I liked Defiance very much. HOWEVER it wasn’t a very good, or maybe full is the better word, portrayal of The Bielski Brothers, who they were, all they did and what they stood for. If you’re so inclined I have a full opinion up at Infidel Bloggers Alliance.

It should be obvious that the point behind ‘Notorious’ is the same point that hOllywood wants us all to believe. That somehow being a creator of art frees you from all morality. That somehow, writing a good song or making a good movie absolves you of all the crimes in your life. Sorry, it ain’t so.

Hip hop fans will probably flock to the Wallace movie because that culture WORSHIPS the “scumbag”. Check out some of the stupid talent shows lately that hip hop is represented in. Five year old kids are indoctrinated in mind, body and soul to the criminal sub culture that has become hip hop rap. The Canton Wal Mart photo studio has a big poster of a 5 year old (at the most) black kid dressed up like a pimp. Disgraceful.
Can’t wait to see Defiance.

So Grover Norquist, a member of the Muslim fifth column in the USA, is a NRA board member?!?!? Why can’t conservatives and patriots throw over this bum?

Debbie, I’ve been surprised by a couple of of your movie reviews. It’s almost as if you are compelled to say how great a random movie is once in a while, all evidence to the contrary. Is there any free movie candy or soda you’d care to disclose?

You are probably right about Notorious B.I.G. being trash. I am not going to defend that lifestyle. I didn’t know he was that brutal. However I got to disagree with you him being a no talent hack. He had some great hits. Nothing I would ever tell a child to listen to, but as an adult listening to “Big Poppa” or “Hypnotize” in clubs during in 90s every DJ made their money on his hits. Probably had more to do with Puffy’s beats set to the raps. Similar to everything in pop culture if you emulate Hollywood it will destroy you. For me, it is what it is, Music. Won’t see the movie, not that big a fan.

Deb:
“This is why I used to speak at the NRA convention about the Bielskis (I’ve since been barred from the group at NRA Islamofascist board member Grover Norquist’s insistence.)”
When was this? Can you mention the backstory please?

Norman, the dark side of capitalism is the drug cartel business. In Mexico, they eliminate any competition that stands in their way… literally. American gangsters are not that ruthless or they’d be running the world’s underworld.
