THEY aren’t ‘FOR’ anything - but tearing down.

Your point is a correct one but I will twist it to make another.

They are FOR total control so they won't have to fool with tearing down the opposition, as feeble as it might be. They will just do as they please.

Film idea. How about an 80-year-old obama, sitting in a chair in a cheap room in Chicago with his gay partner, looking back on his term as prez?

He could one by one lament all the choices he made because they all turned out terribly for the people. But then he would smile and say, “But that’s what I wanted!”

The film would end when muzzlems come in the room and behead him since they think he is a Christian.

Eh, I had good reading material. My views have changed quite a bit since I was 18, what pissed me off is how much I had been lied to which I discovered in my first year of university.

‘Cept Julia Child and hubby were leftists. Hence the “sensitive” portrayal. The character of Julie is a moonbat lib blogger, btw.

They have sunk an awful lot of money into anti-US Iraq War films that no one has gone to see. It’s not just money; it is also ideology.

My last movie was a knockabout comedy with Larry the Cable Guy called Witless Protection. The Fixer is my film about the underbelly of Chicago politics. Jon Voight is in that one.

Very cool. I see that you cast Yaphet Kotto as Alonzo Moseley! Brilliant. Midnight Run is one of my favorite movies! (Plus he accepted my FB friend request.)

Gary Graham, Andy Garcia and Luke Wilson are all “out” conservatives.

Apocalypto? I dd not see that. Actually most people didn’t. They said it was no where near as good as the passion.

I have seen it (actually have a copy). No true basis for comparing the two, in my opinion. Was it as "good" as "The Passion"? Depends, as they were two different movies, with two disparate main thrusts.

One has to recognize that fact, before one views "Apocalypto", or get drawn into a false dichotomy. The two movies aren't really related to one another, except in one aspect, that they were done in obscure languages, tackling subjects that Hollywood lacks the courage to to tackle, although the subjects themselves were completely different...

John Adams on HBO was highly acclaimed by just about everyone. What didn’t you like?
