I thought Paul could have been a little more detailed and forceful about economic theory. But then I realized he was trying to explain the subject to the equivalent of an 7th grade audience.
And Letterman came off like a condescending, moronic jerk. What else is new?
I can't think of a studio more deserving of a Best Picture statuette than Pixar. It'll never happen, though: another reason why the Oscars are a joke.
The hypocrisy and condescension was so rank in those videos; I stopped halfway through the second one. Hateful, hateful man.
And Maher had to make a point about not putting "Lt. Col." in front of Allen West's name. What was that about rhetoric again?
I doubt it has much to do with age but rather taste and proper appreciation. I'm in my early-20s and Hitch is easily my favorite director, a preference which is shared by several of my friends. The film studies department at my university, for example, has a class specifically on Hitchcock that fills up within minutes every semester. It's my peers who've never sat down and watched a Hitchcock film who dump all over him. That leads me to believe that Mr. Shapiro has never actually seen a Hitchcock film and is just spouting an opinion made by a buddy. The fact he saw "Notorious" and "Rebecca" as the "same film" only solidifies this belief. That is one of the most inaccurate and off-base assessments I've EVER HEARD.
My favorite Robin Hood adaptation so far is probably the Disney one, funnily enough. There's some good laughs in there (Prince John is hilarious!), and they actually stay faithful to the excessive taxation storyline rather than Robin Hood being some wealth redistributer. There are other adaptations out there that conveniently ignore that little point...
Thank goodness I have my Jane Austen adaptations to keep me satisfied; usually just a look between the leading couple is far more emotionally impactful and meaningful than any sex scene I've seen in a film.
People think he's this very attractive man; I don't really see it. Not my cup of tea. Admittedly, he does have a good smile, though. If I put aside the fact that I vehemently disagree with just about everything he says and is grossly unqualified to be president, he comes off (usually) as a likeable man---and a family man, which is huge for a lot of women. If it wasn't for that, there wouldn't be a single thing about him I liked. I don't get pervy/creeper/indecent vibes from him.
If I saw his picture without knowing what he did, he'd look a bit pervy to me. Certainly not a guy I'd give a second thought about. I really can't pinpoint what exactly it is that gives off those vibes, just that I can pick up on them. But because my opinion of him is skewed by the fact he is a raging jihadist murderer, all I get when I look at him is "Ew, ew ew, oh God, take it away!"
Effing monster; I hate looking at his picture. As a female, I get an intense creeper vibe from him---hmm, wonder why?
The whole car insurance analogy falls apart on just one point: You have to buy car insurance to protect the other drivers. Health insurance is about you. I'm surprised this point wasn't included in this article.
