So … seen any good movies lately?

Went to see “The Wrestler” last night. Good but not great. Mickey Rourke sure has changed since the days of “Diner.” A lot of himself in that character, I suspect.

For the cinephiles out there, what are the five Best Movie nominees, and which should take home the Oscar?

I haven’t seen it yet, but “Milk” would get a lot of support for Best Movie from those in our household who have…

Movies, schmoovies.

Some of my favorite scenes from long ago-

Clint Eastwood- Million Dollar Baby

Clint: You can’t give up and we’re gonna get you through this no matter what it takes, so help me God.

Hilary Swank: But I don’t want to live.

Clint: O.K. drink this.

What a joke.

Cold Mountain was another good one-

Renee Zellwhatever- You men, all you do is fight and kill eachother, bwa!!

So how does the movie end? Zellwhatever fighting and killing other men.

Silly, mindless propaganda.

Sure,Bookman. I saw “It’s a Wonderful Life” at Christmas time. Lovely acting (wish they weren’t all dead). Lovely mushy theme! Never jump off a bridge at Christmas time even with a handy angel! The messages were sweeter than fruitcake and everybody kept their clothes on. They just don’t make movies like that anymore.

Generally speaking I wait until the Best Movie category is named and then make sure to avoid those five. It’s a method that has been proven right far more often than wrong when I finally get dragged into seeing one of them years later.

Too bad it’s such a political thing, much like the Pulitzer, that you can’t trust it to have any real merit.

Really great movies, like Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, never even get a mention.

We used to go to the movies all the time. Not so much any more, it often seems more trouble than it’s worth. Lately we seem to walk out the of the mega-plexes liking the movie alright but thinking how expensive it is.

I grew up going to old movie palaces. Cartoons first, sometimes live entertainment. Double or triple horror features on cold Saturday afternoons. Christopher Lee still spooks me.

Being dropped off Christmas afternoon with all my brothers and sisters, to see the big holiday release with two bucks in my pocket. It paid my way in, got a medium popcorn and small pop AND a box of rootbeer barrels.

What with Mr. G’s manly-man teevee from hell, corn popped the old fashioned way with real salt and butter, my frosty cold pop laced with a smidge of JD and our own comfy couch, movies seem better at home.

Just now getting around to last years Oscar winners.

This is interesting — Among the AJC’s criteria for a CONSERVATIVE journalist:

  • Research and writing to produce an original column for the print AJC three times a week.
  • I can’t recall the last time Bookman wrote a column where he didn’t link to another media outlet’s article. Right now at Bookman’s “So…seen any good movies lately?” Sent everyone off with Patsy Cline crooning on You-Tube last night.

  • Ability to produce work that meets the standards of the AJC.
  • Obviously the AJC’s standards are to succumb to other media outlet’s opinions.

  • Ability to speak to and interact with the public, including speaking before large groups.
  • Well I don’t know how jay does in front of large groups, but deleting comments and banning bloggers works for him here at the AJC.

    Mrs G,

    Your post reminds of me of Saturday afternoons of my youth in the 1940s. My mother would give me a quarter and I and my friends would bike to the neighborhood theatre. It cost a dime to get in, a medium coke was a nickel and a medium popcorn was a dime. There were three cartoons, followed by a serial (where the hero met almost certain death until the following week), followed by a double feature western starring Randolf Scott, Gene Autrey or maybe Roy and Dale. Took about 4 hours to take it all in. Ah, the age of innocence.

    Mrs. G, I agree.

    When I was a tad younger, I remember my family would all pile into the station wagon, go to the Drive In and watch John Wayne or James Bond or whatever. Great memories.

    Then after I joined the service I started watching films indoors! Clockwork Orange, 2001 - A Space Odyssey, Easy Rider and such.

    And at that time of my life I really did believe a little in the Dream Factory. But alas, as with television and music it was all getting ready to tank.

    I’m sure I miss some good movies once in a while, but with all the third and fourth rate junk out there, I’m not into paying a small fortune to see some lousy flick I won’t remember thirty minutes after I walk out of the place.

    I enjoyed Frost Nixon for the deja vu of it all. I see one or two movies a year. The one before that was WallE. I hated it.

    My daughter (23) was the only person under the age of 40 at the Frost Nixon showing.

    When my mama was little the children would each get a quarter to go to the movies. For a quarter, they could get in and get a bag of boiled peanuts. They would watch the movie, eat the peanuts, and suck the salt out of the shells. Sounds like heaven to me.

    I was going through that application form and they want lots of in depth things in some areas, but when it comes to whether you’re a conservative there are two questions. Are you conservative on fiscal issues and are you conservative on social issues. The only choices are yes and no, with no discussion until an essay section further into the form where I guess you could waste your 500 words explaining.

    They also give you you six sections to list the jobs you’ve had in the last five years. This writing game must not value stability too highly. Although considering I contract I guess it’s conceivable I had six jobs last week. I might need thousands of lines to cover the last five years.

    “Do you have unquestionable confidence in today’s media?” That would drastically limit the number of applicants according to the national polls.

    The effort that they (liberals) have put into telling us how the conservative party needs to change, it wouldn’t surprise me if they hire one of their liberal bloggers to subversively go about the task while posing as a conservative columnist.

    Most conservatives I know realize that the Iranian population is more on our side and there are better ways than bombing, but even if it came to armed conflict our military would prefer to take greater risks to their own lives to keep civilian casualties as low as possible.

    It tends to be your side of the aisle that advocates indiscriminate bombing to ensure American casualties are the ones kept to a minimum, foreign civilians be damned.

    Sheikh Kazem Al-‘Unizan: “The Iranians have a plan, and today it extends to Somalia, to the straits of Bab Al-Mandab, to Yemen, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and even to the kingdom of Jordan - they consider Jordan to be a great enemy.

    “The Great Shi’ite Religious Authority, the Martyr Muhammad Baqer Al-Hakim… Was Assassinated By an Iranian Conspiracy”

    “Even the assassination of the great Shi’ite religious authority, the martyr Muhammad Baqer Al-Hakim… He was one of their own, but because he did not implement Iran’s agenda, they sent someone to kill him. When this man entered Iraq, he spoke at the main square - and I was present there myself - and he said: ‘May Allah forgive the past. The Ba’thists are our sons. We forgive Ba’thists who did wrong. We are willing to accept whoever wants to join us.’ The [Iranians] said to him: ‘We did not appoint you so you could say that the Ba’thists are our sons. We appointed you so you’d kill the officers of the Iraqi army, the commanders of the air force, and all the tribal leaders and other personalities.’ The man was assassinated by an Iranian conspiracy.

    “I Asked The Head Of The [Somali] Islamic Courts Union… ‘Who Supports You?’… He Said… ‘Iran Supports Us, Via Hizbullah’”

    “I asked the head of the [Somali] Islamic Courts Union, whom I met in Libya: ‘Who supports you?’ I expected him to tell me it was Saudi Arabia, but he said: ‘No, my brother. Iran supports us, via Hizbullah.’ In this case, Iran supports the leader of a Salafi movement in the Horn of Africa.

    “What interest does Iran have in supporting Sunni Salafism? This means Iran has a plan. What interest does Iran have in supporting Hamas and the Islamic Jihad? These are Sunni organizations. Iran’s agenda is to carry out its great national plan, and it harbors deep hatred towards Arab Shi’ites who follow Imam Al-Sadeq.

    “The Iranians are not the kind of Shi’ites you are used to. They are not like the Shi’ites of Iraq. The Shi’ites of Iraq follow the right path, they follow Ali bin Abu Talib they follow Hussein, they are Arabs, they are like the companions of the Prophet, they are the brothers of the Sunnis, and follow the Sunna of the Prophet of Allah.”

    “I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races — that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races from living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”

    Midori, I don’t know what point you tried to make by linking me with Rastus but your reply is typical of an Obamanaut.

    Why don’t you try to refute that Obama is apparently ignorant that Ol’ Abe was a devout racist?

    Thanks Yogi. I enjoyed that video although I don’t listen to country music.

    It was good!

    And so it is that you inferior Repugs want more of the same huge destruction that BushDrunk and his fellow-travelers have wrought upon us.

    Brilliant Little People.

    {{{{Barack Hussein Obama > 44th president of the United States INAUGURATION 2009: Poems for presidents-Urinal/ Kult of BaraKKK}}}}

    Wanna bet that in 2000 the Inauguration Commemorative Edition and Slobbering Set in the Urinal wasn’t title “Poeeeeems fwour Pwesidence” but was instead named “Whining and Moaning About Bushie, The Beginning.”

    Awfully pretentious, AJC.

    I wish I had known this was coming, I would have left the litter box liner at the end of the driveway.

    The original ‘Godzilla’ in black and white, starring Raymond Burr along side the leapin’ lizard, before Toho Pictures made him into a caricature, is one of my favorites.

    Perhaps that is why I fit in so well on this site, because everyone here is merely a caricature.

    Take RASTUS up there, for instance. The clown that wrote that posted at such a time as to escape the sleepy censors. I wrote one similar to that, but not as nasty, as a caricature, if you will, a few months back, and Bookman the tool was on it like white on rice, and I got banned for a week. He outed me too, and blocked my responses to be posted stating that I was just doing it as a fictional portrayal, but in his ignorant bigotry, he disallowed it.

    So what is going to happen here? Is the writer known as RASTUS going to be banned, outed, or both? Where is your almighty level of decorum now, Jay? Maybe going to the theater is a good thing for you, it escapes the reality of the AJC sinking like other left wing media outlets into the mire from which they arose.

    Your man is about to be crowned. There is no need for your tripe any more. We, the people, shall take over from here.

    Go to the movies.

    And if those wiretaps in Chicago had been left up a few more weeks there is a good possibility an impeachment would be down the road !!

    In my opinion, you owe President Bush a thanks for that ……………
