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 855 Views
Which is just as silly, yes. *NM* ironclad - 05/01/2010 08:48:55 PM 387 Views

LOL...~hands Dannymac a clue~ damookster - 06/01/2010 04:51:43 AM 973 Views

trespasses against persons is subjective. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:09:22 AM 826 Views
Actually, it isn't. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:46:30 PM 724 Views
ah I wasn't aware you were referring to a legal term LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:37:10 PM 787 Views
Considering that it's made-up BS, why should it be? Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:01:31 PM 756 Views
what about those not capable of walking away? LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 03:51:10 AM 693 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 943 Views
You are not wrong LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 04:43:55 PM 766 Views
Re: trespasses against persons is subjective. Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:12:57 PM 773 Views
but it is wrong to deny the legal ramifications of marriage LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 04:19:02 AM 878 Views
Civics & economics 101 Cannoli - 10/01/2010 08:47:07 AM 883 Views
okay, I can agree on your points LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:14:32 PM 694 Views
That's not Economics 101. That's practically Anarcho-capitalism. Ghavrel - 13/01/2010 11:54:22 PM 723 Views
Duh. Cannoli - 14/01/2010 03:00:56 AM 723 Views

Apaprently I misread your earlier post. Very good points. *NM* Ghavrel - 19/01/2010 01:17:01 AM 368 Views
I'll agree to the trespass against persons imlad - 09/01/2010 06:07:29 PM 782 Views
What bullshit you write. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:30:02 AM 700 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 387 Views
uhm...nothing in nature shares with all. LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:28:04 AM 749 Views
So what you're saying is people shouldn't take movies to heart ? AgentOrange - 06/01/2010 01:39:21 PM 783 Views
That's just the point. Dannymac - 06/01/2010 04:15:48 PM 876 Views
Precisely *NM* ironclad - 06/01/2010 04:45:58 PM 403 Views

would you have felt better if they were albino aliens? LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:16:20 AM 749 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 811 Views
Yes well, it's a habit I picked up from the rest of the posters. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:41:51 PM 841 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 821 Views

That's totally what it is, hah beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:57:10 AM 860 Views
See...that's where I'm different. Jeordam - 08/01/2010 03:33:30 PM 728 Views
I suppose the lesson is to not read about celebrities' politics? beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 06:22:10 PM 630 Views
But that's kind of the point... Jeordam - 08/01/2010 06:51:05 PM 755 Views
Uh oh, you used the "c" word... Dannymac - 08/01/2010 07:47:40 PM 850 Views
I hate it when you sound like an actual preacher LadyLorraine - 08/01/2010 10:03:28 PM 745 Views
Aw, I liked some of those sentences. Ghavrel - 08/01/2010 11:07:15 PM 686 Views
Isn't that a Bible quote? *NM* Legolas - 09/01/2010 12:33:51 AM 387 Views

Yup, Romans 8:31 Darth_Katie - 09/01/2010 11:36:46 PM 662 Views
it's not that it was bad LadyLorraine - 09/01/2010 01:01:21 AM 806 Views
That seems like a pretty dangerous philosophy. Gher - 09/01/2010 06:24:35 AM 827 Views
Agreed. It also sounds absurd. I have +2 Armor of Christ. How about you? *NM* Tom - 10/01/2010 06:42:24 PM 371 Views

You have to admire the world building though LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:27:13 AM 676 Views
Both of you are more or less right beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:59:34 AM 693 Views
He DID write the original screenplay, I thought? LadyLorraine - 08/01/2010 10:04:07 PM 715 Views

You're looking at it from the outsider point of view LadyLorraine - 08/01/2010 10:12:15 PM 732 Views
I don't buy it. Gher - 09/01/2010 06:29:07 AM 761 Views
