And if that doesn't define liberals to a T, then I don't know what does. |

Pot-smoking, gay adoption, and mothers gleefully discussing how their daughters lost their virginity. Ahh, just what the Christmas season is all about. What? Not in your family?
Then you must not work in the film industry. Because apparently there, like doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodle, these things add up to a heartwarming holiday.
The Family Stone is yet another case of movie marketing bait-and-switch. Playing on Christmas nostalgia, which most Americans share, the trailer promised a rollicking, good-natured comedy about family foibles and the frustrating moments that eventually become our favorite memories.
What the film delivers is a ham-fisted primer on blue-state values.

Liberals have a tendency to shoot from the hip to disarm the listener. The more out in Left field, the more powerful they feel. I find them laughable.
I saw P&P a week or so ago. It's a very good remake, and the characters did a splendid job.
How about Blazing Saddles?

Second thing was that Kevin Costner (then an unknown) played the dead guy.
I didn't realize it was Costner, but did hear they had edited out whomever it was. I just loved how they sat around reminiscing and being real with each other.
Exactly. I think I talked a fellow conservative out of going to the film based on some of the reviews here. She's a tried and true conservative who I don't think will find any of this humorous.

He still is. |
If you get a chance to watch "Pay It Forward" DO, it was better than I had expected.
You're welcome.
It seemed like a chickflick at the time, but I'll take your advice and see it when I can.
I recently had the same thing happen with Sideways. A buddy of mine thought the characters were just short of visitors from another world, while I found a lot of commonality in the characters.
Now that sounds like a manly movie for manly men!
He still is.
Heheheh - Unknown, or dead, or both ;-)
For some reason, though, we really liked the guys in "The Wedding Crashers" - even though they were sort of slimy too, they just seemd more lovable than the guys in Sideways.
Opposite reactions here. I found the characters in Sideways to be very believable and very likeable despite being so incredibly flawed. The characters in the Wedding Crashers were mostly likeable because they were so unbelievable.
I liked Sideways as well. How about sending me your list of favorites?
Sideways.
A River Runs Through it.
The Lion in Winter (O'Toole version)
John Carpenter's Vampires (guilty pleasure)
Diehard
Hotel Rwanda
American Beauty
The Big Chill
The Crossing Guard
And finally, LOTR trilogy.
Oh man, and I forgot a few of the most important movies. Anything by Kevin Smith.
Thanks. I've seen most of these and wonder if Hotel R isn't too depressing? And LOTR...well, I've always wondered what the draw is...???
