10 About damn time:

The FBI has begun looking into the security of Hillary Rodham Clinton's private e-mail setup, contacting in the past week a Denver-based technology firm that helped manage the unusual system, according to two government officials.

Also last week, the FBI contacted Clinton's lawyer, David Ken­dall, with questions about the security of a thumb drive in his possession that contains copies of work --mails Clinton sent during her time as secretary of state.


So she wiped the server clean (allegedly) after *printing* the subset of SoS business-related emails and turning them over to State --- but her lawyer got a handy, dandy thumb drive containing this subset (and potentially more?) in electronic form.

What.An.Asshole.Move.

If you are talking about the original True Grit with John Wayne I agree. I didn't like the re-pop. Now it really would have been great if they traded the Matti from the new one for the Mattie from the old one. And got rid of Glenn Campell who blew chunks.

54 They don't make movies for adults anymore. It has been so long since they released a good movie I can't think of what it was,

Those are two different statements.

They don't make *good* movies for adults - this is true. But they do make good movies (just about anything Pixar, for starters, and there's lots more) and they do make movies for adults. Just not at the same time.

Eh. That's not even fair, really. I really liked Mad Max: Fury Road. Two hour car chase with explosions and people dying - exactly the kind of popcorn movie I wanted. I like the Marvel movies (I haven't seen Ant Man, and don't really intend to, and I'm not sure about Fantastic Four). Jurassic World was another good popcorn flick.

Nothing wrong with those.

But their attempts at non-popcorn adult movies all flop because people don't go to the movies (in general) to be preached at.

63 If only it occurred to them that they could just tell a good story w/nuanced characters and let us draw our own conclusions about what it all means.

If they did that, more people might draw icky Conservative conclusions.

They don't mind that in action movies because they view action movies as puerile entertainment for the plebeians. Those people are hardly more than animals (to the Progtard H-Wood mind), and can't be expected to understand nuance anyway.

So any movie with deep characters *must* have a Progtard message- because a) that's what the Priests say and b) because one of those plebeians might be in the audience, and we couldn't risk him discovering a Conservative message in our nuanced characters.

Not true. The Equalizer was well done.

But... in a way... yeah- that's the point. The American version of an action hero has always been a Superhero. Every one of them has "their thing" where they're positively super-human.

That even goes back to the John Wayne/Clint Eastwood days of westerns and war movies. They may have been beat to hell at the end, but no one *normal* could actually survive what they went through.

The ones where they do play normal people are either a) not action movies (despite the war or western setting) or b) the ones where they die (which is always more shocking when it's a Wayne or Eastwood, because we *do* see them as superheros).

The fact that they're more overt now is just a stylistic choice. People have been telling stories about the adventures of superheros since ancient Mesopotamia. See Also: Gilgamesh, Epic of.

100 One other movie that is fairly new that I thought was pretty good was The Book of Eli with Denzel Washington. It was released in 2010.

That one was really good, though I can't say I "enjoyed" it. It was too dark for "enjoyment" to be the correct word. But I did appreciate and like it.

Also, Mila Kunis is kinda hot.

103 They don't make movies for adults anymore. It has been so long since they released a good movie I can't think of what it was,

The Artist
was a good movie - no violence, pleasant people and a happy ending. Of course, it was a modern silent, so the audience was limited. But you could do a hell of a lot worse.

The trailers for Mission: Impossible and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. actually look interesting, but my problem is that I can't stand being in a movie theater with other people. And since I don't have the money to rent out a theater for the day for myself, I probably won't see either until they hit Netflix, which takes away from the big-screen power of the two.

Last night I watched Gold Diggers Of 1933. It's better than 50% of the junk Hollywood's put out in the last 10 years. Here's gold-digging chorus girl Joan Blondell showing off her assets to sugar daddy Guy Kibbee:

104 Which is the lamer adolescent fantasy, superhero movies or leftist politics?

At least the superhero movies tend to promote some pretty solid values...

And the chicks are hot whereas in leftist politics . . .

106 >>Not true. The Equalizer was well done.

Ooh, you're right. Similar to John Wick, but much better overall. Probably helps that it starred Denzel Washington, since he makes every movie he's in better.

107 The Equalizer was fun, but Man On Fire was much better. You really, really enjoy watching Creasy go ape-s**t on those kidnapping scumbags.

108 I thought "John Wick"-or as I like to call it, "Keanu Reeves Murders New York City"- was the best action movie I've seen in the last 3-4 years. All the mayhem was expertly choreographed and shot so that the audience could actually follow what was going on, instead of this seizure inducing shaky cam crap

110 I thought Ex Machina was a worthwhile movie.

111 Did anyone else start watching this trailer and think they mixed up the Deadpool trailer with one for a Lance Armstrong biopic?
