Leonardo DeCaprio – Hollywood Hypocrite

I didn’t quite understand the author’s reference to Hugo Chavez, which seems to have been mangled by the editing software.

Anyway, Chavez, the former strong man president of Venezuela, has been dead for three years, and was pretty much incommunicado in a Cuban hospital for six months before that.

Bottom Line - even when Chavez was alive, I doubt that 50% of Americans knew who he was.

I saw Titanic. That movie was so horrible that I have never felt the need to see DiCaprio in another movie.

I could have saved you some time

Titanic - In Five Seconds

[dfwgator]

Titanic is the best film on that tragedy that we have so far and it has its great points, such as showing the moment of impact and people running around the deck as it sinks. We can appreciate the good portions and skip past the dumb parts like Leo teaching Rose how to spit.

Ten minutes into the movie I'm going, "Just sink already!"

“You watched him once.”

Fair enough, but his slams were grounded in falsehood. If he had slammed her for something that was real and factual, I’d accept the “he slams everybody” argument.

Think about it, though. If he slams 40 people validly, and lies about only one, he’s still a liar. After you catch him in, oh, say four or five lies in the space of five minutes, how can you trust him again? Anything he says may be intended to mislead you.

He is a comedian he makes jokes. Did he say Palin could see Russia from her house ( again)? Did you see his skit making fun of Bernie and the one about Trump? They were good.

Haha, thanks.

I went to see Titanic because people were talking about it. I knew people who had seen it multiple times. Must be a good movie, right?

Ack, it was horrid. Starting with the premise that an upper-class girl is going to ditch her fiancé for some street bum, the movie only went downhill. I can’t say I have a lot of respect or empathy for some floozy who throws everything away to have a 2-day fling.

I could deal wit dat

And I don’t mean the yatcheet

“He is a comedian he makes jokes.”

In making jokes, comedians often try to slide things past us unnoticed. How many people are there, do you think, who actually believe that Sarah Palin made that claim about seeing Russia?

It is said that there’s a grain of truth in every joke. But what if the idea on which the joke rests is a grain of error? Does it ever happen that people, without thinking:
1. see that a joke is funny if the “grain” is true,
2. want the “grain” to be true so the joke will be funny,
3. without ever consciously considering the matter, surrender to the comedian’s indirect assertion of the “grain” as truth,
4. and are in that way tricked into thinking that error is truth?

Titanic taught me North Atlantic water outside of a ship is lethal and freezes you in 30 seconds. If it makes its way inside a ship it is harmless and if immersed in it for half an hour it only makes you wet (Or if you are Leonardo deCaprio, wetter)
