Well, if Sandra's character is "a member of the NRA," it turns me off. n/t

1. and she's always packing

[begin_within]

2. I thought she was going to say, "And I vote."

[stanwyck]

3. Yep. A little too Sarah Palin for me

Why do women (and I am one) think it's so cutesy to brag about packing heat? Is this supposed to add to their sex appeal? I'm one tough cookie. I bought a gun. These women are as pathetic as the men who try to buy their macho.

[UTUSN]

4. I was rooting for her. Wait, I'm not that hardcore. (Meaning, I'm still rooting) n/t

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. She's based on a real person.

Does Christoph Woltz playing a Nazi turn you off too?

[UTUSN]

6. Point taken. Be cool on me, O.K.?!1 n/t

[UTUSN]

7. P.S., there will be MANY clueless things posted on the internets before this night is over, K?!1 n/

[cherokeeprogressive]

8. Nuh uh. n/t

11. A better comment.

(Edit.Changed comment because it is not a proper comment in the context of the thread topic. Nor is it relevant to the thread topic.)


Sandra wondered if she earned the Award, After hearing her speech, that question is easy to answer, great speech and congratulations.

[pepperbear]

12. 2 words: DEMOLITION MAN. She's come a long way from that world. You go, Sandra!

[proteus_lives]

15. Ignorant.

[LynneSin]

19. I would have been happy about Jeff Bridges but he plays a country music singer...

and I can't stand country music. I can't believe they let him win!

:eyes:

[rcrush]

21. Jeff Bridges was playing real country music in Crazy Heart

Not that synthesized pop crap that gets played on CMT or whatever radio station plays country music these days.

[LynneSin]

28. I was being sarcastic

Point is - it's a fricking movie!

[Amaya]

13. I still cannot believe

she won an Oscar for this crappy movie and her cheesy over blown performance - :puke:
I've seen better actors at the local playhouse.
The Oscars = total joke.

[proteus_lives]

14. Why?

I know lots of people in the NRA, nothing wrong with them.

[Deep13]

16. thanks

And even if there were something wrong with them, there is no reason why actors cannot have accolades for playing imperfect characters.

18. Oh pul-lesae

Does it really matter?

My stepfather is a lifetime member of the NRA - should I tell him to go fuck off? Or perhaps I'm one of the many that realize that the NRA is not the enemy but the assholes that are running that organization.

[rcrush]

22. I wasnt too interested in the movie till I saw the NRA line at the Oscars.

I kind of want to see this movie now. :shrug:

[LynneSin]

24. Then go see it

you're denying yourself a really great movie that has very little to do with the NRA and more with inspiration of what woman did to make other person's life a better place. Half my family are lifelong, card-carrying members of the NRA and even they agree that there are some bad people at the top of the NRA leadership that give the group a bad name.

I have not seen the movie but I was told it is a very good movie. I actually refuse to go to theaters anymore except the rare occasion but I will rent the DVD.

[bigwillq]

20. She was playing a character who was

a member of the NRA (as far as I know). Haven't seen the movie, but I guess the real-life woman was very conservative.

[Arugula Latte]

23. "in a prayer group"

That also turned me off. Yes, I know it's based on a real woman, but it makes me less likely to want to see the movie.

[SimonPhoenix]

25. Yeah, you're totally right.

I'd rather be a member of the Brady Campaign, a pathetic organization started by a bitter Republican with the same tactics as the National Right to Life Committee. Don't get me wrong, I'm sorry Jim was disabled, but that doesn't entitle him to become a gun-grabbing asshole. His motives could not be any more self-serving if he tried. If I get hit by a Planned Parenthood van am I going to go out and start protesting abortion clinics?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

26. I'm sorry....

....I wasn't listening.

[SimonPhoenix]

27. Whatever broseph

I remember you from another thread. You're the anti-choicer masquerading as a Democrat. Mr Tommy Chinchotti or whatever pretending to be pro-choice while embracing loaded bullshit terms like "partial-birth abortion." You're nothing but an anti-choice gun-grabber.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

29. Tommy Chinchotti?

I'm sorry, you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Tommy_Carcetti. I'm a poster, here at the Lounge.

[SimonPhoenix]

30. Okay so I got your surname wrong

So what. You're still the same poster who was making anti-choice comments in another thread, are you not? I remember you.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

31. Someone's missing their daily dose of mayonnaise.

:(

[SimonPhoenix]

33. That so, guy?

Check him out: Mr anti-choice Tommy. Drawing a moral equivalence between choice proponents and choice opponents in the debate.

Here's a nice Tommy quote from the thread linked above:

"In the meantime, abortion rights proponents will talk until they are blue in the face about personal soverignity and "keeping your laws off my body", and abortion opponents will talk about God and a "culture of life", and all of it--all of it--is a bunch of hot air which doesn't serve to honestly convince a single person of the opposing view point. It's all incredibly self-serving and truly a waste of words."

There he is, folks, comparing pro-choicers to anti-choicers in their tactics.

First of all, learn to spell. The word above is spelled "sovereignty". Second, don't spout crap like that in another thread and then pretend you don't know what I'm talking about when I reference it. I have a photographic memory and I remember the ridiculous crap that you post in other threads.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

34. Wow.

I guess you got me, spelling smack and all. And damn me now and damn me forever for being disheartened at the whole abortion debate from both sides of the argument. Apparently I'm the only one who feels like that--who knew.

Your photographic memory has proven the best of me. I think I have no choice but to leave DU forever now. Since you have caught me in my transgressions, it logically follows that you must now assume my responsibilities. Chuggo Week is coming up in about a month--I haven't yet picked a theme, but I'd suggest you rightly do the Canuck well, lest too many here become unsettled. Umm....if someone badmouths Billy Corgan and/or the Smashing Pumpkins, it is incumbent upon you to rush to his defense, regardless of the fact he's an insufferable prick. Oh, and you need to brag at least twice weekly about the benefits of living in Florida.

Also, don't forget to copycat at least 5 posts a day. When someone asks what you are doing, just reply "Mindlessly spamming the lounge" and be done with it. Whatever you do, do not look them in the eyes.

I think that's just about it. Here's the keys to the place:

Good luck!

[LynneSin]

46. YOU'VE BEEN A FREEPER ALL THIS TIME AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT???!!!

:sarcasm:

You're about as freeper like as I am playboy bunny like

[fishwax]

35. If you have a photographic memory, why did you get his name wrong?

[Ptah]

36. He ran out of film

[Tommy_Carcetti]

37. Film? Who uses film any more?

Oh right, he does.

[SimonPhoenix]

38. Wow, you're dense

I didn't get your name wrong-it was sarcasm. I purposely typed the wrong name. How on Earth could that be a misspelling?

Don't you have some Operation Rescue meeting on Monday nights? I wouldn't want you to be late, Tommy DeLaino. :)

[Orrex]

43. If you pull out that stick

you'll be able to sit on regular chairs with much less discomfort. Give it a try!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

44. Wait a minute....

Asher Heimermann, is that you?

CONFERENCE CALL IN 15 MINUTES!!!! You rock, Asher!

[Deep13]

39. Ilford Delta 400.

Hard to find B&W developers, though. :evilgrin:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

40. I guess it will always be a lingering subculture, like stick shifters. nt

[Deep13]

47. At least until electronic images are as good as B&W film. nt

[Ptah]

41. Oh, I misread that.

Photogenic mammaries.

:blush:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

42. Locking. Sex thread.

It's a shame, this high quality thread gets locked all because of you, Ptah. You should be ashamed of yourself.

[LynneSin]

45. Nice tie-in using the dude that won the Oscar for best actor

:claps:

[Deep13]

32. I know! The National Recovery Act totally sucked!

:hide:
