What can I say about Mr. Haggis (besides the fact that “Crash” was overwrought, overrated gibberish)? Depends on what kind of profanity filter we’ve got installed here.

As much as it is possible to go for the jugular in a political argument, I believe that attacking moonbats on this issue is the way to go. The fantasy of CIA agents acting like torturers from the Spanish Inquisition is a linchpin of the moonbat worldview. (The choice of the analogy of the Spanish Inquisition is deliberate, as a Western evil is required for the other half of the analogy in moobatistan. The muslims of course were far more into torture than Western culture was.) You have greatest chance of ultimately corroding their worldview if you attack them here. Of course, if they have gone too far down the path of trutherism, there is no hope.

SouthernDem,With some of the media on the left,Bill Maher,
I see something a bit different,I think this is some of the
lefts strategy to discredit these truthers to make the
illusion that the DNC isn’t that crazy,don’t forget the timing of the elections are coming up.

Mark my words,after the election,especially when the Liberals lose,the left will suck right back up to these
extremist truthers.

It ain’t gonna happen.

Actors I don’t like because they’re stupid enough to boast in their selfrighteous way about having superior politics than I, movies whose themes I don’t like or whose treatment I don’t disapprove of, and directors who I don’t like, for whatever reason, don’t get their percentage of MY dime, because *moi* won’t spend any money on the movie.

The ONLY power a consumer has is to WITHDRAW CONSENT TO PURCHASE, and take that money elsewhere. They (and their parasitic lifestyle) need us far more than we need them.

This post is suitable for framing.

“WSJ: Anti-war films probably gonna tank at the box office this fall”. Geez, I thought Hollywood ran its reruns in the summer, not the fall. Fortunately, a much more honorable fate awaits the celluloid used in these movies…….

I may even combine the two.

Perhaps all of these Palestinian-loving actors would like to go live in the heart of Palestine for a year under Sharia.

We aren’t the target audience, the anti-american world is.
Even if they can’t find huge seditious audiences in America, they will continue to make these films.

The statement made by Premiere Nikita Khrushchev of the former Communist Soviet Socialist Republic that: “We will destroy you from within!” is coming to pass.

Those two statements may be true. Except for one thing. We are talking about movies and they are just movies. That’s one of the many problems with Hollywood. They’ve forgotten that they are the entertainment industry. When push comes to shove regarding money and finances, frivolous entertainment goes first.
Anti American entertainment is certainly popular “overseas”, but when push comes to shove, those countries know the very first people they go to when they have problems. Because despite Americans being portrayed as psychotic murderers only interested in money, everyone knows that the real-life Americans are not any of that. It must be nice to portray people as evil cartoon characters, even when it’s simply not that easy.

“We will destroy you from within!” is coming to pass.

True, but we have model of that socialist paradise USSR to look at. For that reason, I expect the resistance to be FIERCE!! Not to mention, I have two kids. Talk about motivation. All else pales.

We aren’t the target audience, the anti-american world is.

It’s kind of sad that none seem to be forthcoming.

It’s more than just kind of sad that Hollyweird is so caught up in the far left’s self-loathing. It’s almost like there’s an ‘entertainment-academic-bureaucratic’ complex that enforces bad ideas and weeds out the good ones.

Kind of like any intellectually inbred environment.

Some executives say they wonder if moviegoers confronted with grim realities made-up stuff on the nightly news will want to see fictionalized even more fictionalized versions of them as entertainment.

There, fixed it.

You forgot the ‘Ben Affleck Rule’. That is, any movie with Ben Affleck in it, is going to suck. The amount of suckage will vary depending on how often you have to look at him, and how many lines he will deliver poorly.

I actually forgot it was him in that movie. You’re completely right. Did he just become a movie star based on the media hype? It’s a terrible comment on Hollywood that people are more famous for being famous than being actual good actors.

Whatever you want to say about Russell Crowe’s phone throwing and him being a complete jerk (from what I hear), he is an exceptional actor.

“The Sum of All Fears” from Palestinian Terrorists to Neo Nazis. And the movie sucked.

You forgot the ‘Ben Affleck Rule’. That is, any movie with Ben Affleck in it, is going to suck. The amount of suckage will vary depending on how often you have to look at him, and how many lines he will deliver poorly. Ben needs to go back to the things he does well, swill booze and chase strippers.
Seriously, I also had some tentative interest in ‘The Kingdom’. The politics weren’t immediately apparent in the trailer. It might be good. Guess we’ll see.

Producing repellent cinematic con (or is that in?) fections of anti-American seppuku.

And the Moral Equivalence poured on thicker than the popcorn butter.

Do all of these movie development meetings start off with:

Let’s produce one more excursion into distorted, self-crippling idiocy, right in the middle of fighting a war for our survial against a ruthless global group of fanatical ideological killers, why don’t we?

Doing the enemy’s costly propaganda work for them.

As the unconscious AV Department of Al-Qaeda.
