Mastidon From BNAT: VALKYRIE!!

First! by hypnotron	Dec 21st, 2008 04:10:23 PM
Again?
This is my 2nd first this week alone... by hypnotron	Dec 21st, 2008 04:10:57 PM
Merry Christmas!
Titty fuck time! by Fa Fa Fooey	Dec 21st, 2008 04:11:04 PM
Where da Windex at? Oh...wait, you're not Scriptgirl.
Looks like a good movie too... by hypnotron	Dec 21st, 2008 04:11:47 PM

I am a geek by Taklamakan	Dec 21st, 2008 04:19:15 PM
and I wasn't crazy about Risky Business, and greatly disliked Jerry Maguire. But I will still see Valkyrie.
Um... by KDog629	Dec 21st, 2008 04:21:35 PM
I fully expect Valkyrie to be a really good movie, and I love Tom Cruise's on screen persona. His point lost some steam, though, when he deputized Charlton Heston into the argument. Charlton Heston was a BIG actor. He was a LOUD actor, but I don't know anyone who'd call him one of the greatest actors of all time. Charlton Heston was fun to watch...kinda like Shatner with better opportunities. But I'd feel REAL good about suggesting that Cruise's portfolio of work already outshines Heston's.
hmmm... by macheesmo3	Dec 21st, 2008 04:24:20 PM
You obviously don't know a damn thing about Heston. He marched with MLK on several occaisssions and was one of the loudest voices in forcing hollywood to begin to do more positive depictions of other races on movies. He was a real force in the civil rights movement. So perhaps thoughst should'st researchest a wee bit before you start just slamming someone you don't know shit about. Guns don't kill people , assholes do.
Let this be a lesson for you all... by UltimaRex	Dec 21st, 2008 04:33:42 PM
...If you ever see macheesmo3 enter a Indian restaurant then run. Do not stop. Do not look back. Just run.
Heston in hell? by Le Phantom	Dec 21st, 2008 04:36:56 PM
Heston is a hurtful son of a bitch who should burn in hell for making some gun right comments at an inappropriate time? Excuse me, but THAT comment is fucking nuts! And hurtful! I guess that means you will be roasting marshmallows in hell next to Heston then you moron!
odd by malcolm_mccallum	Dec 21st, 2008 04:43:00 PM
I expected some part of this review to have actually said something about the film. In one breath he says that we should overlook Tom Cruise's personality and background when judging a movie and then in the next breath talks about how this movie is somehow worth seeing because it shows Nazis as bad guys.
Tommy and scientology by Le Phantom	Dec 21st, 2008 04:45:02 PM
And another thing....Tommy does much more damage being an outspoken front man for Scientology! An insidious brain washing cult that tries to rip off people's money and brings all their legal guns to bear on anyone who Publically condemns them! That is far more fucked up and hurtful then someone speaking on a Constitutional RIGHT!
HESTON NOT IN HELL by Earthquake WestCoast	Dec 21st, 2008 04:57:14 PM
We don't know if he committed any mortal sins. If he did commit a mortal sin, then we don't know if he confessed them and asked God for forgiveness. So who are you to judge what's in a person's soul? Who are you to judge if someone is in hell or not. You just make yourself look like a loser. Have a nice day.
Heston by kwisatzhaderach	Dec 21st, 2008 04:57:45 PM
was a legend. The Cruiser is a flake.
"I can tell you from my own personal experience that Germans eve by crackerfarmboy	Dec 21st, 2008 05:06:54 PM
"They will rarely question authority and will follow orders." Wow, what an ignorant statement. Ever heard of Stanley Milgram's Obedience study? ALL people follow orders. It's not just a German defect. At any rate, the move sounds great.
Who here has been bullied by Scientology anyway? by Damien Chowder	Dec 21st, 2008 05:18:41 PM
None? I thought so, so shut the fuck up. All this bad press is from the media and just shitty word of mouth from unproven sources. Whats the point in calling him nuts outta nowhere!? Nothing to do with the movie what so ever. Crazy! Has Tom Cruise told people outright to join the cult? Nope? Again shut the fuck. The guy is a happy human so until all Scientologist terrorise us or do a mass suicide or something, prove they are crazy instead of jumping on the Tom Cruise & Scientology hate wagon.
Resume by Le Phantom	Dec 21st, 2008 05:18:51 PM
Cruise has nothing in his past, present or future that can match Heston's work in "Ben Hur", "El Cid", "The Agony And The Ecstacy" or "Will Penny"!
Damn You Michael Bay by MCMLXXVI	Dec 21st, 2008 05:28:28 PM
Damn You Michael Bay
Chowder head by Le Phantom	Dec 21st, 2008 05:29:30 PM
Spoken like a true Scientologist you chowder head! I am bothered by soliciting scientologists ALL of the time in LA! Anyone ever been asked to take the test to see how many little space aliens you have inside you? They solicit money under the guises of many misleading and phoney companies! Many people have been sued by the lawyers and have had their lives ruined! A little headline for you buckwheat...You don't have dead space aliens trapped in your body, there is no evil galactic overlord named Xemu! And L. Ron Hubbard was not a prophet or savior, he was a fucking lousy sc-fi writer with a fake war record!Scientology is a fucking cult that operates like a pyramid scheme...the top guys get power and make tons of money!
Heston in hell = nipples on Batman by The Dum Guy	Dec 21st, 2008 05:30:24 PM

Heston in Hell? Fuck you ignorant douche. by jimmy_009	Dec 21st, 2008 05:42:03 PM
Hurtful son of a bitch? To hope someone is burning in hell in a movie review sounds a lot more fucking hurtful you piece of shit.
.... by The Dum Guy	Dec 21st, 2008 05:44:08 PM
This review reaks of bad karma... on multiple issues.
Le Phantom.... by CullenisPrime	Dec 21st, 2008 05:50:46 PM
How is that any different than how christians act???
"It's rough and tumble, it's wild and woolly and it's a blast!" by JackPumpkinhead	Dec 21st, 2008 05:54:56 PM
Here's your quote for the posters. Remember the source?
By the way, is this Mastidon guy Jondough? by JackPumpkinhead	Dec 21st, 2008 05:57:51 PM
I remember about two of his reviews, and they, along with this one, were as informative, entertaining and well-composed as Jondough's...
Huh? by Le Phantom	Dec 21st, 2008 06:12:04 PM
I was waiting for someone to bring up Christianity! Why didn't you bring up that wonderfully loving and benign religion Islam! To be honest, on some level you are right...they are all fucking nuts! Extremists usually are! Whether it is religion, Star Trek fans, Ain't it cool bloggers, you name it! Regardless, Tom is still a marginally talented nut, Scientology is a dangerous cult and Mastidon started it by wearing his emotions on his sleeves rather that do a straight review! and Stengah...your writing and thought are a credit to our fine public school edukation!
Mastidon is Jondough's Husband by BroVinny	Dec 21st, 2008 06:20:01 PM
I can't think of anything hurtful Heston did, and bringing him up added nothing to this review. Mastidon has a serious axe to grind, and the PTB here gave him a bully pulpit from which to grind it. Boo! Hiss!
Mastidon by Toonol	Dec 21st, 2008 06:31:08 PM
...is an ass. Please don't publish anything he writes ever again.
I am choking on the stupid comparisons... by Sithtastic	Dec 21st, 2008 06:33:17 PM
I don't know if Mastidon was being deliberately "controversial" but the Cruise/Heston comparison was...well...in word, stupid. Heston was a legend for his time who had as much an interest in standing for what he believed in as much as he was an "actor's actor" if I may use a term. Cruise by contrast is a pretty boy associated with a questionable-at-best cult, whose best work would be better appreciated if he would mute his offscreen persona, which never fails to generate controversy at seemingly the exactly wrong time. Lose the chip on your choulder and let's stick to reviewing films on their respective artistic merit.
Nutbag? Really? by Rogue4	Dec 21st, 2008 06:36:21 PM
Hasn't enough time passed for us to ease up on what was a pretty exaggerated and ridiculous pretense to begin with. The dude jumped on a couch and acted like a rude arrogant prick in one interview. Wow, what a maniac! I think we can pick a better pariah.
Wow. Another writer on AICN pushing their agenda for the world. by RetroActive	Dec 21st, 2008 06:45:06 PM
What's the difference between you and Cruise again? Or telling us what to think about Heston's post-mortem status? Or how all German's think? Hey, I've got an idea. Why don't you guys just talk about the movies you watched instead of your narrow-minded b.s. about the state of the world and its citizens? Considering you watch movies for a living, which is pretty cool but not that challenging of a job, why are you lecturing us on world affairs? Try to enjoy life a little bit. And the next time you review a movie, an actual review would be appreciated. Thanks!
Sithtastic by mastidon	Dec 21st, 2008 06:49:22 PM
Actually I was being deliberately controversial because if you read the talkbacks in Merritcat's review, all they talk about is what a wacko Tom is. And that is not an issue as to whever this movie is any good or not so I drew upon my BNAT example as I knew the reaction it would have. The issue is did Tom do a good job in this movie? And the answer to that is yes.
Why is Chuck Heston burning in hell? by JackIsLost	Dec 21st, 2008 06:53:23 PM
Because he owned a rifle and was head of NRA? Really? What a moron this reviewer is. He is right about one thing--Heston was an awesome actor. See his portrayal of The Player King in Branaugh's "Hamlet". He is masterful. As for Mastidon--fuck off.
RetroActive by mastidon	Dec 21st, 2008 06:56:05 PM
I wish I wrote about movies for a living, instead I am an IT guy who happens to live in Germany. For your reference, I am not spreading my "narrow-minded BS" but simply expressing my experience from living in the country in question for the past 9 years. Once you venture outside of your birth country and move somewhere else, then talk to me.
Waco by Le Phantom	Dec 21st, 2008 06:58:20 PM
So, people call Tom a nut so you decide to ratfuck Heston? Makes as much sense as Scientology! Heston should burn in hell, but no mention of the wackos who dressed up like Matrix characters and shot up a school! Tom Cruise does a good job in some movies...so what? He still is not worthy to carry Heston's Planet Of Tge Apes loin cloth!
So what does Heston have to do with this film? by mrfan	Dec 21st, 2008 07:11:17 PM
Pretty sad review from a sad person. He should stay in Germany. PS. Cruise is a wacko. I enjoy some of his movies but the man is still a nutcase.
what does heston have to do with scientology? by alice 13	Dec 21st, 2008 07:29:30 PM
its a mad gnorglynizer!!!!!!!
My personal opinion by CoffeeShop	Dec 21st, 2008 07:43:30 PM
No matter what you think of Cruise, the movie was pretty dang good. Cruise was good (not great) in this film, but he was definitely elevated by the fact that everyone else around him was absolutely superb. Eddie Izzard has shot to the top of the list of my favorite actors in the past few years, and certainly didn't let me down with this performance. Even if this review wasn't well put together, the film is worth checking out.
Branagh Has Done Nazis Before... by stanton29	Dec 21st, 2008 07:51:59 PM
He was superb as Heydrich in Conspiracy. A very disturbing movie featuring Nazis sitting around talking and eating. It was the essential beginning of the Final Solution.
If the reviewer wanted a better comparison... by JackIsLost	Dec 21st, 2008 07:59:29 PM
for Tom Cruise, he could have used Hitler himself. After all, we all know Hitler was a fantastic painter. "He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon! Two coats!"
Your problem Mastidon is that you're jealous by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Dec 21st, 2008 08:28:18 PM
of Heston, who by any definition was a real man. Read his autobiograhy, or read a biography on him if you think his own story is so slanted. Here's a guy who worked hard, got a few good breaks, and the rest is history. But, he also was a generous, kind, and loving man who marched for ending segreation long before it was fashionable.
Jerry Maguire? by HoboCode	Dec 21st, 2008 08:30:10 PM
Who of us doesn't like it? I'm guessing just about everyone.
Heston in Hell by Thrillho77	Dec 21st, 2008 08:34:51 PM
Now that is one movie I wish would have been made before the man passed away. Opportunity lost. He would have grabbed the devil by the horns and kicked his face in.
the man made fantasies of Heaven and Hell continue.. by quantize	Dec 21st, 2008 08:40:24 PM
...we are judged IN THIS life for what we do IN THIS life...we dont know shit one way or another what happens after..most likely nothing. Either way Cruise, Heston..whatever - people are not all ONE thing or ANOTHER. just like most of the assholes here are not necessarily ALL BAD or ALL GOOD.
Accents by chavee	Dec 21st, 2008 08:44:11 PM
I live in Dresden and I'm really curious to see how the movie sounds dubbed in German. Hmm see it in English first or in German?

So, you´re an IT guy working in Germany. In what kind of one-horse town exactly? Man, you need to get out more. Seriously.
I came here for the Scientology hate by MurderMostFowl	Dec 21st, 2008 09:54:06 PM
Those guys have gotten a free pass for far too long. They're like the cazy rabid homeless person of religions... they're so wacky that most people just walk away and try to avoid them, but if you get too close they might bite and then you have to get the painful shots in the stomach. OK so maybe it's not exactly like that, but it's close. Fucking alien energy signatures stuck to your body, and nuclear bombs dropped from jet planes into volcanos. That's a religion I can BELIEVE IN! (TM)
good job AICN, what an horrible review by the milf lover	Dec 21st, 2008 10:11:26 PM
It's actually not even worth being called a review. Not only does this tell me nothing about the movie other than Singer did a great job directing and "this is a story that everyone needs to know", but it also manages to shit on its star actor Tom Cruise, and more randomly and needlessly insult Charlton Heston too. I wouldnt mind it so much if the rest of the review was worth reading. What's with this site lately? It's like Harry's new mandate is to have contributors stir shit up any way they can, because nobody working here can be bothered with trying to come up with anything intelligent to say.
Stengah by Le Phantom	Dec 21st, 2008 10:30:10 PM
Must have struck a nerve my foreign uneducated friend! I served 12 years as a Navy SEAL, fought in 2 wars and was shot at in 5 countries! Finer degenerates than you have tried to kill me and failed...Any time you want to have a go at me with a rusty pipe, feel free...I need a good workout!...PS - That's Mr Pussy to you!
i didnt understand much of the first paragraph by BMacSmith	Dec 21st, 2008 10:46:14 PM
but i agree accents in movies set in other countries is pretty stupid. i doubt shakespeare bothered with it much in his plays. Either go all the way with subtitles, or let th actors speak normally. accents are dumb.
Don't tell merritcat they taught you about this in middle school by thebearovingian	Dec 21st, 2008 10:54:42 PM
Her brain might explode. "What?! You can't be fucking serious! US schools don't teach this shit! And if they did they probably said that it was a group of American spies and not actual German Nazis who tried to kill Teh Fuhrer!" And why the digs at T. Mapother Cruise? It's not the elephant in the room. We don't give a shit. We did, however, want to read an actual review of the movie. And what the hell is the Charlton Heston stuff?! Seriously? Really? Seriously? LAME-O.

Stay in Germany, asshole by criticalbliss	Dec 22nd, 2008 12:23:09 AM
Heston was a real man who stood up for his beliefs while you liberal pansies just hold out your hands or turn your heads including on civil rights. Heston actually put his money where his mouth was and marched for civil rights. Eat shit, you spineless bitch. As for Cruise... Who cares about Scientology? I think what rubs people the wrong way is his arrogance, not his religion. He's a pretty boy and not even worthy of mentioning in the same review as Heston. Though I do think that occasionally he can act.

Mastidon - You Are Indeed A Dumbshit by DudeOne	Dec 22nd, 2008 01:14:21 AM
"For your reference, I am not spreading my "narrow-minded BS" but simply expressing my experience from living in the country in question for the past 9 years. Once you venture outside of your birth country and move somewhere else, then talk to me." Well, how about me? I lived in England for eight years! So I qualify, don't I, to criticize your vitriolic diarrhea of the mouth about one of the greatest actors of our time?? That you are a total jackass and just want to hate on Heston? What happened, Heston got more babes in the flicks that you'll ever even talk to in your whole life? Thought so. Oh, by the way, I have friends all over Germany who would cringe at the thought that you live in the same country as they do.
Mastidon calls Cruise a nutbag... by Breotan	Dec 22nd, 2008 01:39:50 AM
And then goes on an insane rant about Heston. Seems Mastidon is more zealous about his politics than Cruise is about Scientology. The irony is that Mastidon proves Cruise is wrong about one thing. Some people really do need psychotherapy. As for the actual bit about the movie, I don't see anything new or insightful here. In fact, I see very little that can actually be called a "review" of the "movie". Mastidon likes the movie and is okay with the way the transition from German to English is done... and that's pretty much it. Golly, geepers. AICN has really dropped their standards. Anyone remember Hunt for Red October? Remember how they started off speaking Russian and then shifted to everyone speaking English? I guess Mastidon doesn't. Pffft... whatever. I'll dig around for reviews with a little more substance and a little less hard-core political tangents. Shouldn't be that difficult.

Mastidon - Fucking Nutbag by masteryoda007	Dec 22nd, 2008 03:26:04 AM
I'd say you are more of a scrotum than a nutbag.
I know where you're coming from Mastidon... by scottishnutjob	Dec 22nd, 2008 03:55:53 AM
...But people get upset when you start talking about condemning their favourite actors to hell cos apparently they haven't heard of dinosaurs and evolution. People don't kill with cake, they kill with guns, so let's have more cake and less guns. I definitely view Heston in the same light as Cruise. Both very talented, iconic actors, in incredible films who ruined their own legacies by making their bizarre and harmful beliefs public. Can you imagine the partner you love suffering postnatal depression making anti-depressants and then having to watch an overpaid Hollywood nutsack on the television jumping up and down on a sofa telling her she was an irresponsible mother for trying to help herself and should come off her meds and join Scientology instead? So you can't really watch their films without thinking of their flaws and the many others who may have been hurt by their ignorance. Ben Hur is still an awesome film and Cruise has many great films to be proud of; Eyes Wide Shut, Magnolia, Minority Report, Jerry Maguire, Vanilla Sky, Goldmember, Last Samurai, Collateral, Interview With A Vampire, Mission Impossible, Born On The Fourth Of July, Rain Man Legend, Top Gun, The Color Of Money etc... And I'm sure Valkyrie will be amazing [trailer looks amazing] but I'm also sure my money will go straight into Scientology's pockets. So I'm going to pirate this and encourage others to do the same.

As an American living in Africa by Xiphos_2	Dec 22nd, 2008 04:45:45 AM
I say mastidon comment about living in Germany is about as important to a movie review as my being in Africa. That is, it's not important at all. As a matter of fact its about as useful as a tits on a boar hog.
and stick to making films like this & Usual Suspects by oldshit	Dec 22nd, 2008 04:57:06 AM
he can be a great film maker or keep making shitty comic movies, and as a film maker he only lacks the ability to inject humor in the films he makes. In Usual Suspects & Valkyrie he dose not need it, in Superman & X-Men he dose. He should stick to dramas and thrillers, I'd turn up for those.
I happen to think Tom Cruise is awesome. by Knuckleduster	Dec 22nd, 2008 06:03:43 AM
The guy is quite simply a great movie star. And yes, he can definitely act. Magnolia, Interview with a Vampire, Eyes Wide Shut, Collateral, and all the other movies Mastidon mentioned. He knows how to entertain an audience. Also, I think his nose is sexy. That mole on his cheek bothers me a bit, but I won't let that stop me from enjoying one of his movies.

Worst. review. ever. by Rocco Curioso	Dec 22nd, 2008 07:44:24 AM
And how the FUCK do you draw a comparison between Chuck Heston and Tom Cruise? That's quite a reach. Heston, the epitome of a manly man, and if not a remarkable actor... a remarkable screen presence over 5 decades. Cruise, an aging prettyboy buttpirate with all the acting substance of cotton candy. Forgive me if I fail to see the common ground there. Here's my one Xmas wish, Santa: that Mastidon never, ever again post a movie review here or anyplace else on the Internet. Thanks, big guy.

Wasn't that whole review just a bit pointless? by Brody77	Dec 22nd, 2008 08:23:51 AM

Valkyrie looks ok, but seriously.... by Orbots Commander	Dec 22nd, 2008 08:51:19 AM
...who the hell is going to go see a movie about Nazi Germany around the holidays? Even if it is a good suspense thriller, is anyone seriously going to take the wife and/or kids to the multiplex around Christmas, to watch a drama about Hitler's attempted assassination? If this movie tanks, Cruise can blame the wrong-headed release date.
Orbots Commander by mastidon	Dec 22nd, 2008 08:54:03 AM
I agree 100% with you. Not my idea of an XMAS movie. Bu then again, HELLRAISER 2 HELLBOUND opened on XMAS and I paid to see it on that day. So you never know how audiences will react.
Mastidon, yeah, but... by Orbots Commander	Dec 22nd, 2008 08:59:21 AM
...you can make the argument that the Hellraiser movies are over the top escapist entertainment for teenagers and college students who like a good scare. Valkyrie is selling itself, via Cruise on talk shows, as a historically-sort of-accurate thriller/drama about Nazi Germany.
fanboy71 by mastidon	Dec 22nd, 2008 09:00:24 AM
Thank you for giving yourself to public service to protect us. As for guns, look at Canada. Everybody has one. Nobody said guns are bad. IMO what is bad is the way Heston and the NRA would show up to hold conventions right after a tragedy would happen in the very place it happened, thus causing those people more pain. That is why I think he should be burning in hell.
Orbots Commander by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Dec 22nd, 2008 09:01:17 AM
I don't know if the studios were thinking about this, but remember Hannukah is a major Jewis holiday. So maybe they're hoping that along with rest of the crowd this movie might have some impact with the Jewish community. A movie about an assasination attempt on Hitler, the man with only one ball who tried to exterminate an ethnic group. If I were Jewish I'd be all over this.
Grammaton, maybe... by Orbots Commander	Dec 22nd, 2008 09:08:13 AM
...but as a studio, would you risk your tens of millions of dollars of investment, possibly $100 Million, on a historical drama with unappealing subject matter and plan to turn a healthy profit just off the returns from one religious group attending your movie? Seems a huge risk to me. Now, if Valkyrie were a much smaller budget character drama affair like Doubt that's based on a prize winning play with a built in audience and opening in selected theaters, Valkyrie may have made back its money.
I didn't know the price tag was that high, but by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Dec 22nd, 2008 09:14:22 AM

If I were running UA, as is Cruise... by Orbots Commander	Dec 22nd, 2008 10:20:37 AM
...I would have asked Bryan Singer to add another big action set piece to the movie, and release it in 2009 as a late Summer, August, serious minded action thriller. Think, The Fugitive or Eastwood's In The Line of Fire. It would probably have raked in major bucks, likely more than it would now.

JeZeus! by seppukudkurosawa	Dec 22nd, 2008 10:54:31 AM
You guys sure are drunk on your own rhetoric. This is a relatively innocuous review, but one remark about Charlton Heston turns you all into a hissing lynch mob. It's just, like, his opinion, man! And one I happen to agree with. El Cid, Touch of Evil, POTA and The Big Country are all some of my favourite movies, but it can't be denied Chuck was a bit of a wanker. It's easy to say that it's the people behind the guns who are the problem, not the guns themselves, but the statistics (European gun deaths in comparison to American gun deaths) show that up as empty, home-spun nonsense. Fuck your atavistic second amendment up its stupid ass. Charlton was a badass, but also a stubborn, immoral swine for so religiously advocating something that causes so many deaths a year, simply because of pigheadedness. Anyway, that's not the point. The point is y'all need to gain a little perspective here. Stop egging each other on like a bunch of chinless yokels.

As for Cruise being a nutjob - hence why he's an actor by VAWitch	Dec 22nd, 2008 11:18:17 AM
Some actors pull unbelievably crazy characters out of themselves. For Cruise, it seems he's gone the opposite way. He's the wacky job, who plays characters quite different from himself - but the characters are more "real" than he is. Either way, I'll agree he can be a good actor. But I'll pass on about anything to do w/ his real life.

''IMO what is bad is the way Heston and the NRA...'' by Breotan	Dec 22nd, 2008 11:22:57 AM
What the hell does that have to do with the movie?? If Harry or the others had any ethics, they'd delete this review and associated talkback because it DOES NOT MEET THE BAR of being a review. I want to know if the movie is worth seeing. I want to know what makes the movie work. I want to know what problems the movie may have. I want to know who the target audience of the movie is. I want to be warned if the movie fails. I want to know ahead of time if my money should be spent elsewhere. What I don't want is someone taking their five minutes of fame to rant about how they hate this person or that person because of their political views or associations. Cruise's involvement with Scientology won't stop me from seeing a film he's in. The film being a piece of crap will. Heston being a force in Hollywood won't make me shell out my hard earned cash. Reviews telling my why the movie is worth my time very well might. Your opinion of Heston, Obama, Bush, Martin Luthor King Jr, or the Pope isn't relevant to any review of any film, so keep that garbage to yourself or take it to a polysci forum where they like that shit. Here's a tip... nobody cares who you like or who you hate, WRITE ABOUT THE FUCKING MOVIE AND STOP WASTING OUR TIME.

Heston "ovoeracting" by greyspecter	Dec 22nd, 2008 11:32:49 AM
Most of his movies were of a grand epic style, before the subtlety of modern performances. If Heston acted like the Shat nowadays, you could call it 'overacting'. But back then it wasn't. Also, I think the problem most are having with the comment is that you're equating a factually dubious cult created by a scifi writer 40 years ago with the SECOND AMMENDMENT OF THE UNITED STATE CONSTITUTION! All Heston was doing was asserting his constitutional rights! My gosh! Oh, and next time you spout bilge like that, have some actual facts and examples to back up. Then we can have an intelligent debate instead of me instantly jumping to the conclusion that you're a dullard of the first order.
Stengah, by Sick Fixx	Dec 22nd, 2008 11:48:08 AM
Scientology has gotten people killed. Not in a 'I am willing to die for this cause' kind of way. Lisa McPherson died in a 'kept against her will by Scientologist doctors, starved, dehydrated, covered with roachbites' kind of way. All because she was planning on leaving Scientology. She was taken to a hospital for 'observation', but not the nearest one. She was taken miles and miles out of the way to where a Scientologist doctor could keep her for as long as he deemed it necessary. These people are monsters, no better than the Mafia. Don't you dare let Scientology off the hook with that 'freedom of religion' hook they use.

Facts tripping you up Mastidon? by Dark Knight Lite	Dec 22nd, 2008 03:21:54 PM
If hell is where they send people for standing up for what they believe in, regardless the personal cost, then please reserve a seat for me next to Charlton Heston. Civil rights was his cause, both for racial equality and the right to defend yourself. He was a rare individual who took a stand, even protesting in front of a segregated cinema showing one of HIS films. Also true family man who was married to the same woman for over 50 years, which is an amazing achievement by Hollywood standards. Research is a key component of journalism lost on morons who mistake their ham-fisted banging on a keyboard with actual writing. Please find a day job and spare us any further torture.

Mastadon by fanboy71	Dec 22nd, 2008 03:26:32 PM
The reason the NRA would show up after a shooting is to point out that the fault of the catastrophe lies with the PERSON behind the gun, not the gun itself. That should in no way cause further grief to anyone who lost a loved one. I am sure they help out in ways which you have no knowledge of. The NRA is against having guns in the hands of people who should not have them, such as Criminals and people with mental problems. Show me proof of the NRA doing anything hurtful after a gun related catastrophe, or apologize for your remarks about Charlton Heston, a great American patriot.

I agree with you it is the wacko that killed the person who is at fault. However, if for one minute you don't think holding a pro-gun rally just after such a tragedy happened, then you simply have no sympathy for others anymore.

Mastidon: on the NRA/Heston post-Columbine reason... by The Dum Guy	Dec 22nd, 2008 05:37:53 PM
If that is why you think Heston should be in hell. ""At Denver, the NRA cancelled all events (normally several days of committee meetings, sporting events, dinners, and rallies) save the annual members' voting meeting -- that could not be cancelled because the state law governing nonprofits required that it be held. [No way to change location, since under NY law you have to give 10 days' advance notice of that to the members, there were upwards of 4,000,000 members -- and Columbine happened 11 days before the scheduled meeting.] As a newspaper reported: In a letter to NRA members Wednesday, President Charlton Heston and the group's executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre, said all seminars, workshops, luncheons, exhibits by gun makers and other vendors, and festivities are canceled. All that's left is a members' reception with Rep. J.C. Watts, R-Okla., and the annual meeting, set for 10 a.m. May 1 in the Colorado Convention Center. Under its bylaws and New York state law, the NRA must hold an annual meeting. The NRA convention April 30-May 2 was expected to draw 22,000 members and give the city a $17.9 million economic boost. "But the tragedy in Littleton last Tuesday calls upon us to take steps, along with dozens of other planned public events, to modify our schedule to show our profound sympathy and respect for the families and communities in the Denver area in their time of great loss," Heston and LaPierre wrote."" according to http://www.hardylaw.net/Truth_ About_Bowling.html (remove spaces to access)
The Dum Guy by mastidon	Dec 22nd, 2008 07:11:12 PM
I wish that was the only example. For a transcript of what Heston said in Denver, check out http://www.freedaily.com/artic les/990504n1.html However, there have been many cases of similiar events. For example this one - http://www.cbsnews.com/stories /2002/10/28/national/main52718 7.shtml Once again, I have no issue with the right to bear arms. It is the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution after all. What I take offense to is showing up after a tragedy and trying to use that to your advantage while causing pain to others in the process. What Tom does is jump up and down on sofa and makes himself look like an ass. At least that doesn't cause anybody pain except from maybe laughing too hard.

Heston did not try to use that NRA convention to his advantage - but you sure try to use a poorly-written film review to spew hate on people.

Could the next person who reviews this film please just let us know if it is a well made thriller? I don't mean that as a slight towards this reviewer but I see the commercials and it makes me think it might be a movie in the vein of 'The Day Of The Jackal' or 'Executive Action'. I already know the true history/story behind the film, Cruise's personal beliefs and actions, Mr. Singer's history, etc. I just want to know if the movie succeeds as a suspenseful thriller. Thanks.
Also a question for mastedon by dogrobber	Dec 22nd, 2008 08:53:24 PM
(and to be clear I may have missed something in this talkback) but you wrote "As for guns look at Canada. Everybody has one." Who keeps a gun? Out of everyone we know only one person has a gun (a rifle - which they keep in their country home). I genuinely know more people who own curling stones than own guns (which is really sad for me if you think about it). Not trying to start an argument, we all have different experiences, know different people, the statement just struck me as odd.

He almost dies, again, but then we hear the voice like in The Ten Commandments "Charlton...Charlton." This reminds me I need to watch the Oscars this year for the montage of all the great ones we lost this year especially.

Small plans for Christmas - we are keeping it on the DL this year due to the economy.

I haven't seen The Hammer - I'll check it out, but I don't think he'll stir my heart or my loins quite like Amanda Seyfried can. I highly recommend you watch Mamma Mia with any Jihadhists you might come across. That'll have them joing the infidels by the time the credits start rolling (and even the credits are a lot o' fun).

I think I'll wait for you to review Benjamin Button. If its anything like your Valkyrie review, I'll be laughing well into the new year.

Heston in Hell?! by The_Breeze	Dec 24th, 2008 12:22:44 AM
You hope that Charleston Heston is burning in hell? You do realize that you are talking about a man who, as an ultimate A-list actor in a much less tolerant time, risked everything - career, money, maybe even his life - to march with Martin Luther King at a time when good white actors simply did not do that sort of thing. Don't like his gun stance? Fine. I won't argue the morality of gun ownership with you. Suffice to say that it has been an American right for 200 years, one that our founding fathers specifically spoke of, and one that tens of millions of your fellow citizens cherish. The demonization of guns has only occurred in the last 40 years or so. So, when you are talking about something that is viewed as a fundamental right by millions of Americans, it behooves you to recognize that there just MIGHT be some merit to their position, and that even though you may like it, they are still Americans and worthy of respect - or at least civility. To say that someone should go to hell because of a political belief that up to 50 years ago wasn't even in question shows an appalling ignorance and also horrifying intolerance. Old man Heston stood for what he believed in. You may not like some of what he believed in - but you should at least show respect.

My mom believes in gun rights. Does Mastidon want her to rot in Hell? Along with millions of other Americans who feel similarly?

Obviously you haven't read what I wrote. If you had, you would have seen that I am a firm believer in gun rights. What I am opposed to is some wacko showing up to protest for gun rights immediately after a tragedy. Have some respect for the dead and their families.
