Ping!
‘The Kingdom’ was antiwar? I remember some Freepers raving about it.
I don’t think Bella will do very well - it should go on the IFC.
I haven’t been to a movie for years and hope this one plays in my community. I’ll check the link to see if there is any info on that. It said 165, so maybe it has already played here.
Hollywood is all about money, but ideology is extremely important. If financial sacrifices on the part of the investors and shareholders must be made to protect the orthodoxy from ideological deviationism and subversion of the equalitarian and inclusive notions that Hollywood loves so dearly, then so be it. They are only benighted investors and shareholders anyway, and not the educated, insightful elite. So they deserve to lose out on higher returns on their investments.(/sarcasm)
Let’s try to keep up the momentum with this movie.
Going to see it this weekend- the first time I’ve been to the movies since “Vanilla Sky”, the worst movie I’ve ever seen. I’ve had high school students construct better plots.
because of the end of the movie
It was a terrible remake of a modest Spanish film called ‘Open Your Eyes’.
The 1st Amendment is not a suicide pact. ‘Rendition’, ‘Elah’, and all others of their ilk should be shut down, and anyone responsible for them should be arrested and tried for sedition.
Careful what you wish for.
...”but ideology is extremely important.”
Understatement of the century (just kidding).
Think of it in these terms for the Hollywood mind:
“If it gets me high or give me an orgasm, then that’s my motivation.”
In the end, it morally equated terrorists with FBI agents.
That’s exactly what would have happened if such defeatist enemy propaganda was made during WW2 or Korea. I guess only ‘Rat presidents had the authority to quash such trash.
Who decides what’s ‘defeatist’? What qualifies as defeatist? A melancholy tone? An unhappy ending? I don’t want goverment with that power.
It’s the Fall of the Hollywood Traitor movies.
The first sentence was written in the style of a Stalinist speech. Think of the diversity and depth of Hollywood political thought. The second was written in the supremely arrogant style that many ignorant Hollywood lefties adopt once they really get going blathering. Think Tom Cruise and the like.
Oh come on Vanilla Sky wasn’t all that bad. I thought the ending was hilarious TECH SUPPORT!!
Tom Cruise makes political speeches? the only he talks about publically is his Scientology bilge.
