Lake of Fire

And you thought a movie couldn't piss you off.

Here's the deal: director Tony Kaye, of American History X
infamy, spent fifteen years putting together a documentary about the
most hot-button issue of modern times. Abortion.
Controversy ensues, natch.

Before I get into this, it
should be noted that apparently, Tony Kaye is a large type fucking
asshole. He's pissed off just about every studio and, quite
possiby, everyone with a pulse in Hollywood. This film won't do
much to change that. He shot in black and white as a knod to the
perception both sides have on the subject of abortion, but the film is
entirely grey, or shades thereof. Get the point?

Niether
side is handed a pass here. The fundamentalist fuck-wads come off as
the hateful, racist idiots they are and the intellectual liberals come
off as cold-hearted pricks. Both sides get equal airtime and both
sides are depicted as scum sucking assholes who, quite franky, are
running the political system of this nation into the ground. Not
that it needs a whole lot of fucking help on that score. Be that
as it may, there is something for everyone here. A preist who
swears that one clinic performed an abortion, then threw the fetus on
to a grill for some afternoon barbecue, and Noam Chomsky verbally deconstructing an argument about
how shit sometimes has to die. There's some pretty sick
post-proceedure shit as well as the aftermath of one of the murders of
a clinic doctor. Yeah, you watch this one, you ain't gettin' out
clean.

Now this flick clocks in at over two-and-a-half hours and
you may be asking yourself why in the name of Loki's fucking ballsack
you'd want to sit through this fucking shit. The answer is this;
the last half hour. I'm not going to give it away to you, but I
can promise you, you will not go untouched by it. For all of the
vitriol from both sides of this thing, what it really boils down to is
simple; you make a choice, you live with consequences. In spite of the
assertions that the intellegencia of this film propose, there is indeed
a
simple answer. But you won't find it in the Bible or a biology
book. The answer, in no small portion, is in the last
thirty minutes of this movie. It is in my opinion anyway.

I
don't know if you'll be swayed by this film, and frankly, I don't give
a shit. If your beliefs can be altered by a movie, then you
didn't really have beliefs in the first place. That said, I don't
give a rat's fucking ass how jaded and cynical you are, the last images
of this flick will get into your head and stay there. How you
interpret them is up to you.

'Nuff Sugar

Another one to the queue

This one is going to be interesting for me to watch, because on one hand, I am fiercely atheist, so you'd think this predisposes me against the religious fundamentalist and in favor of the cold intellectual Noam-Chomsky-Shit-has-to-die pricks, but check this out: on the other I'm actually pro-life. This doesn't endear me with the Dems, but basically my point is: "so, you got knocked up, but don't want to be a mother? Fine. Give the kid up for adoption. Pay with 9 months of your life for your little indiscretion, but let the kid live. You're gonna forget about him anyway, you might as well let him live.". 

So all that is to say, I don't know what side of the issue I'll take, but I think this is my kind of movie. Granted, BigSugar could review a toothpaste commercial in a way that makes me want to see it, but this one I think could help make me sound interesting in conversation. 

We should talk about it next radio show, too!

Criminal

Thing is, it's all fun and games 'til somebody sucks out a
fetus.  A former KKK member is a bigwig in the Pro-lIfe movement
in FL, by the way.  Like William S. Burroughs says, watch whose
money you pick up. 

 

 

If it's just ridiculous, it's bad.

IF IT IS RRIIIDDDIICCUUULLOOUUSS, then it's okay.

hAhA... :)

hes fuken heeeeelarious... 

 

he got some killa points.

 

I was thinking... conservatives should live in San Francisco for a couple years on da streets like me... learn how to be TOLERANT... regardless.

Before my move here... I was hella ignorant.  I still have my values, but I learned that others have theirs also... right or wrong, it still works... world still moves... in a world of chaos, we still have that providence.

 

THE WAY is THE WAY... GOD.

ABORT THE KAYE!

Boy do I have some Tony Kaye stories! I know some inside shit that doesn't make it out to the press that comes from people I know that know him.

But on the subject of abortion. I believe everyone has the right to do whatever the fuck they want. Besides, motherfuckers shouldn't be having kids unless they have completed their career goals, or married the woman they want to have kids with--and even in that scenario--have the good job to be able to take care of the little fucker that pops out of your woman.

I'm just always disgusted by all these activest people. They're all usually vegetarians also.  Everyone is trying to prove to prove some fucking point. Vegeterians think we're wrong for killing animals to make hamburgers with. Fuck that. If they're against killing, isn't a fucking plant a living thing? Besides, it's a part of life. We're supposed to eat everything! Everything is good for you! Our body needs proteins! Not fucking leaves all the time!

 So in saying that, we need to fuck. It's part of life! And if the woman gets pregnant and doesn't want to have a kid, or the father doesn't want to have a kid, then abort! What's wrong with it! It's their choice, not ours our anyone else's but theirs!

It's like this whole gay marriage shit. Gay people in California can now get married. So that means Eric Bumpus and Dan Gadberry could finally tie the knot. Do I care? Nope. Why do people fucking care! Cause it's unnatural? I agree with that. Yes it is unnatural. There is nothing natural about a man wanting to ram his fucking cock up another man's hairy asshole. But if some guy feels compelled to do that, then let him. How does that affect me or anyone else!

If gay people want to get married, let them. How does that affect anyone! Some of you might be fucking the ugliest woman alive. I consider that worse cause now you're contributing to creating bad genes! But do I care. Nope.

If you're ugly, please...please go gay. Stop polluting our society with bad genes, welfare, ghettos and more fucked up people.

This is why I'm an athiest. Cause I don't believe in all these religious rules and bullshit values that travel around the world trying to conform people and leading armies into wars in the name of the fucking bible or any other fucking form of religion that has been the backbone to more wars in the history of mankind than the devil himself can even count.

You want an abortion. Get it. You want to get married to your gay partner. do it. If you're hot and single and want to be a slut. Give me a call. haha
