Then why name the doctor Levine?

Doesn't the fact that they CAN do all of those things sort of point out how this is a different situation?

"Point Break" was already remade as "The Fast and the Furious".

I hate to say it, but I like 30 Rock a lot. The knocks against my beliefs are pretty constant (between Jack Donaghy's Republicanism, Kenneth's hick upbringing and Liz's "Clintonista" views), but all in all I have to say I'm surprised at the sympathetic Republican that Jack plays. I mean, I would expect Alec Baldwin to portray him as either a cruel devil or a moron, but often it's great to see Jack giving voice to right-wing beliefs. For instance, when he and his wife heard that their Canadian child delivery would be "free", they angrily refuse and insist that someone take their money. That's pretty much how my family acted when we got sick in England; all the Brits around us assured us that our medical treatment (despite being American tourists) would be "free", and we kept telling them it wasn't right to take their tax money out of their system if we didn't pay into it.

I remember the Friends episode where a woman steals Monica's identity and they befriend her. She rants about how bad "Dead Poets Society" is, because the kid who kills himself should have just waited a year to move out.

I don't know if you caught that he references "Glory" (I think the reporter didn't know what he was talking about, and so quotes it lowercase) as a movie that shows black soldiers being used as cannon fodder by white officers. That's George's take on one of the great films that is better written than any of his, apparently.

The PvP T-shirt says it best: Joss Whedon is my master now.

I'm uncertain as to when the whole Tea Party thing began. Was it before this event? If so, they may have wanted to avoid a "Mad Hatter has his tea party at the White House" meme, which EVERY two-bit comedian would be riffing on when they heard about it.

I'm going to Mission this weekend with my wife. (GASP! We may even pay... EVENING TICKET PRICES!) We just couldn't go the last two weekends due to work, holidays and illness, but Brad Bird is batting 1000 so far so there's no way I can't see this in a theater.

Simply put, this movie is far more complex than simply saying, "It makes fun of duck and cover and hates guns so it's leftist." This is a good example of an intelligent movie that has themes all can agree on. Note that it doesn't chastise the hunters for killing a deer. Christian's review is wrong; the general doesn't grow. Throughout the picture he is a sober and clear-headed person who has to take on REAL threats (Commies and a malfunctioning alien war machine that has landed in this town).

When Sarah Palin's basketball nickname "Barracuda" was made known, people started playing it at her appearances...and suddenly Heart has to pontificate about how Palin doesn't represent them and blah blah blah. They couldn't just say, "We don't endorse her but thank you for making our very old song a hit again, just remember to pay your royalties." Bah. ... As for all of the people above saying, "Find the artist who agrees with you and support them," that's ridiculous. It precludes events such as the above, where a cool song fit the vibe of the time. (This is a film-related site. Do you make a soundtrack of songs selected from a short pre-approved list or do you find the songs that are right for the movie and pursue the rights?)
