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!
Speaking of clothes...

Q: Did anyone actually ever watch algore's movie? What were the proceeds?
It was based on a series of letters by a Japanese soldier at the time. And it shows the Japanese army as brutal.
Excellent isn't it? Is that Quincy Jones sitting next to him?
Can we ban this song from AI now?
A bunch of innocent school children were forced to watch it.

EXACTLY! And when he makes googly eyes at the camera. That's supposed to be charming, I guess.
Well, the fix was in. Fortunately the phone rang at just the right time and I missed his speech. :-)
I still don't see the accolades for The Unforgiven however...compared to some of his other work.
The only useful purpose of the Academy Awards is to make the "All Brittany, All Anna Nicole" News programs look good.
It's from their side yeah. 'Das Boot' was from the German side but it doesn't promote Nazism. The film shows the Japanese brutally bayonetting unarmed American soldiers.
It's much funner to just monitor the Freeper thread without having to watch the show.
Robert was in there? It's been a while since I've seen it, but my favorite scene was when Leary took the toaster upside the drunk's head after he'd warned him to quit beating his wife and he basically told him to piss off.
The next best scene is Leary finally finding Walken and Walken points at Jay Mohr and says "Shoot him" and he kneecaps him.
I guess I was wrong about what I saw as a mild appreciation for gore. I still think it was a mandatory and expected standing O. I didn't see a lot of emotion, but maybe that's just wishful thinking.
I will eventually see it on cable. The IMDB threads indicate however that it's a politically charged film...and it is mainly charged IN SUPPORT of the Japs.
I thought it was pretty impressive! Very well made. As ecurbh pointed out, it's a little hard to know who to cheer for as neither of the main characters is truly a good person (hard to know how to phrase that now that I know what I know...), but I enjoyed it. Might actually have to buy it.
You're right, by golly. I just knew they'd be good for something.
The IMDB threads contain every lame brained point of view you can think of. If a film about WW2 is inherently politically charged then you can call this one so.
