I love the list, but there should have been a fourteenth spot so you could fit in Maru, the cat that jumps in boxes. I cannot believe there is no Maru!
Not to direct people away from the site (so I won't provide a link), but Gawker actually has a highlight real of this debate - but I think watching the whole thing is much better. Just if you don't have the time, at least watch the highlights.
If Uganda makes homosexuality and testing positive for HIV punishable by death - Uganda, a country in which 72% of its population lives below the poverty line - it means it's just political move to take people's minds of the real problems. It happens all the time. It happened in our country, when Bush wanted to make an amendment to the constitution defining marriage while the economy sunk and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars got worse.
In no way do I excuse Uganda by comparing them to America. I'm just pointing out that when countries want to turn heads away from the more serious problem, they make another problem more serious. It just happens that homosexuals are the frequent target of this persecution, and it's sad, frustrating, infuriating, and, most of all, dangerous.
Considering all of the proof there is for homosexuality much more akin to genetics than it is to any sort of idea of "choice," stopping persecution of homosexuals is something that will benefit all of the people on this earth. When genetic determination - when what is inside of us and cannot be separated from us is no longer enough evidence, the future bodes well for no creature in the human race.
I enjoyed Blindness, but it was a painful type of enjoyment. It was a "when I get out of here and get miles away from the theater, and wait a few weeks, I will see the poetic significance of white sickness."
That said, good luck. There will be movies that will scar you more, but this one might leave you feeling like you need a shower.
The British "psychic" is named Derek Acora. He used to be on a British ghost hunting show called Most Haunted, which is still on the Travel Channel. He got kicked off of there because he lost credibility as a psychic when he was possessed every single episode.
Seriously. When you lose credibility on a ghost show, which has "very high standards," I'm sure, you've got some real fucking problems.
Whoa whoa whoa. Legends of the Fall? It's a shame when we get to the point in our culture where people can't enjoy a good heart-gouging-out... time... thing.
I love Legends of the Fall. It's like a post-Western western, if there is such a thing.
You misunderstand my vendetta I have against this movie. I loved it, then I watched it with a group of my friends saying how great it was, and then my friends, who have good taste in movies mind, hated it because of how cheesy it was, and even I realized it was indefensible. And now I must have Gabe crucify it to satisfy my bloodlust.
Plus, Bill Paxton has the delivery of a 2 x 4. Good old 2 x 4-to-the-face-and-oh-god-it-hurts delivery.
Alright, Gabe. I looked it up. Frailty, with Bill Paxton and Matthew McConaghey, was released theatrically. ALSO: Ebert liked it. And I don't understand how that could have happened. You must set right the wrongs of the universe, and, by extension, slap Roger Ebert around. Just a little bit.
PLEASE DO FRAILTY.
So I was all "HAHAHA" at this article, and I sent it to one of my friends, who I thought was for sure going to be all "HAHAHA" as well. Turns out, I pissed him off especially because, and I quote, "THE MATRIX OF LEADERSHIP IS A THING." It's apparently in the original cartoon.
*I* thought it was fucking hilarious.
