I have always enjoyed Tony Curtis movies - - fact is, anything he was in was better because he was in it. 'Some Like It Hot' (with Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon) was, of course, a classic. But I also enjoyed Tony's medieval movies and especially 'The Vikings' with Kirk Douglas.

Another indication of the growing chasm between Hollywood and the rest of the universe is the scarcity of bona fide movie stars; those who enjoy that special combination of box office success and larger-than-life personas. I'm happily anticipating computer generated "actors" -- the sooner Hollywood drops narcissistic liberal larger than life filth, the better.

The Left Coast Report points out that while Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon may have donned women's clothing for their film roles, at least they shaved their legs for the part. And Tony Curtis probably does not see that cross-dressing was the pre-cursor to acceptance of the queer lifestyle. Cross-dressing was the highest level of shock that could be accepted back in the day.

computers with faster chips
or more memory

from Pixar or something 'cause
there's just something wrong . . .

Brokeback Mountain is an attempt to break the back of Christian morals and influence in this country. Among Hollywaste's intellectual crimes is the one of acting subtle, and thinking no on can see through their vainglorious attempts to impose liberal dictums on the rest of us.
Hollywarped's MO includes endless poselytizing, continuous brainwashing of audiences into Christian-hating and American-hating. Follywood obviously believes that 24/7 of sexually salacious and violent TV, movies and music are not harming kids and our fragile culture.
OTOH, Hollywarped also believes----with the religious fervor of Tammy Faye Baker---- that a single 15-sec commercial will compel tens of millions of Americans into thousands of stores to buy billions of dollars worth of soap, soup, breakfast cereal and cars.
They can't have it both ways.

How about "The DaVinci Code" starring Tom Hanks & directed by Ron Howard. Wonder what angle they will do with that.

Re: "Hey Texans - is this some great hidden secret of Cowboys?"
Well, rat, I can honestly say there were a few gay cowboys back in the Wild, Wild West of Texas...
Yeah, in my pirate days, we hung them from the yardarms. In Texas you would find them hanging from trees!

That radio ad is so over the top- "a masterpiece", "destined to change the way American films are made for decades to come", " an epic love story". Ugh. The tv add isn't any better. If you didn't know what the movie was about you would think it was a classic American love story.

Guarding Tess is one of the funniest, and most poignant movies I've ever seen! Nicholas Cage and Shirley MacLaine are both terrific in it!

Wallace and Gromit are the best!! Our kids have seen Curse of the Were-Rabbit, but SirKit and I have not. I've got it on our Netflix queue, though there are a couple of movies ahead of it, so we'll have it in a week or two.

The book itself is scripturally controversial---figures the movie will be.
