Ann Coulter Attacks 9/11 Widows

Ticomaya- You proved what all of us who peruse the film section know.

You were absolutely correct in your estimate of Light Wizard. However, as in any exchange with people who are immured in the miasma of the left wing relativism like Light Wizard, your proof will only resound with rational people.

I find that it is impossible to converse with Light Wizard. When we had an exchange concerning "Brokeback Mountain" I felt, I must confess, slightly ill at ease at my comments and I tried to show my sympathy when I posted the horrendous events that have occured in the Washington State Supreme Court just recently.

Despite my attempts at empathy,. Mr. Light Wizard ignored my post!!

What can one do?

There's a film forum?

Yes, Mr. McGentriz and if you wish to be informed of the quality of the various films, do not miss the reviews of Mr. Light Wizard who has informed us that "Brokeback Mountain" is one of the foremost films of all time.

You need to learn such things, Mr.McGentrix. Get thee to the film forum at once. Or, if you are skeptical, scroll back to see Ticomaya's wonderful put down of the nonsense spewed by Light Wizard on that forum!!

You exaggerate, as usual. No statement by me ever stated that "Brokeback Mountain" was "was one of the foremost films of all time." You are fantasizing. There is cognitive therapy for that but perhaps they have it for free in the asylum.

Bernard loves to misquote people. He also likes to take racist cheap shots at Snood. Not very nice, and a lot like his idol, Ann Maggot Coulter.

Oh, good. I was thinking no one else noticed.

It is kind of funny though that massagatto-weirdo thinks its such a powerful line of argument to take against me, when he starts that "Mr Snood and Spike Lee" stuff.

Whatelse can one call a groundbreaking film like "Brokeback Mountain" which, at last, is a call for all decent and honorable Americans to get behind the demand for constitutional rights for all no matter what etnicity, age, gender, or sexual orientation.

I can search, of course, for some of the glowing reviews given about Brokeback by Mr. Light Wizard. I wonder why he is now changing his opinion about this marvelous film?

Mr.Advocate- May I respectfully suggest that you are woefully misinformed about the concept of racism. I urge you to consult a trusted dictionary concerning its meaning. If you will examine any of my comments, you will find that I said nothing which relate to anyone's INHERENT CHARATERISTICS( which, of course, is crucial in the definition). My comments, which you did not understand unfortunately, dwelled on what I felt were the cultural errors of Snood. I am amazed that you do not know the difference between culture and inherent charateristics. Culture is acquired. Dr. Thomas Sowell is an African-American scholar. He has acquired the kind of culture with which I indentify. I am afraid that I do not identify with Mr. Snood's culture.

May I respectfully suggest that you read up on the concept. I am very much afraid that you are woefully lacking in uderstanding concerning racism.

A good place to start is the book "The End of Racism" by Dinesh D"Sousa. You might enjoy it and profit from it.

More transparant sarcasm.

Bernie's sarcasm goes over like a huge mound of dung.

No. Mr. Light Wizard, it is not transparant( sic) sarcasm although you may not have the knowledge to understand that it is not. You may, of course, wish to show that my definition is incorrect. You are invited to do so.

I am certain that you will not be able to do so since my definition is based on an Objective Dictionary definition.

Yes, I know. You are a film snob.

He may very well be a film snob, Ticomaya, but have you ever considered the possibility that he is actually in touch with the glitterati and may be a kind of Hollywood groupie? Wouldn't that give him a particular kind of knowledge that would enable him to tell the rest of us which films are really great and which ones are not?

He is, after all, A light wizard, and for all you know, Ticomaya, he may be lighting up all of those critical scenes in the cinema. Even the denoument in "Brokeback"!!!!!!

If I am a film snob, then you Tico, are a political snob.

Enjoying and prasing such films as "Night of the Living Dead," "Pirates of the Caribben (I not II), "There's Something About Mary," "Batman Begins," "Spiderman," "Blade Runner," "Match Point," "Evil Under the Sun," "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," "Halloween," "The Thing," "Titanic," "Legally Blonde," "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," "Garden of Evil," and many, many more that have received everything from two three (actually the Leonard Maultin film review book gives "Blade Runner" only one star) hardly qualifies me as someone who only watched and appreciates independent art and foreign films, reject nearly all of the Hollywood movie output -- the mark of the film snob.

Your qualification as a policial snob has far better proof than mine as a "film snob" and pegs you perfectly. Nothing has changed and it's off subject again but "The Fog" was made to scare teeny boppers and it sucks for adults in my opinion.

The denouement (although there was more than one) in the first tent scene (which you might be referring to) was lit by a flashlight. The final scene with the two shirts was illuminated to appear as a Wyeth painting.

I don't usually act as the spelling police but since BernardR saw fit to attack some of my typos, if you're going to use big words like denouement, try to spell them right.

LW, Ticomaya criticizes other people's spelling....

Again, what is a "political snob"? When you wade into the politics forum, you better know your opinions are going to be challenged, and be prepared to support them, or not. But in any case, you should realize that comes with the territory. I haven't the foggiest idea what you conceptualize as "political snobbery," as it regards me.

On the other hand, when one forays into the Film forum, say to voice their opinion on the "Best Comedy Ever" thread, they probably don't expect -- or want -- to have their selection criticized by the likes of you, buzzing around proclaiming their choice ridiculous because it was not critically acclaimed, didn't fare well at the box-office, or Leonard Maultin only gave it one "Box of Popcorn" in his movie review book. Yet that's what you do, apparently in your quest to rid the forum of the "Yahoo Chat" riff-raff you seem to despise. It's as if you think someone is not entitled to simply proffer their opinion on the lightweight topic of movies, where it ought to be perfectly fine to like what you like and not need provide a movie review that meets your standards, particularly if you disagree with the opinion offered.



You got that right. There are some sucky movies in that list. (And Blade Runner ain't one of them.)

But I suspect that in every case you have something bolstering your opinion of the movies you listed, above and beyond your base opinion, whether it is some other movie reviewer who shares your positive view of the movie and whom you can cite for support, or the fact that the movie did well in its box office take. You are often very critical of those who just express their high opinion of a movie, if you don't agree.

That is why I referred to you as a film snob ... not because you are someone who only appreciates indy art flicks.



The go ahead and try to explain it, since it "has far better proof," IYO.



Well, that's your opinion, and you are entitled to it. Just as I'm entitled to mine.

And the fact remains that The Fog did scare "teeny boppers," and that's precisely the reason I named it as one of the scariest movies I've seen. I didn't claim that it would scare snobby film critics or reviewers such as yourself, or that it was the best movie ever made, only that it was a movie that scared me and which I enjoyed.



What the hell are you talking about?



If you have an issue with BernardR's spelling, please address your remarks to him.

Here is an interesting piece into Coulter's foray into science. She is anti-Darwin, which makes her fit in with a big percentage of the Republicans.

It's obvious my chiding of BernardR, Massagatto, Italgato, and crew, were directed at BernardR. Your now just being churlish (but it's the usual and expected reaction).

Film opinion is just as subjective as political opinion. You can try and apply objectivism to both and it just doesn't work. You are now becoming tiresome and pointless.

You are in a fog yourself if you think "The Fog" was anywhere near on a top one-hundred list of scary movies with teeny-boppers. It did very poorly at the box office and failed to attract the "Halloween" audience.

By the same token, "Blade Runner" also failed at the box office and in the Director's Cut actually turned many critic's opinions around. Goes to show what studio meddling can do to screw up a movie.

And Ann Coulter still sucks, although I understand very poorly.

I really don't think so, Mr. Light Wizard. There is nothing subjective about the Supreme Court Decisions. They are the law of the land. On the other hand, there is nothing as immutable as opinions about garbage movies like the DaVinci Code and Brokeback Mountain, which will soon be forgotten and selling at the remainder counter at Blockbuster.

Ticomaya is right- You are a film snob.

The "obviousness" of your effort was lost on both myself and c.i., gauging by his reaction. ("LW, Ticomaya criticizes other people's spelling....") Are you in the habit of changing the addressee of your comments in mid-post, without so much as an indication?



The entire point of the Politics forum (at least one of them) is to argue the relative merits of your position. That is not the purpose of the Film forum, or at least I don't think it is. It certainly isn't to those who just want to express their opinion without a snobbish rebuke from the likes of you.

The entire point of this discussion is the fact that you don't appreciate Coulter's comedy doesn't mean she isn't funny to me. Based on your comment above, it appears you agree with me, you're just reluctant to admit it.



Then please ignore me.
