Ben Hour did get nominations in proper categories for the movie and most of the actors got a chance to win the oscar. The Passion of Christ was purposely ignored obviously and got none of what you mentioned with Ben Hur, despite being probably the most watched and money making films of all all time. If anything, you just MADE MY POINT for me Torie.

Today's Academy shows they could care less about what the world thinks if they are prejudicial for a politics or against a highly Christian and religious film out of what could be prejudice or their paganism/humanism.

To do a whole film in not even your language seems tough acting. The lead actor got struck by lightening while on the Cross while acting for heaven's sake.

I can't help but see the prejudice and politics of the Academy this year. It's really out there for all to see.

Anti life wins.
Christ locked out for the most part.
The elite of the Academy were being themselves and I was not impressed.

C'mon, Schindler's List, The Passion? Your comparisons are pathetic. Those movies CLEARLY presented those doing the killing as evil. Gimme a break - so you like Clint. I happen to respect life more than an actor/director.

Even if he did make those comments, doesn't take away from his acting talents.

I agree and I didn't say anything about his acting talents. He called the President a Liar and John Kerry a righteous man during the campaign.

His actions are shown as opposed to the teachings of the church and he's aware of it. If the Priest had told him to 'go and do it'...THEN it would be anti-Catholic.

"No, you're just smart. Face it. Deal with it."

Well, thank you. I'm glad I'm in good company. I'm assuming you saw "Sixth Sense" with Bruce Willis. When did you know that he was dead? I suspected it when he got shot and his blood was oozing out all over the bed and the picture faded out to black. But I was sure of it when he went to the restaurant and his wife ignored him and he never picked anything up off the table.

Julia is an untalented skank. I can't think of ONE movie the b-tch ever did that I ever enjoyed.

I have only enjoyed Julia Roberts in one movie, The Pelican Brief. But now, I can't even watch that one anymore. Let me explain.

I didn't see Pelican in the theater, I saw it on CBS a couple of years later. I didn't watch it from the beginning, I flipped over to it from a sitcom, and watched the last 90 minutes. I was never impressed with her as an actress before then, and haven't been since. Denzel Washington was excellent, as was the finished product. I was pleased that they didn't muddle the intense and deadly situation with a silly romance. Later, I discovered that in the original Grisham novel, there was a romance, and that some in Leftywood were annoyed that Roberts and Washington didn't fog up the screen.

So...if it's so good, why can't I watch it? Well, the movie begins with Roberts, as a law student, listening to her prof speak about the Supreme Court's 1986 decision in Bowers vs. Hardwick, which upheld the constitutionality of Georgia's anti-sodomy law. Roberts, smug and superior, lets him finish, and then says, "Well, the Supreme Court is wrong!"

Ewww. I had taped Pelican off cable in hopes of seeing the whole thing for the first time, and I still haven't. It's going to harder to take since Lawrence v. Texas.

I wonder if Sandra Day O'Connor is a Julia Roberts fan.

Dude, no one said EVERY movie is an evil coinspiracy. But you have to have your head in the sand or up your butt to deny Hollywood is overwhelmingly leftist, anti-conservative, anti-Christian. you don't wanna believe that fine. But don't sell the snake oil here where we know better.

I notice that you are quite the Hollywood booster

That's nothing, Citizen; you should have seen "Borges" here pimping for that vicious old leftist Hunter Thompson the other day...nearly brought a tear to me eye...

What's your agenda?

Take a wild guess...(and you'd probably be right).

"Keep on "Kicking against the pricks" for me Borges, and to movie fans all over the world I say: THIS WAS YOUR NIGHT, and I hope you enjoyed it."

How about a fitting tribute to a man who was the President of the Screen Actor's Guild? How about a fitting recognition for Ronald Reagan.....you little people you.

rough on the spawn.

You can say that again. If there are children involved, it really IS "till death us do part." The children will be dealing with which parent to invite to their children's birthday parties and weddings and graduations, and if they invite both, worried about which one will hide in the kitchen so they don't have to face the person who broke up the marrriage to start with.

< off rant.

Sorry, been dealing with that situation in our family for years. It stinks.

Best lines

My top 2, I can't tell anyone but my husband, because they're naughty - each uttered by one of my least favorite actresses, Faye Dunaway - one in Supergirl and one in Three Days of the Condor.

The best I can post:

The town Sheriff in "Jaws" : "We're gonna need a bigger boat."
Much of life is like that.

The other is from another movie ("Dolores Claiborne")I didn't like and an actress whose name I can't remember. Kathy Bates' boss, a bitter old woman said, "Some times being a _itch is all a woman has to hold on to."

(Yep, the first two are worse.)

From my perspective...that would be the long view...lol

I am a slave to my wife. I wear her chains voluntarily.

Irresponsibility on my part would have a doppler effect....plus I would not want to hurt her.

And she would kill me.

And...MISTRESSES CANNOT BE TRUSTED....they will turn on you.

My wife says women are bigger dogs than men.

so do I.....and you still don't get what I"m saying...I said after Passion, many Jewish groups saw Jewish hatred in it....now you would most likely disagree with that wouldn't you......but that is what they saw even though Gibson and most said that was absurb......that is what I'm relating here,......you see stuff here that the director and many others say is not glorifying, just telling the story....no one said you had to like that. Like I said earlier, in "one flew over the cuckoo's nest", the Indian smothered Jack Nicholson and escaped......well that was not glorifying murder, it was the ending of a great film and story....you don't have to morally agree with it to still think it was a great movie

LOL! Maybe we're both dead and we haven't realized it yet.

Never denied that it isn't. I had just mentioned earlier that more conservatives need to go into the film industry to redress the balance.
