Go ahead and call me a conspiracy theorist...I want a thorough autopsy on Mr. Breitbart. And I mean THOROUGH!

Since pacifists have more freedom of action in countries where traces of democracy survive, pacifism can act more effectively against democracy than for it. Objectively the pacifist is pro-Nazi. - George Orwell

Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay...and claims a halo for his dishonesty. - Robert A. Heinlein

"Also, I'd rather a bunch of Conservatives launch our own entertainment network to help de-fang the Democrats." They did...it's called RIGHT NETWORK... http://rightnetwork.com/ ...and, sadly, its ratings aren't very impressive. We need to support them.

Big Hollywood : How 'Act of Valor' Broke Through to the Mainstream

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 07:38:40 +0000

You remind me of a guy I knew who claimed that the movie "Backdraft" (1991, directed by Ron Howard) was a positive portrayal of firefighters... ...despite the fact that one of the main characters was a pig-headed, reckless fire chief whose renegade actions resulted in a rookie firefighter becoming critically burned... ...a second main character who was a flaky, gutless slacker who can't get his act together until his older brother (the reckless fire chief) is killed, thanks to... ...a third main character who, it turns out, is a cold-blooded murderer who uses his firefighting expertise to kill a bunch of bureaucrats who were cutting the city firefighters' budget. "Backdraft" grossed $75 million domestic and garnered heaps of critical acclaim and even a couple of Academy Award nominations....which means nothing to me. Boffo box office & "thumbs up" from critics does not equal a positive portrayal of firefighters in this case. I don't give a runny bowel movement how successful or critically acclaimed "Hurt Locker" may have been. Nor do I care how "dramatic" or "nuanced" the character or the plot may have been. The issue is whether or not the depiction of the EOD character in "Hurt Locker" was a positive portrayal....and it wasn't. Waving big box office money or favorable movie reviews under my nose doesn't change that.

Re: The Hurt Locker We didn't forget about it...we just don't agree with your assessment. " It had a very positive look at EOD Soldiers..." Portraying EOD Soldiers as reckless, emotionally damaged narcissists each with their own death wish is hardly what I would call a "very positive" portrayal. ---------------- "...and was a critical and commercial smash" The Hurt Locker was lavishly praised by the same crowd who made a collective "o"-face for movies like Redacted and Rendition. And just because it made more money than most of the other anti-war crap films... (17 million dollars domestic Box Office? Wow.) ...means it was only the most successful of all those anti-war failures.

Ever since I first saw his memorable performance as the bizarro burnout Lazlo Hollyfeld in "Real Genius"...which starred Val Kilmer, by the way...I always wondered how Jon Gries would fare in a starring role. Sounds like he's going to acquit himself nicely. Hopefully, Mr. Gries will join the likes of Paul Giamatti, William H. Macy, and Philip Seymour Hoffman as a truly talented leading man who can (and will) headline movies based on his performing skills rather than any metrosexual, pretty-boy looks.

Big Journalism : Keith Olbermann Now DENIES He Denied Occupy Rapes Happened

As long as conservatives are (finally!) standing up and speaking out against the egregious leftist progressive agenda being promoted by the Mainstream Media, among others....Olberdouche' is our deranged, mentally-ill leftist dream come true. Keep up the great work, Breitbart! The more you shine the spotlight on losers like Keith, the more shameful and pathetic they appear.

Admittedly, I have no actual proof to substantiate this claim, but... ... according to an acquaintance who spent a few years as a Hollywood insider, the decent, stable Beatty/Benning marriage was whispered to be a marriage of carnal convenience as well: Benning allegedly had/has bisexual tendencies...and Beatty had/has acquired a fondness for "FFM" threesomes. And apparently, their "plus-one dalliances" were both frequent and ever-present in their household...even, perhaps, in front of their daughter? Again, no proof to any of this...but I have no reason to call my friend a liar.

Does anybody else see the gall of a left-wing "it takes a village to raise a child" progressive getting on their high-horse & reminding us of our views about personal responsibility? Interesting how concepts like "collectivism" and "community" get tossed out the window when we see (yet again) how their Utopian social construct fails (yet again).

Just smile and back away slowly, Badda...when they display this level of incoherent progressive babble, it's better to avoid trying to understand them. And don't make eye contact or wave any shiny objects around them: they'll fly into a rage and come at you, all fists and elbows...

No...this movie is light-hearted fun. However, the movie "Lincoln" by John Logan, Paul Webb, and Steven Spielberg...to be released this December (maybe)...looks poised to provide all the revisionist history you're fearing.

Big Hollywood : SyFy's 'Being Human' One of the Best Conservative Shows on TV

I'm reminded of the old tale: A man, walking down the street, sees another man pointing to the sky and shouting "You are a cruel and terrible G-d...you are a mean and selfish G-d...I hate you, G-d! I hate you with every fibre of my being!" The first man says to the second man "Sir, I'm not a religious person...in fact I'm pretty much an atheist...but you shouldn't be saying such things". And the second man says to the first man "Hey....at least I still believe He exists..."
