Speaking of Movies and bad science - " The Road"

the movie. Not much of a plot; but some real horrible scenes could be shown
from the book.
The author also wrote " No country for Old Men." I liked that movie - it was
good. A lot of my friends thought it an awful movie though. My wife liked it
too - she likes any movie where you do not know what is going to happen
next.

I will post Schlusse's review for you. She sort of liked it, but I steer
clear of post apocalyptic movies almost always, especially since as a
boy I saw 'On the Beach' and that was more than enough. I saw terrible
and terribly good things all there and I wondered scared as boys do,
what would be.
So Schlussel's general positive review did not move me to go see this
movie on the Thanksgiving weekend, when it came out, or thereafter.... I
can go see it around me and look at newsgroups and other places to see
what happens when love dies, energy whithers, standards decay and
cannibals moan around looking for detritus to feed upon.
Mark
------------------------
* �The Road�: This really bleak movie is hardly Thanksgiving material.
Or new material�what with the plethora of apocalypse movies we�ve
already seen in the past couple of years and on the horizon for the
foreseeable future. On the other hand, it really makes you thankful for
what you have. And this is one of the better apocalypse movies in my
view. It�s at the same time an adventure and a moral tale.
An earthquake or some other disaster has happened that has somehow
knocked out sunlight from the earth. Everything is cloudy, and most
humans are dead or dying. The few humans that remain are mostly evil
and cannibals.
But Viggo Mortensen is one of the good people, and the movie raises the
dilemma: how do you remain good in a world gone bad? A bleak world
where the constant struggle to survive is dominant and you have a young
son to whom to teach good values and the will to survive? As they
struggle to survive and forage in the woods, the cold, snow, and homes
of strangers and the dead, Mortensen does his best to teach his son to
be a good person and a survivor. I liked it for that reason, and for
the message of hope and survival amidst the bleakness, as well as the
subtle religious messages.
Still, there were two part of this movie that turned me off. One was a
very disturbing scene in which naked humans were stored alive as food in
a basement by cannibals. There was blood everywhere, too. The other
was Charlize Theron as Mortensen�s hopeless wife, who abandons her
husband and young son because she says it�s pointless to try to survive.
I�d bet this is how the real-life Cuba-apologist Theron would be, so
there wasn�t much acting involved. Yup, she�s a bitch.

in of snow coming down, as the tv movie, 'Mission to Mars' is now
ending. Lovely story, as such, full of human hope, strength, dignity,
effort, and a story... ok, so, Martians planted what would be the human
dna on earth hundreds of millions of yrs ago as their world was
destroyed, and they were forced to leave for parts unknown in the
galaxy, waiting for the day earthlings would discover their connection
and find more of their mystery.
It's a contemporary adventure, and it's about finding oneself in the
present, the past, and to the future. Okay sort of like what religion
bespeaks beneath and above the plywood, forward back up down east west
etc etc., and so this is my excuse not to do the interminable paperwork
that my work requires. As hope springs alive, I relish the schmaltz and
dignity and effort of the little story.
I note by the way, hope Gary Sinise, who plays an astronaut in the movie
who elects to ship out to find the originals of mars, is in real life a
tremendous contributor to charity to our wounded warriors and gave a
lecture to Brian De Palma who I think directed this one, maybe not, I
don't know, but DiPalma, another hollyweird lefty bs tosser against war,
was given a sobering reminder by Sinise what the meaning of good and
decent means etc. God I like and admise decent men, and people who
understand how important such sobriety and strength really is to
themselves and others.
Now it's mostly gone from places like RMA... which is why it's not worth
much time to hear the cannibals moaning for flesh as they do around

Why Does Hollywood Love Fidel Castro?
By Humberto Fontova
"Fidel Castro is a genius!" gushed Jack Nicholson after a visit with the
Cuban F�hrer in 1998. "We spoke about everything," the actor rhapsodized
further. "Castro is a humanist like President Clinton. Cuba is simply a
paradise!" Jack Nicholson has been saying such things for years now.
Many of his Hollywood cohorts follow suit.
"Socialism works. I think Cuba might prove that" (Chevy Chase).
"Castro is very selfless and moral, one of the world's wisest men"
(Oliver Stone).
"If you believe in freedom, if you believe in justice, if you believe in
democracy, you have no choice but to support Fidel Castro!" (Harry
Belafonte).
"It was an experience of a lifetime to sit only a few feet away from him
(Castro)" Kevin Costner.
"The eight most important hours of my life," Stephen Spielberg
describing his dinner with Castro.
While holding up the book "Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant" on his TV
show, Bill O'Reilly called these celebs "Hollywood pinheads."
But there might be more to these celebrity plugs for a tyrant who jailed
more of his subjects than did Hitler or Stalin than the usual celebrity
vacuity upstairs.
"My job was to bug their hotel rooms," says high-ranking Cuban
intelligence defector Delfin Fernandez. "With both cameras and listening
devices. Most people have no idea they are being watched while they are
in Cuba. But their personal activities are filmed under orders from
Castro himself."
And according to some sources, Havana, given the desperation of its
brutalized and impoverished residents, has recently topped Bangkok as
the world mecca for child sex.
"He [Delfin Fernandez] has not only met some of the most famous men in
the world," says the London Daily Mirror about the Cuban defector, "he's
also spied on them and been witness to some of their most innermost
secrets."
"When the celebrity visitors arrived at the hotels Nacional, Melia
Habana and Melia Cohiba," says Fernandez, "we already had their rooms
completely bugged with sophisticated taping equipment. But not just the
rooms, we'd also follow the visitors around. Sometimes we covered them
24 hours a day. They had no idea we were tailing them."
Famous Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar was a special target for this
bugging, but nothing of value for Castro came of it. "Everybody already
knows I'm a maricon!" Almodovar laughed at Castro's blackmailers. "So go
right ahead! Knock yourselves out!"
"Fidel Castro is a special connoisseur of these tapings and videos,"
Fernandez says. "Especially of the really famous."
And not even his closest "friends" are safe from this bugging. The best
example is Castro's longtime "friend" Nobel Prize-winning novelist
Gabriel Garcia Marquez. In what appeared as a touching act of generosity
and friendship, Castro gave his friend "Gabo" his very own [stolen]
mansion in Havana.
"We had remodeled it right before," remembers intelligence honcho
Fernandez, "and we installed more cables for bugging devices than for
the normal electrical appliances. We taped everything! Fidel doesn't
trust anyone."
Castro's top intelligence people would gather for the screenings of
these tapes almost like Hollywood types for an upcoming movie. "Hmmmm,
these scenes are more scandalous than anything in any of her movies!"
Fernandez recalls a top intelligence officer chortling while watching
the nighttime cavortings of a famous Spanish actress.
"Now it really seems to me, compa�eros," the Castro intimate chortled as
he looked around the room, "that this se�ora should be making more
respectful comments about our regime, right?"
"But famous Americans are the priority objectives of Castro's
intelligence," says Fernandez. "When word came down that models Naomi
Campbell and Kate Moss were coming to Cuba, the order was a routine one:
24-hour-a-day vigilance. Then we got a priority alert," recalls
Fernandez, "because there was a rumor that they would be sharing a room
with Leonardo DiCaprio. The rumor set off a flurry of activity, and we
set up the most sophisticated devices we had."
"The American actor Jack Nicholson was another celebrity who was bugged
and taped thoroughly during his stay in the hotel Melia Cohiba," states
Fernandez, the man in charge of the bugging.
Turns out, however, that at least one visiting dignitary foiled Castro's
intelligence. On his visit to Cuba in 1998, Pope John Paul II's
assistants discovered and removed several bugging devices from His
Holiness's guest house.
Perhaps Castro had a grudge against the papacy. Most don't recall, but
in January 1962 Pope John XXIII excommunicated Fidel Castro from the
Catholic Church. It seemed fitting, considering the hundreds of Cuban
men and boys crumpling to Castro's firing squads while yelling "Long
Live Christ the King!" during their last seconds alive.
Oddly (at first), Hollywood A-lister Charlize Theron traveled to Cuba in
2007 and returned without the paeans to its Stalinist regime that
habitually issue from her colleagues after such visits.
So pigs worldwide started sprouting wings.
During her Cuban visit Ms. Theron helped produce a documentary ("East of
Havana") on Cuban hip-hop artists that cast the Castro regime in a
negative light.
Pigs worldwide started flapping and taxiing down the runway.
On ABC's "Good Morning America," Charlize Theron said: "I think the
(Cuban) younger generation is starting to say, 'You know what? It
doesn't work. We're not happy. We want to have freedom of speech. We
want to be able to travel.'"
By now every pig from Bangkok to Stockholm was galloping madly and
flapping furiously while nearing the end of his runway.
During a subsequent interview on CNN, anchor Rick Sanchez started to ask
Theron about the lack of freedoms in Cuba. She interrupted the question
with the following: "I would argue that there's a lack of freedom in
America."
Whoops!--Pigs worldwide promptly cocked their ears and started slowing
down both their hoofbeats and wingbeats.
"I seem to recall," explained the Academy Award winning Best Actress,
"some time ago some reporters being fired from their jobs for speaking
up on television about how they felt about the war."
"But do you think the lack of freedoms in Cuba are parallel to the lack
of freedoms in the United States?" asked CNN's Sanchez.
"Well, I would," answered Theron. Pigs worldwide now stopped flapping
and cupped their ears in rapt attention. "I would compare those two,"
continued Theron. "Yes, definitely."
Inches from the end of the runway pigs worldwide dug in their heels and
jammed their engines into reverse, thus remaining earthbound. "Ah!" they
squealed. "Now this is more like it!" Their wings retracted and they
returned to their wallows, grunting contentedly.
After many nights of scrutiny and meditation, the best my team of
analysts can determine is that Charlize Theron equates the policies of a
regime that incarcerated political prisoners at a higher rate than
Stalin's, that machine guns to death entire families for attempting to
travel abroad, that mandates (under penalty of prison or firing squad)
what its subjects, read, say, eat, earn, eat (both substance and
amount), where they live, travel or work -- she equates this regime with
a government under which a private corporation owned by stockholders
terminated some employees for violating company guidelines.
OK, so Cuba's a repressive place -- but no more repressive than the U.S.
Charlize Theron made this clear. So let's give her time. As a political
philosopher, she's obviously not shoulder to shoulder with Hollywood's
best and brightest just yet. But she's off to a promising start. By
Hollywood standards her logic seems airtight.

Yes.. I do. It means to prejudge. Like you did when you say, chose bjj
over jjj, or karate. Or when you chose your wife over another women. You
were pre-judging, and being prejudiced.
But you merely McCarthyized the term, like liberal soft tyrannists do,
and misrepresent prejudice for what you demand it mean. It is of course
terribly important to judge not her views but to judge them in context
of movie making. She could play Oriana Fallaci and convince us she's
something she's not. She could play Moses's wife and convince us she's
something she's not. That's talent. But the point of the movie, which by
the way, Schlussel liked enough, was to point out .... irony, of the
participants in the real world and how that impacts upon the meaning of
'apocalypse' movies. Which is a very meaningful point and way to assess
movie's values, values, and how they connect.

That isn't what pre-judging means. "Pre-judging" means, as you say,
"to prejudge" (brilliance award there), LIKE for example BABBLING

Hypocritical? Huh? What the hell are you talking about? You're the one
babbling about jews and what not, defending critics in movie reviews
based on the religious and political content in the review without
having seen a movie, and you call someone a hypocrite for merely
pointing out how ridiculous you sound?

Not at all, utterly incorrect. Those decisions were made posteriori; there's no 'pre' in those

The 'meaning' she's talking about is the meaning *she* is choosing to give it, and it's hers alone.

Prejudice is pre-judging, get it? Judging before the evidence is in hand. Judging without the
necessary interaction. Judging an actress according to her political beliefs is no different to
judging because of race, creed or colour. Jews know a bit about such prejudice.

You fucking idiot Mark.
Let us count the references to jews, nazis, communism, and every other
camp political hitch in this article; I counted twenty major
intellectually dishonest arguments and countless minor ones.
This rapid fire bullshit isn't a review; it hits you with
intellectually dishonest fact after intellectually dishonest fact. It
doesn't give you time to think. It doesn't follow up. It doesn't
explain. I suspect that's why it appeals to you, as you also
habitually throw fact out the window for invented spectacle. It's your

No, that's not what I said. Chomsky has never *been* an Anarcho-syndicalist; he has some sympathies
towards that movement, but he's primarily a Libertarian Socialist. He's reknowned as a linguist and
that's his major contribution. See here's your problem, Mark.
When we talk about Bertrand Russell, you focus on his atheism, or him being a bit of a pants man, as
these aspects of Russell offend your religious paradigm. Do you discuss Russell's monumental
contributions to the foundations of mathematics, or his Nobel Prize winning prose? No, of course
not, because you can't, or won't, or both.
If we discuss Chomsky, you want to talk about is his political leanings, not his contributions to
the study and development of language. Theron has some political views you find unsavoury? You and
your pal Debbie would rather make an issue of that than her acting abilities.
If someone told me Actor X was Jewish, I would shrug and say "So what?" and would have a short fuse
with anyone expecting me to agree with any prejudice based on their stereotype of Jews. So if you
want to point to Cheron's political leanings, just understand the very slippery slope you're
standing upon.

Lost me there. I guess the scene with the dead infant on a spit cooking was
left out. Awful book turned me off to seeing the picture.

i made it rgrough the book so it couldnt have been that bad.
but yeah not alot really happens that would create much of a plat in
the movie.they walk towrads the ocean, meet cannibals, fathers getting
sick, they find bits of food, ocean is toxic.
someone dies...its like life, just kinda goes along.
i like that it wasnt too preachy re the enviroment though, i mean for
all we know a meteor hit and caused the devestation.i like it when
novels dont spend huge amounts of time explaining shit that really
doesnt matter.
its really just about a mans relationship with his son.im sure it was
saying alot subtle, but very subtle cause i didnt notice, then i
really didnt try and notice,didnt dwell on it much
