Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Wow, what the hell’s going on here? I thought for sure that in late 2007, if you wanted to put out an America-bashing, “hooray we’re liberals aren’t we so wonderful” type of movie you’d have to be a little subtle about it. A little sly.
Well, perhaps that is so, but someone in Hollywood doesn’t necessarily agree. As we learn from new sidebar addition Yolo Cowboy, CEO of The Roughstock Journal, the “user reviews” on Lions for Lambs are in…and those users are pretty pissed.
Pure Garbage…..
I had the opportunity to see this last week during a free screening (my wife got the tickets through work). I think I was robbed. About 20% of the audience…
TO LEFT LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN HOLLYWOOD…
THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A REALLY GREAT FILM IF THE ENTIRE CAST AND CREW DID NOT HAVE THIS LEFT WING AGENDA AGAINST EVERYTHING MILITARY, GOVERNMENT, AND EVERYTHING ON THE RIGHT….
If you Hate America, You’ll love “LFL”- Awful!!!
I’m sooo disgusted with this film. These are actors (Streep, Redman, & Cruse) who are popular enough to ‘choose their own projects’ and they actually got paid for this Anti-American…
I WANT MY MONEY BACK
HAVING SPENT 10 MONTHS IN AFGANISTAN THIS MOVIE DOES NOT COME ANYTHING CLOSE TO REALITY,THE DETAILS OF THE MILITARY ACTION LEAVE MUCH TO BE DESIRED, AS DOES THE DESCRIPTION OF…
Dripping With Liberal Bias and Lies… F- !
I’m not “pro” war, nor am I “pro” imperialism, but I am defintely “pro” reality, and this film contains zero reality, although it would have you believe that it IS…
And it goes on from there.
Interesting.
This is why I think our next President might very well be a Republican, maybe even governing with a friendly Congress. America’s liberals aren’t known for saying to themselves “okay, that’s enough hard-left visceral liberalism for now, let’s tone it down a little.” They just don’t do that. Hard-left liberalism begats more hard-left liberalism, and hateful liberalism begats more hateful liberalism.
The election campaign of 2008 began earlier than any in modern history. What kind of crap is our most devoted left-wing ideological segment going to be pushing by late October of ’08? What kind of hardcore hippy movies will have come out that summer?
This is not stuff for which mainstream America has an enduring apetite. Maybe in extreme situations “middle America” might get fooled into electing a Nancy Pelosi. Just like you might like wasabi with your sushi…but you wouldn’t like an entire Thanksgiving turkey made out of wasabi, would you. I haven’t seen the movie, but I’ll bet my bottom dollar that this, or something a lot like it, is why you have all those scathing reviews up there. Blue-blood left-wing Hollywood just doesn’t police itself, restrain itself, dilute itself or even show good manners. I’ll save this into my Netflix queue, but I’m not anticipating any major surprises.
The users are complaining about BOREDOM. Uh, the movie’s an hour and a half long. Robert Redford is getting panned…and who on earth has a built-in fan base, if not Mr. Sundance? No, I’m not sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for this thing.

- Lions for Lambs | Political news - democrats republicans socialists greens liberals conservatives | 11/11/2007 @ 22:41Even though New Mexico is a “purple” state, thanks mostly to those “fine folks” in ABQ and Santa Fe, I seriously doubt LfL will screen here, meaning Deep Red Clovis/Portales. I’d be surprised if it does, actually. I’ll let you know…
