Read 323. It’s the truth.

**Branson makes movies? Who knew.**

Nah, but it has “MOre Live shows than Broadway and LasVegas combined” says the radio commercials.
Movies in Missouri wouldn’t work, I think their taxes are too screwy.
Hollywood is more an Idea than a place, anymore... most stuff (as you Probably know)Vancouver BC, Toronto, NYC has almost as many studios as H’wood, and even Rhode Island is building an entertainment complex that’s massive.

[Texas Eagle]

I do wonder how boring my life would be to post on threads to say that I'm not interested in the thread.

LOL. Yeah, you're life is so exciting you RESPOND to people who say they are not interested in a particular thread.

But seriously, are you that anxious to find out which America-hating homosexual won an Oscar over another America-hating homosexual?

[Borges]

A range of other options like video games and now the Net has muddied the waters of just what cinema is. IMDB now lists video games. Gaming enthusiasts yell bloody murder when they’re told that video games aren’t significant works of narrative art. So because of these basement dwellers I have to be told by IMDB that one of the best films of 1986 was Tetris.

[Melissa 24]

I can’t believe how much Josh resembles his Dad.

North Carolina

[marajade]

well you didn’t ping him

[Richard Kimball]

Oh man. She really was too beautiful for this world, wasn’t she?

[nufsed]

I’m not responding out of excitement. I’m trying to get you to realize you should shut up and let us have our say.

[dfwgator]

It’s sad but the thread IS more entertaining than the show.

It always is.

[Borges]

Uum, which are you talking about?

[marajade]

dark knight yes

I love McAvoy btw and Wanted was a great movie despite Angelina Jolie being in it

[nufsed]

No I don’t want to. You commented to me. Why would I ping him. I addressed comments to him directly. Can we knock off this side chatter?

[Texas Eagle]

TE probably doesn’t like it that AMERICANS invent cutting edge technology for movies. AMERICANS create the best animation and special effects. Maybe he/she’d be happier if this was an Iranian art.

Wow. Where did you get your psychology degree?

Could it be possible I despise the honoring of those who use movies to promote the homosexualization and destruction of American values regardless of how dazzling the lighting or sound is?

[Valentine_W]

Yes, I loved Wanted as well.

[nufsed]

Wanted’s on my list to see.

[lainie]

Thank you for the ping. I figured no one here cared so I’ve been on Twitter.

[BunnySlippers]

It’s kind of like the Macintosh computer threads. Someone [or many people] feel compelled to come on and say that all Mac users are homosexuals ... and that Macs suck.

LOL!

[Texas Eagle]

I’m trying to get you to realize you should shut up and let us have our say.

Ha haaaaa!!! I love it. You should have your say but I shouldn't have mine.

Did somebody say something about the destruction of American values?

[Borges]

Do you think the entire industry is responsible for every piece of product that comes out of it? If there’s a bad book or a bad song do you think the entire publishing or music industry is bad?
