Deep Culture Thought
I can’t wait to see the new Star Trek Movie. I hear it taps into the upbeat and optimistic mood of the country brought about by the election of Barack Obama in the same way the last movie sucked ass as a metaphor for how much Bush sucked.
Also…I hope they show how Kirk defeated the Kobayashi Maru.
Huzzah!
Isn’t it amazing that the economy’s in the crapper, unemployment is high, new torture allegations are coming out everyday and the right track number is the highest it’s been in years? There really is a sense of optimism.
P.S. I can’t wait to see the new Star Trek movie. When does it start?
When wingnuts everywhere were belligerently identifying with the movie 300, bet that Hube didn’t object to that. There was even some claim that the last Batman movie was a GWB allegory, with all of that unlawful surveillance for the greater good and so on. Even better was that howler of a list of the best conservative movies — all I remember was that Brazil was on the list and thinking that somewhere Terry Gilliam was mad as hell.
New Star Trek movie is out 8 May I think.
Brazil is awesome. …and about as far away from a conservative movie as it is possible to get.

May 8th (I know as I am a Trekkie, Trekker whatever name we’re going by now) 🙂
How was Star Trek: Nemesis an allegory to the Bush Administration? It was filmed and produced in 2001 and released in 2002.
Oh, I see what you are saying. It sucked ass, and as such it was an allegory to Bush. Gotcha. LOL.
Here’s that crazy ass list. This probably counts as a Point and Laugh moment.
That is a crazy-ass list. I love that Pulp Fiction reflects Hollywood’s worldview…
I do hate that they have stolen several of my favorite movies (Incredibles, Juno, Groundhog Day). It is also funny that United 93 actually is a movie that proves that flying planes into buildings is no longer possible, since we know the drill now. Yet we spend billions of dollars preparing for the last attack.
LOL. The description of Groundhog Day reads:
I think there were watching a different movie.
He had to bed the woman before he could get to the next day. Explains some of their weird sexual behavior.
The stealing, in the main, forces them to twist complete narratives to their own narrow interests — Juno isn’t a pro-life movie, it is a profoundly pro-choice movie with a pretty unapologetic look at the business of making that choice and living with it.
But I love how they claim Metropolitan as a love letter to the upper class that we couldn’t live without. 🙄
