The only movie I liked JG-L in was Inception. This movie was not Inception.

And did we do “G.I. Jane” yet?

I want to 3nd bobazine doll’s nomination of “The Lovely Bones.” It didn’t get laughs from me, but anger.

The idea that at the end of all this ordeal, as the rapey murderist is getting ready to do his thang one more time, a magical icicle sparkles because God is suddenly on the Job, and it hits the guy and he falls off a cliff – well, that was presented as a satisfying conclusion to the drama. The guy is not brought to justice. The parents never learn what happened to their daughter. The dead girl has a saccharine voice over about “…I was 14 when I was raped and murdered. And now I’m gone. And butterflies and sunsets.”

It was hokum. They tried to sell the idea of fun magical heaven, but what mortals are after a little more than magic icicles (I think) is a sense that the cries of those in need, in fear, or in danger, might actually be heard. Fuck this stupid movie.

It was a good movie. Not very good, but also not bad. I thought William Hurt was really overwrought in his performance, kind of hammy. Other than that, it just seemed like an update on “Shane.” Not a big deal to get excited about either in admiration or vitriol. And I didn’t read the graphic novel.

right after Obama won his bid for the Presidency, I said that he should go after all the criminals of the previous administration. My argument was that if those miscreants were not punished for what they did, they would have gotten away with it and would be emboldening the next batch.

Well, Obama tried to strike a conciliatory tone. Pelosi said investigating the previous administration was off the table. And Obama tried for two years to win bipartisan support. and look where it got him.

The only gains Obama made were when he ditched bipartisanship and forced things through. Now we’ve got the same cockroaches scurrying back into power. Obama should have put some Bush cronies in prison, even at the cost of his presidency, because the republic demands it, and what good are any of these “gains” if the next President can simple undo it all?

If you can’t tell the difference between loving your sister and wanting to fuck your sister, well amigo, you’ve got bigger problems than finding a state wherein you can marry her.

As to polygamy: why not? Who cares if someone has multiple husbands or wives? Robert A. Heinlein wrote about these extended families with mutual agreements between them, a long time ago, and it only makes sense.

Lots of marriages end in divorce because someone cheats (says Prof. Marriage), and would it be a bad thing if that new attraction was instead brought into the marriage?

These “christians” in the video have got to be kidding. No one is really this stupid, right?
