Kinsey & Ebert, At the Movies

Meet America's "Pseudoscientific High Priest of the Sexual Revolution" and "20th Century mega-villian."

Alfred Kinsey had researchers observe the sexual torture of children of all ages, down to 5 months. "Orgams" they recorded in these hideous criminal acts included hysterical crying, screams, and... convulsions. His research critera was a joke, from a scientific perspective --not funny at all, from a human perspective.

More than not funny, it's hideous! The plan is to produce more and more dysfunctional homosexuals, (as we all know 87% of homosexuals were sexually abused as children) thus increasing their numbers. For this end, they abuse children. Every one of these people should be behind bars. Those poor kids will never be right.

Wasn't there a movie a few years ago, glorifying the Marquis de Sade?

I was reading Drudge and clicked on one of his story/links regarding the latest box office results.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the movie about the pervert and discredited so-called sex scholar, Kinsey, was fully bombing at the box office. “Kinsey” cost $11 million to produce; was released Nov. 12 and to date has only made $1 million. It is upside-down some $10 million.

I have not heard this. Do yo have a source for this statistic>

"The Chicago Sun Times' film critic Roger Ebert is a native of Downstate Urbana."

I thought it was Siskel that was from Urbana.

"Quills"

[weegee]

Quills?

Plot Outline: In a Napoleonic era insane asylum, an inmate, the irrepressible Marquis De Sade, fights a battle of wills against a tyrannically prudish doctor.

[Paul Atreides]

Isn't "Alexander" bombing, as well?

[Bullish]

Not surprising that the homosexual Ebert believes in the fradualant Kinsey. No surprise at all.

[Paul Atreides]

Ebert never saw a homosexually-themed movie he didn't like.

[Bullish]

Ain't that the truth!

[unspun]

Funny how sadomasochistic rapists are heroes, while moral people are not only prudes, but tyrannical prudes....

[AmishDude]

I do not see how Alexander can fail to be a flop. $155m budget, $60m marketing. Maybe they're hoping for outrageous overseas box office. It's too early, look at Drudge Saturday night.

But, according to Box Office Mojo, only 235 movies have ever made $215m. Ever.

[bonfire]

LOL!!

It's too early to judge the bombasity of the movie. They release it for academy consideration at a few theatres in LA and NYC during the holiday season and hope it will survive until the oscars. Then a boost from a win and into the spring.

If it really tanks, it won't get wide/countrywide release and will disappear. My guess is that this will be it's fate. Then we will know it's truely a bomb.

[verifythentrust]

first "wide" is citywide.

>i>was released Nov. 12 and to date has only made $1 million. It is upside-down some $10 million

It was initially released to 5 theaters, the following week to 36, and is now in 185. The per-theater box office is high. The distributors have been testing the waters to see how much interest there is in the film. It's not a bust yet, which is why Ebert may be talking it up

[longtermmemmory]

Oliver Stone has fled to Europe to avoid critics here. The public has already pegged this movied as Stone's "gay" movie and a poor script flop.

Does the EU have similar buzz outlets? Do EU movie goers have the same access to the internet, text messaging movie observations, or just finding the movie reviews?

So was Margaret Mead's. The principal postulates of liberal agenda are badly executed hoaxes. Liberals count on the basic trait of human nature - laziness .

Information is out there but the majority of people will not bother to check.
