in retrospect, dong's question: 'How this period piece won the majority of
the votes', continues to peck at me. i must admit that i had already seen it before and had prior knowledge that it was crappy, so this is why i didn't choose it, but i suppose if you hadn't seen it before, then you couldn't know of the torture to come; still, at the risk of arousing the 'wrath of the great and powerful Oz', i can't help but wonder why the 'fearless leader' put this movie in his group of selections. not that he should feel obligated to 'justify' his selection, but if he doesn't, he leaves the said justification up to interpretation, and my interpretation is that our 'fearless leader' has an affinity for torture.

your humble follower,

When Reese said torture, the first song that popped into my head was 'It's Torture'-by the Jacksons, courtesy of Sony Music, as our group leader is fond of nostalgic songs a la the Rolling Stones. Wasn't the Fearless Leader in Bullwinkle and Rocky? As I recall, he too was very adept at planning and machinations. [Read into this what you may, but the moose and squirrel were always a step ahead of the Fearless leader] That being said, this movie/psa/antique has generated enough negative responses. No justification should be made for any responses, if there should be no justification for the movie selections made. I say, when can we vote on our next selections? I want to move on from this initial experience as soon as possible. The sooner the better!

Dear humble follower,

 

You cannot expect to know vastness of the great leaders knowledge. Who knows why the members made the choices they made. Does the fearless one have the power to control our memberships minds? I cannot confirm or deny that allegation for that is only a rumor. Reefer Madness could have been the selection because it just sounds funny. (Can you even say Reefer without giggling a little? Who says that anymore?) We already know that smoking reefer rarely causes madness. I think your question is irrevelant. What the members think of the films after seeing them is the what matters.

 

Since I am the fearless one I will tell you why Reefer Madness was one of my nominations. I had never seen this film before but the title is something that we have all heard for most of our lives. Reefer Madness is not just a movie title it has been the in the headlines of several news stories and the butt of even more jokes. This film was actually a spotlighted "Creepy" film recently on the Independent Film Channel. I recorded the movie and then nominated it because I wanted to see what all the hub bub was about. Your fearless leader knew Reefer Madness would be corny and over acted because many movies of that era were corny and over acted. I also knew Reefer Madness was a great example of failed goverment propaganda and I thought that would be great topic of conversation for the group. Do you want more, "I laughed I cried it changed my life... It was a tour de force... That was an Ocar worthy...?  

 

For other members as stated earlier you have no obligation to explain your nominations. You should feel free to choose what you want because I founded this group to find out what others think and what others peoples interest are. Please feel free to nominate Ernest goes to where ever... Just make sure the films you choose are films YOU are interested in seeing or examining.
 

In closing I want to leave you with these words:

 

REEFER  REEFER  REEFER  REEFER REEFER REEFER REEFER  REEFER

Now doesn't that make you feel just a little bit better.

 

As Dr. Laura says, "Now go take on the day!'

 

Your fearless leader the who still loves his malcontents,

 

Brian Slaughter

i think i said the reason i picked the movie because as you say it was "lame." why do we have to move on becasue you didn't the movie. all the members have not commented on this movie yet. From the comments made so far I need to delay your selections as long as I can.
