It seems Mr. Forsmark has a stalker, though he probably hasn't noticed. Going back to Bowfinger, The Insider, and asserting a minority opinion about Traffic is bizarre. 
Guerrilla says the reviewer must be "disinterested," though all the reviews I saw are from OPINON magazines or sites. Then he illogically turns around and says Forsmark should not include any movies Guerrilla considers liberal or have liberal roots. Wouldn't it be bad if he didn't like them? I'm more rightwing than that guy, and I love the movies you highlight. As for the Hawks and Hitchcock references, they seem to be more specific than you imply out of context. Soderburg did display an amazing versatility in his early career, and if he'd made a western would have almost spanned Hawks's range. The fact that he has spend the last several years sucking isn't relelvant. That was reviewing not fortune telling. Besides, G, you must have LOVED Che.
King of the Hill (the Fox show) is one of my favorites, and it skewers PC regularly, and 7th Heaven was harmless pap, moral, I guess, but not political. Why is it weird to say the show is "meaningfully conservative?" 7th Heaven was neither influencial or as long-running. Thanks for directing me to that column, btw, at least you made me aware of a new writer for me to watch for. 
How long have you been stalking this guy? This is a strange rant, but I have to go back to the basics, as I was taught in Basic. You started with the premise that Joe and Ali are buds. So, look in the mirror for "odd observations."  |
It seems that our differing views center around the fact that you're a fan of Joe Frazier, boxing,
King of the Hill, and that you find Mr. Forsmark's review "excellent."
I understand that you think I'm a "guerrilla," a "dufus know it all 'academic,'" that I'm a "stalker," and that my comments constitute a "bizarre" "rant."
Readers can decide for themselves if they agree with your bowdlerization of my comments on this topic and if your subsequent analysis--which relies heavily on name calling--is logical, and if my comments are illogical.
