Big Hollywood : Does Jamie Lee Curtis Think Obama Could Have Saved Whitney Houston?

Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:23:48 +0000

There are plenty of conservatives who argue for, if not the legalization of drugs, the decriminalization of them as well as to an end to the "War on Drugs" as waged on American citizens by government at the city, state, and Federal level. Furthermore, initial news reports indicate that it was probably Xanax as well as other legally-obtained prescription drugs that did Ms. Houston in - not crack, crank, heroin, or any other legally proscribed drug (prescription drug abuse is also a growing problem among adolescents). Also, the end of Prohibition has done little, if anything to stem the spread of alcohol abuse, particularly among adolescents. And, while liberals may advocate the legalization of drugs, a lot of them, particularly in cities like New York and San Francisco, want to proscribe the "excessive" comsumption of salt, sugar, and trans-fats, either through outright bans or through excessively high taxes on foods containing said substances. After all, it's liberals who also want to restrict the emission of carbon dioxide, a gas exhaled by humans and other fauna.

The French and the British could have defanged the Nazi threat had they reacted with force before the invasion of Poland: (a) when Hitler had sent troops into the Rhineland in contravention of the Treaty of Versailles, or (b) when Hitler sent troops to occupy the rest of Czechoslovakia after they had been given the Sudetenland. When the bulk of German troops were committed to war in Poland in September, 1939, the French and the British could have invaded Germany from the west, throwing a big freakin' monkey wrench into the gears of the German war machine. Instead, both France and Britain "sat on their hands" throughout the entire German operation against Poland even though both countries had declared war against Germany. Also, there was a very strong sentiment against "foreign intervention" in Europe among the US population (and no, not just among Republicans, as the "progressive" revisionist historians would have people believe).

California has turned into what Mark Steyn claims Britain has become: a place where the state polices everyone but the actual criminals.

I've recently discovered some amazing foreign-language movies at my local public library: "Katyn", a Polish-language film about the massacre of Polish armed forces officers by the Soviets in WWII, "Burnt by the Sun", a Russian-language film about a Red Army officer and veteran of the Russian civil war caught up in the Soviet purge in the '30's, and "Brother", a Russian-language film about a Red Army veteran who becomes involved with organized crime in 1990's St. Petersburg. My point is that the really original, groundbreaking cinema is not being made in Hollywood or even by those Sundance Festival poseurs. I'll probably have to wait for a DVD of this film to get to my local public library because I'll guess that it's not going to see much distribution in the US outside the "art house" cinema circuit (maybe it'll make it to some theater in or near the Polish neighborhoods on the north and northwest sides of Chicago).

If you were trying to be funny, you failed. You came off as just annoying and, dare I say it, insensitive.

"For some reason, she decided to go to her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend Quinn for advice. Because, of course, the best place to go for relationship advice is your current boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend..." especially when that ex-girlfriend attempted to trick your dumb-as-a-bag-of-hammers boyfriend into marrying her by claiming that her baby, fathered by his fellow teammate on the football team, was his. It's puerile nonsense like this that turned me off to "Glee" after the first season.

I don't think she's any smarter or sexier than any of the other actresses working Hollywood right now. From the looks of it, her career doesn't seem to be going anywhere, either. Hell, Betty White at 90 is doing better than she is, career-wise. It's too bad that "Love Boat", "Fantasy Island", and "Hollywood Squares" aren't on anymore; at least, Ms. Longoria would still have some hope of finding more work on the "small screen".

I don't begrudge any of those Hollywood stars for their money - at least they didn't make it from our taxes. I can and do disagree about how they choose to spend that money; in this case, to fund the re-election campaign of a failed idealogue. Senora Longoria, I hope that you have plenty of that "Desperate Housewives" cash left over because it's gonna suck living out your retirement years in some little bungalow or townhome in Tarzana (epecially when almost half of your residuals will be going to pay for ObamaCare).

That gives me an idea for a movie: a female student intern comes up with an idea for a screenplay which she submits to a swarmy "progressive" film director/producer. The director/producer invites the girl to his home in the Hollywood Hills to discuss her idea. She accepts and, while at the producer's house, is drugged and raped. The female intern recovers long enough to escape from one of the producer's goons who was taking her dump her in one of the seedier parts of East L.A. The intern is rescued by a retired stuntman who is also a conservative who loathes the producer who stole the affections of the stuntman's fiance and got her hooked on drugs. They go after the producer after they learn that he has signed a deal to turn the intern's screenplay into a major movie. They are assisted by other disaffected interns and movie industry people that the producer has "crapped on"...

Well, the movie does have Debbie Reynolds in it (who, I must say, looks a lot better than her daughter, Carrie Fisher). And I remember Jason O'Mara as the scary and creepy "Billy Croelick" from two episodes of "The Closer". Have to say that I prefer Ms. Heigl as a blonde. Is that sexist? Oh well - I guess I can forget being her date at the next Hollywood awards show.

"The truth is black-led films sometimes struggle to make money overseas, one reason why Hollywood is uneasy about such projects." Overseas? Like in in Europe - where Fascism, Communism, colonialism, and rabid nationalism (think the French Revolution which gave rise to the proto-fascist Napoleonic empire) were created? But - the Eurosocialists are supposed to so much more enlightened than us bumptious, knuckle-dragging Americans (even if a lot of them are "whiter" than Mitt Romney)...

If you mean "edgy" as in "cranky and ill-tempered from too much caffeine and not enough sleep", yeah - she is that. As for "funny", I don't remember, either.
