Live Heckle-fest Thread of the 79th Academy Awards

You love them, you hate them, you love to hate them. Hollyweirdos, those wacky leftists who gather together for the annual group hug known as the Oscars. And how fun it is to heckle and razz them as they parade down the red carpet posing for the cameras, granting vapid interviews to equally vapid interviewers, too serious about making their political statements and social commentaries to realize the joke's on them. No one watches their movies. Just look at box office receipts. The money makers are the family films - the ones take it easy on social commentary and political statements. No one gives a flip about their art. They are such sad cliches - dozens of little emperors who have yet to realize they're wearing no clothes. And that's why they're SO FUN!

::takes deep breath, gives into desire to sculpt long, political rant that was going to be a post header::

I saw the Oscars tonight, and what I saw(besides my favorite film of the year winning best picture) was pure propaganda.

I know that Hollywood puts on its list of biggest Liberal causes, Environmentalism but it shoves its face in there.

Seeing Melissa Etheridge(like Ellen) an icon of the Lillith Fair Lesbian Left, sing the worst song of the five basically just mumbling. She didn't even do an active Come To My Window kind of song. Plus it wasn't even Country/Western nor Folk, it was garbage.

Having propaganda pieces at the back(I know, not everyone for an original song is part of a documentary) was disgusting enough. Having Al Gore and Leo Di Caprio rant about how we should check the Oscar's website for environmentalist activities(already citing who was gonna win best documentary) afterwards was infuriating.

Then Melissa Etheridge, out of 3 Dream Girls songs and a James Taylor song, wins best original song.

It is awful, and like Al Gore I think that there should've been a recount on best original song.

Why do I care what the theme of this year's Oscars are? Last years was Social Justice this year's is Internationalism is the next theme, non-violence and Anti-War Moonbats "tell it like it is"? Because I am sick of it.

I don't care what Michael Mann thinks of America, or that two people seem to believe in some theme that even if we disagree, and I am quoting Sherry Lansing and Will "Damn" Smith in there meaning that Will believes a lot in that.

I guess having a few films with Conservative themes, United Flight 93, Half Nelson, and Pursuit of Happyness made some uneasy in the crowd. Oh yeah, and don't give me the usual "it is political" BS, I know what BS is when I see it. What a joke.

What if a former vice President, or much much more accurately Tom Tancredo did an activistic documentary on Illegal Immigration, how it wrecks the economy, the culture, how a free lunch has happened, and how we are stamped by bilingualism, along with National Security threats, and corruption and irresponsibility.

Since most people, at least for a while, in America prefer or preferred English as a dominant language and are against Illegal Immigrants it would sure be a crowd-pleaser, probably the best answer to Al Gore's movie.

But guess what, imagine Sheryl Crow doing a song called "No Free Lunch" and imagine words at the back about writing to your congressmen. Imagine two anti-Illegal Immigration people, including Tom Tancredo, do a talk about it.

Imagining the movie and the song winning. I am imagining Leo Dicaprio, who is probably Anti-Out Sourcing as Pro-Illegal, meaning that he is a fantastic hypocrite, someone who gripes about jobs being lost in America and shipped overseas(maybe even to Mexico) and on the other hand griping about how people taking the jobs that no American wants are being oppressed. It matches the hypocrisy about very few jobs found in this market(because of technology) but what if there was a job loss and lay-offs in every company? Wouldn't that hurt? I guess not to those elitist Liberals.

I love that Babel lost, on the other hand, because that piece of a multiculti Anti-Bush crap was already stinted, and if there was an anti-Illegal Immigration movie that made it big it might depress the three "amigos" including the director of Children of Men who wanted it to reflect fears of a Pro-Illegal(why is somebody Pro-Illegal why not just stamp it into law that they aren't illegal?) Immigration base in Hollywood. Of course these same guys probably think of Soylent Green as "heroic" when it talked about the population bomb, ow my head hurts.

Imagine it, can you do it? I sure as hell can not and I am sick and tired of documentaries being a self-obsessed Leftist domain. Documentaries work well from the left and the right, what if Hillary Clinton comes to power? With a Democrat controlled majority, will there be Triumph of the Will.

In fact, if Triumph of the Will was released today in support of a Liberal cause, it would win everything, and if Melissa Etheridge did a typical song for a typical movie she wouldn't win, that is how clueless the Academy thinks we are.

But oh no, we should not revolt. All of us have jobs, yes all of us must be apathetic to the fact that no matter how Conservative you are, no matter what breed Hollywood is out there to make sure it stays mocked and that nobody can bring a contrary view to their points that they picked.

Yes, we should not all unite behind an Anti-Illegal Immigration movie, like hell we should not! I really do wish that we could fight fire with fire. Forget about the Corporation, or Outfoxed, or Control Room, or Walmart(that documentary), or another documentary showing how horrible Conservatives/Americans are.

There was a psychological study that was read about in one of my classes talking about a human craving for bad news. Hell, the Liberty Festival should do so much, why not contact Stephen Spielberg on movies that matter, like Brainwashed 101, why not have a movie on how great Americans are. Why not make a movie on the American heroes President Bush talked about, or on the guy who lost his hand from hiking?

Answer: Because Hollywood, which used to serve as the champion of the American dream the artistic companion to the Military, now serves us stories of losers, of how the American dream is awful, how awful Americans are, how confused we all are, how stupid we are, or how units of defense(especially the military) or units of business are rude, run by knuckleheaded arrogant satanists running around with pitch-forks.

It is enough to make you puke, but it comes and when it comes it happens. Of course, projection is a neat counterpoint but it doesn't answer why the New Hollywood, the more focused more morally idealized and the more ethnically equal and diverse feels so unequal, oppressive and monochromatic.

Having the best foreign film being won by a guy who probably came from California or some other part of America is ironic enough, why do few people see a movie like Half Nelson?

Sure it might sound like a Liberal film but when they talked about his character in altered states they subtlety mentioned the character's uber-Liberalism thinking that he is a hopeless recluse who carries parts of Karl Marx with him and suffers from a very loose lonely world except when he meets his very pristine family, he does cocaine sniffs it and has a horrible life.

Plus parts of the film(like the mother commenting on the media exeggerating the protest march that happened) might seem interesting. In fact Ryan Gosling's performance(he is from Canada like Rachel McAdams both in the Notebook, and in his bio it said that he would've been a truck driver, like Elvis) was pretty good, but very few people saw the movie in the first place.

The Departed was a favorite because both political sides could like it, if I recall there was a moment when Alec Baldwin's character talked about the Patriot Act giving them technology to better go after gangs and criminals.

Pursuit of Happyness was basically about the Carter years turning into the Reagan years, though that, like The Departed had Will "America is racist" Smith, it had an interesting message especially when seeing so many charts that indicate that black homeownership/prosperity was the highest during the Reagan years.

But let's forget it, and focus on multicultural Babel, An Inconvenient Truth Al Gore's pet project(he probably was working on those "causes" 30 years ago with Armand Hammer of Occidental oil), or some other ridiculous Hollywood caper.

Other than that, however, you had the lighthearted parallel of Motown in Dream Girls, and the distinctly American Little Miss Sunshine along with the only winner of, what I thought was great, Letters from Iwo Jima giving a salute to our soldiers in Iraq, Helen Mirren supporting the Queen of England a lot, if I understand the Queen of England has had some choice words about radical Islam and about burqas.

So yeah, maybe Hollywood does disagree but thankfully some of those "inconvenient truths" happen to burst into the silver screen especially with two documentaries that, from the small samples looked Pro-American In Iraq. However, I don't know if the Academy saw Uncle Saddam.

Sherry Lansing was very good, and rather apolitical. Thank goodness it wasn't a Planned Parenthood sponsor, or Tides Foundation person(though in all fairness the Stem Cell Research segment wasn't clear) or a suicide bomber fundraiser(like, oops, Uncle Saddam Hussein).

She looked very pretty and spoke well talking about diversity, intellectually and culturally, but rather empty. In fact, if you know about the famous statements that Cameron "Don't vote for Rape, poo ha ha" Diaz and Celine "Oh my gosh, New Orleans, President Bush is bad" Dion made you wouldn't even think about Hollywood, what is the old stereotype about that business(which Liberals only remember when applied to Ronald Reagan and a few times to Arnold S.)?

Actors, without cue cards, are bumbling mental therapy distressed fools. I guess that since they are the future of Liberalism, they are now geniuses, how ironic. Since most of the actors are Liberal spawns, that is also ironic.

I personally don't care about the number of times the flagellation stick must be applied, to get dancers to form the shape of the best picture nominees or Ellen and her lame jokes, or the cinematic amatuers heading the red carpet. Yet, the funny thing is that Conservative commentator, Joan Rivers, was on there. I wonder if her daughter, Melissa, is as political as she is but it makes me think that Joan probably hurled when hearing about Best Original Song for Melissa Etheridge.

In fact, I would disrupt it all by asking political questions about Fidel Castro and his treatment of homosexuals, or Saddam Hussein and his treatment of Homosexuals, or Communism's awful record on anything related to any fragment of religion even trendy ones, or Pol Pot and his murdering of intellectuals, or Radical Islam and their censorship of the arts including the favorite of probably some of the Hollywood Left, Ahmadinejhad.

AhMAD, who probably would burn any film critical to Islam or any film that even had a slight Western style is well-liked by many, many Leftists including Hugo Chavez.

Personally, that is far more related to censorship than ANYTHING that President Bush has done. In fact I supported him in 2000 fearing that censorship would happen with Joe Lieberman(who ever since he supported the Iraq War dropped the issue) and Al Gore(used to be America's most Conservative Democrat including on the abortion issue, one of many revelations including fake Christian Jesse Jackson, now he is America's most Liberal. How come we could ask?).

For that, I hate Ahmadinejhad if I also didn't hate him for mostly everything else. But come one come all and have Ahmadinejhad at the Oscars. As an aside it would be interesting if for the actor's bios they would have slept with 50 women in the past five years and have a tape of it playing on that big screen that they have.

As another aside, the Environmentalist part of Di Caprio's bio wasn't surprising, the no talk to Al Gore was interesting but buddy Bubba Bill Clinton wasn't there to relive the 90s with Ellen and Melissa as probably his two favorite Lesbians. Then again, Rosie O'Donnell wasn't there.

Oh yeah and West Bank Story, at least the guy didn't say "Zionist Hoodlums" or talk about the Palestinian issue as one of artistic merit.

So far, I have a lot more but that is the vomit that I can only put in right now. Oh yeah, Martin Scorsese(finally) wins best director, and that is one of the small amount of good things to happen at the Oscars, and also Ellen not degenerating into a badly penned no punchline and badly delivered joke about WMDs ala Chris Rock at last last year's Oscars.
