Redacted Tanked!!!

Just like I predicted it would. But again a reminder, it was not for the reasons the left leaning media or the producers of the film will tell you. It is simply because even those who do not like the Iraq war, yet are reasonable people, do not wish to pay $11.50 on a Friday night to see our country and soldiers trashed by pretentious Hollywood elites who would not know real sacrifice if it walked up and stole their Gucci bags. See my other post for more...

Unpopular War or Blatant Anti-Americanism

It made around 26, 000 dollars in its' first weekend. So we are not talking about bad reviews here, we are talking about NOBODY going to see it. Based on the below review though I can't they would have been too pleased if they had.

Kenneth Turan, L.A. Times - "to sit through a motion picture as heavy-handed, didactic and rife with caricature as De Palma's is as frustrating as it is painful."

...and if the L.A.Times didn't even like it, sheesh!

Did You Know?

Hi all, good Thursday to you! My lovely girlfriend who is a first grade teacher showed me this. It is kind of a poster for 1 to 1 learning which in a nut shell gets laptops in the hands of studnets and gets them started learning for the information age. It is a bit long but worth the watch. Lot's of cool factoids.

Unpopular War Or Blatant Anti-Americanism?

Update Friday 2:00pm: Right on cue Redford and Cruise's new Anti-US suckfest opens to rave reviews:

New York Post - "...if you want to be bored by pompous-assery, Meet the Press is free."

Boston Globe -
"Political drama feels more like a lecture."

E! Online - "
basically a dorm-room debate with a couple of action scenes"

...and lets not leave out the regular people who watched the movie. Here is a link to their D+ rating. What Average Americans Thought of LFL

****************************************************************************

An article out today suggests that there is a correlation between the disastrous box office returns of all of the recent Anti-US, Anti-Iraq War movies and the fact that we are "fighting an unpopular war". Well, they are right about one of those things anyway, the box office returns are bad, really, really bad. Unfortunately as the MSM often does, they got everything else wrong. Let's think about the logic for a moment shall we? Their argument is that most Americans are passionately against the Iraq war and our cause in Iraq and thusly are staying away from movies about said war. Where their logic fails is in the fact that not one or few, but all of the movies in question, Rendition, In the Valley of Elah, The Kingdom, etc... are themselves anti-war. Anyone who knows anyone who is against this war knows that those who are passionate about it will jump at any chance to see it portrayed in a bad light. Now if you match that with the poor box office returns, it makes perfect sense. Those ARE the people who are going and spending money to see our country, soldiers and cause trashed over and over and they will continue to do so. The fact is that most Americans are patriotic, and they do NOT care to pay $11.50 on a Friday to see their sons and daughters and their country spat upon by pretentious, overpaid babies that have never had to fight for anything real in their lives. Yes, the movies are probably bad in the first place, but they are blatantly Anti-American in their message and content. They portray the US as an Imperialistic force for evil in the world and reasonable people just don't buy that cr*p. Maybe time and more insight will bare this sentiment out and Hollywood will wake up. But I read an article like the one listed below and and for now still have serious doubts.

One Drop In The Idealogical Bucket Sponged Up

One Million more to go I am afraid. There are not many things I deem worthy of the time it takes to post these days but this is one of them for sure. H/T to Malkin and F.I.R.E. for the heads up. When I read this article about the University Of Delaware's Educational Residency Program it made my stomach turn. I almost thought this could not be possible at a public university, but sadly it is, or was thanks to the people at F.I.R.E. and brave students who had the moral courage to oppose this indoctrination. I also don't tell my reader "Read the whole story" very often either, but this is an exception. I would encourage you to start from the start, read all of the articles linked and then see for yourself the curricula that spawned this protest. If you are a rational thinking person you may want to bring a barf bag. Seriously though, like a disease, if this ideological programming can be found in one university, then none are safe. My only further hope in this is that F.I.R.E. and other organizations like it will diligently search out other such violations of student rights and prosecute them with the same vigor as well.

Have You Ever Wondered??

...How to beat your wife properly? Well wonder no more my friends because Saudi cleric Muhammad Al-’Arifi has the answer you've been looking for, and then some.

"He should beat her with a toothpick.” I happen to have a toothpick with me. A man who is angry with his wife because she doesn’t get it... If he says to her: “Watch out, the child has fallen next to the stove,” or: “Move the child away from the electrical socket,” and she says: “I am busy” – then he beats her with a toothpick or something like it. He doesn’t beat her with a bottle of water, a plate, or a knife. This is forbidden. The scholars said he should beat her with a toothpick. Check out how gentle the toothpick used for beating is. This shows you that the purpose is not to inflict pain."

...Oh it gets better believe me. See the whole article here
