Okay, you ignorred addressing the previous reasons I stated as being perhaps a valuable reason to watch this film.

What about the fact that I have been able to sway the opinions of several of the students in my classes so that they begin to think about political ramifications. Many of my students have been raised in homes where political commentary is non-existant. By showing TTT while they worked on assignements I have found that a dialogue is begun and as a result several students have been influenced into taking a patriotic stance FOR this war in Iraq. One young man has enlisted in the Navy.

And while discussing the issues within the films in the classroom, I have been the one to bring up the actor's dissent to our country's war. In doing so I have been able to make the students see that these actors are merely little players in the drama, not intellectuals.

Doesn't anything like that matter to you?

Brilliant reply, Wn!!! I'd like to think I speak for jonalvy44 when I say...

Common sense alert! Common sense alert! Set phaser to own head in act of helpless desperation in face of actual intelligence!

so you are a coach? LOL

I certainly hope you are a drama teacher. We have taken a stance against anti-Americanism in Hollywood. Our $$ affords these celebs the platform from which to bash America. We aim to remove that platform. You do not have to agree with us, we just spread the info. You gotta love Viggo's allegiance to the UN. NOT.

So the Navy will use the LOTR as a recruiting video? :)
