All you have to do is consistently watch the several different programs for about a week.
Do this…and you won’t need a Youtube video to “do your thinking for you.”
Only then will you appreciate that everyone has an agenda.
You can’t be that naive Shaggy. I simply don’t believe that.

“conservatives think that anything that isn’t on Fox News is overly liberal.”
Simply put…not true. Wow. Pigeon Hole much?

“And that premise is predicated on the existence of a liberal media, which is bupkis anyway.”
You can’t possibly believe this Shaggy!
If so…
I have some prime ocean front property in Arizona I could be persuaded to part with on the cheap!

Privates that talk back to their DIs are taken for a nice 25 mile walk in the desert behind Camp Pemberton at noon with 50 pounds on the back. And no water. When said private passes out and dies, parents are notified with ” He got lost by himself on a practice warfare drill and failed to carry out his orders to bring water and a compass.” Happens once or twice a year to make an example to any other privates who might think yapping back is OK.

It’s called Method Acting. First he eats some really hard biscuits , then takes a dump, then his hemmorroids Act up and he gets grouchy(er) I think he does get the Oscar for the empty chair, God knows it was better than anything Damon and Pitt could do..

Some dipshit privates do talk back to their gunny.

Once.

Then, if they’re still alive, they “unf**k themselves” and get with the program.

Yeah, and a writer for the Washington Post is not going to be politically motivated or subject to any editorial pressure when writing about something involving Clint Eastwood. Right. Sure. Got it. Uh huh. It may in fact suck (most baseball movies do, including “Moneyball”), but I doubt that the relative quality or lack thereof on the part of the movie has anything to do with the WaPo saying it sucks.

I still don’t intend to see the movie, at least not until it’s out on DVD, but that’s because I don’t like too many movies (the writing, directing, and acting tend to suck) and can’t stand the behavior of the patrons.

The thing that made a League of Their Own such a great movie was that it wasn’t actually a chick flick, it was just a movie about chicks. Chick flicks are awful.

Truly awful. Battleship was about as entertaining as watching two people play the board game. Just more explosions and worse acting.

Heartbreak Ridge was an awful portrayal of the Marines. The thought that some dipshit private would even THINK about talking back to a gunny makes me shudder.

You only see films critics don’t recommend? Hope you enjoyed spending you hard earned money on “Battleship!”

A league of their own was an excellent movie

What are you? So insecure about your man-hood you overcompensat? Or just have no clue what makes good film?

After seeing this movie it is practically required to download and watch the Dollars trilogy just to remind you of what was

this movie was made to be a chick-flick baseball movie but apparently its worse than “A League of Their Own.” That’s all you need to know.

I’m not planning on seeing this movie. I’m a little tired of seeing Clint play the same character in every movie. It’s the same old formula:
Grouchy old man + baseball
Grouchy old man + Asian neighbors
Grouchy old man + female boxer
Grouchy old man + empty chair. Oh, wait, he wasn’t acting in that one? Never mind.

Whats the point of indiscriminately choosing and quoting 2 critics when you can go to Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic and get a real concensus(fyi: its ho-hum middle of the road for this movie).

By: paperlions

Well, yeah. Everyone doesn’t go to the movies for the same reasons.

Some people like to see movies that have no surprises, where you can tell what is going to happen after the first 5 minutes, you look forward to the story you already know is going to happen unfolding, and it doesn’t require you to pay attention or think at all. They are like re-runs you haven’t seen before.

if a critic does not like then that means go see it in my book. I saw it and it was a great movie with great perfomances. the story may seem predictable to some but the fact it works shows that it is good. I know of 3 other couples that saw it and loved it before any stupid reviews so I say go see it. as far as seeing unforgiven aren’t you the same guy accusing me of living in the past because I do not live in the world of saber metrics? but you would rather watch a 30 year old movie than give a new one a chance?

Well it’s been years since I’ve seen the movie, you’ll have to forgive me.

Dude – that’s Matthew “dipwad” Pouliot who hates the Cards. Craig’s pretty even-handed with the Cardinals, from what I’ve seen, even after last season

Yeah, the idea that there is a liberal news media is a myth.

Grant Brisbee and Emma Span’s reviews are politically motivated.

They were both seen talking to an empty suit when they released their comments to the public.
