Well… 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.
Hey. 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).
Glad 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.
goodness 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.
Wait…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.
hey, 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.
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!!!!!!
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.”
Hey, 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.
Okay, 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?
S
There is hope! Even for Islamofascists like this guy.

Quick, 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? 😉

“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!”
I 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 could just spit. The jab at Senator McCarthy in the original was bad enough. But this. I’m not even going to pirate this movie, and that’s saying something.
Now 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
The Left Coast Report…..
Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep Do Some Bible Bumping
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.
Re church shopping:
That’s how I found the one I’m at. My wife & I picked this one because the congregation welcomes anyone who walks in the door and is very active in the community.
Re Meryl Streep:
I prefer “the love of money is the root of evil”. Money is just a tool, not good or bad by itself.
As for ‘war presidents’, David would be one example.
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 predict next year they will come out with an Iraq version of ‘Band of Brothers’ which looks into the dedication of our soldiers, their humanitarian work and the Iraqi struggle for freedom… OK maybe not Hollywood, how about Gov. Schwarzenegger in conjunction with the Fox news channel.
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.
Saying that, I agree with Kim, there’s nothing funnier than wasting a liberal’s money. They waste enough of mine.
First now my life is complete
Well… are you gonna keep up the ad? or what??

I’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?
hey, 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.

As 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.”
Argh. I need my morning fix. And noon. And my mid-afternoon along with evening fixes. Hurry up and get back online, Frank.

Maybe if you put a header over the advert reading “Hollywood Propaganda”…
Good idea Krakatoa
Bummer. 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??
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Okay, either you guys are really overreacting or I’m seriously out of the loop. Is the movie that left-slanted?
