In short, there's nothing to be gained in protesting a movie that nobody is going to see.

But nooooo...it's just Jesus. They can say whatever they want.

"Cough, DOUBLE STANDARD, Cough..."

That being said...I think Steve Coogan is one of the most brilliant comedic actors that I've seen come along in quite a while.

When people say, "Steve Coogan is great..." I get it. When people say "Danny McBride is great..." I don't get it.

Although, we are still living in the same universe as dingbats that go boop-shooby over "Tropic Thunder" or "The Last Temptation of Christ"..

and Beaks, I was just thinking about the Jennifer Grey sitcom the other day slightly wondering if they were ever going to release it on DVD, it's was called "It's like...you know"

did Joel Grey (Jennifer's dad) ever make an apperence, I seem to remember him making one, but I could be wrong

and speaking of Joel Grey I saw an episode of Touched By An Angel with him on it...very strange

it's either the funniest post in the thread or the dumbest...you make the call.

either way, someone needs to laugh OR rip him a new one

Maybe Stiller did a Hamlet parody on his series..

Maybe we're spending WAY too much thought analyzing Mr Saxon..

Ps to all Christians in the crowd: Don't protest Hamlet 2. Just don't see it and explain why to your friends. Protesting makes it look like we care. And/or like we take Hollywood's views on religion seriously. Done

REPEAT:

There's no "Double Standarad" - I'd be happy to think it's a sign that the Christians around here simply aren't as trigger-happy as yer standard religious extremist (Insert your current most-despised Religious/Ethnic group here), and can tell when something was designed to be truly offensive, as opposed to just deliberately idiotic. Although, we are still living in the same universe as dingbats that go boop-shooby over "Tropic Thunder" or "The Last Temptation of Christ"..

It's interesting that I've had to repeat this from the first time that Rootskibango got all righteously huffy yesterday.....What, the Omnipotent Guardians of the Moral Universe can't be bothered to brush up on a measly 100-post thread? Hmm...That would explain a lot of other things, now wouldn't it?

Meanie, you are aptly named.

Beaks wasn't intentionally making fun of yer cousin, you know...you both just stepped into the same Twilight Zone at about the same time, that's all....

classic example of a lousy journalist is one who insists on making himself the story. Thats why this site's glory days are behind it.

The scene where she performs an emergency tracheotomy on one of her friends during a party is PRICELESS! :)

Kurgan - you, me, NOBODY can know what Beak's "context" was when he began writing the review. We know that Beak's INTENT was to get us to read a review he had written about "Hamlet 2", but without either

A) Actually discussing the matter with Beaks himself, or M) Telepathy, I'd have to say that the only definite thing that Beaks actually succeeded in doing was in getting people to read the review, our own decontextualization of his possible philosophical intent notwithstanding. We can only speculate if Beaks also intended to kick a hornet's nest, or we can speculate about his possible motivations for such an act of provocation.

But I'd say that many of us have certainly reached the pathetic stage of instead of discussing the matter itself, we are bickering about what we're bickering about.

, Therefore, Fuck This. I'll go see "Hamlet 2" if somebody I know says, "Hey - Wanna go see "Hamlet 2?" and I am in the mood to watch what, if I go by what several other reviews have written about it, sounds like an average movie about deluded, self-important Experts on the Arts - chuckleheads a lot like many of the posters in this site. If I'm NOT in that sort of mood, and would prefer to, oh, say, stick my dick in a meat grinder, then I'll do that instead. I win either way, and That's That. Selah.

"You are an idiot for using that line. Granted that is very typical of this site and you MrBeaks, being the follower that you are, just step into line like the rest of the talentless writers." Okay, if you want to get defense-attorney-scrambling-fo r-a-technicality loophole, you never actually used the words "pathetic" or "juvenile" - but I think most readers wouldn't take that post of yours that I just quoted (As well as it being the none that I was originally responding to) as being anything complimentary. It's sort of like you calling a somebody a "Knob-Gobbler" or a "Ass Boy", and then you defending yerself by saying, "But I never actually used the word 'Queer'". Now, where was I? Oh, yeah: "I do sympathize with you sir, were I in your shoes and half-baked standing in front of me, he would not be a very happy man."

I SEE now, you were offering to buy me a drink with a little umbrella in it, not at all agreeing with someone who had just expressed an urge to kick the crap out of somebody. (Not to mention that little sticking point of yours, the one about accusing somebody else of "acting tough on the internet".)

I get the impression that you have some serious reading-comprehension issues, if not a deliberately Rovian knack for obfuscation and disingenuous horseshit. Perhaps you should refresh your definition of the phrase "Glass Houses", bub....

I sure as hell don't come here to brush up on my views on journalistic ethics and responsibility, I come here to catch up on the random flame war, check out some industry rumors, maybe steal a good line from Bringing Sexy Back and occasionally to drop a deuce on some of the knuckle-draggers.

I take this site with a whole SHOVEL of salt, not just a grain of it, just like when I catch the newest bit of political assassination on Fox News. It's not about the cheap, sensationalist headlines, it's about studying the trajectory of the slanted, biased horseshit that follows...Seeing where your opponent is coming from can help you prepare a counter-strike, if you know what I mean.

AICN, on the other hand.....I NEVER assume that there are any Hidden Agendas on a site where the phrase "Chocolate-Covered Pussy Juice" is the ne plus ultra of High Praise. Subversive ideological manipulation ain't these guys strong suit....
