I'm shocked that Hollywood made another movie with guns and killing!

So, in their minds Obama is a hero.

I will choose someone that PROTECTS America as my hero such as Kyle, over someone who DESTROYS it as Obama is doing.

"He seems like he may be a sociopath," one Academy member told TheWrap, adding he had not yet seen the film but had read the article... in The Guardian by author Lindy West...
It's an op-ed, not an article. Until the Academy is purged of rabid leftist bigot and morons, Hollywood will remain an out-of-touch, overpaid, undertalented, drugged-out pedophile elitists.

If Clint’s movie wasn’t stealing 90% of Selma’s thunder, this would have been a non-article.

Maybe they should show this trailer before they show the movie.

Since when does making a movie about someone equal celebrating (but so what if he is)?

Movies have been made about a lot of people ... good and bad. If someone made a movie about Hitler, are they celebrating him?

These idiots complaining about this movie need to just shut up and get over it. I can’t wait to see it.

How in the hell did we win World War II folks?

Back then, we fought to win. But politics has taken over warfare so winning is no longer the goal.

One missile, one kill. Between the cost of the munitions and that of fuel and maintenance, it costs what— about $100,00 per bad guy?

Good work, though!

If it’s ever you and me on the ground getting pasted, we’ve got to find a way to jam all that radio communication.

Your post reminds me of a quote by Petronius, a Roman writer during the time of Rome’s degeneracy who hobnobbed with high government society: “In this city (Rome) no one brings up children, because a man who has heirs of his own is not invited as a guest at feasts or at spectacles.” You have to assume the ones in charge of that were not heterosexuals.

IMO, this has more to do with Eastwood than the movie itself. Hollywood will never forget his “empty chair” speech at the Repub. Convention.

That’s right Hollywood, we don’t want our soldiers killing anyone in a war.

Dear holly weird libs, the astronomical box office says yes we should be celebrating military heroes - OURS anyway.

We’re supposed to tolerate YOUR celebration of baby killers so stuff it.

Because Hitler attacked Russia. Hollywood was against the war until that happened.

I putting “Dirty Harry” in the DVD player right now. Don’t have time for “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”...or should I put in “Grand Torino”? “Dirty Harry” it is.
