Watched part of Million Dollar Baby tonight

[Zafod Beeblebrox]

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.

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. 

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.

You both are right.

I hate clooney but I thought he was great in Oceans 11 and 12 and 13

Meh! I'm just a South Park Republican...What do I know!

I can't stand Clooney as a person, or an actor.  I avoid his movies like the plague.  Thank god for Christian Bale saving Batman...

Yeah but that guy gets some of the hottest chicks ever!

Which doesn't speak well for women folk.

My wife and I enjoyed Million Dollar Baby, we just disregard the LibTard messages in Hollywood movies nowadays.
The one thing I can't understand though is why do people think Hillary Swank is so beautiful? Maybe she was on the road to attractive at one time but made a wrong turn somewhere. Like that Sarah Jessica Parker chick.

Yeah, I don't get it either.  At best, I'd call her a "butter face".

I haven't seen this movie and probably wont but if you really want to see Oscar nominated/winning trash you can't do worse than Babel.

I'm going to spoil it right now:  It is about really stupid people who make really stupid choices and then wonder why bad things happen to them.  And America is always the bad guy.  For like 2 and 1/2 hours or something like that.  The first ten minutes seemed like two torturous hours. 

[Chris_]

At least the evil Estelle Getty wasn't in it.  How bad could it be? 

 :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird:

If she was alive, Estelle Getty would kick your ass for that -- and no way would she have lost a boxing match.  Her filthy trash-talking alone would guarantee her win.

Wasn;t there some sort of call-out with Sean Penn?  I seem to recall he actually stepped into the ring?

Or not -- it was a long time ago.

[Lauri]

jen, i think as Americans, it is our duty to start telling people they are clearly stupid when they say such things.. 

If it was my last day here, I probably would. But since I want to keep my job for a while, I am exercising considerable restraint. Some day I'll get my revenge. 

ah, its a co worker... gotcha.

but try and come up with some good ways to torture her anonymously, ok? talk about all your relatives who are currently on life support and loving it... 

You have an evil side! 

i really do these days ... i'm tied of the election and just want this whole thing over at this point. if i'm gonna have pain with obama, bring it.. i want the lefties around these parts to feel it as well.

[rich_t]

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!

I don't see a damn thing wrong with euthanasia.

No, it was RL (although "Celebrity Deathmatch" was a blast).  He pissed someone off and that someone challenged him to fisticuffs in the ring.

I thought he was really good in "O Brother Where Art Thou."  It worked so well because his character was supposed to be an arrogant prick.  The director must have told him "Just be yourself, George."  Other than that small exception, I totally agree.

Wasn't that Danny Bonaduce that got his butt beat up IRL?

My favorite exchange from that movie:

Pomade Vendor: I can get the part from Bristol. It'll take two weeks, here's your pomade.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Two weeks? That don't do me no good.
Pomade Vendor: Nearest Ford auto man's Bristol.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Hold on, I don't want this pomade. I want Dapper Dan.
Pomade Vendor: I don't carry Dapper Dan, I carry Fop.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, I don't want Fop, ******* it! I'm a Dapper Dan man!
Pomade Vendor: Watch your language, young feller, this is a public market. Now if you want Dapper Dan, I can order it for you, have it in a couple of weeks.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, ain't this place a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!
