Same posters in SoHo this weekend. I think it's kind of over-the-top. I personally would have gone with Snake/Charmer or something to that effect. But then I don't do it for a living, obviously.

Jeff, how naive do you think we are that for one minute we would entertain the idea that the devil/angel campaign was anything more than a professional job?

We try not to insult your intelligence, please don't insult ours.

I have proof that Oliver Stone is working for the government. He always has been.
He is an agent provocateur, a double agent who started out in the Phoenix Program.
His movies are part of a disinformation campaign that the government runs through their Film Industry fronts.
This is a man who was given carte blanche to mythologize the sixties, which he did, in needlessly ridiculous fashion, I might add.
You want to know who a true subversive is?
Paul Verhoven.
Oliver Stone is a sour prankster, a con artist, someone so odious that Martin Scorsese wanted nothing to do with him. Oliver Stone is the Steven Seagal of directors.
You think just any director is allowed to go over to Cuba and sit with Fidel?
Don't you know anything about history?
The people running this country are Cold Warriors, both literally and figuratively.
Platoon is not a political film.
It's a coming of age story.
A Separate Peace with headbands and classic rock.
It doesn't have one wit of understanding about systems of power, not like The Chocolate War.
Oliver Stone took the politics out of the sixties with his string of papier-mache counter-culture epics.
He turned the sixties into a cartoon.
And now he doesn't even have the decency to do the same to the petty criminals running this country.
No, they get treated seriously.
Or, I should say, W. does.
Because Oliver Stone identifies with W.
They're both rich kids who idolized and hated their daddies. Oliver Stone doesn't have the balls to drop W.'s pants and show him for the little whiny brat he is because that would be exposing himself.
And he can't expose himself.
Because there is something he doesn't want us to know and that's that he's a fraud, a traitor, the man he always has been.

And Deathtongue: Go berate someone who gives a fuck, like a waiter or something, or the guy at the drive through at Taco Bell. I bet you love getting upset and frustrated with people in the service sector. I bet it gives you a boner.

I WANT TO MAKE A POINT ABOUT JOSH BROLIN:

For like a decade I've thought he LOOKS NOOOOOOOTHING LIKE HIS OLD MAN, JAMES BROLIN.

Like, NO RESEMBLANCE WHATSOEVER.

Suddenly, when he plays BUSH, Josh is the SPITTING IMAGE of late-era TRAFFIC-style Silver Fox James.

It's like suddenly in his 40s he finally looks like his old man.

I'm glad they put "devil" and "angel" under the pictures. I wouldn't have gotten the subtle symbolism otherwise.

I like those posters more than what they went with in the end, even though those are good too.

Yes, it's a crowded season but Bigelow stands alone as the star female director this year. Too bad they aren't releasing for Oscar.

actionman says ...

Given how every single movie set in the middle east has completely tanked at the box office, The Hurt Locker will be lucky to see a nation-wide release, whenever it gets thrown into theaters next year.

I think it looks fucking awesome. I can't wait to see it. That one shot in the Italian trailer of the solider being blown backwards from the explosion was a real eye opener. Bigelow has always had the action chops.

Same posters on 49th between 9th and 10th, but they're just the heads against a white backdrop. Looks a bit better than pasted over the posters like that.

I know that statue! It's in front of Rock Sugar Pan Asian Bistro in the Century City Mall!

Milkman - do you really think I give a fuck what you think? Does anyone? At least Burmashave and Rich S. have something interesting to say, while if you had an intelligent thought it would kill itself out of loneliness.

Go back to blowing your dog or whatever it is that you when you aren't boring the fuck out of everyone.

MilkMan says ...

Oh, Deathtongue, but I care what you think. I know who you are. You're one of those people who wandered over here after seeing Jeff on O'Reilly, and now you think you can harass him and make your nasty little comments without anyone noticing. But I notice. Look at your first comment above. Can't you hear how your voice drips with contempt? Nasty comments between anonymous commenters is one thing, that's expected, but you don't even give Jeff the courtesy of knowing who it is that hates him. I mean, you know who he is, right? You know what he looks like, right? Aren't there any Rush Limbaugh blogs you can patronize? Nope, I guess not. You're here to stay, doing your Stephen Colbert impersonation, and so am I, doing whatever it is that I do, who knows, I'm sure you can help me figure it out. But see, here's the thing: You have no breath. You have no stamina. You can't type for more than a minute without getting bored of your own voice. That's the difference between people like you and people like me. I might bore other people, but at least I don't bore myself, while you are guilty on both counts. I bet if you tried to write for five minutes straight your language would degrade to the point of unintelligibilty. I come here to unload my thoughts and sometimes I get into a dialogue with other people, most of the time I don't, and it's fine either way. The person I never try and talk to is Jeff. But people like you, that's all you want. You want to engage with someone who doesn't even know you exist. So you needle and hector and provoke. It's kind of sad. Like I said, maybe you should pick someone else to take out your agressions on. Maybe my dog. You can kick my dog after I'm done blowing him. Would you like that? Or maybe you should call your dad and scream at him, or your mom, ask them what kind of parents they were to raise a child who spends his/her time picking fights in cyberspace. I asked my daddy and mommy the same question and they told me they didn't do anything wrong, that they were perfect parents, gave me everything I want, which is true. Or maybe you could say something nasty to one of your coworkers. Do you have a job? I don't. I'm going to assume that you don't either. Maybe that's why you're so angry that you can only manage to sputter out a few sentences at a time.

Been reading Jeff since his days at reel.com and you obviously haven't read anything else I've written on here in the last couple of weeks to judge by the laughable statements above about my political affiliations and length of postings.

But thanks for confirming your ignorance for all to read.

MilkMan says ...

No one cares who you are or what you stand for. You sound like a tool, and that's what's important. And you're fucking humorless. Take your butt plug out. Relax. Let it fly. There is no audience. That's all in your head. These posts are so banal, no one is reading them except for the losers who have nothing else to do, mainly me. Yes, I would be confirming my "ignorance for all," except there is no "all," don't you get that yet? How can people be bored by me when no one is reading my comments? Except for you, of course. I forgot about you. You're reading this. Even if you don't respond, I think it's safe to assume that you are reading this because you can't help yourself. Uh-oh, the audience is getting restless, Deathtongue. Time to dance.

I am acutely aware that you have not elected me as your President by your ballots, and so I ask you to confirm me as your President with your prayers. And I hope that such prayers will also be the first of many. If you have not chosen me by secret ballot, neither have I gained office by any secret promises. I have not campaigned either for the Presidency or the Vice Presidency. I have not subscribed to any partisan platform. I am indebted to no man, and only to one woman -- my dear wife -- as I begin this very difficult job.cheap tiffany co jewelry
