And then..There could be recurring
skits of those two sphincter
lipped cootie boys, Kieth Olbermann
and Jon "I'm such a smart ass
buttmuncher" Stewart, with their
little smirky ass, proudly wave
their pucker pinched lips all around
in front of the cameras, to show
everybody how much they like their
lips looking like waiting orifices
to be filled...

From what I have read so far, he was TRULY a great American hero.
I was touched reading his brave acts, and self sacrifice, America needs more like him.
My nephew was in Iraq last year and early this year, and he was in the battle of Fallujah, and THANKS TO GOD through the prayers of my family, church, and other freepers, God brought him back alive and ok, and he is doing well now.
To all of the freepers who prayed for my nephew, I give you all of my heart felt thanks, and may GOD BLESS YOU.

The average R movie loses $6.9 million, the study showed; the average PG movie made nearly $30 million; the typical G movie made over $70 million.

Bump!

Clancy was supposedly livid at the end-product of SoAF. He stated that he would never again give up creative control of a film adaptation of his books. Personally, I wondered what he thought would happen when he gave up control.

I have not seen Million Dollar Baby. I will not see Million Dollar Baby. I will not subsidize Million Dollar Baby. I do not need moral guidance on "life issues" from Clint Eastwood, whatever his virtues as producer, director and actor.

I admire his choice in Smith & Wesson .45 Magnums but he is not a paragon of personal morality as attested by his long-time live in, Sondra Locke, who complained bitterly and publicly, when Clint traded her in for a new model live-in, of the multiple abortions she was pressed by Eastwood to undergo as a condition of their "relationship." Eastwood's Republicanism was a matter of libertarian resentment of coastal commies interfering in Carmel with his plans for the Hog's Breath Inn.

I am familiar with Kuosawa, Shakespeare (within limits) and Homer but I confess to having difficulty seeing the comparison. As I understand it, the Million Dollar Baby is a female prize fighter conveniently done away with when, gravely injured in the ring, she is no longer a promising mealticket. Whatever tears and flapdoodle may have been added to comfort those who need a pragmatism over morality fix, Million Dollar Baby sounds like a waste of time and money and received Academy awards accordingly from the cultureCong of Hollywood. Thanks, but no thanks.

The Godfather triklogy is great. I hope they make another while Andy Garcia is young enough. I (and mu children) could have enjoyed the movie more without Sonny Corleone and Lucy Mancini aggressively conceiving Vincent Mancini against a door at the Corleone manse on Connie's wedding day, without the scene in the second movie of the addled senatir sitting on the cathouse bed with the prostitute he has massacred and without Kay's murder in utero of her and Michael's second son because "All this must come to an end!!!!!!!", among other scenes.

We did not need the nude-breasted prostitute sitting oin the jockey's bed scene to "enhance" an otherwise great kids' movie like Seabiscuit. It had nothing whatever to do with the plot. Was it the mandatory minimum adult nudity quota for the movie or merely an assault on kids wanting to see a movie with a moral message about horses, races and underdog triumph?

Suffice it to say that the evaporation of the profits that subsidize this tripe will be the only real threat to your enjoyment of "morally complex" movies about "unresolved issues" of human depravity. Take heart. There are decades of similar tripe on DVD and VCR from the accumulated body of Hollyweird corruption. If I do not wish to patronize this stuff, if an increasing number (including now aging boomers) of former theatergoers are saying "Enough is more than enough," what is the alternative? Taxing us to subsidize the "art" which we have come to despise?????

Why frequent such bilge as Million Dollar Baby???? What unresolved moral conflicts? Suicide is wrong. Euthanasia is wrong. I don't think much of the morality, if any, of female boxing exhibitions catering to a certain prurient interest in our neo-pagans of Hollywood and in the theater seats. Speculation ought not to replace reason.

Parables were a literary art form by which Jesus Christ instructed his listeners and readers as to how they ought to live. Parables are, well, stories. Do you think that J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis were simply speculating, challenging, playing with the rules, and providing catharsis? I don't think so and neither did they, if you are familiar with their lives.

Heavy handed moral messages???? From Hollywierd???? How about heavy-handed antimoral attitudes????

To say nothing of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, so utterly successful, so totally despised by the usual gang of Hollyweird suspects. Good for Mel who understands morality and, however imperfectly, practices it, even in his art, as Eastwood does not.

Clint Eastwood: great actor, director, producer, but an horrendously flawed human being.

[Tax-chick]

Wow. I like Andy Garcia, too.

[BlackElk]

Gee, four minutes from post to your response!!!! I want you on my team for the next and every war! God bless you and yours!

[Tax-chick]

Same to you! I was just on my way to nap, but it was worth putting off (for just a few minutes, though) to read one of your fun posts :-).

Good bye Hollywood.

Hello Heartland.

[TASMANIANRED]

You said it better than I.

Had a discussion with my Husband regarding "Street Car named Desire", "God's Little Acre" "Who is Afraid of Virginia Wolf"

I don't care how brilliantly they were acted, I don't care about the characterization or the interpretation.

To me, they are like watching an episode of Jerry Springer.

Why would I give up 90 minutes of my life to be a voyeur to people I wouldn't want to know in real life.

[TASMANIANRED]

Thank him for his service from me.
