    For a brief time there, I was putting it into 5 gallon pails also ๐Ÿ™‚ Had some shyster stroke me along about how it was going to be used as a sauce in his taco manufacturing facility- if I’d put it in 5 gl pails and provide him with several gallons (free!) for ‘evaluation’ in the manufacturing process.

    Movie Review issue #2

    1. Memoirs of a Geisha: A great movie all around, not just a “chick flick”.

    2. King Kong: I liked it even with a long introduction, the action is well worth the wait.

    3. An unfinished life: Morgan Freeman does this one justice for sure!!!

    4. Hostel: My wife had to leave the room, thumbs up for gore and violence.

    5. Brokeback Mountain: I had to leave the room, and the wife soon followed.

    6. Yours mine and ours: Funny but pedictable.

    1. I liked Memoirs well enough. Lovely visuals. Worth seeing once.

    2. King Kong is fantastic, truly a cinematic experience. If you haven’t seen it, go rent it now!

    3. Haven’t seen it. Should I?

    4.Hostel was atrocious. And I don’t mean the gore, I mean the movie as a whole. I was tempted to turn it off, but I make an effort to never stop watching a movie part way through.

    5 Brokeback Mountain was surprisingly good, imo. I was expecting a lot more “controversial” material, but the story could easily translate to a heterosexual relationship, making it easy to relate to. The acting was phenomenal. I highly recommend that people don’t skip this one just because it’s “gay.” I almost did, and I’m very glad I didn’t.

    6. Haven’t seen it, not too interested.

    Sorry if I stole any thunder, Cheffy. Movies are another passion of mine, right up there with hot sauce! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Haven’t, and can’t say that I will. I’m personally disgusted that people would cash in on a tragedy like that. Had it been a documentery, that would have been a little more suitable, but to make a feature film that is made out to be “the drama movie of the season” turns my stomach. Just my opinion, don’t expect anyone to agree with me.

    I do agree with you Ryan, and I actually said your statement almost word for word to someone last night. I wonder how the families of the people depictied in the movie feel? Did they have to give their consent?

  72. Mrs.Ryan Avatar
    Mrs.Ryan

    if they did give their consent do they also get part of the money the movie makes….?

  73. DEFCON Creator Avatar

    Yes they did, and most were pleased with the movie. People have been exploiting this tragedy for years now, look at Michael “Fat Cow” Moore. The difference between this movie and the schlock that has been presented up until now is the fact the families were consulted beforehand. I don’t plan on seeing the movie as the entire tragedy hit a little close to home (lost 6 good friends, and was about 2 miles from the WTC when they came down), but I’m happy this movie at least makes Americans look like heroes as opposed to other “so-called” films in the past.

  74. jim campbell- Mild to Wild(R) Avatar

    I tend to think as Defcon does on this one. Most of the families gave it their approval and were consulted extensively. The film is being used to donate to the memorial fund also. I don’t know that I’d see it either, but I’m not opposed to seeing it. Hit a little close to home for me too- I lost family. You hit it right that we need to be reminded that we’re capable of producing heroes from ordinary folks!

    I haven’t seen farenheight 9-11 either, and don’t wish to. I’m glad that they got the families consent. I do agree that its great that they’re showing how we will stand up to horrible situations like that. I still don’t like that people will be making any money off this, I think that all the proceeds should go to charity. Of course they have to get a paycheck, but I’m talking if it makes millions, they should cover their overhead and donate the rest. Just my opinion. The other thing that makes me weary of movies like this is that even though they try to stick to the actual story as much as they can, there is always some artistic license taken and something gets changed.

  76. jim campbell- Mild to Wild(R) Avatar

    [Comment ID #32892 Quote]

    And I agree with you there also! In an ideal world, every penny would go to scholarships, memorials, and the like, but alas, it ain’t a perfect world ๐Ÿ˜‰ The ‘artistic license’ is why I won’t see a movie that attempts to protray history- they rarely (okay- never) get it right. I go strictly for entertainment (Gladiator, Last of the Mohicans, Star Wars)- if the movie has a ‘message’ you won’t find me there ๐Ÿ™‚ Last really good movie I saw was Ladder 49. Unlike the lame Backdraft, this one was pretty much dead on… other than too many exploding buildings ๐Ÿ™‚ Looking forward to the Pirates sequel.

  78. DEFCON Creator Avatar

    Agreed Jim, this is not a perfect world, but at least most of the money for this movie IS going to good causes, can’t really ask for much more than that in the morally and ethically devoid land of Hollywood. Personally, I’d like to see Hollywood go the way of Atlantis, but alas this is not to be, but one can dream. Perhaps Tom Cruise can take all the stars with him when his spaceship is ready for launch. Also, as I stated, this movie doesn’t portray Americans as completely inept lemmings as most regarding this topic have. A recent trend I do find aggravating though is that many movies have purposely cut any and all visual reference of the Twin Towers from the film stock, as if it never existed…As if we are supposed to think it never happened. Truly a sad and pitiful commentary indeed, but then again, it IS Hollywood, where $50,000 dresses and dog psychiatrists are the flavor of the day.

  79. Mrs.Ryan Avatar
    Mrs.Ryan

    it is sad they took the towers out of most of the movies, however I understand why the ones being released around that time did it, they were trying to show a little sensitivity. I did not lose anyone in that tragedy although my mother was a little to close for comfort when it happened. I am glad they got the consent of the families, I am happy they are donating even a little money to charity, and I am glad the story was told, but in my opinion, the story was told well by the families of the people on flight 93. hopefully it will never happen again……

  80. DEFCON Creator Avatar

    Point well taken, but the sensitivity thing may have gone a bit overboard. They are technically erasing history on the screen. America must always remember what happened. It would be a sad state of affairs that if in the near or far future, a child, born after the tragedy viewed a film that had the Towers in it, and had to ask his/her parents what those buildings were. With the selective curriculum in schools these days, I fear it will be omitted. Hell, I recently overheard a discussion by a few high schoolers in the area, and they believed Nixon was the cause of WWII, that’s just plain scary. I understand the need for sensitivity, but there is a point when reality must take the place of it. The friends I lost, some of which were my true drinking buddies. I do not want them cast into the Shadows of the Forgotten so little Johnny doesn’t have to see the Towers coming down, but then goes upstairs and rips off enemy’s heads on his X-Box. I fear this is truly a case of selective sensitivity.

  81. Mrs.Ryan Avatar
    Mrs.Ryan

    I see your point and did not mean for you to take it as I don’t think they should ever show the towers or have them omitted from school curriculum or be a taboo subject at home. Our children know what happened and have seen the footage, their school sends home a flyer if they will be studying a sensitive topic in school etc. I am thankful that the few movies that were released did take the towers out of the movies, before being released because of the date being so close to a terrible tragedy, NOW however I think it’s time we move past the tragedy and celebrate the lives lost so they/and it will never be forgotten. and I don’t mean celebrate as in glad they are gone, I mean celebrate that they were here, and we knew them or of them. They are now Icons in America.

    I see we’re on the same page, this is a good thing. I am just amazed at the selective omissions in the current society, attempting to placate the masses with a pseudo-realism, in an attempt to make the world a hazard-free eutopia. I was raised in the military (hence our company’s name) and was subject to first-hand realism nearly every day. It scares me how society is trying to put up a cocoon around our youth, so as to shield them from the numerous realities that an individual MUST face. A few years back, many schools attempted to stop sports programs in general, because those that “couldn’t make the team” would feel inadequate, this is nothing short of nonsensicle. Everyone cannot do everything, and good ‘ol competition not only makes an individual stronger, it prepapres him/her for the inevitable competition they will face later in life, whether it be in the workplace, or just driving on a congested highway (they actually consider a drivers liscence in NJ a priviledge, LOL!). I don’t want to see the erasing of history in any form, merely to perpetuate some weird feel-good sense in an individual who must be totally detached from the real world. Where would it end? Hell, might as well put condos in Arlington Cemetery, and melt the USS Arizona down for scrap to build a Prius. Sorry, this topic is very close to my heart, as it should be for most. Carry on… ๐Ÿ™‚

  85. Mrs.Ryan Avatar
    Mrs.Ryan

    melt it and make a prius, omg LMAO. that was funny, I agree that it should be close to all our hearts, when the towers fell it didn’t just affect people in this country. I don’t think the truth about much will ever come out about our history, the views on who won lost how and why are very skewed in my opinion, and everyone wants to be so politically correct as not to offend anyone else. it’s sad.

  86. DEFCON Creator Avatar

    Politically correctness is a rubber crutch. As my dad said many years ago, “It takes less intelligence to be offended by a joke, than it is to laugh at one”. These words are undeniably true. The PC world is pathetic, it’s not unlike the infamous “Thought Police”. To bend your own morals and ethics in order to subjugate yourself to appease another not only shows a lack of spine, but one of self-loathing. Wow, looks like I’m getting a lot off my mind today, thanks. ๐Ÿ™‚

    While some of the pyrotechniques were- of course- way overblown, Ladder 49 was extremely well done. I saw most of Backdraft & thought it pretty stupid and don’t even get me started on that ‘Rescue me’ farce with Dennis what’s his name. L49 had the life at the firehouse, especially the practical jokes, down cold ๐Ÿ™‚ This firefighter anyway, highly recommends it. There was a lot of attention to detail that the average joe wouldn’t catch, mostly in some of the radio traffic used for background noise.

    The wife was being b**chy with me one day & so I rented it for the evening movie- she hadn”t seen it. No more bi**h ๐Ÿ˜‰

    100% accurate. The PC’ness of current society is a scourge against true greatness. It often requires the complete abandonment of truth and reality. Greatness comes from doing what is right and what is not always easy. Political correctness merely requires the guise of not offending at any cost which is offensive in and of itself. Don’t buy into it.

    Too late! ๐Ÿ™‚ Spring planting is always one of the worst times of the year for me. Everyone wants mash & I’ve none to sell until this crop comes in & it’s when I could use the sales the most. Sigh… I guess if it was easy, everyone’d do it. Wait a minute… they are!! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Just to let everyone know. I watched MI3 tonight. Several good twists. I didn’t think it was too bad. IMO, better than the first two but it is just my opinion!

    I’d just like to make a general statement about how annoying I find it when I’m selling something on Ebay, and someone watching the auction takes the time to send me a message like “The price is too high, you should really lower it.” (Usually made by someone with a 40% positive feedback rating, and a member for three weeks) Okay buddy, I’ll get right on that! ๐Ÿ™‚

  104. jim campbell- Mild to Wild(R) Avatar

    Adam2: Yup, you’d think the market would be the determiner of ‘too high’ or not. They can always make the statement more effective by simply not bidding… and not bothering folks!

    I’ve been thinking about this current topic (which should be scary from the start), and let’s see, the standard Hollywood actor/actress has a very large vacuum between the left and right ear canals, except for Tom Cruise, because he owns the Mother Ship, he’s just a waterhead. If we are able to cause a sonic resonance across Hollywood, perhaps we could perpetuate a mass implosion, and they would all just cease to exist, kind of like Scanners, due to the vacuous cranial cavity. Just a thought.

    In the movie department… just saw MI III. It was alright I guess. Really dragged out a bit, almost to the point of ‘yeah, yeah, get on with it’. A bit predictable but served for decent mindless entertainment- my only requirement of a movie. Well that and scenery.

    This one won’t disappoint you there ๐Ÿ˜‰ The technology is pretty cool, but you’ve got the bad guy figured out in about 20 minutes as well as the plot. As far as sequels go, it isn’t all *that* bad.

    If MI2 was any indication of how this one is, I’ll wait til its on network TV. It should have been titled “Mission Glib” or more so “Tom Cruise Impossible” with all the super-human crap he did in the last one, it was just a hair short of the matrix ๐Ÿ˜›

    Tell me about it. When we got the tickets for the show we told them we wanted 2 for the Tom Cruise movie. I thought it was hilarious but the movie person didn’t laugh! He does many superhuman stunts in this movie as well ๐Ÿ™ For me it was entertainment and not too much more

    Ryan and I watched the skeleton key and when a stranger calls. when a stranger calls is a good movie oppurtunity to scare the crap out of your kids garanteed they will never answer the phone again. there were very few suspenseful bits and the end was mediocre, a pretty predictable movie, but good if you just want to kill some time. The skeleton key was a pretty good movie, better than average ending, the middle was filled with interesting history, however if you think hoodoo and voodoo are evil don’t watch it. it’s filled with the supernatural, magick, not scary per se but suspenseful, quite a twist at the end.
