...for the 21st Century. The problem is that all of the Obamabots will be rooting for the Communists.

Can we expect any cameos from the old cast? I understand that some may be... ahem... "unavailable".

Rotten Tomatoes got a chance to talk to Ian McKellen at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain where he said he's looking forward to getting to play Gandalf the Grey again in The Hobbit. "Grey Gandalf is my favorite," he said. "Peter Jackson's too, we always preferred Gandalf the Grey. Peter liked him because he got down and dirty. He slept in the hedgerows; he was closer to the earth and not quite so spiritual. He's also funnier -- he's got more variety to him. We thought there was more scope in that Gandalf." The first of the two "Hobbit" films to be directed by Guillermo del Toro is hitting theaters in December of 2011, followed by the second in December of 2012.

Moviehole got a chance to talk to Howard Berger of effects shop KNB about the upcoming Robert Rodriguez-produced Predators, directed by Nimrod Antal for a July 7, 2010 release. The new film involves a very intense group of people stranded on a Predator planet discovering unspeakable horrors - that are not always from outside their group. "I just saw some photos today and they look absolutely fantastic!," said Berger, who got his start working with Stan Winston on films like Predator and Aliens. He added that they are now in pre-production and that they "wanted to have the Predator look as it did in the original film. We went back and looked at the original. I actually worked in the shop with Stan Winston on the first film. It was great to be able to go back to the series having not been involved in any of the sequels, and it was also great to be able to make sure we built them as Stan Winston did. "They look really fantastic. There's a whole bunch of cool [Predators] in the film, and everyone's going to be very happy that we've been very faithful to the Stan Winston designs... It's shooting very soon."

Sam Raimi has signed on to produce supernatural horror film Refuge, based on a pitch from up-and-coming British director Corin Hardy. The project has been set up at Mandate. Refuge centers on a remote town terrorized by a Yeti, the mythological creature native to the mountains of the Himalayas. Hardy will direct from a script by fellow British writer Tom De Ville. Blum's Blumhouse Productions will finance a short film with the same premise as the Refuge feature. Hardy and De Ville will work on that as well. The idea is to offer a teaser that can help Hardy refine his vision even as the script is being developed.

Will that line by Powers Boothe be changed to "600 million screaming Indians... dot, not feather"?
-
Wait, that's a documentary that began production in March 2003.
-
Yes, Saddam Hussein and the Republican Guard playing the part of the Wolverines.At least we know which side you were on!
-
I swear, when your side has Rush and Beck, doesn't something just click in your head that tells you that you are on the side of douchebags? I guess not. It's sad. I grew up a Republican. Now I'm embaressed to admit it.
-
And man Surrogates and Pandorum sound awesome!!! Oh wait there have been no fucking reviews. Maybe we can get some more Love Happens reviews in here or some early screening results from Whip It! How does a geek website fucking JUST OVER LOOK Surrogates/Pandorum and even fucking Zombieland. All of which have had numerous screenings throught this great nation. I can't trust the shit I read on IMDB. Whatever I guess I'll have to live with 4 reviews of Coco Before Chanel this weekend.
-
fucking pussys.

Ignorant people who just recycle fox news ideology should have to live in a GWB limbo. Where the just get poorer and poorer while the few get richer and richer. then a war breaks out and they fight to the death. That's the film I want to see. At the end the survivors will read books and educate themselves so this never happens again.

A hot chick dies. Do you really want to be the cause of that?

...so that you can vote for the next statist that comes along promising "hope" and "change". Then smile when the government confiscates 40% of your income, knowing it will go to the next ACORN scheme and corporate bailout.
-
Oh ... how original. Someone equating a supporter of the President with communism. Now, please, enlighten us with your wisdom - what is communism? What is socialism? Why are they not the same thing? In what way are any actual proposals, bills, official and factual decisions in existence by the current Administration in any way reflective of socialist or communist doctrine? You have 10 minutes to complete the test without using Fox News or Glenn Beck talking points! Go!

So I can refer to your douchebag ass by the correct and proper racial epithet.

Our Government was already hijacked by GWB and cheney. You have nothing except conspiracy theories. We have proof. Let the civil war begin.

how about you GunRunner?

I know. I guess these guys have become full fledge critics (even though they aren't on Rotten Tomatoes). There have been screenings for all these movies around the states. I can't believe someone hasn't sent in a review. I guess unless they are invited they don't see the movie anymore. Usually Capone does, but even he has not been reviewing movies not screened for critics, like Gamer.
-
...those Hajjis weren't gonna wipe themselves out!
I LOVE how liberals make ultra violent movies the top of the box office every weekend and the best selling games of all time (predominantly war-based games, I might add) -- yet when a real war breaks out, it's time to break out the flowers and tie-dye t-shirts. If the Iraq War V.2 taught us anything, it's that even Middle Eastern people are useless at holding a cameraphone still at a dictator's execution. -
Portuguese. Go for it.
If you had seen the original movie, you would know that Powers Boothe referred to our Chinese friends as "screaming Chinamen." I was just wondering if the new movie would rewrite the line to something just as bad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIMH50X0F-4
And it's "Jonas GrumPy," you illiterate douchenozzle. -
...yes, we like make-believe movies and games a lot more than the real thing. Your argument is one of the most ridiculous ones I have ever come across. I love how conservatives assume because people are against the war in Iraq, they are automatically liberals and pussies. Actually, it's the conservatives that are pussies because most of them are chicken hawks and rather believe in a person, rather than idea. You know, the idea of truth. And the truth is: the Iraq war will go down as the biggest blunder and fuck up of U.S. history. Waste of human life and money.

THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR: WE HAVE TO SHOOT ALL THE SLANTS. Thanks to MGM for showing me the light.

The Chinese don't have to invade, they already own the U.S.

The only reason the Chinese would invade would be to collect all the gold reserves from Fort Knox that we owe them.

I don't think the Iraq War was necessary. I just think its funny when some nitwit starts comparing Sodom Insane and his rapist thugs and the Iranian financed insurgents who lop off people's heads with the Wolverines. Even if I did support the war, its irrelevant whether or not I volunteered for it. I support fires being fought, but I'm not a firefighter. I support crime being curtailed, but I'm not a cop. I support the Coast Guard, Navy, Marine Corps, and the March of Dimes, yet I don't work for those organizations either. You must be one hell of a multi-tasker to be able to participate in 100% of all of the causes you support. Or you're a big government liberal who expects the government to do everything, and your taxes count as participation.
-
Wait a minute, why would socialism be bad? I thought we needed a mixture of socialist and free market solutions? At least that what I've read on Daily Kos and DemocraticUnderground.
-
...proof of what?
-
Wow, you're claiming to be a war veteran on an anonymous TalkBack. Color me impressed. I'll bet you're one of those guys who claims to be a Navy SEAL when he tries to pick up chicks at the bar too.
-
We think it's funny when people like yourself start banging on those who are oppose to the war as liberals or pussies. Then make claims about how liberals want to tax everyone and fix everything.
You need to put yourself in the life of an average Iraqi... What would it be like to have your country invaded for no reason? There were no terrorists until the occupier showed up. No WMD. NO links to terrorists. Then see how your families and friends have their heads lobbed off because of religious differences. Then see your country burn... how would you feel? Then again, when Americans ask that, we're pussies or liberals. I like to think that we give an actual fuck ... even if it's a Muslim or brown person. Or hell, I give a fuck when it's our government putting us at risk by invading a country that only increases the threat of terrorism (see 2003 NIE) and throws away almost a trillion dollars. -
But they get turned off when I start flopping around the barroom floor, slapping my wrists together and honking indiscriminately.
-
I didn't bang on people who opposed the war. Plenty of right wingers were against it too. I was commenting on the sheer stupidity of someone comparing the 2003 Iraq invasion with what happened in the original Red Dawn. Do you or do you not support the killing of US soldiers by insurgents in Iraq and equate it with the Wolverines killing Soviets?
-
I was never more bitter and stressed than I was back then, fighting against the way the world works. I even considered joining Operation Human Shield. But then I learned that Islam wants nothing less than Western society wiped off the face of the Earth, no matter how many white flags we put up. So now I say "You first..."
-
I was an OS2 on a Spruance class destroyer called the USS Fife DD 991. I worked in C.I.C. combat information center. Stationed in Yokosuka, Japan. But I don't really really care what you believe, because you believe the Glenn Becks and Rush's of the world....so this has been fun.
-
Also is that makeshift communist logo mean that this movie will have a future Soviet Union or something? Also having the Chinese invading us is hilarious they basically own the US. It's like America invading Puerto Rico: What is the point?
-
..."Alright! A movie about communists invadin' 'Merka! See? We told you those damn commies were just layin' low. Us right wingers were always tough against pinkos! Yep! During the Cold War, people actually used to take us seriously. And we were serious. Now all we got's Sarah Palin and Glen Beck. (Personally, if commies did invade, those two'd be the first to show up on TV in Che Guevara shirts holding Mao's Li'l Red Book, I betcha.) No one gives us our props no more... they all think we're droolin', tin hat-wearin' loons nowadays. Damn I miss the commies..."
-
Yes, you can make the comparison. As an Iraqi, you can easily make the comparison.
Wolverines = Iraqi(s). Iraqis pissed at the invasion ... why would that be? Hmmm... why would Americans be pissed at an unwarranted invasion? Hmmmm....
You are blinded by patriotism. What would you do as an Iraqi? -
You could have gleaned all that information from Wikipedia, so you may not be a liar but an anonymous TalkBack doesn't provide you with any credibility. You said you "have proof"; I asked proof of what. I don't even know what you were responding to, nor what you were claiming.
-
The war mongers have traditionally been on the left. Wilson, WWI. FDR, WWII. Truman, Korean War. Kennedy/LBJ, Vietnam. Nixon, ends Vietnam. Reagan, ends Cold War. Clinton, Kosovo (in addition to bombing a dozen other countries). Obama, expanding the war into Pakistan. As for the Bushes, they're neocons. The neocon movement was founded by a bunch of Trotskyites. So it ain't surprising when they massively grow the size of government, come up with "Homeland" security or start a bunch of liberal nation building wars.
-
YackBacker confused!
-
That is the funniest shit I have seen in a while!!!! hahahahaha... Reagan ended the Cold War? Nixon ended Vietnam? TOO FUNNY!!!!
Wow, wait, is this a joke? HAHAHA!? -
I'm not "blinded by patriotism", just intelligent enough to know that there is no comparison between the government of the United States circa 1985 and the Baathist government of Saddam Hussein.What would I do as an Iraqi? I'd help the coalition forces depose the rotten crime family ruling my country, and I'd help them clean up the human garbage that is suicide bombing my fellow Iraqis, just like tens of thousands of Iraqis are doing today. Look up the Iraqi Security Forces.I take from your comments that you would have fought on Zarqawi's side? Good to know you would support a 7th century religious theocracy. How Jeffersonian of you.
-
Oh whoops that time never existed. JFK himself was a hardline anti-communist pinko hater so I guess that means he was actually a "conservative type"?
-
The reason why so many Iraqis are helping the U.S. out is because they are being paid by the U.S. gov to do so. Why do you think the surge worked so well? We paid em off. Think there is a democracy there? Hardly.
I wonder if you would help them if one of your family members was killed by a blackwater merc? Or maybe a misfire from a U.S. fighter plane on your wedding day? You don't know what you would do because you're not an Iraqi and have suffered loss for no reason. -
Because he is not an Iraqi. Liberals love playing "What If...?" for some unknown reason. Their entire belief structure is based on hypothesis and dreams. We have never been a liberal society, and we never will...no matter whose name is on the desk in the oval office. Obama is going to find out soon enough what results from handling Iran and North Korea with a delicate touch.
-
..And thank FDR for starting the Cold War by not giving the Soviets more of Western Europe I guess. JFK gave us Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis because he didn't let the poor downtrodden Cuban people place Soviet nukes on their island like good modern libtard would have probably advocated. Damn those anti-Soviet warmongers.
-
Not to get off topic but i thought i would comment on A MOVIE on a MOVIE SITE. I like the casting of this so far Hemsworth has a great agent apparently and I thought Josh Peck was really good in The Wackness. Seems like it is off to a good start. Discussing politics on this site is like shouting out requests to Metallica from the last row...FUCKIN DUMB. When it comes to Hollywood the U.S. needs enemies. It makes for better movies.
-
Paid who off? What the hell are you talking about?!You've pretty much admitted to supporting Zarqawi's fight for a religious dictatorship, so I don't see how anyone could possibly take you seriously. Of course the members of the Iraqi Security Forces are paid; do you expect soldiers to work for free? No Iraq is not going to become Switzerland overnight, but maybe in ten years it will become like Jordan or Turkey. That's preferable to a murderous crime family running the state.
-
If China really wanted to do it they definitely could. The US lost it's balls after WW2. Stupidity has already whipped it's ass, why not another country?
-
Pretty sure Nixon pulled us of Nam
-
...to bring out the dittoheads. The idiocy on display would be frightening if it wasn't confined to a talkback, instead it's just the typical empty internet noise. "We have never been a liberal society, and we never will..." Yeah, except we're a LIBERAL DEMOCRACY by definition. People just use the word liberal as an abstract perjorative without any concept of what the word actually means. It's helpful, though, lets you know who's worth responding to. -
You're right. Classical liberalism is something to be emulated; modern liberalism that defines the Democrat party is simply statism wrapped up in egalitarian mumbo jumbo and delivered via the Soros network of interest groups.
-
... will I have the urge to see it again? (See, because the Chinese are the villians. And when you eat Chinese food...)
-
... negotiated cease-fires with the North, advocated for the end of conscription and pushed for withdrawal, yes. But let's recall, this was right when the Senate and every other politician was backtracking rapidly at the public freakout over the human cost of the war. In his first term, he actually ESCALATED our involvement by bombing Cambodia and authorizing operations into other countries to ensure victory.
-
To state that Iraq will become Turkey or Jordan within 10 years is disingenuous at best. It is number 6 on the "Failed States Index" of unsustainable countries. It sure was run by a despot and a corrupt military government - but at least it was run. Trying to justify our illegal invasion and "dismemberment" of the country with "well, they're better off now" sounds naive and repugnant. Ask any of the 5 million estimated orphans, or 4 million refugees how they feel now - was it better having a relatively secure country run by a jerkoff yesterday, or today having an anarchy with a toilet-paper strong government that doesn't have enough power to prevent your neighbor from blowing the F out of you because he disagrees with your religion / political stance? We put that country on the path to chaos, with no justification whatsoever, and anyone that even tries to make it seem like "they're better off" should go try living there for a bit without the defense of the Marines and get back to us
-
That would be a funny movie, actually.
-
Glen Beck is basically a forum/talkback troll who got his own show. Search your feelings, you know it to be true...
-
I think to say that Hussein "ran" his country is disingenuous. The no fly zones pretty much kept his political reach within the confines of central Iraq.So have you actually asked any of the orphans and refugees? What did they say? Should I feel the same shame upon asking someone who was orphaned by an allied bomb in Germany or Japan if they were better off under their respective dictatorial madmen?And to state that Iraq can't be Jordan in 10 years, that its not even a 'possibility', is rather ridiculous. Jordan is not exactly Sweden.
-
Bush 2 was a commie, now? The fuck??? I know you Repubs were trying to distance yourself but damn... that argument's a few burritos short of a combo platter. Darth_Inedible: (heh, cool handle) Kennedy was prez in the early 60's back in the days when you could smoke cigarettes and drink cocktails at work and smack your secretary on the ass whenever you felt like it. And that black guy who lives across the street? What black guy who lives across the street? There aren't even any Irish within 100 square miles of here! It was a different time, as Mad Men always tries too hard to tell us. Yeah, Kennedy was a liberal, for his time. Today he'd be another sad, aging cold warrior slipping dollar bills into the g-string of the fat, horse faced Tuesday-afternoon-shift stripper at the joint across the interstate from Del Boca Vista Retirement Community. "Not much to look at, but boobs is boobs, right? Nice gal though. Says her name is Dee-Ahblow or some such."
-
The major difference being that Germany and Japan (if you are, in fact, referring to their involvement in World War II) were two major powers actively invading and conquering other sovereign nations.
Iraq was a country that was no threat to the United States. Had NO weapons of mass destruction. Had NO active ties to Al Qaeda or involvement in September 11. And the United States illegally invaded, destroyed and conquered the country at the behest of it's Administration (at the time's) wish for whatever unjustifiable reason (revenge, oil, etc.). I'm not sure why you're trying to draw comparison. Iraq didn't attack the US or its allies. Germany and Japan did. -
Kind of like how the modern "conservative" movement is nothing like actual conservatism? So if you're criticising liberalism that isn't actually liberalism, and I'm criticising conservatism that isn't actually conservativism, why are we still using these outdated labels if they don't actually apply-- and often represent the exact opposite-- of what we're talking about? -
The Allies bombed innocents in the millions during WW2; we killed 100,000 Japanese civilians in one night during the Tokyo fire bombings. We bombed Dresden into the stone age even though it had no military merit. Your main point to me was that I needed to look at the outcome of the innocents who suffered during the Iraq invasion. So are you then saying that its okay that children were orphaned during the second World War because their governments were more belligerent than the Axis? Is it wrong to bomb innocents during warfare or not, keeping in mind that we intentionally targeted civilian populations whereas we tried, however half-assed, to avoid them this time around.I think the invasion was a bad idea fed by a desire to start changing the Middle East politik, groupthink ,and faulty intelligence. There are plenty of legitimate arguments from all sides as to why it shouldn't have happened. But if I talked about the glory days of Saddam when he "ran" his country and everyone was fine, as you are, I'd feel a little dirty inside.
-
No fucked up Kurt Vonnegut. I say it's a wash at worst.
-
It's all about context, and in your case, apparently taking things out of it. My point was not about declaring Saddam's reign over Iraq the "glory days" (which they were certainly were not), my point was to dispel any rationalization that what the US did to Iraq was a GOOD thing. You're comparing the US's wars with Germany and Japan to it's invasion of Iraq, which are in no way, shape or form the same thing. Germany and Japan were powerful nations that set out in either greed / insanity or desperation to conquer their realms of influence, usually at the cost of their own citizens. The United States eventually bombing of either nation was just as horrendous as any war. The difference being we were responding to an outright attack on the World itself by two powerful enemies. The US, in 2003, was a massively powerful nation demolishing a country that could in no way or how pose any threat to it (or mount any sort of defense). My comments on "ask these people" was to dispel your earlier statements that seemed to indicate the US invasion and occupation was a noble effort for the benefit of the Iraqi people - when that was darn well not the intention, NOR the result.
-
but you're all making simplistic jingoistic/apologistic rhetoric from little more than talking points, calling each other liars for not being able to produce DNA evidence of military service, etc. get over yer bad selves. Wolverines!!!
-
...but I don't remember Iraq annexing Poland or bombing Pearl Harbour. And I don't seem to recall the entire government infrastructure being destroyed and a puppet government put in place while the Allies occupied those countries with military patrols on the streets for five years after the war either.But apart from that, the two examples are, like exactly the same.
-
...Abe Lincoln is a warmonger and did everything he could to bring about the Civil War. So much for his "anamoly" theory.Geez. Anyone who thinks that our involvement in WWI and WWII is a result of Democractic warmongering is an idiot. Sure, it's a blanket statement but so was the one that prompted it.
-
You don't know the result. It may end up being a continued disaster, or it might end up being the best thing that happened to the middle east since Ataturk. To imply that the intention and the result (not known yet) was 100% malevolent and will be 100% bad for Iraq is a gross oversimplification that is just plain wrong. Many people in Iraq are better off, and will prosper not living under Hussein.Does that justify the invasion completely? No. But I'm not going to make the absurd claim that absolutely no overall good will ever come out of the deposing of Saddam, which is the claim you seem to making.Deposing Saddam Hussein is a noble goal, but was it worth the cost and the damage? That is the question you should be asking.
-
Well, Judge Briggs Im calling you a pussy...an armchair commentator that doesnt know shit and who covers his cowardice behind a facade of 'a higher morality'. Unlike you I DID serve as an infantryman in TWO combat zones (one of which is Iraq). What does that mean? It means you get your facts from the internet and I was actually there. Thats the other critical difference: I believe in what Im doing enough to risk my life for my beliefs why you sit their at your keyboard trying to impress yourself with your pseudo intellectual blather.
To Omarthesnake: Nothing Im saying is jingoistic at all and I have a DD214 that shows my pedigree. I like the point that violence in its cinematic and video game incarnations seem to have a vast appeal with the basement dwellers who are the same folks that would shit themselves in real life. This only backs up my theory that most bleeding heart liberals WANT to have the balls to risk it all for something they believe in but their lack of cajones relegates themselves to jealous spectators living vicariously through HD avatars. Another point I should make is how many hot liberal hippie chicks I banged that loved the uniform. Its funny how these chicks preach and protest peace an love but will hop in the sack with a soldier in a heartbeat. Theyre probably tired of the testosterone impaired effeminate liberal males planting organic gardens and watching LIFETIME. You can call it arrogance but at least its based on experience. So, occupy yourself with your Modern Warfare 2 while you wait with anticipation for yet another big screen spectacle with booms and bangs and revel in teh fact that you have lived a tepid colorless life where your belief system is valueless because youre unwilling to risk anything more for it then your shallow words and shaking knees.
-
Crystal Skull made them the villains but in a cartoonish way. It'd be nice to see them ripped apart more realistically. Mao and Stalin murdered far more people than Hitler.
-
...showing that the old "you can't criticise a movie until you've made one" logical fallacy can be applied just as easily (and stupidly) to a discussion of international politics as it is to movie criticism.
-
Hypocrite. Both guys are trash that add NOTHING to the discussion. They're errand boys... sent by grocery clerks to collect a bill.
-
Sure you've got some neo-nazi kooks but the KKK is down to like 1200 members. Dickheads like Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and Kim Jong-Il are still tinpotting around the world.
If Hollywood had any balls they'd make more movies with commie bad guys (or radical Islamists, but that ain't going to happen). -
I don't really mind Olbermann but it's clearly obvious that he has intentionally established himself as the polar response to Bill O'Reilly and Fox News.Now, Glen Beck...is something else entirely.
-
We're seeing the result right now. The facts are in. The information is there. Of course, the US News Media has grown tired of the whole thing so it's not played out on TV screens every night. But the results are there. There was nothing noble about US intentions in Iraq. It was entirely self-serving. The "noble deposing" of Saddam Hussein was a side-effect that was counted on, but not the main priority. More people are dying monthly in Iraq today than under Hussein. Saying that "many people" are prospering is to be completely ignorant of what is going on over there. Hoping that a utopia will spring up out of nowhere. And even if 20-50 years down the line the country manages to finally pull itself together, it will be no thanks to us. So to try and justify, AT ALL, the invasion as a noble effort to "free" the good people of Iraq "for their own sake" is complete BS. The facts are there. "Deposing Saddam Hussein is a noble goal, but was it worth the cost and the damage? That is the question you should be asking." Asked and answered. No, it was not. If a majority of the people of Iraq rose up to free their country, and we went in and supported them, then it would have been a noble effort. Instead, we took it upon ourselves to invade and effectively destroy the place for our own selfish goals. There's no sane method to sugar-coat it.

MNG, there are varying degrees of bullshit artists, I agree
by yackbacker
But Olbermann, O'Reilly and Beck are all fucktards. They substitute actual news with high school bullshit. Seriously, what a waste of time that no major news personality has sat down and talked soberly about health care. There's a wealth of information that we could consider which would reshape the debate and make for better policy. Instead, what we saw at those town hall meetings was a product of the information the major news outlets is delivering to the people. No, we can't expect Jim Lehrer to take over the nation's airwaves, but do we need to hear about the sexual proclivities of any politician, R or D during this time in our history? As long as they're not raping, sexually assaulting anyone OR abusing their office for personal gain, no we don't.
I reject the whole lot of them, ideology aside. They're wasting our very valuable time. -
You people are debating politics on a movie website with some faceless geek on the other side of the country!!!

To see the Chinese whip our butts AGAIN!

You contradicted yourself there. Was deposing Saddam a noble goal or not?

Conservative, Liberal. How bout just enjoying movies without the political crap that flies around this site. For politics go to visit a blog for that. Stay the Hell away from this site. Obama Sucks wayyyyy more than Bush anyway.
Let's go to the movies, gang!!! -
... it was the Cubans acting on the U.S.S.R.'s behalf that invaded Colorado in the original. Now, Cuba has gone on record as proclaiming Obama "the best President we ever had". Coincidence?!? Bum-bum-BUUUUUUM!!!
-
Thank you for not smelling bullshit and declaring it sweet.
-
Fucking nailed it man. Anybody who goes ape shit crazy at the idea of some one like Sean Hannity having there own show ,while they worship Olberman or that dude thats on after him is a fucking nutcase. When did this happen? Was it the invention of 24 hour cable news? The majority of America has went out so far on a right or left limb that there might not be any coming back.
-
I agree. And it's truly a disgrace that so much of what gets passed off as "news" is nothing more than one "side" blasting the alleged fallacies of the other "side". And while there are places and forums for this, it hardly adds anything to a more reasoned understanding of the issues and facts surrounding them.The reality is that we now live in the world of the 24 hour news cycle. Yet ironically enough, there is probably no more than 2-3 hours of genuine, concrete news (depending on the scope of national/international topics discussed) worth reporting on any given day. That means the rest of the cycle is nothing more than a constant rehash of a select group of items told in a sound-byte format which are then put through the editorial/entertainment meat grinder. Who knew that the press (aka media) was as good at making sausage as our beloved politicians.

I don't watch cable news anymore, unless something is breaking like Mandy Moore is getting a quickly divorce and moving to NY to be with me. But I've seen enough to marvel at how people like Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, Bob Beckel, ANYONE on CNN, Jonathan Alter, etc. have actual paying jobs. You're 100% right- they react and rant. There is no independent research by the press.
I was working on a news story pitch for CNN a few years ago- did some good research on a Congressman and gave it to a reporter that I was friends with at the time. She was into the idea of the story but told me "This won't fly with my editor. There's too much information here." Imagine if the editor of The Washington Post show down two young reporters who presented a convoluted story involving an apt. break-in and how it is connected to a president? Amazing the world we live in... -
fucking typos.

Don't glean your ideas from people who orbit the idea. Look at the idea and judge it on your own. That's how I became a pro-life, pot legalizing, pro NSHC, gun owning, civil union backing, Christian, evolution believing, Republican Party leaving, amnesty backer I am. In short, make sure everyone hate you!

It shouldn't even be called news. It's theater. It's reality tv.

My first girlfriend was from Royal Oak, she broke my heart too. She was a petite little blonde girl who was a screamer. Very hot.

He's a true believer. He's like a political preacher. He puts on a show, but his point of view is really his point of view. Doesn't matter if you disagree or think he's a dipshit. He is honest about what he preaches. He probably should have gone into politics instead of his tv show about politics.
-
should still be on sports center. Not because he's bad at what he does. Because he was so good at SportsCenter.
-
That doesn't negate the fact that they bring very little to the table in terms of substance. I think calling them "preachers" is appropriate-- they're selling beliefs, not facts. And they're mostly preaching to their own choirs. Many people find it psychologically comforting to hear someone speak or write the very things that people believe. That's not leadership- nor is it news. It's propaganda. And I dislike propaganda in all of its forms.

FUCK! when did this site get filled with political douchebags?
by maniaq
fuck this
I'm outta here -
I am pussy? I am what I eat. haha... anyway, I know more than you think... as for serving my country... Fuck off, I served a two full years in sub-Saharan Islamic Africa developing a small business for a women's group for the Peace Corps. Lived in a grass fucking hut and shat in a hole for two years with no electricity for the good of our country and the empowerment of poor women. I would love to see you try doing that. I am now defending my thesis at The Johns Hopklins University and it's on counter-terrorism policies. The verdict is in: the war in Iraq is a fucking disaster for the U.S. and Iraq... ultimately it's a fucking disaster for our security, human life loss, treasury, and reputation in the world. I don't give a shit about how many girls are banging soldiers. Who gives a shit? Iraq = epic fail. You obviously don't know anything about the bigger picture.

WWI and WWII may not have been war mongering, per se, but it was most certainly about power mongering. It's recently been proven beyond doubt that we were transporting munitions on the Lusitania. So there goes our casus belli. WWI was none of our business, and if we would have stayed out of that one, the Treaty of Versailles, would not have been so onerous, and the odds of a psychopath gaining power in Germany, promising vengeance for Versaille, would have been greatly diminished.
As for Lincoln being another anomaly in my theory, that's going back so far that the modern day liberal and conservative labels barely apply. Regardless, in the 20th century, most wars were brought to us by liberals. Both in this country and abroad. You can't deny the facts.
I will concede that, in saying Nixon ended Vietnam and Reagan ended the cold war, I was exacerbating somewhat to make a point. But those wars did end as the result of their actions. Even if they weren't particularly good presidents.
As for Bush, I'm not sure if I really think of him as commie, but it is an indisputable fact, that the neo-con movement was founded by former Trotskyites. It wasn't ever a secret. Bush expanded government to unprecedented levels. That is the polar opposite of conservatism. He hired the former head of the KGB and former head of the Stasi to work on internal documentation programs for Homeland/Motherland/Fatherland Security. If it quacks like a duck, it's a duck. Just like Joe Isuzu, when he says he's a conservative, HE'S LYING. You judge a person by their actions, not their words.
And lastly, Glenn Beck is the worst thing to happen to the conservative movement, since Bush. That is all. -
i don't think propaganda is bad by definition. getting out an idea isn't a bad thing in and of itself. i think when you are misleading people. specifically when you are pretending that you are putting out news or fact when you are really putting out your ideas dressed up as news or facts. i think that kind of dishonesty is bad.
-
...when people who oppose our current Marxist-in-Chief are painted as Bush-worshipping, war-lovin', gun-toting puppy killers. Fact is, a lot of us saw Bush as a big-government stooge whose only saving grace was his belief in a strong military and the concept that no country ever taxed itself into prosperity. And you also gotta love some of the comments about pre-invasion Iraq, which was apparently paradise on earth before the American barbarians came in and shat all over it. Yes, a paradise filled with rape rooms, unwarranted arrests, and executions without the annoyance of, you know...an actual trial or something. Saddam Hussein was a fucking angel, wasn't he? As for Obama...the man is a poor leader who thinks appeasement and disarmament is the way to peace and that government is to be trusted. Bush fell for the big government lies, Obama's a fucking true believer.
-
I am completely sold on this now. Commie fuckers...I HATE YOU ALL!
-
...dead Americans all over Iraq. Thank you for eternity Bush...and now we have to stomp the shit out of the Taliban all over again. Thank-fucking-you.
-
but beck and el rushbo will give the movie raves and call it a documentary
-
You can't fool us comrades. We all know the admins of this site are commie sympathizers by your unrelenting adoration of Obama.
-
I hope they don't muff out and make it soft, we want to see red chinamen being gunned downed by flag waving high school teens!!
-
Haha! This is the most idiotic remake, and there are so many, that has ever been done! Just rent or buy the original film on DVD. It'll be a million times better and cost you a lot less to view. Biggest indication to how bad this remake will be? It's directed by a stuntman/first time director. The Sci-Fi Channel (or whatever it's called now) has a ton of movies directed by such that make absolutely no sense...which they try to make up for with a lot of mind-numbing explosions and stuntmen flying through the air.
-
And there are a lot of people who are either maniacs or pisstakers. Something I always wanted to know: why do conservatives take issue with Obama's tax policy? Would they rather he ran up a gargantuan national debt like Bush and mortgaged the country's crown jewels to old enemies like China and Russia?
-
is John Milius' politics are far more complex and interesting than any of the one-dimensional views laid down here. The dude is a self-descrobed "zen anarchist" who said Rush should be hung for defending Wall Street goons who helped bring on the recession. He is pro-choice, pro-union, and was a critic of the George W. Bush Administration. He is also a ranking member of the National Rifle Association. And while many of you argue about the Cold War, but if "Red Dawn" was 100% a serious "propaganda" film, would the invading Soviets be showing "Alexander Nevsky" and taking guns from the "cold, dead fingers" of guys who have bumper stickers with the very same slogan?
If you like Milius, you may want to check this out:
http://www.theaspectratio.net/milius.htm -
Seems like, yeah, there's still a few regimes around that lay claim to being "communist" such as Cuba and North Korea. But they're really just your average nutbag banana republicans (small "r" here folks!). Definitely not of the caliber of the old school Soviet Union. It's a good thing for the world that the Cold War was fought via Third World proxies and crazy ass spy games, if it had turned hot, we'd all be particles of radioactive ash blowing around (Harry'd be a LOT of particles of radioactive ash blowing around). China claims to still be communist, but they're too busy cranking out DVD players, and everything else, to spend too much time obsessing about it. What's twisted is how most conservatives still miss the Cold War. Hell, I remember when the old time communists tried to stage a coup to regain power in Russia back in the early 90's, that blowhard Hillbilly Heroin addict Limbaugh was actually rooting for them, he had such a hard on for the Cold War to start up again. Sure now you've got Putin in charge, but again, dude's no commie, just a two bit mobster, got lucky. And hell, with a basket case country like Russia, who else could or would want to try and run the place and actually have some success doing so besides the mob?
-
...the quick and easy way to give your shitty remake (that nobody wanted) that "hip" and "edgy" feel.Except there's some of us out here that see Mr Reznor as the whiny 40yr old millionaire living of the rep of ONE GOOD ALBUM that he is.He's the Fred Durst of goths.You want edgy industrial music? Go look for Foetus, Decree, Halo, Einsturzende Neubauten, et al...give the bollocks NIN a rest!

What the fuck are you talking about? Where is Reznor mentioned? Oh yeah, NIN rules! He has multiple good albums. WOLVERINES rule too!!!!

Did someone say that serving in the Peace Corp was like serving in Iraq? I've got sixteen scars on my arms, side, and legs that will tell you they would have loved to shit in some hole for two years rather than getting the flesh torn then burned off of them. Just sayin.....

But let's lay odds now- witty political satire this is probably not.
-
Where you at?
-
If you were there we would have shown up, but you're our corazon!
-
I read that he meant serving his country, and while not the same as serving in the military, serving in the Peace Corps is still an honorable thing to do on behalf of country and self.
And BTW I believe you did serve, unlike GunRunner who probably would call you a liar as he did the other vet. -
Sorry you didn't make it, just catching up on talkbacks. And waiting for Moore to talk to Rachel Maddow. I'm AMP'D for Capitalism!

Right on. If indeed it was satire, it would be so brilliant. Do we know it isn't? My bet is with yours though.

I'm a Brit that recently married a lovely Chinese lady and have to say I'm a little worried about this movie. You Americans get all shooty when you get scared (much easier than talking, comprimising, sharing) and this is just going to feed into it all.

...the orginal version look like The Seven Samurai...Let's face it- the logic behind the invasion in the original is wonky as hell- great popcorn flick, but logical, it ain't. So now, the Chinese are going to destroy their own economy and financial standing by invading the U.S.?...Yeah, right. The Chinese are just getting us where they want us so they can run rampant around the Pacific Rim while we watch and do not much of anything about it...

Not worth it

got Mahmoud to cop to a building a second plant and is successfully rallying major powers against him. I'll bet he's secretly talking to opposition leaders inside Iran too, to weaken Ahmadinedjad.
I give him an A- with a curve for all the shit he has on his plate. Now let's get some healthcare reform done and bump up the score, Barry. -
Blame this movie.
-
To give credit to the original movie, the opening crawler does portait a world in a slighlty near future where there was conditions enough to justify the russian invasion of USA, as the USa were totally isolated form the rest of the world and russia suffered a terrible drought and needed farming land urgently, and because neither the USa or USSr were open for dialogue and commerce, the russians took a desperate action.I'm a left-winger guy, pretty much a real left-winger, of the type there isn't in USA, and i really like the original Red Dawn. There's a quality to the movie that surpasses whatever political differences i might have with John Milius. Basically, it's a good movie.
-
All they need is to call in the loans. Then, both China and Saudi Arabia would own the USA, with Canada, Germany and France as minor partners.
-
It's about time the USA finally understand they do not own Asia. tha tpart of the Pacific Rim has it's own overlords. WWII happened a long time ago, you ar eno longer justified to think you own the place or that the asian natives owe you anything.

to read all the anti-American bullshit. You bet we suck. What a stinking shit-hole of a country this is. I do really wish that for just a few years we could pull all of our interests out of the rest of the world. All of them. If there is some disaster or catastrophe the rest of the world is on their own. Pull back all the military and bring them home. Whacko nut-job dictator invading your country? Tough. Go ask France for help. Gigantic tsunami/volcano/earthquake devastating your populace? Call up China and have them send the humaitarian aid. Nobody else in the market to buy all your electronic goods? Why don't you buy them yourself. We'll get back to making our own and buying it domestically. Like we should have been doing all along. I know I sound like a raving lunatic, but as a citizen it get's discouraging to be part of a population that does try to be a good partner with the world and get mostly criticism in return, if not outright hatred. News Flash: ALL of the world's governments are corrupt to some degree. We're just the most famous. Oh yeah, this flick might be OK.

to see the right wing as apoplectic and pissed off as I was from about Feb 2002 till...I dunno, let's call it October 2005. After the 2004 election and Katrina I just had outrage fatigue. Dick Cheney could have ass-raped a 10 year old boy on TV while gutting a still-live kitten and I couldn't have managed to get angry.
Sooner or later the right wing will end up in the same place. So I have only two comments on a political discussion in the one place I hoped to avoid it: 1) How's it feel to be on the other side, fuckers? 2) Does EVERYTHING in this country have to be about hating the other side for not thinking like you?
Oh, and as for Red Dawn...why? Just why? They should just do a remake of Roadhouse. That movie is BEGGING for Keanu. -
Don't know if this is germaine, but I am not a right winger. Maybe I wasn't the one you were talking to. Sorry if I was mistaken.
-
Rambo's busting them up.
-
AND FUCK ALL THE STUPID CHINESE.
-
Not specifically you, just the right in general. And I can admit to going through much the same phase as you, but then after a few months you realize that isolationism just ain't practical in this world.
-
...thus, this stupid remake won't truly resonate with anyone outside of stupid right wing-nuts who see the Chino-Russo invasion as a stupid metaphor for Obama subliminally turning us all into communists...
