"I know it's about a lesbian couple, but give me a break."

Ha.

If it's something more, then maybe.; 7/25/10, 9:38 AM

Unknown said...: Men love lesbians because they think, "Now all they need is me. Let's make a sandwich!" Of course, it rarely works that way.

Women on the other hand get that when two guys are attracted, the girl is out.

But just wait till the sex robots show up. Will it mean the end of the human race?; 7/25/10, 9:49 AM

Give it a break.

The Woodstock Film Festival is coming up in a few weeks.

Two years ago, it was an open Obama for President rally.

Last year, it was a "social justice" rally, i.e., a Democratic Party rally.

I expect this year the theme will be the Diversity Seminar.

How can we convince these morons to cease making idiot cause movies? Can't they find something better to do with their time?; 7/25/10, 9:52 AM

My question is this this: Are women who engage in lesbianism in order to titillate men truly engaging in lesbianism? Isn't it just wearing a kind of make-up?; 7/25/10, 9:53 AM

Except they're wrong. The Mormons I know believe gay people can very much love each other, and that such love stands entirely on its own merits.

It's just that, in the full development of a human soul, forging a uniquely close relationship with someone of the same gender will only get you partially there. It takes melding with a different gender to get you fully there.

The American left is always extolling the strength that comes from diversity.

Mormons are merely doing the same in regards to a marriage.; 7/25/10, 9:56 AM

It's great to see some offense against those Westboro Baptist assholes. I love the protest sign:

"MAGNETS, HOW THE *?*! DO THEY WORK?"

Poignant and thought provoking, while being impossible to counter point.; 7/25/10, 10:22 AM

...Did not know that.; 7/25/10, 10:30 AM
lucid said...: Anything positive about the politically privleged classes (Afrcian-Americans, lesbians, gays, women in some contexts) has to be described as the most wonderful and meaningful thing that has ever happened on Planet Earth.

Anything negative or critical (epecially about an African-American) simply can't be said or if said is ipso facto evidence of racism and profound moral depravity and "insensitivity."

This is a consequence of the moral, social, and cognitive corruption that affirmative-action-thinking imposes on our thoughts and communication.; 7/25/10, 10:32 AM
write_effort said...: This movie is mostly about loyalty -- which is a big component in a family. The depiction of the kids is quite moving. I wish the film had been seen more through their eyes. The film is hardly a recruitment tool for lesbianism, the women have negative chemistry. Sorry to say the film is BORING.; 7/25/10, 11:31 AM
MayBee said...: Funny, but I see how it happened.
Benning, Moore, Ruffalo is the proper order for billing. The names had to be written in that order.

If you look at the movie stills, those are the best head shots of the stars. In order to compose the line of photos, it's aesthetically more pleasing to have Moore and Benning looking toward the center, and put the guy in the middle.; 7/25/10, 12:11 PM
jr565 said...: I know a few things after looking at that poster. Julianne Moore looked HOT in She's Having a Baby, but since she started growing facial hair, she's not that attractive. Meanwhile I would have sex with Anette Benning, she looks much better with the red hair. And maybe Mark Ruffallo too. I'd have to see him without the glasses on though.; 7/25/10, 2:25 PM

Guess that would mean ... oh my.

jamboree said...: @ironrails They're not fascinated with lesbians - they are fascinated with fake lesbians - lesbians as they imagine them to be, as porn has told them they are.; 7/25/10, 9:16 PM
Joe said...: Anyone notice that in the photo the names are above the wrong pictures?

The movie has Mark Ruffalo in it. That makes it a guaranteed borefest.; 7/25/10, 11:19 PM
