MOVIE MADNESS AT LEFTY'S LOUNGE

THE FILMS THE FLICKS THE MOVIES suck can’t say suck because a kid might read this are no good anymore.  American films flicks movies are too gay, unamerican, and unpatriotic for any ungay, ununamerican, patriot to see. That is why box office receipts are down.  Who says so?  Tammy The Bruce.  Today's movies can go to hell. Or France.

So you can take your gay sheepherder, noble communist supporting reporters, big-business is evil, Americans are hopelessly and inherently corrupt and violent and unfaithful movies and go to Cannes.

THE HERETIK COULD not agree more with Tammy The Bruce. Tammy may or may not be related to Robert The Bruce, the Scot with issues about the morality of being a traitor to his own kind and people in that flick film movie The Braveheart by Mel The Gibson.  You may remember The Braveheart, the musical where men made war and love in what look suspiciously like skirts.  Tammy The Bruce  may or may not be in favor of any or all of those things.  Mel The Gibson is making his comeback from the bank his movie about the First Coming of Jesus and may not be available to save Hollywood from itself for another year.  What are America and Tammy to do?  Where is our home born hope?

WHAT AMERICA NEEDS is a return to its roots.  And who better to lead us there than a man with foreign roots? More action fare featuring brainless violence is what the people want.  Arnold needs to come back to his first job. Or his second job.  The one after he was an um bodybuilder, posing in a small suit that well displayed his large um talents.  Lead us, Arnold, to moneymaking movie Mecca. Bring us to the Hollywood Holy Land of Profits, if not prophets.

THE HERETIK PROPHESIZES that the profits and cash would soon be back in LA LA land and Tammy The Bruce might be happy then too. No more too gay, unamerican, and unpatriotic American films for ungay,  true American  patriot Tammy Bruce, whom The Heretik was surprised to see  calls herself  an openly gay, pro-choice, gun owning, pro-death penalty, voted-for-President Bush progressive feminist.  Must be a pro family family thing. It seems more than just Robert The Bruce was conflicted. Quite a story and a movie could be made of Tammy The Bruce’s life. But if the movie of Tammy The Bruce got made, it sounds like Tammy would be the least likely to see it.

MORE MOVIE MADNESS The Most Polite Blogger Echidne has a text message up about Syriana.  Richard Cohen lists Syriana in the Who’s Who or What’s What of Hollywood’s Crude Cliches, which is not the same as Hollywood’s Refined Cliches It's impossible to summarize the plot of "Syriana." Most reviewers have called it complicated, often using the term as a compliment. I can tell you from firsthand experience that you will never know what's going on.  SYRIANA?  Smeariana !

CONGRATULATIONS If you made it this far, you are probably ready for your beverage of choice at Lefty's Lounge. Leave a link and have a drink. Chat about whatever you like. Zeit Geist is serving behind the bar.  Special prizes for whoever knows the recipe of the J. Edgar Hoover Highball with an additional bonus if you know what goes in a Roy Cohn cocktail.

Is Tammy the definition of confusion and/or contradiction? Good stuff, 'tik!

[The Heretik]

Conflict is essence of story. Must be quite a story there, Catherine.

No comment. Did you see Pepper's post about the beer bonging Grandma, classic!

[oldwhitelady]

But if the movie of Tammy The Bruce got made,
How many of us would go see it?

[Rex Kramer, Danger Seeker]

Seen it. Bruce Almighty was classic.

Evening all. Talking of side-swapping weasels, who saw Biden on Charlie Rose last night? The transcript costs $10 I don't have (public braodcasting for the unpoor public) but what I recall is here. He says he likes Bush and would think Bush would be a Great President if he would only ditch his bad advisors. I bet Biden and Lieberman get along jest fine.

Regards, Cernig

I hope she's not related to Lenny Bruce. Because he was freakin awesome.

Update on the Patriot Act renewal. This will happen if the Senate votes as the House did today.

Police state here we come...

Police state here we come...

Banana Republic!

Russ Finegold has promised to lead a fillibuster to stop passage of this compromise version of the Patriot Act, and Harry Reid has also signed on. This Spector approved compromise doesn't fix what's wrong with the act, a succesful filibuster will demand that new negotiations be opened up.

Good idea to call Democrats to tell them to get on board; they count calls, honest they do.

Tammy Bruce is one of the only rightwingers who makes me want to slap her; not even Anne Coulter produces that sense of outrage and disgust. She is so patently dishonest; she doesn't even bother not to sound like a crude, unfunny parody of every rightwing cliche of the last two decades.

Read the comments, too; so sad; people who literally can't think straight.

I think I'll concentrate on my certain knowledge that Tammy will burn in hell for all eternity.

[The Heretik]

I was going to comment over there, Leah, but I figured up I would have gotten deleted. So I posted this over here. Oy.

And curious how the filibuster move might go. As Frist has indicated he would not allow it for the Alito nom. Up and down vote. Blah, blah, blah. Oy.

Just another case of "Lost the Plot After 9/11"

Night Bird, I don't shop at Banana Republic. Their lower-end affiliate Old Navy is closer to my price range.
