer 1959, and we can accurately discern not just when the race card is played, but when it's dangled out there as a distraction from legitimate criticism. The generation before us is instinctually frightened of it.

Hey Big Hollywood, I just saw that you linked to a review from Harry Knowles' site. Can we request that you not send this guy any traffic? Other than being an inept writer and film critic, he's a terrible human being. I've lived down the street from the guy for eight years, so I've seen for myself how he treats the people around him like they're beneath him. He doesn't really work, he doesn't tip waitstaff, he lacks courtesy, and he acts entitled. He takes money from studios for favorable reviews (mostly Sony, especially when they paid him to push their HD-DVD format), and he's too lazy to care about integrity. To give you an idea of his laziness, the guy has allowed himself to get so obese that he has confined himself to a wheelchair to get around. No injuries, no medical conditions-- just pure sloth. His liberal zealotry is actually the least repulsive thing about him.

Big Hollywood : 'Light-Fry' Crewmember Claims They Did Nothing Wrong -- Let's Go To the Video Tape!

All true, but what needs to be kept in mind is that the only reason this occurrence happened was because one side had the wrong politics. This is why the lighting crew is ultimately the culpable party. If it were animal rights activists, no conflict.

The pro-life group needs to press charges and sue the insurance company. The defendant doesn't stand a chance if its defense is "Tom Cruise was ziplining from on top of the building, so we pointed our light at the sidewalk." So was Tom Cruise expected to land exactly at Bueler's location, right where the light was focused? If so, why didn't a PA or security come clear the area first? There's also that part where someone assaulted whoever was recording this by forcefully trying to take away her camera.

My dad worked at NASA when I was a kid. He told me recently that it was just a big jobs bill with diplomatic uses. So maybe Obama's intention for it is simply the only honest statement to come from this administration.

Mr. Nolte: The last thing the conservative movement needs is any association to infowars.com. It's a website that should be marginalized, not validated with accreditation or links-- even if the story is correct. Alex Jones is the reigning king of conspiracy paranoia. He doesn't just entertain 9/11 truther garbage; He aggressively markets it. I've passively observed his ascension to national prominence here in Austin over the past 12 years, so you can believe me when I tell you that citing him as a source is credibility kryptonite.

Big Hollywood : Hrm...? The Leftist Entertainment Media's Sure Excited About Will Ferrell's New Movie

Thu, 15 Apr 2010 02:22:48 +0000

I didn't see anything in the trailer that Ferrel did that was funny. Maybe the bad cop/bad cop part, but that was due to trailer editing. I smell flop.

Big Hollywood : Daily Gut: I Explain the Sexes

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:00:08 +0000

She's not going to leave him. It's obvious. Here's why: He's a glorified biker mechanic, and she just won an Oscar and has become the biggest actress in the world. Many insecure, lower-status boyfriends/husbands would react by kissing her ass and being supportive. But insecure, lower-status bad boys (biker mechanics) react by cheating. Guess which insecure guy gets dumped or cheated on, and which one keeps the girl. I'll give you a hint: It's the one who made the girl feel like she lost. You all know this is true because you've seen it, but maybe you don't understand why. I'll explain it this way: She married him because he's the bad boy she needed to conquer and tame. After the taming, his status, his character, and his intelligence would start to matter. But he knows he's lacking in those areas, so he had to show her that she still has work to do if she's going to conquer him and keep his interest, and her Oscar doesn't make her out of his league. This is why even the hot, smart, and successful women will stay in abusive relationships. It's a powerful mind game, it works, and it proves that attraction is never based in logic.

Big Hollywood : Super and Not So Super Ads: Will.i.am? Green Police?

Tue, 9 Feb 2010 08:01:30 +0000

So why is everyone so worked up over the Green Police commercial? Because authoritarian oppression of personal choices is funny! You know what else is funny? There are people in power working diligently to make this not just a fantasy! LOL! Eagerly awaiting cute and silly commercials poking fun at the banning of free speech.., Because our government would never attempt that either, right? RIGHT?

Mr. Nolte, that was one of your better written reviews. That piece makes me want to see the movie you're discouraging me from seeing.

You are correct. Bringing Up Baby was tediously unfunny. His Girl Friday, on the other hand, is comedic magic.

I love Polanski's filmmaking, but his raping?... Not so much. Brisco County Brad Pitt lookalike.

Big Hollywood : Burt's Eye View: Liberalism is a Cult

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 04:48:47 +0000

Burt, you're missing something. Liberalism is indeed a religion, but it can't be claimed just by secularism. It's the religion of the counter culture. Those who have no core values except to rebel against American tradition, where the religious right and libertarians happen to find common ground.

Wow, does someone have a mancrush on Mike Patton? Nevermind, you've probably admitted that 87 times already. And I like Fight Test more than One More Robot, but not everyone can have my sophisticated taste.
