I suppose on this thread it goes without saying, but I'll say in anyway...BOYCOTT THE OSCARS tonight.
I want the ratings for this year's program go into the toilet (where most the nominated movies belong). I won't waste my money to see the films, my electricity to watch the Oscars, or my time watching to witness Hollywood's self-adulation fest.
Pass it on...
Yeah, they call it Windsor.
I'm kidding ... played hockey there many times and have gone to the casino on ocassion.
Didn't mean to seem like I was attacking you. It just seems that his support for the movie as best picture is an unwelcome opinion. I like to see all opinions objectively debated.
It is true that the Humane Society was worried about how the sheep were treated.
It is NOT true the candy industry was worried about how the fudge was packed.
Your kid(s) is(are) adorable!
That Rove must have rigged the Diebold machines again.
You're right about that.
BTTT!...especially Gump!
Exactly. You may dip a turd in the finest swiss chocolate, but it's still a turd, Javelina.
Bon appetit.
I thought Crash had excellent writing, though it was about as heavy-handed as an MX missile. The "you're *all* racists and the world sucks!" message got old after a while. I wanted to slap the director in the head and tell him to thank God that we at least don't live in a world with the likes of the Huns, Mongols, etc. killing everything that crosses their path.
A liberal wakes up and wonders why the world isn't better.
A conservative wakes up and thanks God it isn't worse.
I own Crash and watched it for the third time before the oscars. To me it was sort of like pulp fiction....a series of very well done scenes that has no real plot and doesn't really go anywhere.
Some of the scenes are absolutely brilliant....but the whole somehow lacks.
I loved Syriana, but I would have voted for A History of Violence.
Oh, no problem. You were right and I never felt like you were attacking. Everyone is entitled to his/her/it's opinion.
No. Give me a couple hours and watch your FReepmail; this'll take some digging, but I know I saw it. If I dredge it up, it won't be posted publicly on this thread; we seem to have bluenoses in FReeperdom.
Hmmm, just had a thought - if you're one of those let me know and I'll refrain from the research.
I hope I can get in without an invite.
Good catch on the Brokeback Mountain crying jag going on at DU. I have heard so many people who walked out of the movie. The box office receipts are not good for this movie. And ABC was counting on it to draw the viewers. They are sooo out of touch.
Actually, homosexuality is simply male bonding and companionship perverted into lust. However, both may be present.
That said, I have not seen the movie.
I agree. I went to see Crash with my wife on her recommendation and had no idea what to expect. I was hooked from the beginning, but I could see how some people may not like it. Regardless, I would recommend it to anyone and they can make up their own minds whether or not to see it.
