A.O. Scott - before joining The New York Times, Scott served as book critic for Newsday, and also as a contributor for the The New York Review of Books and Slate magazine.

As I’ve stated on another thread about this movie, Damon may be alive and well, but he and this movie are dead to me. I’ll not watch, rent, or buy anything that he appears in. Ever.

There used to be a class of men who crept about on their hands and knees in darkened movie theaters sniffing women's shoes.
In my book A.O. Scott falls into the same class of man. Passions unclean beat in his heart. What loathing of his fellow countrymen to produce such tripe.

Maybe this is why the movie had a whopping 5 million dollar opener. If the NYTimes recommends it, you can bet it’s anti-American crapola.

AO Scott looks like a sad parasite.

Why isn’t he in Government?

Wow. I suspected as much.

I’ve hardly been to the movies in years now. I used to go quite regularly, but not in almost a decade now. There is a growing list of actors who I simply can’t abide, I can’t sit and watch them in anything. Its not so much a boycott as the fact that I simply can’t sit and look at them.

And there is a second problem that movie actors have especially since 911 and the military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many many families have sons, uncles, dads, grandkids serving in the military, serving in combat. When you know what a real marine looks like, when you know what a real soldier looks like, and acts like, its hard to take these Hollywood girlie men seriously as heros.

In another era actors left Hollywood to go and serve in combat, or at the very least behind the lines in some capacity but many actually served in actual combat. These actors went on to be beloved figures right to the end of their lives and whats more they were believable in whatever role they played because behind the role was a real human being with real life lived and it showed in their work.

I hope libtard movie critics continue to hail it and give it thumbs up....its like having Jack Squat endorse you as a candidate...it = the kiss of death, especially since the movie flopped at its opening....

from the NYSlimes movie critic, in the article:

“it has the rough authority of novelistic truth”

“Novelistic” TRUTH - a fictional invention if I ever heard of one.

Hollywood’s producers, directors, and actors love sedition and treason. Maybe, just maybe, the American public is stopping its support of such nonsense.

My wife watched Jud Süß (Jew Süss) which is a 1940 nazi propaganda film produced by Terra Filmkunst over the weekend.

I didn't want to see it. But she commented how American propaganda films such as this Green Zone have made Joseph Goebbels and his boys seem like pikers by comparison.
