Ann Coulter Attacks 9/11 Widows

Ann Maggot Coulter says that Gore is a total fag. To his discredit, Chris Matthews sucks up to her and says he wants her back on his show.

Just like Chris Rock, not everyone appreciates Coulter's style of humor.

No comparison -- Chris Rock is an actual comedian. She's not a comedian, she's a fool's curmudgeon with a bitchy sarcastic style that should only appeal to those who are either neutered or spade. Rumor has it she got ticketed last week for double parking her broomstick.

See what you mean about what? Explain yourself, although I know with you that is virtually impossible. She is popular because the National Enquirer is popular. She states and brays on the boob tube exactly what the small minded right wing wants to hear. Listen, read and enjoy. She is no Mencken -- only her own pea brain.

I pointed out that it was not humor and she is not humorous by any estimation. If you want to bend semantics far enough to qualify her other than a petty, carping wanna-be curmudgeon, go for it. You're about as convincing as Richard Nixon stating, "I am not a crook."

Oh, but it is humor ... humor you do not appreciate. The problem here, of course, is you bring the same snobby attitude to comedy that you do to movies, to-wit: unless you or a professional movie reviewer believes a movie is worthy, you disparage anyone who holds a high opinion of said movie. You know this to be true; I've certainly pointed it out often enough.

Thus, if you don't find something humorous, you proclaim it to be "not humor." It appears you don't appreciate that whether you value Coulter's humor matters not one iota. She's still funny to me, whether you agree or not.

Snobby? You're writing about being snobby? That's a good one from one of the prime political snobs on A2K, other than BernardR/Italgato/Massagato.

Please give an example where I disparaged anyone, perhaps other than you who's opinion I do not respect, when they like a movie. I only remember negative reviews from you and I wouldn't respect an opinon from you of a peanut butter sandwich. Just me -- 'cause you are not a comedian either. Well, perhaps in your own mind.

Does anyone have any information on Coulter's background? I could find nothing about her parents, childhood, education, associates, etc. I would appreciate seeing this.

You find the posts. I won't be bothered. Your accusation is baseless.

Carpenter's "The Fog" (1980). Creeped me out when it came out. Good ghost story.

Don't know about "Don't Look Down" but "Don't Look Now" with Donald Sutherland is a great movie. I would also add "Rosemary's Baby."

But, "The Fog?" "The Fog?" "Halloween" overshadows that weakly scripted flick.

I'm guessing you weren't 12 when you first saw it. And I'm less concerned with the script of a horror movie than I am about its ability to scare the bejesus out of me.

The movie is a classic ghost story, from the beginning when John Houseman starts out telling the scary tale, to the eerie fog rolling in off Antonio Bay, to the discovery that the town was built on a leper colony. When the fog rolls in, so do the zombie-like pirates to scare the hell out of the towns folk -- and all 12 year old little boys watching the movie on HBO all alone in the darkened basement of their parent's house. The movie creates a great horror atmosphere, and is really scary, without resorting to being a slasher flick.

I recommend it to everyone.

I think you were twelve -- that film was about as scary as scary as burnt toast.

Was it so scary you had to type the word twice?

You know what? I'm more than just a little tired of your pontificating about all things "film." I'm well-aware that "The Fog" is not as highly rated as "Halloween" or "The Thing." (Which, btw, are movies I enjoy, and believe are scary.) I offered my opinion, and you offered yours.

So what's your point? That your opinion is correct and mine isn't? Well, how daring of you to offer up such highly-rated films. I dare to say that I too could go to a website and regurgitate a name or two to post that are widely accepted as top-of-the-line horror movies. But what I did instead was list a horror movie that I found quite enjoyable, and very scary. I could care less that you don't like it.

Now ... please take your opinion on the matter, and shove it.

It was a slasher flick? You're not serious.

Did you read what I typed?

If "Broken Flowers" when completely over one's head I could understand why they would write a review that can't actually point out what is bad or good about the film but just simply call it a piece of ****. The review is a piece of ****.

I envision you sipping brandy (pinky out, of course) and sticking your nose way up in the air whilst wearing a smoking jacket when you say that.

BTW: You usually indicate what some professional reviewer has had to say on the subject, as proof that the A2K critic must not know what he's talking about. You're slipping.

Sorry, don't drink brandy in the morning but the Pete's coffee sure is good.

If the reviewer had actually wrote an objective, intelligent review and pointed out what was wrong with a movie I might post a professional reviewer's essay which disagrees. There's nothing here to agree nor disagree with. It's a moot review.

Such sublime, non-nuanced, critical assessment ... I think I'll take your word for it.

I see you have a preference for lame comedies.

Land of The Dead! ugh what a horrible movie. Sure it had gore, but everything about it made me want to gag and go to sleep. Everything that could have been bad in the movie was bad... bad timing, bad acting, bad actors, bad writing, oh man it was horrible.

Golly -- 7 out of 10 is the IMDb rating, a public poll, and Ebert gave it 3 stars. Not sure if this is your type of film -- I know you can't take Romero's films seriously 'cause their horror camp. Not that I intend on beating a path to the movie theater -- I might catch it on HBO or Showtime.

i dont know light... that movie was by far the worse zombie flick ever... they didnt even explain why or how the zombies "got smart" the left it wide open

The Rotten Tomatoe's critics gauge is over 70% favorable reviews:

What movies do you believe are better?

I'm not opting to Pay-Per-View of "Phanton" but I might add it to my NetFlix queue.

I realize that old adage about one man's trash is another man's treasure but if one is already prejudice against a genre, they can add their two bits worth and it doesn't mean much.

I find all Andrew Lloyd Webber as rather pretentious, often times only offering up one great song in the entire musical. However, where does that leave Sondheim who fills his musicals with complex, witty, musically original songs that make every one of his works worthwhile but would probably bore the average person to death?

I always believed that if you can't say something nice about somebody, you should say nothing. Believe me, I keep my mouth shut about you!

I guess I can safely say that you assume you know what my feelings about all genres are.

The original question was about what movies bore individual posters - plain and simple.

lightwizard - I'm not sure why you seem to feel the need to put down films I say I like, or slam my comments on films I don't like. You've got an opinion, I've got an opinion. That's it. Two people with opinions.

It's a shame, since discussions from differing viewpoints can be fun as well as challenging.

<edit>

Well, maybe it's more.

I have defended the right of others to have opinions you don't share. That does seem to have put a burr under your saddle in regard to me.

With any luck, the ignore feature will be installed soon, and you can relax. You won't have to see me at all anymore. I won't be gone, just out of your line of sight.

ehBeth: Sadly, this is not a new revelation. LW has taken the time to tell me that my opinion on any of several movies is pure crap. He usually is able to tell me that movie experts agree with him that my opinion is pure crap, which obviously causes him to believe he must be right.

When is that ignore feature getting installed?

Plagerized it in the sense that it's a quote from a movie.

I first used that quote in reference to Moore's film ..... HERE

Striking? No. It's not unusual. Firstly, not everything needs to be taken "to court." Perhaps the idea of not giving that tripe any additional publicity trumps the need to "expose"' the lies. Secondly, comment directed toward public officials, such as the sitting President of the United States, enjoy protections normal slander would not. The burden is difficult. Also, because I refuse to give Moore a dime more than he already has, I've not seen this movie. But as they say, "You can take a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a cow's ass, but wouldn't you rather take the butcher's word for it?" ("Tommy Boy," 1995)

Chris Farley in a low-brow comedy produced from an explosion at the Hollywood script producing factory.
