RE: "You're not rude and insulting. I agree with everything you've said and I say that as a happily married mother of 3 daughters, ages 16, 18 and 21. We all enjoy a good movie and like to discuss it afterwards. I wish there were more made like this one."


Thank you for that Jenny. Although it may not look like it much on this thread, a little kindness goes a long way with me and I appreciate the support.

RE: "They do get equal Pay,"

Find that study, you'll see who released it, and how it was later proved erroniouse."



If that is true, I am not at all disappointed to be wrong.
I have met quite a few guys in my time who DON'T believe in treating women as equals on the job, and my statement about "women's rights" is targeted at their lot.

RE: "Alec Baldwin's Private life?

- You mean saying that women and children should be stoned to Death on TELEVISION?"


Actually, he said that Illinois congressman Henry Hyde should be stoned to death, on the Conan O'Brien show during the Clinton impeachment hearings.

Yes, it was a stupid and disgusting thing to say.
No, it has absolutely nothing to do with his performances or acting talent.

If I bent my deeply held personal beliefs on the cinema

Bwahahaha!!!!

Oh, to be 22 again and believe in such nonsense.....

Look, 'the cinema' is crap. It was designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Otherwise it would have never been made.

At this point, the lowest common denominator believes in dying if they aren't having enough fun. They pander to that in this movie--'cuz that's what movies are: Pandering to the lowest common denominator.

I hold that belief deeply..... LOL!

Jeebus, I believe that 'female boxing' is an abomination. When did the idiots decide that was 'OK'?

RE: "That was a nice way of dodging the question

so should a a marijuana DEALER and a crack DEALER receive the same jail time"


No, because marijuana should be legalized (it isn't nearly as harmful as crack, or tobacco, or alcohol), and crack should not, and A man should not be sent to prison for selling a legal drug.

"Your version of 'the truth' about Hollywood's 'agenda' sounds like the childish rantings of a lunatic to me-- far from anything resembling the truth."

Spoken like one is surely running the asylum.

Your posts have provided Exhibit "A" of why Hollywood keeps churning out garbage with little regard for profit.

[what's up]

That's the excuse for a lot of garbage..."the viewer will understand better what the victim is going through".

I don't buy it. Too much garbage around. And the producers use excuses such as yours for making money off it.

I'll have you know that there are millions upon millions more out there like me, who hold the IDEA of the cinema in the highest regard, and do care what happens to it. None of what you wrote is anything but your own subjective OPINION of the cinema, and I don't give a flying f*** what you "think" about my values.

That's usually how values work in the first place, you know...personally.

There's too much garbage going around in the world, not too much in the cinema.

That's right

No, because different crimes are on different levels,

Just like Rush's dependency on pain killers was different from Kurt Cobain's addiction to heroin.

One person actively engaged in illicit drug use for recreation purposes
The other person needed pain management medication, which he then became dependent upon.

[Cogadh na Sith]

And I believe that you are a senseless old pig who couldn't go a round with a good female boxer if your putrid life depended on it.

I strength trained and sparred with the 8th US Army Middleweight Champion until I got into Muay Thai....

I could paralyze her and then snuff her--if you like that kind of thing, I guess.

[RockAgainsttheLeft04]

RE: "Y'know what the best part of 'female boxing' is?
No matter who wins, some dopey b**ch gets beaten up."


I feel truly sorry for whatever woman was masochistic enough to marry you.

[jennyjenny]

Ok, but for the record, I didn't like, The Aviator. There was a way better story that could have been told in that time frame, and no matter how someone tries to make up Leo, he still looks 22. They should have cast someone else to play HH.

[Cogadh na Sith]

I'll have you know that there are millions upon millions more out there like me, who hold the IDEA of the cinema in the highest regard, and do care what happens to it.

Yeah. That's what makes you the lowest common denominator.

This movie was built in a Hollywood lab of focus groups and polling precisely to appeal to you. And it does.

Liking it isn't an accomplishment--it was built for you.

[Zechariah11]

Gee whillickers! Goodness!! Thanks for the insight on a profound matter like that.

RE: "That's right

You're right here...


RE: "Just like Rush's dependency on pain killers was different from Kurt Cobain's addiction to heroin.

...and still so very wrong here. There is no difference between the two cases in the severity and crippling dependency of the addiction, and it is the ADDICTION ITSELF (not the root causes for the addiction) that inspire sympathy in both cases among the clean-living.

[jennyjenny]

And I believe that you are a senseless old pig who couldn't go a round with a good female boxer if your putrid life depended on it.

Ok, now you're losing me. You were doing much better before you decided to have that last drink.

[LauraleeBraswell]

I thought the advertising on this movie was Deceptive and many other people thought so as well,

RockAgainsttheLeft04 attacked Rush Limbaugh

Rush criticized Kurt Cobain for having died of a recreational drug overdose. In later years Rush became dependent on prescription medication which he used to combat a legitimate medical problem. RockAgainstTheLeft compared the two as if they had been the same thing.

But Cobain sought out drugs for fun and became addicted, Rush needed them for ailments and became dependent . They are not comparable
