Once upon a time it was 28 years (or so) from point of creation with one extension.

Disney's never going to give up Mickey Mouse. Or sound films.

Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe are all public domain. I haven't seen works come along since then that topped their output.

A big part of the problem is that the public face of conservatism is the GOP. Since Reagan, there has not been a conservative political figure on the national scene that has been capable of saying why he believes what he believes. It’s just a grab bag of policy positions: pro life, anti gay “marriage”, pro military, pro business, etc ... You can’t tell a story if you don’t know why you think what you think (and even that’s probably assuming way too much). The “vision thing” is sorely lacking.

didn’t a lesbian show up in the first ep?

It did, but it wasn't obtrusive - a brief mention of a female sailor "seeing Paris with her girlfriend" - and that was it.

It could easily have been a girl that was her friend, as well. Sad that culture dictates we need to read so much into simple statements.

FWIW, I caught the first couple of episodes. Said, "Meh.". It's nothing remarkable. Long on FX, short on plot, dialogue, character development, and about everything else.

A simple statement written by Hollywood which has a real agenda.

Exactly. 20 years ago it would have been a throwaway line that wouldn't have provoked a single comment or purient thought. Now, I've heard you and a number of other FReepers mention it.

Ehat the liberal agenda has driven good men to, saddens me.

It was probably meant to be a lesbian remark in the show.

“What the liberal agenda....” Dunno what an “Ehat” is. :-)

Opening weekend

Rambo 4, $18,203,876

Rendition, $4,060,012

Lions for Lambs, $6,702,434

Syriana, $11,737,143

Green Zone, $14,309,295

The unapologetic kick ass Rambo movie beats the star power of the series of anti-Bush, anti-American films.
