The Deer Hunter, to me, seemed to be directly and emphatically answering to other recent popular war themed movies, such as M*A*S*H with it's almost cavalier and lackadaisical approach. He certainly absorbed some of Altman's best instincts for layering conversational patter over fluidly assembled visuals, but Cimino…

No, you cannot possibly fairly compensate people for the theft of not just their land but of their entire mode of existence. Many if not most of the Palestinians lived in nomadic clans and tribes who roamed ancient routes as they herded livestock and traded with one another and with other peoples. But when the Powers…

The assfucking of Palestinians was seen as a necessary evil at the time of Israel's founding by nearly everyone involved except, of course, for the most devout and faithful Jews who believed that to found a State of Israel prior to the arrival of their Messiah was to invoke the wrath of God and guarantee their own…

Ooo, ooo, I know this one! The difference is… Love!

There's certainly considerable truth to what you say that many of Israel's detractors' have laced their criticisms with varying levels of Anti Semitism, and that's not a good thing, not at all. However, my opinion of Israel as a political entity is a product of the extremely difficult, nearly impossible position in…

I just want to reiterate that he was one Holy Shitsnack of a man. And a damn fine dancer. Also, to hell with prejudice or bigotry, of any kind. Except, of course, against people who hurt animals. And cut in lines. And wear Birkenstocks. Yeuch.

But still not as annoying as Two Broke Girls.

I humbly, and nauseously retract my request.

I'm a trunk builder by trade, and having to work every Arbor Day is the root of my deepest resentment. I threatened to leave, but my boss laughed and said my bark is worse than my bite. She thinks she owns me, but I'm no sap. What wood yew do?

I love dry humor. Especially on Canada Dry Day.

Who doesn't?!

Strapping on their jet powered dildos… I dunno, I'm very hungry.

Me. I wanna see A.A. out of a speedo. Wocka wocka.

So, I'm watching that clip from the original Independence Day with President Bill Pullman making that irresistibly stirring speech to the ragtag rainbow coalition of would-be freedom fighters—my heart swelling with cheaply mass produced pride—and I couldn't help but hope that as the camera panned across the…

Or simply begin thinking. Thinking can change your life!

You're not very good at taking a hint, are you, or maybe you're just desperate for attention, but I already told you that your ideas do not interest me. You continue to spew forth random irrelevant trivia as though you believe you're making compelling and clever points. You're avoiding the crucial fact that more high…

Guns are a tool often used for defense and to preserve law and order, but the absurdly unrealistic—and fetishistic—portrayals in movies, and then TV is a major source of the problem. The US's gun culture became increasingly exaggerated in response to the unrealistic depictions of guns dating back to the beginning of…

Take that idea to Shark Tank!

Whereas Georgie Porgie Puddin Brain and Darth Cheney are ceaselessly rehashing in the press their fabulously clever decision to invade Iraq. They just won't give it a rest…

Here's essentially what you posted: Derp.
