Orlando Bloom, Liam Neeson and Jeremy Irons

And I will lay money down that all three of them will be bitching about "Bush's War For Oil".....

I hate Hollywood.

I really don't think that most in the movie audiences are catching on to these liberal messages. They go to a movie to see the story, action, a particular star...not to get their politics. Some that have been seen as political are fairly subtle too, esp. when they place them in such long-ago historical timeframes.

That's a pretty long leap to make. If some computer programmer says the same thing would you say 'I hate IT'?

The Western crusaders are too often dismissed as bloodthirsty and rapacious

Weren't they?

I wish we could ask the thousands of Jews were burned alive in their synagogues rather then convert to Christianity.

Yes, but they were bloodthirsty and rapacious on our side -- not at all like the bloodthirsty and rapacious Moslems.

If that was "Christianity," Fahrenheit 911 is a documentary.

These morons are propagandists for Al Qaeda and like-minded terrorists. Make the "crusaders" out to be the villains of history (they were not) and let it seem like Muslims then and now are merely concerned to keep evil "crusaders" out of their lands. Let's just forget that it was ISLAM that violently overran much of the known world from 800 to 1600 AD and that the nasty crusaders were merely trying to salvage the Christian holy lands from the Islamic onslaught.

ok so it's a review....

I will probably still see it in the theatre and then we will see what I think...

movies with supposed Liberal messages don't really seem to affect anything.

On your side. Not on mine.

Orlando Bloom, on the set of "Lord of the Rings", was bashing my mission in Iraq.

Liam Neeson has made similar statements in entertainment mags.

I figure that Irons is in that camp as well.

Yours is the statement that made no sense.

According to the (Catholic Encyclopedia Crusades are) : Expeditions undertaken, in fulfilment of a solemn vow, to deliver the Holy Places from Mohammedan tyranny.

Indeed many of them were. You don't kill the entire Muslim and Jewish population of Jerusalem after you capture it, and in a later crusade destroy, plunder, and rape your way through (Orthodox Christian) Constantinope without being bloodthirsty and rapacious.

Bloom is a memeber of a non-Christian cult.

Neeson made his contempt for orthodox Christianity very clear in his interviews leading up to the release of Kinsey.

Well, duh. The Western Crusaders of 1205 were indeed as bloodthirsty and rapacious as the Wahabists of 2005. The difference is, obviously, that Western Civilization (mostly) got over it.

Misleading Headline Alert

There is nothing about Orlando Bloom in the text. Why am that?

So from their statements you go to the tired 'I hate Hollywood' mantra? That's what I was talking about. Especially considering those three are not Americans.
