The problem is that the specific example used in the movie was the very real '93 World Trade Center bombing and it blamed it on the government and said that the real terrorists were just innocent government patsies. It doesn't just say that the active bomb plot was a plot to get more money. It said that the earlier 1993 World Trade Center bombing was also one, and the Truthers are evidence that people will believe such nonsense.

I like much about the movie, but that bit about the '93 World Trade Center bombing left a bad taste in my mouth before 9/11 and is far worse after it.

This is why I'd love to see an opponent fully unload on him about everything that's wrong about him all at once, framed in terms of the media not digging into his garbage the way the did with Palin and Cain. Bring up his academics and lack of academic writings. Bring up Michelle's cozy hospital job. Bring up Rezko. Bring up the sleazy way he defeated several opponents. Question his vacations and golf playing. Question why his wife and kids didn't go with him to see his dying grandmother. Question whether he or Ayers wrote his books. Heck, even throw in the HillBuzz and Sinclair gay sex rumors. Then say, "I don't know if all or even any of those things are true, but the media has been more interested in protecting him and ignoring anything that could possibly hurt or embarass him than they would have een if his name was Palin or Cain, preferring the voters know almost nothing about him.". Done properly, this could cause him to lose it. A third party candidate like Donald Trump, if he planned on dropping out before the end, could be even more brutal. But based on what I've seen, any solid attack that makes him look bad will cause him to look even worse because he can't handle it.

Heck, they might be able to get him to sputter on one thing: bin Laden. When he brings that up, ask why he thinks any other president wouldn't have done the same thing. It was a no brainer. Seriously. What did he do that any other president wouldn't have in the same situation? And if it was a hard decision for him, why was that?

The Long Kiss Goodnight had some great dialog and good acting, but it was a 9/11 Truther movie before 9/11, blaming the 1993 World Trade Center bombing on the government, who framed poor innocent people for it.

The only time Stephanopoulos was ever good for a debate was when he went after Obama during the Philadelphia Democratic Primary debate in 2008, and he only did that to help his true masters, the Clintons.

Yes, he's in both, but actors usually don't get a lot of say over their lines or props, so I'm not sure he should take the blame for that. As for dating the production, I agree.

That bit in Life on Mars, just like the money with Obama's picture on it in Terra Nova, will be unavoidably obvious examples of how liberals inject nonsense into movies as time passes. But I thought the episode dealing with the Weather Underground was a pleasant surprise in that it didn't really give them any positive spin at all.

Personally, I'm not that big of a fan of Star Trek VI and would probably rate it below The Motion Picture and possibly at the bottom of the original series cast movies. I do, however, agree that Star Trek V is under-appreciated and far more disparaged than it deserves, especially if you've read Shatner talking about what he really wanted and might have done had he been given the budget and approval.

While I agree that it contains some really unnecessary sucker punches, I think the US version of Life on Mars did have a few redeeming features and some decent conservative themes, too. I do suggest watching one additional episode, #13, "Revenge of Broken Jaw". It deals with the Weather Underground and let's just say that it really doesn't make them look good.

Japanese TV Dramas run about a dozen episodes and then they are done. They have a beginning, middle, and ending. Other Asian countries use a similar model, but they often run longer.

The nice thing is that the authors can do things like kill off even major characters, which makes things more unpredictable. You can't count on anything working out. During a particularly dark run of Japanese dramas in the early 1990s, I saw a drama where the point of view character actually died before the ending. So when an upset character would run toward a busy street, my wife and I would cringe because it was entirely possible they'd get run over and hospitalized or killed, a sort of tension one rarely finds in episodic American television.

Humor me. Give me your best condemnation of communism, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and Mao. Surely if liberals aren't communists and communists are bad, you can find something bad to say about them all, right? Let's year the worst you have to say about them.
