So I just saw the movie, "Michael Clayton" tonight...
Edited on Sat Oct-27-07 10:50 PM by Javaman
Although a very good film, it's not why I'm writing...

The group, "3 doors down" is now on my shit list.

Some crap ass movie called "citizen soldiers" comes out soon and I saw what was passed off as a "music video preview". 3 doors down sings this song called "citizen soldier", obvious the title song. but what got me was all this propaganda rah rah footage.

this is going to be our version of "the green berets", with an aging john wayne that played during viet nam.

whatever the contract was, whatever their "original" intention may have been, it's completely obscured by the fact that they appear to be whoring themselves for this piece of trite bullshit to pump up the teens and wanna-be's on the edge about joining up.

This new stinking pile of a script with not a familiar face attached to it, will hopefully be dead upon arrival.

3 doors down, I liked a few of their songs, but not anymore, they are now deleted from my drive and I'm passing this along so a boycott of some measure can happen.

Pushing bullshit tripe movies is one thing, prostituting ones self for this failure of a war is something entirely different.

George Clooney nails the corporate junkies and their money grubbing philosophy. Go see it; support one of America's great defenders of liberty, George Clooney.

2. George Clooney should run for office.
Congress or Senate he would be a good candidate. He would be better than the other actors that have run. :dem:

4. Loved Tom Wilkinson & Sidney Pollack also
Terrific drama-thriller. Should also mention a fine performance by Tilda Swinton as well. Well worth seeing.
