Link of the Day
A reader questioned my advertising of the movie The Manchurian Candidate, and Kim du Toit has a post appropos to that. 34 Responses To "Link of the Day"
First now my life is complete #1 - Posted by: gbfan on July 26, 2004 07:59 PMWell... are you gonna keep up the ad? or what?? I say see it (on some one elses dime..of course) and then write a scaything (sp?) review of the movie. You can do it. #2 - Posted by: Joshua on July 26, 2004 08:28 PMHey. I'm the one who wrote you the email. I would say take it down ASAP, because it's a contradiction to have it up there (if you want you can go listen to Ropert & Ebert's review of the film, and that will tell you enough) but if you want to see the movie to do a scathing review of it yourself, I recommend you go rent and watch the original first. It's a classic, and NOT liberal, I promise you (it does attack McCarthyism, but that was bad anyway). #3 - Posted by: antodav on July 26, 2004 09:17 PMGlad somebody else said this first so I wouldn't invoke the wrath of Frank J. - I was shocked when I saw him endorse that liberal movie for a few bucks of blog-ad revenue... I have rented the original (only one copy at my Blockbuster) and will watch it this week. Might even do a review. #4 - Posted by: rockynoggin on July 26, 2004 09:25 PMgoodness folks, he's not endorsing the movie, he's stealing liberal dollars. how can he go wrong with that? as the only employee of IMAO, i support leaving it up. #5 - Posted by: sarahk on July 26, 2004 10:27 PMWait...I know someone didn't just call Chris Jansing a newsbabe...did they? She looks like a female Tweety Bird with a rounder face. Yikes. As for the movie ad, I'm sure we're all smart enough to know we shouldn't bother with it, so let them be unwary donors to their own demise. #6 - Posted by: Turkeyhead on July 26, 2004 10:52 PMI'm agreeing with SarahK on this on. Hell, Frank already drives a foreign car, why shouldn't he take a few of the liberal's clams? #7 - Posted by: Indorphin on July 26, 2004 10:54 PMhey, yeah, they spend(waste) their money here. we're saving someone else from having to see it! oh, and if you live in the north texas area I think I saw that pbs(kera) is showing the original this weekend. I saw it a while back, but don't really remember it, maybe i'll watch it again. #8 - Posted by: maggie katzen on July 26, 2004 11:25 PM lol@Indorphin OK, that's cool - he's taking liberal money... so why not advertise Fairyhide 9/11? Hmmm? Or maybe Air America can be the official radio network of IMAO? Wait, wait - "Communism: It's really not that bad after all! - Frank J." I mean, where does it stop? FRANK - YOU HAVE SOLD YER SOUL TO SATAN!REPENT, REPENT!!! Just kidding. BUT REPENT!!!!!! #10 - Posted by: rockynoggin on July 27, 2004 02:25 AMAs long as you use the money to buy more guns, I think everything cancels out. It's like what Kinky Friedman said to Clinton when he offered the Arkansas Rapist a Cuban cigar: "I'm not supporting communism. I'm burning their fields." #12 - Posted by: El Jefe on July 27, 2004 08:27 AMArgh. I need my morning fix. And noon. And my mid-afternoon along with evening fixes. Hurry up and get back online, Frank. #13 - Posted by: Trucido on July 27, 2004 10:07 AMHey, it's your site. If you don't mind taking money to display something that goes against everything you say you stand for, go for it. I hear Kerry is also looking for some good ad space. :) I wouldn't do it just because for me, it's the principle of the thing. One of the many things that I love about what freedom we have left is that you can do whatever the hell you want, and even get paid for it. I like your blog or I wouldn't be here so often. If it bothered me that much, I wouldn't still be coming. Same for everyone else I guess. #14 - Posted by: JusTalkin on July 27, 2004 10:21 AMMaybe if you put a header over the advert reading "Hollywood Propaganda"... #15 - Posted by: krakatoa on July 27, 2004 11:05 AMGood idea Krakatoa #16 - Posted by: Joshua on July 27, 2004 11:18 AMBummer. I got my coffee, and a fresh waffle on my lap. I'm ready to park myself in front of the computer for a while. But Alas!! No Frank! Now what?? #17 - Posted by: jonag on July 27, 2004 12:32 PMNothing. Absolutely nothing. #18 - Posted by: Trucido on July 27, 2004 12:53 PMOkay, either you guys are really overreacting or I'm seriously out of the loop. Is the movie that left-slanted? I can't find a review of it (Google returns with reviews of the original) but it's about brainwashed soldiers assassinating a political candidate, right? How leftist can it be?
I think they object to the "bad guys" being a corporation instead of commies. #20 - Posted by: maggie katzen on July 27, 2004 01:37 PMThere is hope! Even for Islamofascists like this guy. I found this article via mensnewsdaily.com USA Today tried to censor her, and Michael "two cheese burgers" Moore is slated to comment on the GOPC. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1076559705314&p=1006688055060 #21 - Posted by: Joshua on July 27, 2004 01:57 PMQuick, APB where the hecky-doodle is Frank? I thought He wasn't going to visit his sweet honey SarahK until after the first of August, yep, after August 5th. Yo Frank.. Startin' early? Good for you! Better bring some sizeable rocks! NO dumbass, the shiny-bright on a ring (Gold, Silver or Platnum.. Whatever suits her color group- I am guessing Winter so that would be gold band.) that can cut glass kind you freak! Wow, the first blog wedding.. So who would officiate? Sooo.... Is there a pastor in the blog? BTW.. Can I be a Blogsmaid ? Miss SarahK soon to be SarahJ? ;) I can see them telling their kids how they met: "thought He wasn't going to visit his sweet honey SarahK until after the first of August, yep, after August 5th." Where did you get this insider info, huh? Spill it. I suggest everyone visit SarahK's blog and leave a comment on the latest post, (Yeah, sorry 'bout that). We are all going through sever Frank J./SarahK withdrawels. http://kiser47.typepad.com/mountaineer_musings/2004/07/yeah_sorry_bout.html #24 - Posted by: Joshua on July 27, 2004 02:36 PMFrom Announcements (Important - You Read) "Starting tomorrow, I'm going to be business tripping until August 5th (week from Thursday)." Oops, Crap! I guess I read that wrong, guess his Business with the Future Mrs. Frank J. IS supposed to be sooner. Okay, so I'm kind of loopy now -- working third shift, should-be-asleep-but-have-serious-bleeping-insomnia-now! My Bad, Sorry! "Well, I guess that's different then... Nevermind!" #25 - Posted by: LokiDoki on July 27, 2004 02:50 PMI would just like to take this opportunity to say how immensely pissed I am that they would take an excellent movie like The Manchurian Candidate and make it even more leftie-leaning. Oooooh, look out for whitey and his eeeeeeevil corporations. He's the root of all evil and he's coming to get us! He's going to take over the eeeeeeeevil united states and use it to do more eeeeeeeevil things! I think Frank should take the red clams and send it to Jimmy Carter so he can inject his flacid fish belly face with botox. #27 - Posted by: Carl P on July 27, 2004 03:49 PMNow that everyone* has decided there will be a wedding I'd like to suggest my church, First Presbyterian. We are located within 10 miles of Frank's house. Pastor George was an Army Ranger and starts most services with "God bless our troops". One confession, we are a PCUSA church, our 2004 National Assembly recently got beat up at Free Republic. You can't blame us locals for everything that happens at the national level. Although we have lots of Korea & Vietnam vets in the congregation, firearms and katanas would be discouraged at the wedding ceremony. Maybe you could save that for the reception. Wedding colors: go with Mountaineer Musings color scheme; IMAO black & red says too much "Hey let's make a devil movie" to me. As a compromise you could incorporate "Nuke the Moon" as a theme. I am pretty sure the Bible is neutral on that topic. That's most of the hard work done. When Frank gets back all he has to do is ask a question and flip through a calander - 15 minutes effort at most. * except Frank & Sarah, minor difficulty whoever called frank a dumb*** -- ahem, i'll see you at three o'clock in the parking lot. and i like platinum. #29 - Posted by: sarahk on July 27, 2004 06:30 PMThe Latest from my E-mail....
Tinseltown is at it again -- changing classic plots to make them P.C., that is. In the remake of "The Manchurian Candidate," rather than using communism as the source of villainy as in the 1962 original, a multinational conglomerate called "Manchurian Global" is used. Angela Lansbury, who was nominated for an Academy Award in the original, made clear her feelings about the remake. She has said: "I'm so unhappy. I'm so sorry they had to mess with something that was so perfect." Director Jonathan Demme and two of the stars of the retooled version, Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep, were out promoting the flick on "Dateline NBC." Demme told interviewer Katie Couric that the story line of the film "suggests that the multinational corporations that profit on war may just be a huge ingredient of a great global threat today." Politicizing things further, he said, "Now with the war in Iraq going on, we're reading about the misadventures of some of these multinational corporations. So I don't think we're making anything up in our movie." Couric seemed taken aback by the anti-corporate rhetoric from this wealthy representative of corporate Hollywood. She asked whether the idea hadn't been "taken to the extreme." In another interesting turn, she brought up Streep's comments of late about the president's faith, in which the actress says, "Through the shock and awe, I wondered which of the megaton bombs Jesus, our president's personal savior, would have personally dropped on the sleeping families in Baghdad." This prompted a fascinating exchange between Streep and Washington regarding, of all things, Scripture. Streep brought up the following sayings and teachings of Jesus Christ: "'If a man smite thee on the cheek, let you turn the other that he may smite it also.' And He says, 'He who lives by the sword dies by the sword.' And He says, 'Love thine enemy.' Jesus could have raised an army against the people that persecuted him. He didn't. So that's what I was pointing out in my speech, and ... I couldn't imagine how Jesus would vote. Jesus was the Prince of Peace. Would the Prince of Peace vote for a war president?" Washington responded by saying: "It's open to interpretation. Jesus also went into the temple and kicked everybody out." There was further debate between the two about money, with the multimillionaire Streep saying, "Money's bad," and Washington noting that "we all make money. So does that make us bad? Maybe he's talking about us?" The Left Coast Report remarks that it's nice to see Hollywood stars debating the Good Book, but it would be even better if more of its principles showed up in the movies. #30 - Posted by: Joshua on July 27, 2004 06:41 PMSorry mike_rdr but I think you need to go church shopping, buddy. http://www.crcna.org/ find a local one near you here. http://www.crcna.org/whoweare/congregations/index.asp?WhoWeAreMenu #31 - Posted by: on July 27, 2004 06:47 PMRe church shopping: Re Meryl Streep: In our free market Hollywood can make some bucks with these politically controversial movies. Hopefully avoiding ones that are full of lies or undermining our soldiers. I posted a link to Allah saying he was happy he turned down the ad so maybe I'm the reader. I wasn't trying to tell you to take it down, I was pointing out Allah's take on it. Post a comment
