Excellent column, sir.

I too saw it last night, and there's no political pandering or race-baiting in it, which was a very pleasant surprise. Judging from the trailer, one might expect the same old white guilt trip that we've come to expect from Hollywood about issues like this, but there's nothing of the sort.

I watched The Hurt Locker with my roommate who is in Army Reserves, and roughly every five seconds he said, "that's wrong. that's wrong. that too. yep, so is that." I'm amazed that both of us finished the damn movie.
Maybe the best thing to do with the upcoming film, presumably titled "How Barack Obama Killed Osama With His Bare Hands And Stopped The Rise Of The Oceans Too," is to ignore it when it hits the theaters. Raise hell about the frightening implications of the White House sharing classified information with a Joe Blow like Boal, but vote with your wallets and stay home. It's guaranteed that if this movie is anything like THL, it will have a box office return equal to that of "The Smurfs" and 200 people nationwide will like it (aside from the leftist establishment), and it will get critical acclaim from all the right people and snag a few Oscars. Pirate it just so you can say that you saw it and be well-informed about it, but don't give these clowns a cent at the theater. Donate your ticket price to the Wounded Warrior Project instead.

As a Christian, my instinctual response to crap like this is to be offended. Not because I'm some thin-skinned prude, but because I hold Christ to be sacred and not to be mocked. Then I realize how pathetic and self-serving it is, and how it's only being done for attention, and I shrug. Gervais isn't a true atheist, he's just another bitter anti-Christian who's deluded himself into thinking that mocking a religion that won't fight back amounts to bravery and edginess on his part.

I'd say that in its own way, Watchmen is my favorite conservative-ish movie (note the "-ish"!). Here's why:
1. Rorschach is the complete antithesis to the Leftist "soft on crime" agenda
2. Ozymandias (the villain) murders millions of people in the blink of an eye to secure his megalomaniacal idea of world peace--and spouts off Leftist cliches constantly, to remind us of his ideology ("Fossil fuels are a drug," "We can make war obsolete," etc.)
for a much better explanation than I can provide, check out what Jonah Goldberg wrote about it first: http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jgoldberg/2009/...
Bear in mind that the film is not -categorically- conservative, but it definitely has conservative themes.

Look at the bigger picture here. Just because Dylan played an "approved setlist" doesn't mean that he's a sellout to the ChiComs. His mere presence in the country, as evidenced by the fan reaction there, can be taken as a sign of solidarity with pro-democracy forces. What is he supposed to do, go into Beijing and bring the house down with all of his old protest songs, knowing that doing so won't get anyone anywhere? The Commies would have forced him offstage and fired bullets into the crowd for cheering him on. Apparently no one here has heard of indirect resistance.

I didn't say that. You apparently missed the part at the end where I said to not get too excited either way about the movie's supposed message, and you obviously missed the part at the beginning where I said that I found it hard to believe that the movie was all that Carl made it out to be. Not that I was completely sure of what the movie said, but that I found it hard to believe. Try reading an entire comment before replying, you know?
