Letters From Iwo Jima will win best picture. This film attempts to portray the Japanese as 'victims' during the second world war - and their soldiers as 'noble warriors' defending the homeland. There's no suggestion that they were the aggressors who deserved the ruin that fell upon them.

It's the type of anti-American filth only Hollywierd could embrace.

Saw Dreamgirls and Jennifer Hudson has the best damned female voice I may have heard in the last three decades.

Pan's labyrinth was very very powerful and the buzz has it as a guarantee for best foreign film.

Well, I wasn't an officer, but I did attain the rank of Master Seargant after eight years in the Air Force. We had JCSE at MacDill AFB, which is Joint Command Service Engagement. I met many Army, Marine, and Navy G.I.'s. So yes, I do have first hand experience of how drunk and disorderly squids can be. Not to disrespect all Naval personal, but you seem to have seperated yourself from the upper classed Seamen.

You seem more upset about our President by far than I am about the mid term elections. You're bitter and shrill just like your liberal brethren. The mid term elections were republicans sending a message to it's elected officials. "Get back to conservative values, or you won't be elected". I think they listened, and learned.

Suck's to be me? There is no possible way you could ever know. You're slinging mud seeing if it will stick anywhere. Nothing else. So, with that, we're going to take this mud slinging into the Steel Cage, because it's not going to continue in these threads. You're welcome to state your opinion as vulgar as you want, without personal attacks. Call me a conservative, tell me I'm wrong, tell me WHY I'm wrong, but keep the PERSONAL shit out of it.

You see, I see it like you see sport. There are favourite movies and actors and performances, and I root for the ones I like, hope they win, and abuse the voters about their lack of movie-going nouse if they vote for the wrong person.

I mean millions of people like NASCAR, and I for the life of me couldn't think of a more boring way to spend my time (other than fishing maybe)...So, different folks, different strokes.

Don't tell anyone but I thought Brokeback Mountain was a pretty decent movie. The cinematography was beautiful and the music was moving. The performances were outstanding. But again, don't say nothing, I wouldn't want anyone to know I liked it.

Hey anyone remember that South Park episode about Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls?

I'm am against homosexuality. I think it's a vile, perverted sickness. I will NOT subject myself to homosexual porn as some sort of experiment. The very thought of the sick sex acts queer men perform on the each other literaly turns my stomach. NO... I did NOT see the movie. There is NO NEED for me to see the movie. It's about FAGGOTS.

I asked if you were one of those guys who reviews movies and passes out buckets of righteous indignant judgmental morality sight unseen... All you had to say was "yes".

I answered your smartass question in all sincerity. Your reply is just more smartass. I'm getting sick of it. I'm going to give you a chance to reply to people whose opinions and views differ from yours in a little bit better tone.

Drop the smartass. Your passing out more than you're getting.

as someone who has seen the movie, and as someone who is heterosexual, I can tell you that your preconceived notions about it are incorrect. that was my point.

oh.... did we miss your 37th birthday a while back? My wife and I were married on New Year's Eve.... funny that.

And I can tell you, my "notions" are not preconcieved. I did read reviews on the movie, that were quite explicit on it's content. It has homosexual SEX SCENES in it, and I've tried to tell you that that turns my stomach, as it does ANY heterosexual that's NORMAL. Evidently you feel men boning each other up the ass is somehow a turn on, or at LEAST you think it's OK. That is where we differ. My opinion is based in nature. You're opinion is based in perversion. Now who's "wrong"?
