  1. After the Golden Globe appearance of Bill Clinton, I had predicted that Obama would make an appearance at the Academy award. Turns out I was right, but it was Michelle rather than Himself. This is the Obamas big thanks for helping with money and influence to get them re elected.
    This proves that the current White House is nothing but another Hollywood set. The Obama presidency is worthy of an Oscar too.

  2. WOW !
    First Box office release made $25,916.
    Original Django film was a 1966 Italian Western directed by Sergio Corbucci and gave us a taste of Spaghetti.
    This new Django film gives us a super nigga’ slave killer and a taste of Chitlins.
    It will be great for free downloads,
    or the Wal Mart $5 dollar bin.
    you’ll see… YOU’LL SEE !

  3. No mention of Ken Taylor’s contribution to the Argo story by Ben Affleck. Even Jimmy Carter attributed 90% of the rescue to Ken Taylor and his staff and 10 % to the CIA man Mendez who was only in Iran for 36 hours. I guess Canadian heroes don’t make for good box office returns.

  4. We’ll never know how good box office Canadian hero stories are until we make some quality movies about them and send them around the world.
    Ones where we are confident of our achievements. The stories are there. e.i Madeleine de Vereschere, Boer War to the Afghan campaign.
    There is supposed to be a documentary coming out about the true Canadian role in the Tehran incident. It will be interesting, I’m sure.
    Is this the Canada, carved out of the wilderness by men and women of uncommon valour? (the late Charlton Heston)
    If we reminded ourselves of our past heroism, would it assist in inspiring more similar acts in the present?
    Would it cause us to have more confidence in our ability to deal with challenges regardless of their nature?
    I believe it would.

  5. Did Dear Leader’s wife really give out the award for best pic? Truly banana republic stuff.
    I liked how all the brave actors spoke out on behalf of the filmaker currently in solitary confinement just a few miles away from the theater. You remember him, right? The poor chap Dear Leader pin the blame on for Benghazi so he could win an election?

  6. Django Unchained had to be the most sickening, gratuitous violence filled movie I had ever seen. Just senseless blood and gore from one end to the other with dozens shot, stabbed, arm slowly broken until you hear the crack, torn by dogs, whatever, such that the audience was laughing at the end as the butchery became cartoon like. Why do these types of movies garner any attention at all? My wife and I only went as friends wanted to see it at the last moment, never again to a Tarantino “film”.

  7. Hollywood will give little credit to anyone else, they are the highest order of narcissists next to Dim Jung Barack himself, so giving credit to Canada for Argo just won’t happen. But on the other hand do we really want credits from a movie where army jeeps and trucks can catch up to a takeoff of a 747 on a runway, those things have to be going 250 to lift off and here are the screaming jihadis right beside them, only in the land of make believe do they worship an idiot for a pres. and think Alec Baldwin is smart..

  8. The movie Argo seems to be generating a lot of flack here in Canada. Unless the CIA’s Mendez’s role in actually engineering the exit of the six hostages in the movie was overdone and the role of Canada’s embassy staff hiding the six was minimized, it actually would be nice to have the real facts about who did what.
    We watched the movie last evening and unless what I asked in the paragraph above is true, it does show Mendez constantly conferring with Ken Taylor about how to get the people out and Taylor’s role in supplying Canadian passports for the six. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard was hot on the trail due to their puzzle making of the shredded US embassy staff photos to identify the missing six. The movie may have dramatized this hot on the trail aspect some, but don’t forget to what sort of audience 50% of the viewers will be.
    I thought Canada’s role was mentioned a number of times including in a booze toast by the principles in the US at the end of the movie.
    Who other than the milk-toasts in Hollywood cares about Michelle’s appearance, as it was a sop to the support of the Marxist crowd in Hollywood.
    This aught to get a few rocks thrown my way.

  9. “Why do these types of movies garner any attention at all?”
    Because people can be distracted from really living their lives if they are fed enough sensational entertainment. It’s why the Roman masses were entertained by gladiators and by wild beasts killing and eating prisoners.
    Eventually the system won’t be able to provide enough, and then what will it do to handle the mob?

  10. I passed out and snored through it all but made it up to the gayest song ever, “All That Jazz” before dozing off.
    What is it about anything “Jazz Hands” I hate?

  11. I watched Walking Dead/Talking Dead last night. But I did catch the end where Moochelle took her turn at the teleprompter and spat out her robotic dialogue. Figures that the marxist human garbage of Hollywood would have that thing on the Oscars.

  12. It’s funny that you say that, because with all due respect, my wife and I will see any “Tarantino “film”” as a rule of thumb. I’m sure you’ll disagree with this, but the major draw to a Tarantino film is the ‘artistic’ nature of the cinematography combined with second-to-none sound tracks. Mix in a little 70/80s cheese and you get a very original and identifiable films geared exactly to my demographic. BTW, Django was awesome. Jmo

  13. The generational divide is one of the major issues small “c” conservatism faces today. Most gen x and yer’s will identify themselves as libertarians if there are any conservative leanings but I digress.
    Here is my personal movie rating system: extreme violence(check); gratuitous use of the n-bomb(check); things blowing-up (check); dead master, or wife, or child for whom revenge is required(fail – they should have killed the damsel in distress); Wu-Tang Clan (or Jay-Z) sound track (check). Totally inappropriate humor (check).
    By the Official Indiana Homez rating system Django gets 4-h0s-up.
    The Mamba Rule: no major woman characters UNLESS they are kick-a$$ ninja chicks_ then please proceed(plus or minus 2 h0s for a total of 6-h0s-up including 1 bonus h0).
