I always thought that was just stupid of people (and that includes 3/4 of my family) imlad Send a noteboard - 09/01/2010 05:27:41 PM
Ya know, I don't care for Cruise's religion one bit, and I think he is wierd and batshit crazy. But that doesn't stop me from watching his movies.

I don't like James Woods, because of some of his politics, but that doesn't stop me from watching his films either.

Everything I've ever heard about James Cameron as a person (not his performance as a filmmaker) tells me that the guy is an ass and a jerk, and most people who work with him hate to work with him again. But that doesn't stop me from watching his films.

I don't the Governator's politics, but I watch his movies. I don't like Mel Gibson's religion either, but I still watch his movies.

Get the point? A movie isn't just about the people playing the roles (it isn't even usually PARTLY about that, with rare exceptions), so I don't understand why people let that color their opinion of the movies.

Pure silliness.
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

I don't completely agree, but this is similar to everyone retroactively hating Tom Cruise's movies. Zalis - 05/01/2010 08:47:19 PM 928 Views
Which is just as silly, yes. *NM* ironclad - 05/01/2010 08:48:55 PM 415 Views

LOL...~hands Dannymac a clue~ damookster - 06/01/2010 04:51:43 AM 1045 Views

trespasses against persons is subjective. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:09:22 AM 886 Views
Actually, it isn't. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:46:30 PM 786 Views
ah I wasn't aware you were referring to a legal term LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:37:10 PM 846 Views
Considering that it's made-up BS, why should it be? Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:01:31 PM 813 Views
what about those not capable of walking away? LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 03:51:10 AM 757 Views
Who has the right to say a parent is abusing the child, and what prevents abuses the other way? Cannoli - 10/01/2010 09:13:45 AM 1008 Views
You are not wrong LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 04:43:55 PM 823 Views
Re: trespasses against persons is subjective. Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:12:57 PM 828 Views
but it is wrong to deny the legal ramifications of marriage LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 04:19:02 AM 952 Views
Civics & economics 101 Cannoli - 10/01/2010 08:47:07 AM 942 Views
okay, I can agree on your points LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:14:32 PM 758 Views
That's not Economics 101. That's practically Anarcho-capitalism. Ghavrel - 13/01/2010 11:54:22 PM 786 Views
Duh. Cannoli - 14/01/2010 03:00:56 AM 780 Views

Apaprently I misread your earlier post. Very good points. *NM* Ghavrel - 19/01/2010 01:17:01 AM 401 Views
I'll agree to the trespass against persons imlad - 09/01/2010 06:07:29 PM 850 Views
What bullshit you write. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:30:02 AM 752 Views
He's such a parody of himself, one wonders if he's not a fake identity created by rightists. *NM* LiterateDog - 10/01/2010 05:14:31 AM 419 Views
uhm...nothing in nature shares with all. LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:28:04 AM 808 Views
So what you're saying is people shouldn't take movies to heart ? AgentOrange - 06/01/2010 01:39:21 PM 841 Views
That's just the point. Dannymac - 06/01/2010 04:15:48 PM 938 Views
Precisely *NM* ironclad - 06/01/2010 04:45:58 PM 432 Views

I completely disagree with you about Avatar. Tom - 06/01/2010 02:18:22 PM 891 Views
would you have felt better if they were albino aliens? LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:16:20 AM 820 Views
You really have a habit of missing the point of my posts in the name of snide remarks. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:47:36 PM 870 Views
Yes well, it's a habit I picked up from the rest of the posters. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:41:51 PM 910 Views
It's just simplistic. Like a Disney movie, but no songs. What really bugs me is that the Company beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:48:32 AM 883 Views

That's totally what it is, hah beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:57:10 AM 922 Views
See...that's where I'm different. Jeordam - 08/01/2010 03:33:30 PM 789 Views
I suppose the lesson is to not read about celebrities' politics? beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 06:22:10 PM 693 Views
But that's kind of the point... Jeordam - 08/01/2010 06:51:05 PM 807 Views
Uh oh, you used the "c" word... Dannymac - 08/01/2010 07:47:40 PM 907 Views
I hate it when you sound like an actual preacher LadyLorraine - 08/01/2010 10:03:28 PM 805 Views
Aw, I liked some of those sentences. Ghavrel - 08/01/2010 11:07:15 PM 744 Views
Isn't that a Bible quote? *NM* Legolas - 09/01/2010 12:33:51 AM 416 Views

it's not that it was bad LadyLorraine - 09/01/2010 01:01:21 AM 861 Views
That seems like a pretty dangerous philosophy. Gher - 09/01/2010 06:24:35 AM 889 Views
Agreed. It also sounds absurd. I have +2 Armor of Christ. How about you? *NM* Tom - 10/01/2010 06:42:24 PM 398 Views

You have to admire the world building though LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:27:13 AM 733 Views
Both of you are more or less right beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:59:34 AM 750 Views
He DID write the original screenplay, I thought? LadyLorraine - 08/01/2010 10:04:07 PM 781 Views

I don't buy it. Gher - 09/01/2010 06:29:07 AM 828 Views
