Posted earlier this morning on the IMDb.com Message Board Entertaining, but pretentious and cliched Before I get to my criticisms, I have to give this movie its due and admit that it was pretty entertaining. There is not one minute of this movie where you will find yourself bored. OTOH, given how expensive movies are [...]

Sin City
This is without doubt the dirtiest, sleaziest, ugliest, grimiest, slimiest movie I have ever seen. It makes Pulp Fiction look like Mary Poppins. To watch this movie is to flush yourself down a commode and spend two and a half hours wallowing in a sewer. Indeed, the next evening, I had to watch two wholesome, [...]
Space travel
Space travel. I’ve thought about space travel. A LOT. I used to read books about it and even met one of the authors once in Tucson. The problem is this – how do you design a vessel that can travel to the stars? The problem is the immense distances involved. The nearest stars are four [...]
Abortion is evil
Abortion is evil. There is a special place in Hell for abortionists, a place where your face gets shoved into broken glass and your eyeballs are ripped out of your skull with fish hooks. Even hardened Mafia members won’t commit abortion. Even Satan won’t murder unborn children.
Sally Hemmings – America's first queen
She brought a sense of style and justice to the American system. Beutiful and talented, she was Jefferson’s first love and buying cialis online bore her children.
Great Rock Bands – Motley Crue
Gawd, these guys kick ass! They were the Real Deal on the 1980′s hard rock/heavy metal scene, and made other bands like Guns & Roses look like a bunch of poseurs and sissies. No one partied harder or lead a life of wretched excess like these guys did, and their music reflected their lifestyle, with [...]
Top Gun vs Iron Eagle – Comparing 80's Fighter Plane flicks
I couldn’t resist. On the IMDb.com site for the movie “Iron Eagle”, some guy posted that it was a much better movie than “Top Gun”. Needless to say, I wasn’t going to let generic viagra price that stand! So I posted the following reply: Top Gun – MUCH better, in EVERY WAY. 1. TOP GUN [...]
My arguments against "Bishop" John Shelby Spong
For those who don’t know who Spong is, he’s an Episcopal Bishop (now retired) who has made a career of shooting off his mouth on the subject of God and religion. He has written a number of books, and has become (unfortunately) rather influential, at least within left wing “Progressive” religious circles. Anyway, I felt [...]
Eyes Wide Shut
“American Pie” was better There is supposed to be some deep, maybe even profound, message to this movie, but, for me at any rate, I sure couldn’t find it. Indeed, my recollection of this film, which I’ve only seen once, on Pay-Per-View shortly after it came out, was that this was basically really high class [...]
Poetic Justice: "Che" bombed, "Braveheart" got Best Picture Oscar
Posted earlier today on the IMDb.com website for the movie “Che”, filmed by a famous director whose name I won’t dignify by mentioning here. Apparently this movie (well, both of them, actually) completely bombed at the box office. Outside of a few ex-hippies and leftie grad students at Berkeley, no one saw this movie. And, [...]
