I didn't my Reilly, and thought the quick, impressionistic sideway glances into their courtship sold the fact that, yeah, those two should never been a coupe, much less a married one with kids. I thought the use of red was a tad much, but then that hysterically morbid soup can shot you mentioned wouldn't have packed the same amount of "oh shit I can't help but laugh" wallop. Amongst my favorite choices Ramsey of Ramsey was what ahe didn't say, but implied; that Kevin was obviously way too intelligent for his school. The only blame society receives is the shunning and shaming of Swinton's character. Many socio/psychopaths can and do make it thru life without mass murder, but Ramsey is able to find fault with Kevin, Swinton and Reilly in equal measure.

Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, these are best bands of our time.<br /><br />The Beatles were a good band, but they didn't rock, they were pop stars.<br /><br />My favorite memory of this band is when Eddie wiped his ass onstage with the cover of a Rolling Stone magazine.BL 72https://www.blogger.com/profile/11379696578572088538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335954474136622227.post-12737924278127018402011-09-15T19:11:00.037-07:002011-09-15T19:11:00.037-07:00Just relieved that nobody asked "What proves ...Just relieved that nobody asked "What proves Palin is a moron?"Bill Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011398543859221282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335954474136622227.post-46191352246891335242011-09-15T18:16:18.349-07:002011-09-15T18:16:18.349-07:00What proves Palin is 'anti-Semitic'?

Her strong support for Israel - the opposite of ostensibly pro-Semitic Obama?</i><br /><br />A Google search for "Sarah Palin anti-Semitic" brings up her calling the media's treatment of her a "blood libel" and being in the audience when Jews for Jesus head David Brickner spoke in Wasilla and said that the attacks against Israelites were punishment for not converting to Christianity. I don't think this makes her anti-semetic. I just think this makes her a moron. More name-calling? I just can't conceptualize how an intelligent thoughtful person could say and do those things. <br /><br /><i>What proves Palin is 'homophobic'? Her belief in marriage as defined by our society and her religion? You know, the same religion and belief as Obama?</i><br /><br />Another quick Google search reveals her daughter using the term "faggot" on Facebook and Palin minimizing the effect. Her church, the Wasilla Bible Church, held a conference about "praying away the gay" and as governor of Alaska she vetoed a bill that would have extended benefits to the domestic partners of gay state employees. Less than one-half of one percent applied for these benefits. This seems pretty petty. <br /><br /><i>What proves Palin is a 'hypocrite'? Oh, her daughter got pregnant and she's against that. And that was _totally_ under her control.</i><br /><br />Well, her teen mom daughter filmed a reprehensible PSA stating how lucky she is to have a support system to help her become a Mom and how you probably aren't so lucky, so you know.... don't have sex. Sex and pregnancy is only for teenage girls whose parents love them and have the financial resources to help them. Palin is anti-abortion and pro-abstinence and then whitewashes the consequences of this position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335954474136622227.post-38711350901650205312011-09-14T14:49:50.416-07:002011-09-14T14:49:50.416-07:00I love when someone is making a list of insults an...I love when someone is making a list of insults and, running out, has to throw a few in.<br /><br />What proves Palin is 'anti-Semitic'? Her strong support for Israel - the opposite of ostensibly pro-Semitic Obama?<br /><br />What proves Palin is 'homophobic'? Her belief in marriage as defined by our society and her religion?

And that was _totally_ under her control.<br /><br />And ugly? Seriously?<br /><br />Palin's ascent doesn't prove anything about a 'cultural vaccuum'. Obama's ascent proves a cultural head-up-your-assedness of our country, as much as the corresponding paroxysms of rage into which your type fly at the mere mention of a successful private and public citizen who doesn't meet your lofty standards of elitist behavior.<br /><br />As always I have to disclaim: I'm not a fan of Palin. But if she was unqualified to be VP, it's sure as Hell that Obama was unqualified for the big chair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335954474136622227.post-10430492261776591062011-09-13T21:02:19.757-07:002011-09-13T21:02:19.757-07:00It seems like you don't like the band that muc...It seems like you don't like the band that much to begin with. How exactly did they "adopt" a political cause with tracks like "Bushleaguer"? If anything they were the first to start the trend of negativity towards the Bush administration. In fact, what other political trends did they hop on to then outside of criticizing Bush? Bands like "Green Day" and "Disturbed" kind of hopped on the wagon a little after. I can understand someone losing interest around the times experimental albums like "No Code" and "Binaural" were made, but PJ has come back with a force with their latest works. <br /><br />And as far as Crowe being a fanboy - don't you think a director who is passionate about the material and knows the band well should be at the helms of this thing? Not every film has to be looked at through objective lenses. If so, what is your take on Michael Moore's films, which are widely accepted as being fine pieces of cinema.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797457853215266953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335954474136622227.post-25113528930337257662011-09-12T06:07:36.942-07:002011-09-12T06:07:36.942-07:00Sarah Palin has enemies like we all do.
