I was thinking about going to see catch a matinee of The Apparition early next week. Might not be playing anymore by then

In other box office news, Joseph Gordon-Levitt kicks his own ass--as well he should. (i.e. TDKR beats out Premium Rush)

Probably right. 31 reviews at RT & is still 0% positive.

I don't think all Republicans are racist but I do think something Bill Maher once said holds some weight, "I don't think that all Republicans are racist but if you're a racist you're probably a Republican."

Quoting Bill Maher for any form of intelligent information is pretty ridiculous

Yes, because quoting Bill Maher is far less intelligent than quoting Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, right?

Yes, it is. But, even with that obvious truth stated, can you point to any post in this thread where O'Reilly or Hannity were quoted for any purpose?

in this thread or forum? Cuz I'm sure I can find a few from wm lopez.

And I guess this is a bit skewed cuz I live in the south but...yeah, the people I've known to be a wee bit on the racist side tend to be Republican.

The problem is the overuse of that word to begin with, and as a result it's lost any importance and meaning over the years. My coworkers who are on the left see and comment on everything through the lens of 'race'. I just find the attitude repulsive and try to stay way from people like that.

I don't see how that is so.

I would argue that far more intelligent people take Maher more seriously than those two morans.

I agree that the word has been thrown around too lightly towards some that simply disagree with the President's policies.

Bill rocks. He posted this today:

Mitt Romney on Lance Armstrong: Fuck you, France, I don't care if he was riding a Harley, we're America and we never apologize.

People forget that Bill is a comedian. A funny and very INTELLIGENT comedian.

Here's Roger Ebert's review of the film:


http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2012...a_meeting.html

Thanks for the info. Those are in outlying suburbs or cities. The distributors offered no screenings or screeners and did not announce the opening. A 40-mile round trip isn't that easy for me. If they want to spend a couple of bucks to mail me a screener, that would be nice.

I would argue that anyone who follows Maher lacks any kind of critical thinking skills.

I'd say that if you follow Beck, O'Reiley, and Hannity that you're a douche cake.


See, I can generalize too.

Wait, I'm confused, "Premium Rush" is obviously the Limbaugh movie and I think "ParaMormon" is the Romney flick, but which is the Obama movie

5. The Campaign

6. The Dark Knight Rises

9. Hope Springs

10. Hit And Run
