quit bitching. We’re getting another Underworld and Mall Cop.
…i’ve never seen a christian movie worth watching. Gran Torino wasn’t that great. Changling was better…
…in the final scenes of Shoother, on the mountaintop. Why didn’t the bad guy sniper shoot the fake Wahlberg in the head, like all good snipers are supposed to do?

No spotter, probably unstable winds and the shot was by the looks of it taken downhill… on the otherhand the range seemed to be quite short.
The steel plate which he wore would have been of ineffective thickness vs .308 cal. round, hope he wore at least lvl III body armour underneath.
lol.
It was a cool scene but rife with errors… like any professional would use binoculars that have no anti-reflective coating. chk chk

/Thread. Seriously. Go back under your bridge. I was kinda sorta reading this thread until I saw this comment. It’s going to go downhill fast from here, so lets just cut to the chase and call TSB now and let it die before the napalm starts flying any more…[/quote]
C’mon, it was a joke. Do you read what the guy wrote? An anti-business homophobe? The concept is laughable.
Cut an old troll a break there, big gut!!
This is the time of year for sappy, “heartfelt” movies made to win awards that mean jack squat. It’ll be over and done with shortly.

Don’t white Christians ever do anything that a movie could portray?[/quote]
Quality, I appreciate your humor more and more.

That’s a good checklist. I’ll even go so far as to say I won’t watch movies with a moral, preaches about <cause_of_the_day>, or that tries to ‘expand my horizons’. If I wanted to learn something, I sure as shit wouldn’t trust those fucktards in Hollywood to teach me. If I cared, I’d open a book.
That’s probably why I stick to the classics: Commando, Conan, Lethal Weapons, Die Hards, Terminators, Snatch, etc. I’ll stick to the action-adventure, action-comedy, or pure action movies.
Taken is a good movie.

The star of The Dark Knight is a white Christian. He’s supposed to play John Connor in Terminator Salvation next year.
LOL @ “How dare they make movies that people want to see that don’t focus on people who look like me!!!”.

Taken is not a movie. It’s a training video much like Defiance, Red Dawn, and Road House.

Always happy to provide a chuckle. The fact that you chuckled means that you ‘thought’, the encouragement of which is the driving leitmotif of my life.

hahah perfect
I’m just gonna copy paste the counterexample:
Best picture nominees are The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Milk, The Reader, and Slumdog Millionaire?not a single one of which centers primarily on a female character,* and only one of which centers primarily on a gay character (Milk) and only one of which centers primarily on people of color (Slumdog Millionaire).
There were no female producers on any of the five best picture nominees, and no women were nominated for Best Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Score, Best Editing, Best Sound Editing, Best Makeup, or Best Visual Effects. Only one woman was nominated in each screenplay category: Robin Swicord (with a male partner) in Best Adapted Screenplay for Benjamin Button and Courtney Hunt in Best Original Screenplay for Frozen River.
There is not a single woman of color nominated in the Best Actress category. Viola Davis and Taraji P. Henson, both African-American actresses, were nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
There is not a single man of color nominated in either the Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor categories?though Robert Downey, Jr. was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Tropic Thunder in which he plays a white actor appearing in blackface.
There is not a single openly gay woman or man in any acting category, though the straight Sean Penn was nominated for playing an iconic gay man, Harvey Milk.
There are no men of color nominated for Best Director.
For being the Most Liberal Place on EarthTM, Hollywood sure is conservative.

No, it just shows how hypocritical (or merely delusional) liberals really are.

lol @ missing the fact that all but one of the movies nominated for best picture are about white men
btw, measures that conserve a status quo that was based on past discrimination do end up having a discriminatory effect.

You didn’t like my substituting a ‘t’ for a ‘y’, in my last sentence. And I thought it was clever.
Hmmm…to be called ‘profoundly idiotic’ by liberal scum. I am honored, sir.
