  • Hollywood demands action on gun violence

    First of all, I’m not so shallow and intellectually vacant that my opinion turns on what Hollywood tells me. Secondly, how many of these people have armed security around them when they go out in public? Thirdly, how many of them have spent money that they made from movies which somehow profited from the gun violence culture? Fourth, how many of these vacuous script readers did this because they felt they had to “do something now”, regardless of how ineffectual it would end up? Fifth, if it’s “too late” then why didn’t they do this before now instead of bringing out this video after the election?

    Sixth, what exactly do they think we should do about it?

  • Outrage for Plame, but not for troops

    The Washington Times reports that the US is on alert for reactions from the perpetually outraged Islamists in regards to the portrayal of what they call “torture” in the upcoming “0-Dark-Thirty” movie. But scrolling down the story is the report that a special operator’s name was given to the movie makers;

    The Pentagon inspector general determined this week that Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Michael Vickers provided Ms. Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal with the restricted name of a U.S. special operations officer who helped plan the raid.

    The inspector general referred the case to the Justice Department. The Pentagon denies any public disclosure to the filmmakers about intelligence-collection methods and downplays its level of cooperation with the filmmakers.

    Now, I remember years of incessant outrage over the release of Valerie Plames’ name to the media during the Bush Administration, even though it was Democrat Richard Holbrooke who gave her name to the press, and even though she had been “outed” as a CIA spook in the pages of Vanity Fair months before, but no one is getting upset about the “outing” of a soldier who took part in the killing of bin Laden and now lives a life of guarding against an attack on himself and his family for a political campaign ad? The religion of peace won’t be seeking his death for revenge of the death of their leader?

    It seems to me that this is more of a violation of national security than the outing of a socialite, cashiered covert agent.

  • McCain mumbles something about popular culture

    Because that’s the only thing going in the world today, John McCain and some other Senators wrote a letter to the producer of “Oh Dark Thirty” in regards to their portrayal of the torturing of al-Qaida’s No. 3 leader, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Apparently, they think the poplar opinion that bin Laden’s location was tortured out of KSM, or at least, a way to locate him. But McCain, because there’s nothing else to do in Washington today wrote to Sony;

    In their letter to Sony, the lawmakers said the “use of torture in the fight against terrorism did severe damage to America’s values and standing that cannot be justified or expunged. It remains a stain on our national conscience. We cannot afford to go back to these dark times, and with the release of `Zero Dark Thirty,’ the filmmakers and your production studio are perpetuating the myth that torture is effective. You have a social and moral obligation to get the facts right.”

    Ho-hum. Waterboarding is not torture, I don’t care how you look at it. So get over it, Johnny. My conscience isn’t stained. The issue I might have with the film is that if they show the killing of bin Laden like they did in that POS National Geographic thing, the inaccuracy is glaring. In that movie, the SEAL was shown deliberately double-tapping bin Laden, but according to the eye witness account of Matt Bissonnette in his book, “No Easy Day“, bin Laden peeked around the corner of the door to his room and got drilled without anyone even knowing it was him and it took several minutes for them to report that bin Laden was dead because they couldn’t ID the body because his face was disfigured.

    I mean if McCain has nothing else to do in Washington, what with the impending Obama Tax Hikes and gun control legislation being jammed through to Congress, then he should at least complain about something important in the movies. Didn’t McCain once say that Washington is Hollywood for ugly people – he doesn’t have to live up that.

  • The Bourne Stupidity

    We hear that this, that, or the other Hollywood actor is supposedly quite intelligent, situationally and socially aware, and we are forced to wonder, based on some of a particular actor’s questionable on and off screen activities and behaviors, if that could possibly be true. Such is the current case of Matt Damon who is purportedly one of the smartest actors in Hollywood. Agreed, the intelligence bar is necessarily low there so expectations cannot be too much; which might explain why the cinematic genius of Good Will Hunting has allowed himself to become a useful idiot for foreign interests.

    Matt Damon’s latest film, Promised Land, isn’t just your latest Hollywood flick attempting to demonize American oil companies, but perhaps the first one to do so being financed by foreign oil interests who stand to lose big if the geometric progression of American oil production continues. If Damon’s treacherous, even treasonous, message is rejected in this country, his film’s Persian Gulf money-men stand to lose big. Call it a matter of them putting their money where their trough bleeds. Damon, of course, will have his tremendous payday regardless, at the very real expense of his fellow citizens and all his disappointed Persian Gulf pals .

    As the government announced in the past few days, America, for the first time in decades, is looking at being energy independent due to the hugely increased, North American oil and gas production resulting from the technological breakthrough known as fracking. I won’t go into the details here, but fracking involves the forced injection of water and chemicals into deep geological formations that causes those heretofore impenetrable reservoirs of fossil fuels to give up their petrochemical treasures and allow them to be harvested into the fuel tanks of our vehicles and the giant engines of industry which drive the commerce of this nation.

    The ill-informed but supposedly brilliant Matt Damon is not able to factor those truths into his Big-Hollywood, liberal mindset. He is apparently incapable of grasping these basic physics of oil and gas production which lead to huge changes in the geo-commercial and thus geo-political realities of this world. At a time when America finds herself engaged in a very real battle for her economic survival, Matt Damon has freely chosen to be the spokesman for her enemies. So be it. I have freely chosen to never again spend a single dime on anything with which this liberal zealot is associated. National charities, keep this in mind as there are millions like me.

    Hollywood needs to produce just one more film in the Bourne series, chronicling the inept moves of their misguided, useful idiot of a hero. Call it The Bourne Stupidity.

    Now that one I might watch…

  • Flesh Wounds; the absolutely worst military movie ever made

    My satellite remote crapped out this weekend, so while I waited for the replacement, I decided that I’d watch Netflix. Since my favorite movies have to do with the military, I looked for flicks of that genre. I found this totally POS movie “Flesh Wounds” which stars Kevin Sorbo. Whoever their military adviser was on this flick should be run out of Hollywood on a rail. To begin with, they get their mission from this colonel;

    Can you find anything correct on his uniform? What you can’t see is that he has two unit patches on his left shoulder – both full color. He offers the Sorbo character $150,000/per man for the operation, like our troops get paid by the mission, not by the month. Their big, scary member of the team is just a fat, flabby POS with fake tattoos. The dialogue is just nasty gay jokes. You can read some of the half-wit dialogue at the IMDb link. The firefights are a joke.

    If you’re ever sitting around with your military friends and you want to have a contest counting the mistakes in a war movie, this is the one you want, if they can still see the movie through tears from laughter. I have no idea what the movie is about, I turned it off after the first firefight.

    Someone should lose their job over this POS.

  • SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden; a review

    I watched the Harvey Weinstein “documentary” “SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden” so you guys don’t have to. The New York Times was right – it was an Obama campaign commercial. I doubt that it had much impact on the election, but I’m pretty sure that was the intent of the director. Obama narrates much of the movie – interspersed from beginning to end. The movie opens at his inauguration speech and ends at his announcement of the killing of bin Laden. The part that pissed me off most was while he was narrating during the training in the Kill House when he said “We’re going into Pakistan…” like he was going to be a mouse in the SEALs’ pockets.

    The killing of bin Laden is at odds with the eye witness account “No Easy Day” written by Matt Bissonnette. Bissonnette wrote that bin Laden stuck his head out of the room he was hiding in while a stack of SEALs was coming down the hallway when he got shot, but the documentary has the SEALs breach his bedroom door and double tap him. The killing of Kahlid bin Laden is at odds with the book, too. The SEALs were repeating his name as a question to each other as to his identity and Kahlid thought they were calling him. In the movie, they were intentionally calling his name to get him to stick his head up.

    The movie also muddles Bissonnette’s version when the SEALs immediately know that they killed bin Laden. Bissonnette wrote that it took a few minutes to identify him. So you can believe who you want, but I’ll take Bissonnette’s word over Hollywood.

    As far as the quality of the movie, I think it totally sucked. I’d rather watch “Act of Valor” for the fourth time than watch this POS even once more. Besides having to sit through the propaganda again, the acting was horrible and the story contained too much unnecessary BS. Like two SEALs rolling around on the floor and fighting over who should be the leader of the team. WTF?

    Just so you know, if you don’t trust my word and want to inflict this movie on your fertile brain, it’s on Netflix. You certainly don’t want to waste any money on it.

  • Weinstein and cast defend bin Laden movie

    I’ve seen reports that say the Harvey Weinstein project due to be broadcast on PBS two days before the election about the bin Laden raid has been edited to make Mitt Romney look bad, but I haven’t seen it, so I don’t know, but the Stars & Stripes says Weinstein and crew are denying it;

    National Geographic Channels CEO David Lyle says the film was indeed recut – but to show less footage of the president than an earlier version of the film.

    “I think the end titles run longer than Obama’s time on screen,” Lyle said.

    The movie has been accused by conservatives of having a political agenda in part because of its Nov. 4 premiere date and its backing by Obama supporter Harvey Weinstein. On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that a copy of the film provided to the paper showed that it had been recut to strengthen Obama’s role.

    Fox News reports this about the movie;

    But rather than focusing on the heroes who carried out the mission, President Obama now takes center stage in the film, with voice-overs, still photographs and archival footage being added after “SEAL Team Six” was purchased in May for a reported $2.5 million by Harvey Weinstein, a big supporter of the President.

    Not only that, Meghan O’Hara – a producer for Obama supporter Michael Moore’s films “Fahrenheit 9/11,” “Sicko” and “Bowling for Columbine” – was the one hired to gather that extra footage.

    A report in the New York Times said the new footage serves to “strengthen Mr. Obama’s role and provide a window into decision-making in the White House,” a move the report says will “bolster claims that the 90-minute film amounts to a political stunt.”

    Indeed FrontPageMag.com called it an “Obama Infomercial From Michael Moore’s Favorite Producer” which they say is essentially “about the man that sat on his ass while they (SEAL Team Six) risked their lives.”

    Those reports are at odds, so I guess which ever side you’re on, the movie is not going support your view. I tend to believe the New York Times report, in this case, but I guess we’ll see.

  • Roseanne Barr says you’re “on the dole” (UPDATE)

    I don’t usually care what the Hollywood crowd thinks politically, either way, which is why I never mention Ted Nugent or any of the others. But I guess Roseanne Barr didn’t get the word from Michelle Obama that the Left is supposed to be nice to military families. I got the link to Twitchy on Facebook from Michelle Malkin.

    The Twitchy link tells the story of Barr going off on how we’re all racist because we don’t support Obama, and how if we aren’t really racist, we’d legalize pot. Yeah, I don’t get that one either.

    But eventually, a Navy wife gets under her skin, and Barr goes off on something about how all of us in the military and our families are “on the dole”;

    i knew you were on the dole-as are all ppl who think like u! living off tax $ forever.

    Yeah, I’d like to see her summon the intestinal fortitude to say that to someone who isn’t working for their “tax $ forever”.

    I just thought that it was interesting that she let the veil slip for a second. I’d been hoping that she was in that stupid-ass “Got your 6” campaign ad, but she wasn’t. But she should be out of work soon, if she’s not already. From the Got Your 6 website;

    All of the major entertainment studios, broadcast and cable networks, talent agencies, and guilds are uniting to launch this unprecedented awareness campaign aimed at changing the conversation in our country with regards to veterans and military families.

    I guess “changing the conversation” hasn’t reached the ears of this Twinkie-gobbling asshole.

    UPDATE: In case you missed it, Mr. Hanson had Twitterly intercourse with she of porcine heritage.
