C'mon folks, flaming troll bitter about his life...nothing to see here. Move along, move along.

Great film with some great quotable lines and great characters.

"Shut up, Donnie!"

"The Dude abides."

"That rug tied the whole room together."

From the article, about the ACORN scandal and accompanying video:

"ACORN was embarrassed when some of its workers seemed too helpful..."

Err, a little bit of an understatement, methinks.

No, I didn't miss the point. It matters not whether you are telling the truth or not. If some nut latches onto it and attempts to injure other people or themselves, they are a troubled person doing horrible things. The truth of the matter is not the point. For example, the people who shoot abortion doctors and bomb their clinics, are anti-abortion advocates responsible for the actions of these people? My point is disturbed people will find causes to attach themselves to whether it be eco terrorism or the superiority of one race over another or one religion attempting to dominate another, etc;

First time I saw this in college, I just sat there, shocked at the ending. I remember thinking, "This is what good cinema can be." I loved this movie.

I can see the good people of Memphis saying "No, that isn't far enough away! Farther, farther!"

Ugh, thanks for reinforcing my use of an iPod and if I want to discover new music, I'll do it on the internet or in music culture magazines like Paste or Relevant.

Great article, Mr. Nolte. But I will have to disagree with you on one point: this tragedy could have still happened even if this disturbed person hadn't latched onto the eco-lies of "An Inconvenient Truth". He might have just pledged himself to some other cause, real or imagined. Troubled people are still troubled people.

Even so, I am sick of this alarmist entertainment posing as "pseudo science" that Gore and his ilk parade around. Recorded human history has only existed about 3000-5000 years, right? The changes they talk about in their models took thousands or millions of years to affect the changes they claim are happening now. How are they sure that this is not some normal, cyclic pattern the earth goes through?

As smart as we humans think we are, we are constantly being shown that what we think we know is wrong...until it's proven that the thing we were wrong about is actually right, five years later. Hell, we don't even know all the ends and outs of our own bodies, as we constantly learn from the medical community.

I forget, are eggs bad for us or good for us right now?

Burn Notice is one of the best shows on TV right now, in my opinion. I wanna be cool like Michael Weston.

That hasn't stopped Obama from blaming the previous administration for his woes (unless it's an off handed and very hypocritical comment on Bush having the right vision for Iraq) or others for slamming the Tea Party or Glenn Beck or Christians or conservatives or any other entity they hold with disdain. Give these people a platform and they will use it to push whatever agenda they hold dear or bash those on the other side of the ideological fence.

As someone who is a fan of TCM and the behind the scenes anecdotes and back stories of classic Hollywood, this book sounds like something I will need to check out. Like some of the things I've read here so far and I'm looking forward to reading the forthcoming excerpts.
