Movie Thread

There is a documentary about the income tax called America: Freedom to Fascism. Has anyone seen that one. You can Google the title and watch the whole thing online. It is about 1 hour long.

Yes very informative..they show it on PBS quite often.

Watched Book of Eli last night. It was OK.

One of my favorite scenes from The Jerk. I feel like I was born too late. If I ever wrote a movie it'd be just like this one.

anybody else see this? what'd you think of it?

I saw it when it was released, and while I was watching it I couldn't decide if it was the best movie ever made or the worst.

In hindsight I think it was an interesting idea poorly executed.

One of my favorite book series is called Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. From the previews of Push, it seems like the movie ripped off the idea, but I can't tell since I haven't seen it. One of my friends that have all read the Mistborn books and saw Push said that Push basically ripped off the idea though. I might have to check it out just to see what I think (and how pissed I get).

[Ah Pook]

Someone watched a LOT of blacksploitation movies.

In the immortal review style of Joe Bob Briggs;

Kung fu 10
Boob fu 7
Flashback fu 5
Drug fu 8
Fool fu 100

Heat
Miami Vice
The Kingdom
Collateral
Last of the Mohicans (1992)
Manhunter
These all have something in common other than being all very good movies.

Terry Goodkind's Confessor series as mentioned in pg one or two has a lot more than the philosophies of Ayn Rand in them. There are a lot of other philosopher's views reflected within the work, and more than a little military doctrine in it. I suspect there's some counterintelligence dealings in Goodkind's background. BTW, they made this into a tv series that absolutely blew chunks...

If you want to watch a movie that reflects the origins of the 5th amendment, watch "Man for All Seasons". It's hard to come by though. It was the 1966 Best Picture.
