Et Tu Angelina?

User avatar

Today I Weep.


With a heavy heart I denounce Angelina Jolie. For non-person J has brought much happiness to my life. Hetero-men and lesbian comrades around the world have admired her beauty and activism.

However she has committed a Thought Crime™ so hideous that she is be purged and sent immediately to The Karl Marx Treatment Center for re-education.

Image

What has our Goddess done you may ask. Let me me tell you. She has written an op-ed piece for the Washington Post where she wrote the following Thought Crimes™.
The request is familiar to American ears: "Bring them home." But in Iraq, where I've just met with American and Iraqi leaders, the phrase carries a different meaning. It does not refer to the departure of U.S. troops, but to the return of the millions of innocent Iraqis who have been driven out of their homes and, in many cases, out of the country.
LIES ALL LIES.


In Baghdad, I spoke with Army Gen. David Petraeus about UNHCR's need for security information and protection for its staff as they re-enter Iraq, and I am pleased that he has offered that support. General Petraeus also told me he would support new efforts to address the humanitarian crisis "to the maximum extent possible" -- which leaves me hopeful that more progress can be made.
She has collaborated with the enemy General Betrayus.


What we cannot afford, in my view, is to squander the progress that has been made. In fact, we should step up our financial and material assistance.
Progress? GASP!

As for the question of whether the surge is working, I can only state what I witnessed: U.N. staff and those of non-governmental organizations seem to feel they have the right set of circumstances to attempt to scale up their programs. And when I asked the troops if they wanted to go home as soon as possible, they said that they miss home but feel invested in Iraq. They have lost many friends and want to be a part of the humanitarian progress they now feel is possible.
Military criminals as humanitarians? Insanity!


I think the case to purge has been made. Follow my lead comrades, remove your non-person J wallpaper and screen savers and never speak her name until her re-education is complete. I Maksim Maksimovich will make it my personal duty to oversee her treatment, even perform the procedures on her myself if necessary. So there is Hope™.

BTW: Brad is still with us.

User avatar
A sad day for Progressive Socialism. We should have seen this coming when she and Brad optioned the rights to produce a movie version of Atlas Shrugged. I suppose too that the rotten apple doesn't fall far from the regressive fascist tree, considering that the non-person who fathered her is a know Enemy Of The People And The Party™. In spite of all the kinkiness in her younger days and nude scenes in her earlier films, in spite of her Progressive, Hollywood-style domestic situation, in spite of her work with the fecking UN, it is obvious that the regressive evil within is coming to the surface.

I want this woman ex-communicated from Hollywood, now! Angelina Jolie is dead to me, Comrades. Dead to me!

Just who in the festering poop-laden streets of Detroit does this little tart think she is? Who is she to say things are going well in the quagmire that is Iraq and who gave her permission to think for herself in the first place? And why am I asking questions when I can simply make my own assumptions on the matter and have everyone tell me that my assumptions are indeed the truth?

Comrades, this kind of speech will not be tolerated so long as I am Queen Bee around these parts. I mean, this little tart is gorgeous and an excellent puppet for the U.N and here she is – pretty face and all – spouting Pro-Victory vitriol when we explicitly require all actors, actresses, directors, producers, assistants and the occasional model giving sexual favors for a B-movie role strict talking-points which DENOUNCES any and all things “Pro-American” or “Pro-Victory”. Phew. That was a long sentence, Comrades, and Mama Nancy needs something to cool down. Perhaps a nice tall glass of iced tea with Metamucil is the ticket. Fetch me my Metamucil tea , Commissar M!

One shot of vodka or two, my Beloved Progressive Flower? Hopefully, the new slave girl personal assistant gets it right, least she meet the fate of the last one.

She met the same fate as the last one - THE MICROWAVE! I have an unusual habit of popping proles in the microwave and, well, forgetting about them while they cook for several hours on HIGH power.

Speaking of exploding prole in the microwave; you better get your gloves and some cleaner, Commissar M, and get busy scraping what is left of Lisa. I really don't want the fleshy remains - mixed with the nacho cheese that we heated up last night - smelling up my dacha and forcing me to hold a hankey to my nose. You know how sensitive my prosthetic nose is to nasty smells and how it pops off! You know how my nose pops off, Commissar M!

Speaking of Angelina, I think if she makes one movie in which she acts as a US Marine kicking terrorist butt, and this movie is seen around the world, she could help the victory, shorten the war, save lives, and advance freedom in the Middle East more effectively than the politicians can, because she would popularize the cause of freedom in the minds of men. At least in the minds of those men who treasure her pinups, wallpaper, and screen savers. And that's a lot of men around the world, including the Middle East.

Until now, all the Hollywood activists have done is undermined the faith in freedom and the American cause, which has ultimately protracted the conflict, taken more lives of both Americans and Iraqis, and spread the misery across the world - while making money for themselves.

Ah, Maksim! You would have my heart if only I hadn't already pledged it for all eternity to the totally hunkalicious Ahmadinejad, Che, Putin, Brad Pitt--the only man for me!

Oh, I just know Brad is sweet and sensitive; and that he, like, totally understands me!

I am currently undergoing some very painful procedures to have tattoos of all those previous jerks removed, so I can replace them with Brad's gorgeous likeness. Comrades, your generous donations of vodka will help ease my horrible agony!

Who will win my favor (and four extra beet rations) by bringing me a picture of Brad wearing something red? (Remember--no shirts!)

User avatar
Something like this?

What a douche.... Now where are my beets?

User avatar
Here's a picture that's reminiscent of our Dear Lenin...I can almost hear the words coming from Comrade Pitt's mouth...
V.I. Lenin said rather than wrote:...The millions of victims who will fall in the war, and as a consequence of the war, will not fall in vain. The millions who are starving, the millions who are sacrificing their lives in the trenches, are not only suffering, they are also gathering strength, are pondering over the real cause of the war, are becoming more determined and are acquiring a clearer revolutionary understanding. Rising discontent of the masses, growing ferment, strikes, demonstrations, protests against the war—all this is taking place in all countries of the world. And this is the guarantee that the European War will be followed by the proletarian revolution against capitalism.

Hey, it was red, or at least partially red, and it was not a shirt! By Lenin, you need to be more specific! You are now on double dog probation!!

No! No! I am not going to do that. We are working together and this sort of bickering simply must stop. So I simply beseech you, please be more specific in your requests Commissarka. Shoot, were it not for google, I wouldn't even know who this Brad Pitt is. I can't say if I have even seen him in a movie.

SHEESH! ALL THESE SHADES OF PINK, AND THEY'RE ALL CRAP! BUT THEY'RE NOT RED!



See the difference? How specific must I be? It is so simple a request. He can wear a shirt. All I ask is that it not be a red shirt, because then he's obviously doomed.

And I triple dog dare you to put me on double dog probation!

I'll bet Blue Bell doesn't have this problem.

There can be no pink without red Commissarka. As you should know, I am an expert in vision, and there are no pink cones in your eyes, only red, blue, and green cones. All colors come from this. Now I did find a picture of your bourgeois movie star sans clothes (not that impressive I must add), if you would settle for that.

Pupovich: I know where pink comes from. I've seen Operation Petticoat.

I know exactly what I want. If I wanted pink, I would say pink. If I wanted purple, I would say purple.

But I said red!

And as for offering me a picture of him without clothes, how dumb do you think I am? Do I have "MIME" stamped on my forehead? After what I've seen in the way of so-called naked men on the Cube lately, I can only imagine just how "not that impressive" your naked Pittpic is!

I am afraid to even ask what CMYK stands for, just rest assured, there are only 3 types of color cones in your eyes, and rods for black and white and brightness.

User avatar
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black). Photoshop allows you to use either color scheme for color documents, but RGB is better. Most printers, color copiers, and plotters however, use CMYK.

Commissar Pupovich wrote:I am afraid to even ask what CMYK stands for, just rest assured, there are only 3 types of color cones in your eyes, and rods for black and white and brightness.
Just to expand on the Premier's explanation: CMYK is a color model used in press printing (you've seen it - just think of the way comic book coloring looks).

The CMYK color model is based on printing and ink absorbing into paper. To gain the greatest number of printable colors, from the fewest number of inks, CMYK color printing is used. By using varying amounts of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black, a great number of colors can be printed. Most full color printed materials, magazines, posters, packaging, are printed using just the 4 CMYK inks. Here the level of ink is measured from 0% to 100%. As an example, orange would be represented by 0% Cyan 50% Magenta 100% Yellow and 0% Black.

Here's a good illustration of how the process works:

So, a movie star has a thought-crime? Well, whatever. You people are all still crazy. (You would think that a woman with so much $$$$$ would not be so liberal, which is prove that Hollywood stars have not concept of reality.)

Hollywood is filled with actors! We are actors! Communists and actors are synonymous because we are nothing more than pretenders who weave a story beyond belief where everyone is happy and there are no worries. We pretend to be Amerikkkans, but we are servants of the motherland, we pretend to be patriotic, but we hate this country, we pretend to care about the people, but we would send them all to their deaths if it would mean one more plate of caviar on the table for our parties. Hollywood actors are the same, only they are trashier, idiotic, and pawns to our cause. And they are the equivalent of a hobo winning the lottery.

Oh yes, this is ever so glorious, Maksim! I, too, am jealous of the shovel. And maybe that's not so much a red shirt as a red tunic.

Hey you, in the pink ruffled dress with the big pink bow and ruffled rhumba pants. Yes, I mean you, Pupovich! Behold the color red in all its glory!

All that matters is what is in my heart! How I feel! How much I care! And to prove it, I wear all these Awareness ribbons and Givestrong wristbands (check out the snazzy new orange ones that show how much I care about the oppressed, illegally detained prisoners at Gitmo).

If only the whole world cared . . . just cared as much as I do . . . what a wonderful world that would be!

But surely Jim Dandy made you forget all about this this.... Brad Pit character? As it happens, the movie on TV now, Troy, apparently stars this Brad Pitt, though I haven't been able to figure out who he is as of yet.

Doesn't he play the Greek Achilles (t3h homo)?

User avatar
He may, I haven't really been watching it so far since Party business always comes first. Problem is I just can't associate Brad Pitt's face or voice. He doesn't look any different than a gazillion other guys. I don't even know the color of his hair since it seems different in just about every picture I have seen of him. He doesn't have a distinctive look like say John "a Real Man" Wayne or Steven Segal for instance, who you would recognize in any movie or character.

Oh yeah. forgot. Sorry Comrades, this sort of art work does nothing for me. I prefer cartoons to be cartoons, and real action to be real. This sort blurs the two.

User avatar
That's because it's based off the 300 comic book. The art direction was trying to integrate live action with a gritty comic book artistic style. But if you don't like the cinematography you should still see it. That is a really poor excuse not to see one of the best action movies out there.

User avatar
I have read the story of the battle, and frankly, the previews of the movie just didn't impress me. I am not a big fan of ancient stories in the first place.... swords and arrows etc. I did see Beowolf, and it also had that type cinematography, It is impressive what it can do, and I sort of enjoyed the movie, but then the story line was in many ways more interesting.

Tell you the truth, consistently over the past couple of years, I love the Tyler Perry movies, They have all been funny, well acted, and clean enough that you don't have to warn parents to keep their kids from seeing them. Action wise, I did enjoy Untraceable, and I actually liked Rambo.

User avatar
Me too, old battles with swords and arrows, yawn. I perfer present and forward (you will catch me watching a WWII movie now and again though) battles. Why deal with swords and knives when you can just nuke them all!! (HA!HA!HA!HA!{chocking})

Anyhow, so yea, present and future is where it is at. Guess that is part of the reason why I like StarGate and BattleStar Galatica so much.

Anybody ever see the movie Firewall with Harrison Ford? I know that it has been out for awhile, but I have only now gotten to it. I liked it. I hear that he is playing on a new one where he plays as a secret service agent for the president.

User avatar
I can enjoy some from further back, to the War of Northern Aggression, but I am still waiting to see one with a good ending.

CHARACTER OFF
Sadly, it seems every movie with a war theme now, can only be produced if it shows the US soldier as either a sick terrorist nutcase, or the US as losers one way or the other. Did any of you notice that the last movie that actually showed a US military operation as heroic and good, was On Deadly Ground? Of course that was set in the perfectly just military action of the Bosnia-Serb conflict that had the blessing of the Clintons, Which needless to say was also the last time we used military force that was not protested by the left.

User avatar
(Pinkie off)

When I was a little girl, one of the local TV channels had a "John Wayne Theater" on Saturday afternoons, where they played his really old movies, mostly from the '40's. I have vague memory of patriotic endings to some of these movies, with marching troops singing and all that. I remember my mother (who was apolitical during my childhood but took to voting Democrat after I grew up) said those endings were to get you all gung-ho so you'd run down to the recruiting office and enlist. If you look up some of those movies (e.g. Fighting Seabees, Flying Tigers etc.) on the Internet Movie Data Base, many of the reviews deride them as pro-war propaganda and for their (gasp!) negative portrayal of the Japanese.

User avatar
Okay, I agree that shoot 'em ups are better than sword battle movies, but 300 is just that good. It is better than most gunfight movies, and don't think about comparing 300 to Beowulf. That movie sucked. You will watch 300 even if it means that I have to strap you to a chair in front of a TV with clamps keeping your eyelids open.

User avatar
CHARACTER OFF
I agree with Betty. Watch 300. You will not be disappointed if you liked Beowulf. While not entirely accurate to the actual Battle of Thermopylae, the stylization and ferocious retelling of the tale of Leonidas and the 300 Spartans makes up for any discrepancies.
<br>As Right Wing News puts it:
I could also add that the movie is pro-war, morally unambiguous, and it is also unashamed about putting forth the message that freedom is vitally important and worth fighting for -- (by now, you've probably guessed that liberals will hate this movie and you're right).

She was right... all movies were like that then. Gasp! Hard to believe now, but there once was a time when Hollywood, at least publicly, actually wanted the US to be victorious. I have seen these IMDB and other reviews deride those films for being pro-war, which just goes to show that it is a damn good thing we have nukes now, for there is no way in hell this country could fight and win another conventional world war as we have in the past, even if our very existence required it, because the public does not have the stomach for it, and any expression of said patriotism is derided,
