of course it is, and it makes everyone who was ever a cow boy look really weird.
One of the last American stand-bys, the cowboy, is now stolen from us.
"Actress: Reese Witherspoon, "Walk the Line." "
A pretty lousy movie. That Jacquin Phoenix guy didn't look like an actor PLAYING someone on drugs---he just looked like a person who really was on drugs, and had been on them so long he was completely dead inside.
You are a movie bigot.
Correct. I have "discriminating" tastes. ;-)
Nope. Complete bigot.
One day we will arise everywhere and stand up for the rights of Peter Jackson movies. We will have nonviolent protests in Hollywood. I have a dream.
You hear "cracker" used around central Florida some, mostly in it's historical context. Supposedly the term was applied to the cowherders of the mid-19th century and was evoked by the sound of their whips as they drove the cattle through the scrub to market. Today it's generally used to describe an old country boy - someone who would be called a hillbilly if there were any hills around here.
Interesting. Wonder what the teacher meant, since the students live in a large city. Oh, the teacher is Vietnamese, if that matters.
In urban use it denotes a white person of low educational level and low social standing.
But the sheep were safe!
Terrence Howard is a great actor. I've been a fan of his since his performance in "Dead Presidents."
Yes, I saw the movie and I say it still SUCKED horse genitalia.
Ludacris and Larenz Tate philosophizing about their fate and then robbing the stereotypical rich white couple? Matt Dillion quasi-sexual harrassing Terrence Howard's wife but becomes a hero later? C'mon. The obligatory Hellywood garbage.
I like R & B. I don't like the "gangsta" rap and stuff.
But as a Libertarian, I look at hip-hop from an economic instead of a moral point of view.
Except, funny as it seems, even though that was my post you "responded" to, you managed to do so without even the courtesy of an corresponding *ping after switching the respondent of that post to a third party.
Those FR manners & rules you seem so concerned about seeing enforced managed to elude the ambit of your otherwise exacting standards this time: perhaps in future enhancements of your own posting etiquette, you might, perchance, decide to abide by the very standards you are insisting be enforced--before complaining about the woeful state of actually having to respond to posts you dislike.
It's just a thought...
Thanks for sharing.
Clooney did a better job directing GN&GL then anything I've ever seen Ang Lee do.
What's your favorite movie? Did you see Crash? I did as a rental since I rarely go to the theaters unless I have free tickets. It was different, but I don't think it deserved best picture. In my opinion the best picture of 2005 wasn't even nominated.
Answers: Though I saw a number of different movies last year, I didn't really have a "favorite," so to speak. "Crash" was one of them: my opinion on that has already been amply stated on this thread. I guess I'd have to say Revenge of the Sith, because it gave my sons such delight to watch. "Munich" was problematic because although it was artistically a very fine movie, it played a moral equivalence game which I emphatically reject.

On that we certainly agree.
There were no sex scenes in Capote.
