Big Hollywood : 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' Review: Irresistible Must-see

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:32:56 +0000

Sorry to butt in, but Gosling in "Fracture" is a revelation. He might be as bad as you say in other movies; I haven't seen them. But he and Hopkins are hypnotic.

Yes, it had clever writing and strong, consistent characters. The pacing was good (though my wife and I would have loved seeing more of the Gosling/Stone relationship). But Carrell just played the 40-yr-old Dan in Real Dinner for Sunshine Schmucks guy, and the opening & closing scenes were unnecessary (not because I'm a know-it-all, but because they're patently offensive). We would purchase the DVD, but those two scenes and the now apparently obligatory "F" shouted in the middle will keep it out of our home. (And yes, sometimes it does suck to be prudes like us!)

There's a whole collector's set of one-named artists* who should be invited: Krugman, Dowd, Soros, Redford, Geithner, Moore, Emmanuel, Couric, Maddow.... *Though rather than Music these folks express themselves through things like Fiction, Misdirection, Whining... but wouldn't we love to see them hungry and quiet? Even for a day? Please?

Big Hollywood : Movement to Move 'Red Eye' to Earlier Time Slot Picks Up Steam

I can only imagine what Gutfeld would do with a line like "tone down his bits." No more conservative knives in this liberal-initiated (and -dominated) gunfight, folks.... Time to Greg-a-logue-'em! RELEASE THE HOUNDS!

Big Hollywood : Sign the Petition: Move 'Red Eye W/Greg Gutfeld' to Fox News' Primetime

Wed, 6 Apr 2011 23:59:30 +0000

I don't want to sign -- and not because I don't love "Red Eye," but because I do. Can't we stretch the fun out a little longer? I love the thought of G. Soros and his minions (oh, you KNOW he's got minions!) dozing off around midnight, then Gutfeld playing bad fairy all over their truthiness, then George and his Sorosians spewing their mimosas at breakfast the next day because real people are shining lights in their dark corners. (Note: I would, however, love to see what GG would do to the prime-time dolts who think they've got pop culture nailed.... 'Twould be a joy to behold....)

Big Hollywood : 'Waiting for Superman' Director Feeling Heat from Teachers Unions

Your opening statement is insane. Behold the facts: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/07/us-falls... Once your own child goes through the system and gets only the bare minimum of what should pass for education, you realize the system is genuinely flawed. "So are you interested in education or only in racial leveling?" Race is a non-issue in this case, so you've totally missed the mark with that pseudo-incisive commentary. Stick to issues and facts: U.S. education IS under-performing, and the primary focus for its failure has to be, by definition, its educators.

A recent episode showed 13-yr-olds deciding NOT to kiss.... What the what? Can they do that?

Sad irony: This very forum will make nearsighted libs demand that it be shut down because of its dangerous truths -- yet the blatant falsehoods of the print media* shall be encouraged to march on.... *Is it time to inform them they're killing trees? Don't we get to toss that one back at 'em?

Big Hollywood : MOVIE REVIEW: 'The Lottery' Exposes Truth About Public Schools

Fri, 9 Jul 2010 16:19:26 +0000

Wrong with America: It takes winning a lottery to be allowed to participate in a superior education opportunity. Right with America: Bold souls will plan, work, scheme and fight for their children's rights, and — however slowly — more and more opportunities become available every year. Because of our kids' ages our family wouldn't directly benefit from school vouchers and the like, but my wife and I would be honored to have our taxes go toward legitimate school choice.

Big Government : Feds Tell Seniors They Can't Pray Before Meals

Is it a lie? Our evidence is the news story ("aren't allowed to pray," link above) that reported the facts, so maybe we're not stupid. But hang in there! Keep denouncing others' observations, and once in a while you may be right! Just not this time....

Big Hollywood : Breitbart CBN Interview: 'The Cold War is now a New Media war'

By "doctored," do you mean "posted"? Yep, that's him. The same guy who opened up new media for facts that otherwise disappear in the hands of commentators like Leg-Tingler C. Matthews, Rabid Reader K. Olbermann, and K. Couric, our National Elf (thx, gutfeld!). The doctoring ones to whom you refer are yer own M. Moores, O. Stones, D. Rathers, et al. Thanks for playing! Better luck next time....

Big Hollywood : REVIEW: 'City Island' a Timeless Heartfelt Gem

Mr. García is a treat to watch in any role (even cheesed out in "Ocean's 13"). The fact that he appears grounded and unimpressed with himself is a bonus -- particularly when contrasted with colleagues (won't call 'em "peers") like Clooney, Penn, Roberts, et al. Andrés, cuando quieras un plátano frito, avísame....

Big Hollywood : Don't Miss the Point and Don't Miss Out

J-Phil! (Whoops, are we not doing that anymore? Dang...) It's too bad we have to celebrate someone's taking a positive stand for fatherhood and relationships. My wife and I are blessed with two teenage boys (yes, I said "blessed"!), and while they stumble regularly on their respective courts, fields and mats (wrestling), they know their parents love them, and that their athletic endeavors are nothing more than diversions -- worthwhile, certainly -- along the path to what really matters: religion, education, music, relationships. Sounds like you're blessed with good kids -- and your boys are blessed with good parents. Continue the rocking!

Spot-on piece, Mr. Phillips. Open forum moment! How 'bout any time we can use a the left's clichés against them, we get LTR ("liberal tripe reversal") points? For example: Posters are <LCR>intellectually dishonest</lcr> when they use "government" interchangeably with "people." To wit, government didn't prevent a redefinition of marriage; the people voted on it. (1 pt.) In fact, it's been said, <LTR>"We won, you lost; get over it."</ltr> (1 pt.) Anyone?
