I don't know anything about this movie but based on the review it must be pushing the queer agenda stongly.
Kelly at the Star-Telegram always pushes the gay agenda and has a sideline hobby of reviewing gay porn movies on the internet. I think I'll pass judgment on Shrek II until I see the movie or at least get a wider range of reviews.
Adding overt gay propaganda to the scatological bent of the original? Sounds like another "must miss" film.
I'd like to see this critic attempt a similar pompous pronouncement if Shrek 2 had been about two gay orges.
No surprise here, given the roles he has played in the past.
Actually, the movie isn't pushing a gay agenda. The review is trying to hijack a movie to promote a gay agenda he would LIKE the movie to be promoting. Its somewhat akin to when gay groups go back in time and label every famous person is history as being secretly taking it in the *ss. Its revisionist history, but its not true just because they say it is.
orges = ogres (I must have been thinking "orgies")
Another movie I won't see.
And all he showed is his ignorance!
"Not that there's anything wrong with that."
is the biggest, longest running joke on Seinfeld. If he wasn't so blinded by his own agenda, he'd see that it's a throw to that show, not President Bush.
"Co-director/co-screenwriter Andrew Adamson, in an article in the Los Angeles Times, has already 'fessed up to the movie's central metaphor, but you don't need a road map to see what Shrek 2 is getting at. Not when one of the characters, just after expressing distaste at the notion of two ogres in love, hastens to add, "Not that there's anything wrong with that." In this year when a certain head of state seeks to write an exclusionary definition of "marriage" into the U.S. Constitution, Shrek 2 contends otherwise: No one has the right to tell you whom you can love; those who preach the loudest about the right way to live are often the biggest hypocrites. This is a movie that is ogre and proud. "
this would make sense if it was 2 ogres of the same sex, this is someone trying to hijack a quote/theme.
That dude needs to get a life.
Hey, it's a male ogre marrying a female ogre. Now, the donkey had something going with that female dragon, but they're weren't trying to get married.
Exactly.
How desperate do you have to be with your own self worth if you're reduced to using a silly movie to push your agenda.
Errrrrr, how is this a Bush bashing? Am I missing something?
bump
It was a reference to "Seinfeld"...not Bush. Kelly's a moron.
Ping
The title of this thread was very poorly chosen. The only one bashing Bush is the damn reviewer. The ogres in question in Shrek are opposite sex.
I doubt there's any gayness in the film.
Sometimes, FReepers jump way off the deep end. Not everything is about Bush, our politics, etc.
