Damn You MCMLXXVI
Good interview, Quint by Bones	Jun 24th, 2008 07:38:31 PM
Stathairn is a great actor.
David Strathairn by Surf Ninja	Jun 24th, 2008 07:38:37 PM
You misspelled his name in the title.
Dalton Trumbo liked Nazis. by MorbidObesity	Jun 24th, 2008 09:26:41 PM
Or, more specifically, he was all for them until the Nazis turned on the Soviet Union. Then the loyal Commie became an FBI informant. The Left sure chooses themselves some interesting heroes.
Hey, here's good GONE stuff... by MorbidObesity	Jun 24th, 2008 09:50:03 PM
The author of GONE has already posted an opinion on the book's Amazon page in which he complains about a specific AICN poster...and, even better, what the author describes as "a pornographic and obscene round of comments at Aint It Cool News." Christ, what a whiner. At least it's not just AICN talkbackers who consider that GONE promotion to be a disaster.
Proof by Bad LT	Jun 24th, 2008 11:48:18 PM
Proof, please, that Trumbo liked the Nazis and was an FBI informant. I think he went to jail for refusing to name names.
what does Joseph McCarthy have to do with HUAC? by The Skeptical	Jun 25th, 2008 12:49:28 AM
They were completely different legislative entities (Senate vs House), and had no connections that I know of, other than the fact that neither liked communists.
Trumbo: First Blood, Part 2 by Darth Busey	Jun 25th, 2008 07:10:27 AM
I'll wait for the sequel.
Disney's Trumbo, The Flying Elephant by Darth Busey	Jun 25th, 2008 07:20:34 AM
He's coming for you, Reds!
"Proof!" demands Bad LT... by MorbidObesity	Jun 25th, 2008 07:59:10 AM
...with all the confidence of someone who doesn't know much about Trumbo. The guy bragged about being an FBI informant, mostly to counter claims of his being an anti-Semite. Of course, Trumbo didn't care much about the plight of the Jews while Hitler had a pact with Stalin. Once that pact was broken, Trumbo contacted the FBI and reported on truly sincere pacifist groups (creeps that they were). You can't really blame Kirk Douglas for falling for Trumbo's lame con, though.
SEE JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN!!!! by HoboCode	Jun 25th, 2008 08:14:01 AM
I saw the stage version of this in New York with Dennehey i nthe title role. Really something special. Got to meet Brian as well. Really great guy.
Morbid Obesity by Sgt.Steiner	Jun 25th, 2008 08:33:31 AM
Who other than Bill O'Reilly would describe pacifists as "creeps"? Oh right, Morbid Obesity. From what I have heard, he, like President Bush, has given up golf. We here honor the sacrifices you have made in the name of freedom.
Stage version of Trumbo that is. by HoboCode	Jun 25th, 2008 08:37:38 AM

Sgt.Steiner... by MorbidObesity	Jun 25th, 2008 09:11:25 AM
I was referring specifically, as you could easily see, to pacifist groups who were opposing American intervention during WWII. In general, I could call them creeps. Specifically, a lot of them were worse. (Hopefully, some loon won't use this to spread more urban legends about the Bush family. JFK's father was okay with the Nazis, though.)
MorbidStupidity by Paul Bucciarelli	Jun 25th, 2008 09:37:51 AM
There is a world of difference between a pacifist and an isolationist.
Sure, Paul. by MorbidObesity	Jun 25th, 2008 09:53:39 AM
That's a point. Of course, it isn't unusual to find people who describe themselves as both pacifists and isolationists. And it's not difficult to find alliances amongst pacifists and isolationists, as well as isolationists attempting to pass themselves off as pacifists.
You'll have to excuse FATFUCK. by HoboCode	Jun 25th, 2008 10:13:16 AM
His entire worldview is based on his mypopic religous identity.
HoboCode's entire worldview... by MorbidObesity	Jun 25th, 2008 10:22:45 AM
...seems to be based on the grifters of the 1930s. Nice choice. He also seems to be baffled by the concept of an AICN screen name. Hey, look, Hobo! A surfing ninja posted here! Isn't that neat? A genuine surfing ninja.
And, Hobo... by MorbidObesity	Jun 25th, 2008 10:27:33 AM
...I don't have any religious beliefs, let alone a religious identity. That's a nicely moronic assumption, though.
My bad FATFUCK. by HoboCode	Jun 25th, 2008 10:38:38 AM
I must of had you confused with one of the other neocon Jews squatting on this site.
Yes, Hobo... by MorbidObesity	Jun 25th, 2008 10:46:01 AM
...I think we all picked up on how your charges about my "religious identity" were your way of accusing me of being a Jew. Why don't you write to Harry and ask him to require Jewish talkbackers to be identified on the site by some mark next to their name...say, like a little Star of David?
Just the neocon ones. by HoboCode	Jun 25th, 2008 10:47:14 AM
Sound fair?
Sounds like you're a nutcase, Hobo. by MorbidObesity	Jun 25th, 2008 10:51:54 AM
I'd suggest that you look online to see what kind of company you're in when it comes to complaining about "neocon Jews" -- but you're probably already happy to be associated with that crowd.
Fair enough FATFUCK. by HoboCode	Jun 25th, 2008 10:53:45 AM
Let's leave Jews out of this. I have no problem with them. Just Neocons and other Zionists. Tat'em up.
I think we have a sitcom in the making.... by Sgt.Steiner	Jun 25th, 2008 12:49:00 PM
From the creators of "Pinky and the Brain" comes "The Hobo and the Fatfuck". HBO, anyone?
SNEAKERS is an underrated classic by ShiftyEyedDog2	Jun 25th, 2008 03:00:15 PM
Just watched it again this week. I love that flick. Great fun, and Strathairn has a standout performance - no small feat in a cast that's stellar across the board.
