Quidnunc


Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby ?


One of the best damn movies I've seen in years ... right-up there with the recent Kevin Costner flick "Open Range" ...


I'm a Pro-Life Conservative ... and think that Clint Eastwood's character did the RIGHT THING with his "adopted" daughter ...

Those knee-jerk Christian Pro-Lifers give the rest of us "thinking folks" a bad name ... especially with their "as expected" criticisms of this movie ...

I tell you what. I'll send you my brother's address. Go knock on his door, and when he answers, tell him that you think it's alright to enable someone's suicidal tendencies just because they happen to be disabled. When he's done beating the crap out of you, maybe you'll realize he's a parapalegic.

This is not a reaction of knee-jerk pro-lifers. This is an issue that is enraging disabled groups around the country, who belive it sends the wrong message--which is that it's preferable to give up.

I for one, felt completely duped by the film...tons of forshadowing?! So what? So I should paid to see the movie, have figured it out 15 minutes into the film , gotten up and left, gone to the cashier and demanded my money back? FORGIVE those of us who just aren't enlightened film connoisseurs!

Well, if it's as good as a Kevin Costner flick I'll run right out and see it.

Seriously, I wouldn't see it because I don't like suicide movies. If somebody wants to make them and see them, it's their business, just not my cup of tea.

Medved's problem with the movie was not the movie, it was the false advertising used to market it. It was marketed as "Rocky". Had it been marketed with a theme like "The toughest fights aren't in the ring", and hints been given of the sombre nature of the movie, Medved probably would have just said, this is a dark movie, so be warned. It would have been much the same if A Clockwork Orange had been marketed as a zany romp, similar to Dumb and Dumber.

You think Eastwood did the right thing by murdering her?

You are NO Pro-Life Conservative...
