Yes, they were major failures in the songs your girlfriend might like category. Every other category, not so much.

And being mentally disturbed.   He was institutionalized before the murders. But that was probably because the police were slapping straightjackets on everyone who checked out Stephen King novels rather than strangely violent people who occasionally start fires.

Why does he have to be such a woman about it?

Referring to Give Me Liberty as an obscure Frank Miller comic?  For shame, Astaereth.

I agree completely with this article.  It was my main contention as well.  There were real stakes here, much more than the movie presented.  If they were going to go the lone wolf route, they shouldn't have taken the well-worn track of "one girl, playing by her own rules, against a bunch of stuff-shirted

What is an "awesome" movie? Honestly, itsounds like a category you've made up in order to throw good movies into some sort of 'gutter' because they're not the right type of "good."

Maybe, but we'd have to find some evidence of that occurring.

Yes, I think some of these comments miss the point of WHY people had strong emotions about Bin Laden.  There was a very real sense he slipped through our fingers and that he would never pay for his crimes in any real capacity.  Then, one day, out of the blue the Rock (and later, the news) informs us that Bin Laden is

To me, the torture scenes were not designed to support torture.  To me, the two scenes that stood out as pro-torture, if anything, were the Obama inset and the "How do you expect us to get results without the detainee program?" shot when they were trying to confirm UBL might be in the home.

Please, if you were around in the 1930s and 40s, you'd be peddling the same conspiracy nut BS you are now.

The tone of that bothered me a bit.  I don't think the movie was clear enough about the stakes of such a decision.  The 'counter-point' seemed to be that the agency did not want egg on their faces after the WMD fiasco.  However, the counter-point would really have been total destruction of our relationship with

Your weird one-sided feud with Quentin Tarantino has resulted in you cheering on Spike Lee's idiocy and attacking Cookie Monster and probably liking your own comments.

How many movies are there that seek to be entertaining in a year?   And how many actually are?  5 percent?   Less?   There is an art to making an original, entertaining film.   There is also the fact that Tarantino is a very skilled filmmaker, both visually and script-wise.  You aren't going to find many movies that

Which is an important viewpoint.  But you don't do yourself any favors by draping your comment in THAT level of hyperbole and objectivism.

I think they probably chanted because they were happy a horrible terrorist had been killed.  As opposed to 3,000 or so innocent civilians.  I think you'd have to be some sort of Ayn Rand type objectivist to think there are no shades of grey in between those two events.

It isn't just the time travel.  The time travel is silly, but all time travel movies are silly.

No different?  Really?  Not even a teensy bit of a difference?
