Put that H word where it sticks

***If I said that Chatlton Heston was "stupid" because he reflected the narrow-minded views of the Hollywood "wrong"-wingers I'm sure that folks like you would get on my case about dragging politics into the film forum.

You are simply starting to invent the facts now. Show me where I got on your case for discussing Heston, or just drop that silly presumptive tone. That H word is all yours.

***Two points:

***First of all, the burdon of proof of Alda's intent to promote a political agenda in the interview on Inside the Actor's Studio" rested with Mike who simply used his interpretation of events to vent his political views on this forum. If his intent was to convince myself and others of Alda's intent to turn Inside the Actor's Studio into a platform for Liberal political views, Mike failed to convince me.

First - I think it would be fair to request the abstanance on both sides, if the said actors only stopped to shove their idiotic agendas in our faces.

As we all know - they can't control themselves, they wear it one every sleeve of their Gucci cloth. So there, for as long as they do it, we have the right to include that in our discussion.

***Secondly, THAT TYPE OF DISCUSSION HAS NO PLACE IN THIS FORUM as I've stated repeatedly, but you apparently refuse to acknowledge this.

I already stated that this is not your right to dictate to the rest of inhabitants what they are allowed to say. When and if you are appointed a moderator then we shall start listening... or running away. Until then - I see no reason to listen to your demands.

***How? Left-wing movie plots? Which one's?

I provided you with two, and could dump many more, but see no reason.

And as I stated before, all comments about films and their makers belong here, I think. But this is getting really boring. You are not getting anywhere with your childish demands and you are getting angrier. If you really feel that offended, then go to the moderators, solicit their opinion and if they agree with you, then as I said, we shall make our decisions. Until then - keep complaining if you want.

Regarding the ribbons - you seem to be missing my point entirely. Wear them any place you want, on any part of yoru body, that is perfectly fine with me.

BUT... then shut up and don't get upset when people discuss your ribbons.

You make statement - listen to the reaction. But that notion is completely alien to the liberals.

However - unlike you I am not demanding that anyone stays away from some discussion simply because I may not like the subject or the direction.

***WOW! Talk about political rhetoric! I never said that Thelma and Louise was a masterpiece, nor did I say it was without an agenda, although not necessarily as strong a political one as you're implying. Philadelphia was a film I don't recall discussing in our earlier posts, but since you've chosen to bring it up, how do you perceive it as a politically leftist movie? I think that you're lost in the woods finding fault with the premise of Philadelphia and I suggest you consult some of your Log Cabin Republican buddies before getting stuck out there permanently!

I think you are refusing to think while reading. I really don't care whether you discuss their agendas - do it all you want. You yourself brought the T&L plot up as something of a social value - did I request you stopped talking about it?

But your tone is getting sillier and more capricious. Why don't you simply just read the posts that don't offend you, and let the others say and listen to other things? As it is now you are displaying the perfect case of New Wave Liberal McCarthyism.
