RSSDirect to DVD Michelle Pfeiffer Flick Features Bush Bashing

Christian Toto, Washington Times entertainment reporter, dropped us a note about the upcoming release of a direct to DVD movie called, “I Could Never Be Your Woman.” This flick that wasn’t ranked high enough by the studio to get a theatrical release stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Paul Rudd, and Saoirse Ronan. It’s supposed to be a love triangle comedy flick, but close to the end of the thing is included a slam on president Bush that has nothing at all to do with the rest of the movie and is blatant for its gratuitous nature.
As Mr. Toto has it this “nasty bit of Bush bashing” is at about 98 percent through the film and occurs during a scene where young Miss Ronan is playing the part of a teenaged talent show contestant.
Ronan’s character takes the stage for a student talent show and starts strumming a song to the tune of Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic.”
Then Mr. Toto gives us the faux lyrics of this Bush bashing tune…
“While the North Pole is turning to slush, on my TV there’s President Bush,” she sneers. “He’s a pay-ay-ain in the whole world’s ass. How can it be we voted him in? I just don’t see how it figures.”
The crowd laughs and cheers the song, while Pfeiffer’s character beams like a proud mama.
So, out of the blue everyone starts attacking president Bush for no reason. The movie has nothing whatever to do with politics or current events, yet they go after president Bush without provocation or any conformity with the continuity of the plot. It is so typical of Hollyweird to go off on a hate rant like that, isn’t it?
I’d also like to say one thing about the Alanis Morissette song, “Ironic.” She doesn’t get ironic right. The song is a complete failure at showcasing any irony. Morissette only ends up proving that she hasn’t a clue what the definition of irony is. Is it “ironic” that she is trying to talk about irony without even knowing what it is? Well, if it isn’t “ironic,” it is certainly ridiculous. Just like this direct to DVD “comedy.”

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.

Hollywood will never be happy until we have a hard core socialist country. Only when they are being rounded up as dissenters will they complain and look for someone to save them from the America they thought they wanted.
Since when do liberals need an excuse to inject their political thoughts into any conversation? They seem to think that everyone agrees with them and that they can just say it and no one will take offense.
Then when people do they act all surprised.
Hollywood believes that they should just add their thoughts into anything they make even if there is no point to it. It’s like the new episode of Knight Rider where the opening scenes include a gratuitous scene where the federal agent woman comes in and says goodbye to her female lover who she hooked up with the night before. It had nothing to do with the story. It was just there because Hollywood thinks it should be.
You had the sexuality of, as best I can tell, five characters established in that first episode. You had one lesbian. That’s an awfully high ratio (20%) considering homosexuals are 2 - 4% of the population.
Same thing here.
