#1 I can't tell you how much it warms the cockles of my heart to read such a beat-down as this, and to read that military-bashing movies like the excrable "Redacted" are tanking faster than the "Titanic" with the general public.

Just desserts! Just hors d'ouvres! A just main course of crow, to quote P.J. O'Rourke!

You know what? I'll bet that the Hollywood establishment will try and cover those turkeys with all sorts of awards come Oscar time, and the TV audience will turn away from the show in disgust. I can hardly wait!

#2 Mom, if the writers don't settle their strike, there won't be anybody to tell the Hollyweird types what to say at the Oscars. The Oscars ceremony will be downgraded to a press conference, just like the Golden Globes.
As I've said before, why do we care at all what actors/actresses say about anything? Their main qualifications are that they are better looking than average, and they are good at pretending to be someone else, while speaking someone else's words.

#5 If Hildebeast gets elected, woe is the American soldier. Both her and Slick Willie have no love for the military.
