Re: Foreign films
There is, I think, some justification for the 'foreign' movie tag. Hollywood is, after all, the entertainment cinema of the world, not just the US, and the non-American films that achieve wide...

In any event, everything I've said is statistically documented. Go to the CDC page for HIV stats, you'll see that homos and junkies account for more than 70% of all US HIV/AIDS cases.

Re: Homophobia vs. racism
What rights are being denied homosexuals in the Western world?
Note the phrasing. I expect a listing of RIGHTS not PRIVILEGES.

It is vastly more prevalent in the gay community, if nothing else.
But, in actual fact, the average gay man in the US has something like 10 times as many sexual partners in his lifetime...

Of course it did - I'm just pointing out that there are perfectly rational grounds for objecting to homosexual behavior.

AIDS is a problem tied almost exclusively to behavior patterns. The concurrency networks of many African societies are mirrored in the West by behavior patterns within the gay community.

Re: I'm Not There - Who Will Make the Best Bob Dylan.
Blanchet (who is very much like Bob 'Dylan' in that everything she does is undermined by excessive affect, and in that she has a vagina) wins hands down.

I think it's a little misleading to pass of Waters as merely a 'love-him-or-hate-him' guy, without mentioning that the 'love-him-or-hate-him' dynamic tends to be defined by whether one agrees with...

Re: Golden Compass (Anti God flick released at Christmas, bad taste?)
I think it's a grand idea. Of course, if I had my druthers, they'd re-release Triumph of the Will in theaters just in time for the "Day of Remembrance," so maybe I'm not the best person to ask...

Except that Mifune, for all that he is most closely associated with Kurosawa, did the majority of his films for other directors. Remember, Mifune stayed extraordinarily busy throughout the 50s, 60s...
