If I lived in So. Cal. I'd sure try and be there.

BTTT

Wishing you great success. Hollywood is still the bastion of communisim and socialism in America. I don't care for their hedonistic viewpoint on what America should be.

BTW: PG-13 rated movies surpassed 'R' rated ones in 2004 for the first time. This proves Americans are sick and tired of the trash.

Random Thoughts on the Election

http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com |

Nothing especially focused this week, just some random thoughts to share. The fact that President Bush won reelection despite the fact that virtually all of the mainstream news media and the entertainment businesses including the music industry, television, movies, and theater were doing everything in their power to get him kicked out, says a lot about American voters. It also says a lot about how much (or rather how little) influence the framers of American popular culture have over the populace.

Voters listened to the celebrities and then said, "Just because we might like your movies, or buy your records or watch your television shows doesn't mean that we will drink the kool-aid and vote the way you say we should." In the final analysis, people made up their own minds and didn't listen to Dan Rather, Michael Moore, Bruce Springsteen, or Whoopi Goldberg.

All the movie stars, musicians, and television personalities couldn't change the general mood of the country; people basically are fine with how President Bush has governed in his first term. Most people like George W. Bush. They support his strong foreign policies. They identify with his steadfast patriotism and they like his style.

Most people want their president to be first and foremost, an American, not a one-worlder who seeks the approval of European leaders. They prefer that their president be honest and forthright; that he means what he says and acts upon it. Given the choice between a slick speaker with a core values deficiency, and an unpolished speaker who, nevertheless, is able to communicate his ideas and vision clearly and has strong values that are in line with most of the country, guess what? People will take that unpolished speaker every time.

So to all you left wing Celebes who took time out from your busy schedules to do whatever you could to defeat Bush, including lying, screeming, and name-calling, I can only say thank God that most voters are smarter than that. I really wish that the entertainment business would stick to entertainment.

It brings to mind that perfect title of a current book written by Laura Ingrahm, "Shut up and Sing." Yes, just shut up and sing, or shut up and act or shut up and read the news, or whatever it is you have a gift for, but please don't try to tell us how to vote...

Give 'em he**, RD/everybody! I look forward to the after-Freep report! :^D

EXCELLENT!

Can you make that read "Shut the HECK UP" ?"

The Dumbocrat Party official pinup is a big seller among Hollyweirdos.

"Invigorated" is an interesting word to choose. But despite what it may have done for the industry, "invigorating" is not a word I'd use to describe its affect on the culture...which is what we're discussing here. Try to stay focused.

I think Tarantino, despite being personally repellent is a genius, but just like there is good naked and bad naked, there is good genius and bad genius.

While I didn't really like "Top Gun" I understood why people did and "Three Men and Baby", even though it contained Steve Guttenberg, was beautifully written and delightful to watch...although the original french version had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.

Neither one of those examples damaged or hardened the souls of people who saw them. At worst, they were forgettable. "Natural Born Killers", "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction" took film to such a dark place that only a snuff film could do more harm.

I'm not going to debate anyone's taste in film, that's not the point.

[Borges]

Tarantino has denounced 'Natural Born Killers' as being completely removed from his concept which was (Oliver) Stoned beyond recognition. As for RD and PF, they were actually not that violent. The violence that's there takes place mostly off screen (the famous ear slicing scene, the samurai sword scene with Bruce Willis). It's what's suggested that creates the impact on an audience. They are no more violent then all those cartoonish 80s action films with a body count in double figures.

Have you ever seen Hong Kong thrillers or horror movies? They are much more violent then anything we can dream of here. Not to mention Bugs Bunny cartoons. The idea that someone's soul was damaged by watching those two films (or the elegiac Jackie Brown) is rather hyperbolic.

Liz, Dear lady.......
Please be more careful with what you post.......
It's almost supper time here where I live........
I think I just lost my apatite.........

(Geez! what an ugly picture. HollyWeirdos can have him)

[Deb]

Oh, come on. You're in serious denial if you argue "The Gimp" sequence in PF was anything but the most depraved and disgusting sequence in mainstream film history. And the whole assault on the southern men as a closet S&M homo-erotic perverts makes me sick to my stomach. All the sexuality in Tarantino films and his imitators has to be twisted.

Your Bugs Bunny reference proves you're just defending your taste in film and not looking at its impact on the culture in general or the minds of young, men in particular.

Hong Kong movies are silly, blood-spurting, cartoons and involve another culture which, again, is not the discussion here. But even in their case the action swirls around good guys and bad guys. Morality.

Except for Robert Forster, who I will go anywhere to see, "Jackie Brown" was boring.

The Tarantino genre is totally devoid of morality. Everyone is Godless. No one has a conscience. Neither the sex or the violence has any moral impact on the characters.

If you don't think these things have influence on the coarsening of the culture...you're sadly unaware.

[Borges]

I loved Jackie Brown. :-) But Taste is exactly what we're discussing. It's just not possible to control what people are thinking or what various Art will cause them to think and to try is futile. QT's films are postmodern pastiches not meant to refer to anything except other movies and our responses to them. It's pitch black gallows humor.

I've never bought the whole 'desensitize' argument. Any rational adult (and that's who his R-rated films are meant for) is perfectly capable of watching a crackling good yarn like Resevoir Dogs and see it for what it is...a crackling good yarn. You don't have to agree with the moral vision (or lack thereof) to appreciate it.

Dearest FReeper, I am so sorry to have spoiled your appetite. Is this any better?

" Hillary, no sweat. Me in this loincloth will get you dozens of Hollyweird votes in 2008."

[Sicon]

Laura Ingraham is a feminine trifecta:

Cute, brilliant, and has an incredible sense of humor. One of the best talk radio shows anywhere, IMO.

[LisaMalia]

Thanks for posting this. I am going to pass it along to all on my email list.

The last movie I paid to see was "The Passion of the Christ".

I have been a movie-goer for 30 plus years, but I refuse to line the pockets of the vermin who have taken over our entertainment industry.

Needless to say, I WON'T be watching the Oscars this year.

[Fiddlstix]

Dearest FReeper, I am so sorry to have spoiled your appetite. Is this any better?

You are too cruel.......
I would've expected a more sympathetic post to an old man such as I.
I have a weak stomach as it is.
(Please excuse the brevity of my reply. Upon viewing that Pic, I must now go barf.)

Which of the Best Picture nominees would describe as vermin?
