NEVER FORGET

...When recenly asked on TV about the...

.. www.Newsmax.com ..

...TAPE RECORDING of BILL CLINTON publically admitting to a New York Businessmens' Luncheon last February that he DID in fact deny the Sudan's 3 Free Offers for extradicting OSAMA bin LADEN for trial for his terrorist actions against America during the 1990's...

...HILLARY RODHAM stated that...

.."Oh my, EVERYTHING changed for all the Presidents after September 11, 2001."

...Actualy NOTHING changed since she and BILL CLINTON still did deny us 3 Free Shots at getting OSAMA bin LADEN here before he could unleash the Attacks of Sept. 11th on US.

HILLARY RODHAM knows well what Communist JOSEPH STALIN knew =

BLACK is WHITE, WHITE is BLACK =

The Communist Dialectic is like a Rock ..that KILLS.


STALIN ended up killing over 40 Million of his own people in the last Century.

How many will it be in this one for HILLARY RODHAM as the new Head of the Democrat Party that's just thomping at the bit to take us over in a new -Time of War- in a new Century with an Enemy that is now just around the corner and up our street...?

[Joy Angela]

Yep, or something. That alien eventually came back to "haunt" him too!

Ah! That was a sign too...

...The Communist Dialectic is like a Rock that KILLS =

...Just ask RICK RESCORLA and his loving Widow SUSAN.

[Joy Angela]

You are so right! The ASSAULT Begins!

[Hildy]

I agree with you on SIGNS. So disappointing. But I also was not crazy about SOLDIERS.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...Here's a RICK RESCORLA Ping to U, Sir...

[agincourt1415]

By the way I highly recommend the buying the DVD version, I saw it in the movie theater but got the DVD for Christmas. I enjoyed watching the scenes that were cut from the movie. Especially the LAKE SCENE. It's hillarious, and Sam Elliot was a Great Top Kick.

[Joy Angela]

...Actually, Diana Rose, I've been telling folks ever since my seeing .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. that it was more a Woman's Movie than a Man's...

Now I have to see it!

My cousin served in Vietnam, and now his brother's son is going to IRAQ as part of ground troops (reported in today's papers...Ground Troops Ordered to Gulf)

May God bring him safely home.

[Joy Angela]

...it was really RICK RESCORLA and his lifelong Army Buddy and Terrorism Expert DAN HILL that infiltrated New Jersey Mosques to track down that Blind Moslem Cleric in the Brookly Mosque and then turn him over to Authorities...

...NOT the lying Enemy Within CLINTONS...!!!

No wonder Hillary was BEAMING on that day...

[Rocko]

I can't really argue.

maybe he's a newbie...

...May I also suggest looking into ...Director/Screenwriter RANDALL WALLACE's outstanding book...

.."WE WERE SOLDIERS" - The Screenplay..

The trailers make it seem like three hours of dark and violent battles, which is what I didn't like about LOTR.

Good heavens, if that is all you got out of FOTR, then please DON'T GO!!!

Dan

[agincourt1415]

I've read about 5 books on Custer and I met one of his relatives in the Air Force, G.A.Custer III, he acted like he was tired of talking about the History, I never tire of reading about it for some reason. Also recommend the Scene "Briefing Westmoreland and Secy Defense" (was not in the theater release) after the battle, its on the DVD. Mel Gibson knows how to pick his movie projects.

[BibChr]

Haven't seen TTT yet. The trailers make it seem like three hours of dark and violent battles, which is what I didn't like about LOTR.

Say, while you're avoiding TTT, which you've so expertly summed up, I thought I might warn you away from other movies that would also be wastes of your time:

• Ben Hur — hours of chariot races; who needs it?
• The Quiet Man — hours of people talking in some foreign accent; who needs it?
• Any Move About Jesus or Biblical Themes — hours of outdoor shots, not one car or TV in sight; who needs it?
• Saving Private Ryan — hours of bright and bloody battles; who needs it?
• Sophie's Choice — hours of some gal with an accent; who needs it?
• Schindler's List — hours of mostly black and white shots of people who aren't even American; who needs it?
• Gone with the Wind — hours of medium-bright and bloody Civil War battles; who needs it?

Think of all the time I've saved you!

Dan, she didn't like the battling part of FOTR, and TTT seems like more of that so she thinks she might not like it. Not everyone does like epic-war movies, especially women.

Patriciaruth, Half of the movie storyline is war epic, but half of it is continuing Frodo's journey, so if you liked that part of the story, you may enjoy the movie in part anyway. Even the battle sequences have a lot of human element in them. Give it a shot.

[BibChr]

Hair, if she can watch the epic saga of love and devotion and bravery and sacrifice and heroism and good vs. evil, and cluelessly dismiss it as three hours of dark and bloody battles, she doesn't have what it takes to appreciate TTT. And a great deal besides.

PR, if that's how you see movies, save your money, and save us having to hear your complaints.

Dan

[HairOfTheDog]

I read it differently than you. The way I read it, she said the battles were the part of FoTR she didn't like... If she really meant she didn't like FoTR as a whole, then of course she won't like TTT. But she wasn't complaining, she was comparing the movies she had seen vs. not seen and why.
