H'wood tried to recoup by making the new 9/11 movie, but just couldn't resist letting Fidel suckup Oliver Stone direct it. After his mega homobomb, Alexander, OS needs a hit.
I did have an open mind about this movie until I read a few reviews that pointed out the fact that OBL or Muslims or terrorists are just three subjects never once mentioned in the entire movie. As far as I can tell from these reviews, this is a rehash of that Towering Inferno movie, only without so many stars.

H'wood movies can jam it. I'm done with them. Walking a very thin line in this house is network TV. I am only waiting until the LO:SVU show runs out of gruesome sexual perversions happening to small children of both sexes. I want to see the episode that is so sick, so twisted, so blatantly Leftie Nanny State PC BS that I actually puke on my shoes. Then I'll be done with TV. I do watch Boston Legal, but I view it as a comedic rendering of David E. Kelly's mental illness.

TiVo is my new best friend. I've taped some of those truly great old movies and shared them with my daughter and her friends who are quite surprised at how beautiful and charming the actresses of that time were...Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, and even Shirley McLaine. Shirl's nuttier than a fruitcake, but nobody ever knew it. That era had polish and class. The filth was well hidden and it was good for all of us. Now they put the contents of a toilet bowl up on a megaplex screen and young people worship the new golden calf.
Sad for the kids these days.

I love watching Golden Age movies. Hollyweird has made a few things worth watching since the mid-Sixties, but not much. And they keep getting less creative, if that's possible. Pretty soon all that will be showing is MI45, Spiderman 64 and Batman Begins, Flies, Ends, Begins Again, Flies Again, Ends Again . . . .
