Absolutely stunning. He was just on Hugh Hewitt's show last night talking about how David Shuster was libeling James O'Keefe and then the discussion turned to all the Eighties New Wave music he liked like The The and Depeche Mode. He used to retweet the hate tweets people would send his way; now no one will ever hear from them. Considering his devotion to exposing the violent biases of the liberal media, this is a gift the Left doesn't deserve. So sad.

It'd be easier to take this review seriously if Mr. Nolte had been able to notice that Harold is MARRIED, not merely engaged. Considering what a nutcracker her father, Machete, is, it's ludicrous to think he'd let his daughter shack up with a Korean (it's interesting to see the minority-on-minority racial animus here; it's not just White Devils getting picked on) and trying to have a baby out of wedlock.

For a raunchy stoner comedy, it's interesting to see how many anathema to Hollywood things are shown:

* Work is shown as respectable. Harold isn't self-loathing for working in finance. Kumar is portrayed as being a loser for not working.

* Religious practice isn't mocked. No one disses the family for going to church.

* A Jewish character from the first movie is revisited and has converted to Christianity and is much happier. This sets up a mild "cheap Jew" joke at the end, but it's a gimme, not a bash.

* That there's a downside to chronic drug use (see what I did there?) is discussed.

It's not a great movie, but a fun, cute movie that made me laugh. Neil Patrick Harris KILLS in his section and the way he continues to tweak his image as crazed horny heterosexual is a hoot. The people hating on NPH are the same intolerant haters who are probably boycotting JC Penny because they hired Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson and give conservatives a bad reputation. She's the most popular daytime TV personality now that Oprah has abdicated her throne, so it's not any desire to force "the gay" upon a helpless nation, but an honest desire to commit capitalism by having popular people associated with your brand.

I give the movie a 6/10. It's worth a rental.

Simmons can't be President since he was born in Israel. Ron Paul's head would explode at the suggestion.

It came out on DVD about 6 weeks ago. I'll bet it's one of those titles Netflix can't rent for the first month, so the author is just getting around to seeing it.

FWIW, I really liked it and I'm not a rom-com fan. My girlfriend had seen No Strings Attached and raged at me about how terrible it was; she really liked FWB as well.

So we're supposed to overlook his fat paydays from Freddie/Fannie, sitting on the couch with Nancy, backing Dede Scuzzyfavabean (sp?), and now his cynical adoption of Occupy Wall Streets anti-capitalist rhetoric because he's the one who can tear up Obama in the debate? Bub, I could wipe out Obama in a debate as well as just about any conservative talk show host and at least a third of the readers of this site. So the hell what?

Jim Geraghty perfectly nailed the hypocrisy of anti-capitalism (read: anti-Romney) RINOs in his Morning Jolt this morning: “We’re hearing objections to private-sector layoffs from the party that wants to shrink government. How do we think all those employees of the federal bureaucracy will get off the payroll — mass alien abductions?”

Well?

As for Ms. Loesch's unsubtle whining that her favored candidate is being mistreated while the candidate she hates is "getting a pass," I've gotten damn sick and tired of the poorly-hidden bias and circular firing squad behavior of the supposedly conservative punditsphere. I wish these people would just drop the pretense of objectivity and flat-out declare who they're backing and all others can pound sand. It's pretty obvious who's shilling for whom, but it's getting hard to find decent analysis without the shilling slanting the prose.

Hanlon took a dump where people sleep with his unbelievably insipid Captain America review in which he mentioned twice how frightened he was by the special effects to create the scrawny Steve Rogers at the beginning. He was so distracted by the seamless FX wizardry, he missed everything good about the movie including the lovely Hayley Atwell. That he has the writing skill of a small mammal that lives near an elementary school means his lousy opinions are poorly written to boot.

I enjoyed Friends With Benefits and if you'd like to know why, hit the link: http://dirkflix.blogspot.com/2011/07/friends-with...

I am getting extremely tired of these so-called "reviewers" spewing their ignorance here. This site reads more and more like a liberal's fevered imagination of what blue-nosed, uptight conservative killjoys are like. Of the three reviews for Captain America here, two have been negative; one whining about off-camera comments about not wanting to seem jingoistic and now this pencil-necked twerp fixated on the seamless special effects used to portray the pre-super soldier serum Steve Rogers. Sorry, Bub, they looked fine.

Chris Evans redefines his career here as he manages to play Steve/Cap as good man eager to help who doesn't let his new powers go to his head. (No getting drunk and dancing around in the suit like Tony Stark did in Iron Man 2.) He wants to fight the bad guys, save his comrades, and is always selfless and Evans doesn't play what could've been spun as a stiff Boy Scout that way. Perhaps its his hair style, but he wasn't the same cocky guy he was as Human Torch. If he didn't nail the tone, the movie would've failed and thus The Avengers would've been in big trouble.

Filled with dedication, patriotism, a sly bunch of film nerd Easter eggs (e.g. "While the Fuhrer digs for trinkets in the desert."), a good period look reminiscent of Raider of the Lost Ark, Captain America is only eclipsed by X-Men: First Class as the best comic book movie of the year. My crabby comic book nerd friend who went with me said afterwards, "I have no complaints about this movie and if anyone wants to complain about the politics, I'll slug 'em."

Not only is this review incorrect in its conclusions, it's frankly sloppy junior high school-level writing. Two whining mentions of how frightened he was by the scrawny SFX and not a word about the luscious and sassy Hayley Atwell? FAIL!!! This review is useless, poorly argued, sloppy and representative of the writer's lack of skill and knowledge. Feel free to ignore anything this hack types.

Bob Probert died July 5, 2010. Niklas Kronwall would be a contemporary Red Wing substitute.

This is what I was about to post. With all the crazy things the Left says, there's no need to force more words into their mouths, especially when errors like this just allow the Left to dismiss any and all other criticism. "You blamed Joy Behar for repeating a term Beck used to describe himself, so why should we believe anything else you say, you Fixed Noise liars!"

The writer's strike had no effect on 24. They were in the process of doing Day 7 in late 2007 when the strike hit, so they shut down and rode it out. When the strike ended in 2008, they finished the season, but it didn't air it until 2009. The writers did fall down on the job after Day 5, but the strike wasn't a factor.
