Watched part of Million Dollar Baby tonight
« on: July 23, 2008, 01:01:01 AM »
Man, what a pathetically manipulative piece of trash!

Female boxer gets paralyzed from the neck down.  Oh, boo hoo hoo!  Then she develops bed sores.  Oh, boo hoo hoo!  Then her money-grubbing hillbilly family tries to steal her money.  Oh, boo hoo hoo!  Then she looses her leg to gangrene.  Oh, boo hoo hoo!

Blah blah blah blah blah.  All leading up to her death via euthanasia.  We're supposed to feel bad for her and feel that euthanasia is the right thing to do because of all the horrible things that have happened.

And this garbage was awarded Oscars.  Yeesh!

Oh come on !  It was the "Gone With the Wind of female boxer / euthanasia flicks.


(Line stolen from my favorite movie review ever.  Regarding "Babe" it was said to be the 'Gone With the Wind' of talking pig flicks.)

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

I was telling my co-worker this morning about another Hilary Swank movie I saw last night (P.S. I Love You). She asked me, "Have you seen Million Dollar Baby yet?" I said no. I had heard early on what the subject matter was and knew I wouldn't care for it.

She replied, "Oh, you have to. It is WONDERFUL."  ::)

Odd, there was no DVD player in the room.

I seem to recall an old, obscure grammer rule I learned in English class.

Oh yeah, here it is:
Quote
The word GOOD and the phrase BOXING MOVIE should never be used in the same sentence together.  The one is mutually exclusive of the other.

OMG...can't anybody read a book are watch a movie for just entertainment anymore. Always with the "read between the lines", got to understand "the hidden political agenda". My goodness, next thing you know, I won't even be able to watch Bugs Bunny or the Road Runner cartoons without looking for the underlying "The Man is out to get me" meanings.

BTW: The wife and son rented "Million Dollar Baby", It was OK, not great, not bad, just OK...........at least it was until ya'll started filling me in on the deep, dark, subtle, political, brainwashing attempts in it. Beginning to sound like a DUmmie troofer convention around here.

Oh, no.  I knew what the movie was about.  I just figured that since I wasn't paying money to see it that I'd satisfy my curiosity.

:cheersmate: I thought I was the only one here who could watch a movie and actually enjoy it without ruining it with politics. I never liked the whole "DOn't go see this movie because {add liberal actors name here} is in it and he's a moonbat,or a communist,or gay,or whatever. Newsflash folks! Hollywood and most of the entertainment industry in this country are liberal. I'd also have to stop listening to most of my favorite bands if I chose them by their political leanings.  :whatever:

Exactly.  With the latest Superman flick, everyone got up in arms about them dropping the "American way" thing.  Even got me so pissed to say I'd not watch the movie.  Turns out it was a damn good movie.  And when you watch the context of how they left it out, you actually gotta be looking to be offended to have it offend you.

Sure, Hollywood does try to shove politics down your throat now and then, but sometimes you gotta just sit back and enjoy a movie for what it is.  A movie.

We start to become just like the moonbats when we start boycotting something because it strays from our worldview. Are we that weak minded that we can't watch what amounts to 2.5 hours of a fictional piece of entertainment without  it brain washing us into supporting the liberal agenda! If thats the case with some of us,then some of us didn't hold those conservative values as close to our hearts and minds as we believed.
