You don’t appreciate stereotypical humor?

Lighten up, old fella!

It’s just as funny when Chris Rock makes fun of crackas!

Maybe next time, Bay can include a Britney robot who goes back in time and gets disassembled by global-warming activists, or something.

Looks like AP’s robot fetish is rubbing off on Ed a bit, lol.

There is a direct criticism of Obama and his policies within the movie which is central to the plot. And they actually use Obama’s name, which is a little unusual.

Also, this is just a tremendously great movie, one of the best ever made. Don’t miss it.

So after living through Obama’s daily bedcrap, who really cares about this?

At least Britney is smart enough to be a Republican, now tell me how stupid the rest of Hollywood must be.

Ah… yeah… good point. I’d probably rather have a Spears Republican over a MeggyMacker.

They did use Barack’s foreign policy of appeasement at one point. That made me grin.

I’d even tune in a couple times for that.

I suppose Tow Mater should be called out for being racist against white people now?

I heard that some feminists complained about Finding Nemo because the two female characters were a nitwit and an evil brat. LOL

Buster wrote physical comedy for Abbott and Costello, the Marx Bros, and The Three Stooges.

Barry on Rushmore? Not until Buster makes it there.

I just couldn’t picture Carrey and Keaton together in any thing. I love the old comedians, from W.C. to Groucho and then Benny and Burns to Burnette and Winters. I just watched both “It’s a Mad Mad Mad World” and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” for the umpteenth time .They both beat anything Carrey has done.

Your desperate need to be the contrarian is often amusing. But sometimes it’s just desperate and weird.

Just for grins, why is this “given”?

I don’t have a desperate need to be a contrarian. Picture this: there are lots of people out there who don’t agree with you on everything. Get over yourself.

It’s a given because she’s an adult that’s somehow managed a career resurrection after a number of considerable speedbumps.

Given that Britney Spears isn’t completely retarded, and could potentially have done her homework …

Or the thought of some tribunal somewhere deciding whether casting decisions are “ethical” or not.

All I know is that I treat them both exactly the same way: ignore them and hope they eventually shut up and go away.

Meanwhile this is ABC.

And we are supposed to take Hollyweird, MTV, and the MSM seriously?

I’d rather patrol for dog business.

Given that Britney Spears isn’t completely retarded, and could potentially have done her homework while getting this script together, why does her celebrity status somehow eliminate her legitimacy to make a script regarding the holocaust? It doesn’t sound like she’s mocking or deriding what happened to the Jews.

MadisonConservative on June 27, 2009 at 5:33 PM

In my opinion, there are some people in the celebrity world whose social status has become more important than whatever entertainment contributions they have made. Britney is one of those people, and it causes whatever project she attaches herself to to have less credibility. It’s not an issue of her being disrespectful to Jews, her making the project in itself is just a little hinky.

When my kids were young and would watch a Jim Carrey, they would watch me and wonder aloud how I couldn’t think he was funny. What can I say, I don’t think he’s funny.

Yeah… I made the mistake of watching Borat. I will not waste money even renting Bruno. Cohen is not funny. He runs around embarrassing people and calls it “humor.” I hope for Epic Fail… Any predictions?

Upstater85 on June 27, 2009 at 5:40 PM

I agree. He just isn’t funny, and goes to great lengths to make others look stupid, or does something stupid himself. He just reeks of attention whore. I can imagine he wore his mother out with…mom look! Look at me mom! Mom, are you watching? Watch me! Watch me mom!!!!

Jim Carrey couldn’t hold Buster Keaton’s gird for his loins.

Not in those terms but here’s the thing.

Movies are irrelevant other than for entertainment.

You don’t go to the movie theater to see the newsreels to see what is going on in the world. Television filled the bill for years but cable news is on a 24/7 cycle. You don’t even have to go to the movies for entertainment. All the programming on cable gives more choice than was ever possible in the “dark ages” of three channels (with a few lame UHF choices).

In short the dynamic has shifted and I think even the local movie theater is a dying institution. Why drive to the local mega-plex when you can watch from home with all the clarity and sound you’d get from the theater?
