Where are the Joseph McCarthy’s when we need them? Why is there no longer a House Un-American Committee? Why is there only an ACLU? Why? Why? Why?

The ‘’Rush’’ thing was soooo subtly BRILLIANT!!!

The ironic thing is that although Rush enjoys his stogies, he hasn't been fat in about as long as the time that Franken titled his book after Rush (or longer).

I don’t believe DePalm or Redford care if their anti-
American films do squat. It’s all about the twisted values
liberals have.

Of course it makes no sense to make these loser films.

The question here is why has Hollywood negelected the
heroic American film since they would make box office?

If I’m correct, this mess got some critical acclaim overseas.

Of course not. They're making movies for the choir, not for the rest of America. Heck, they may not even have a clue that these two movies stink....all of their friends and E! channel sycophants will still fawn all over them because "they speak truth to power".

The rest of America collectively shrugs, but Penn, Redford, et al, will never have a clue.

They don’t care about what we the American people think,only what they believe to be the truth. And they will make more money over seas. A boycott of hollywood is what is needed!

I guess I'll avoid it. As I'll avoid any DePalma film, past (such as the Criterion Edition Sisters DVD) or future I might have been tempted to patronize.

It was very well done and stunning to watch. The 3D was quite impressive

How is that done? Do you need to wear 3D glasses? Can you see it if you already wear glasses?

Thanks!

Mark

Ebert has been an unrepentant lefty from the git-go. It’s annoying that he does know something about the movies, and infuriating that he really can write.

I used to like his reviews, before he became so political. I didn't necessarily like the films he liked, but his reviews were nonetheless informative. After he started writing about politics, though, his reviews started to be more about politics than about movies.

Just a question:::

What if you bought your ticket, watched about 30 min of the movie and went to management demanding your money back? You could tell them you had no idea it was an anti- American film. If you knew they showed crap like that you never would have bought a ticket.

It would take up a seat in the theater, cause the manager some grief,( esp if about 100 people did it), and maybe get them to turn the film down next time. Remember Gibson barely found anybody to back his "Passion" film. He had to back it himself.

I've never tried to get my money back before, what do you think the odds are?

The proof that our Marines are not as De Palma has depicted them in this movie is that he is still alive and kicking! People as amoral as the caricatures in his film would have fragged his Democrat Ass as soon as the reports on its focus were released. Lucky for him they are not as he thinks.

yikes if it makes “Santa Claus Conques the Martians” look good then De Palma is not just jumped the shark, he has jumped the whole aquarium.

It appears that De Palma has jumped the jackass!

DePalma has spent his entire career trying to copy Hitchcock, unsuccessfully.
