    If there is any movie on that at all?

    Because Hollywood is so liberal and progressive, right? And since FDR is such an holy grail of statism, liberalism, government-interventionism, progressivism and... fascism?

    Makes you wonder...

    I used to think that that Hollywood and liberals were a myth. That was tell last year when I saw Argo vs Zero Dark Thirty. Argo got best picture or some crap and Dark Thirty didn't get anything. I thought Argo was poorly done when compared to Zero.

    Well what can I say? Argo remind them of the good ol' Carter days...

    Besides, Ben Afleck was a student of "America's conscience" Howard Zinn.

    I know I sound far-fetched sometime, but if I were the president, I'm gonna send Marines to Hollywood and Beverly Hills big time. I'm so gonna sort them out.

    Fascist? I guess that depends on what he would send the Marines to Hollywood for. If it is to make men out of those elitist sissy boys, then I see nothing fascist about getting those pansies to grow a sack.

    You know what, Leonardo Di Caprio hasn't won an Oscar yet either, maybe the Liberal-Hollywood elite just hate him.

    You should run for president in the GOP primaries with that as your platform. I am sure you would get a lot of support from the base down in Dixie and in the white supremacist states like Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. You go boy!!

    Maybe its a conservative thing.

    You know- sending the U.S. Marines somewhere to enforce a moral code on Americans.

    You just don't see anything fascist about that at all.

    Nothing a conservative government does is fascist in their eyes. Even sending armed men to break the first amendment.

    He hasn't played a gay guy or an ethnic minority in a movie yet. Until he does, liberal Hollyweird will continue to shun him from that elusive Oscar.

    I know right? Maybe instead of basing it off of how good a movie was, maybe they should start basing it off of political ideologies. That would show us.

    Yeah, or maybe it's because he only has been in conservative movies, like the Great Gatsby.

    I just want them to make a blockbuster out of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar".

    I WANT TO SEE THE BATTLE OF PHILIPPI ON THE BIG SCREEN DAMN IT! Twice as big as any American civil war battle, and with ten times the drama.

    That would be nice. Maybe a good version of Romeo and Juliet as well.

    The made a "modern retelling" back in the 90's that was high budget and starred Leo. I didn't like it very much, but thats just because I never like the original story to begin with.

    I did not like that version either. It was really weird and stupid. But I did like Leo in it.

    I was a bit disappointed when they dropped the ball in that Alexander movie with Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie and totally left out Alexander the Great's encounter with UFOs in India: http://ufo.whipnet.org/xdocs/alexander.the.great/

    :no:

    Unfortunately that site is full of (*)(*)(*)(*) and that article didn't even try to source any of its crap. Alexander took Tyre by having rams make a hole in the wall at the southern end, and then having his 220+ war galleys bombard it with their on board artillery until there was a large enough breech for his men to charge through. Two flying saucers did not make the hole. The India saucers thing is a bunch of bull(*)(*)(*)(*) too.
