Right on man, well done! Thanks for the great take on this.
Nice, thanks for pointing us to a rare breed in today's pop culture.
Although I don't personally care what Gwyneth (or Sean Penn, or Matt Damon) think, this is a good article in that it exposes the pretentiousness of Hollywood thinking. We know it's pretentious, but specific reminders help us remember how dangerous that line of thinking can be.
This makes me want to vomit. How can an Attorney General get away with using the phrase 'my people' anyway? Let a white Attorney General at ANY level try that. This is the most hypocritical jack-leg to ever 'serve' in that office. Disgrace!
I actually like rom-coms, I'm a sucker for them. I think it is largely due to the basic traditional theme that you know they HAVE to make it work, and of course (almost) everyone likes a happy ending. BTW, even in "The Break Up" I think the redeeming feature is that you know there is hope that the relationship could end up going somewhere, now that both characters have had time to develop away from each other.
The lies will continue to become more complex and devious as we head to 2012. The key is to expose them. I was surprised the AP did a 'fact check,' although it certainly could have been much more thorough. But it's a start, I guess...
Just another example of why we may want to consider sticking to traditional marriage as a culture. Doesn't work to be celibate (Catholic priests) and doesn't work to denigrate women to the point where they're a non-entity.
Right on, brother! I'm no vet but have lots of friends & family who serve/d and the guys have to have some outlet. Just like in any other job, only that the job hazards can literally kill you.
Shame he didn't get public funding via National Endowment for the Arts for it, then it may have been nominated for a festival award of some sort. But you knew something was wrong when even Vince Vaughan got hammered for saying something was 'gay' in his latest COMEDY script. Pu-lease.
I emailed our local station after a crime was reported and they described the suspect without naming his color...happens quite a bit here. I finally asked point-blank "Do you guys not mention the race because you feel you have to be politically correct?" and the reply was, basically, "Bingo." Unreal, here a suspect is on the loose and they can't even say if he's white, light skinned, black or whatever. How does THAT help society?
