OK, you call yourselves Democrats??????

[WilliamPitt]

I run a poll to see what movie my shitfaced ass should watch...and none of you, not one, votes for 'Thirteen Days.'

What's wrong with you? That's the best movie I own!

Kennedy v. Bush.

Always a winning fight.

Watch it if you haven't seen it. You get used to Costner's deplorable Boston accent quickly. An excellent, historically accurate (right down to the quotes, and yes I've done the research) film.

[JohnKleeb]

1. I liked it but I liked the rendition of what happens in the life and times

of RFK better
I felt so happy when Jack, Bob, and the Kennedy adminstration solved the Cuban Missle Crisis peacefully because I felt it proved how great they were, they avoided full scale war.

2. Costner causes narcolepsy in me

Even FIELD OFS DREAM which I actually liked (love all things baseball) puts me out like a light.

[wtmusic]

6. NSMA what's your take on Bull Durham?

That's the only Costner flick I can watch.

[LearnedHand]

13. That's because it's...

...his ABSOLUTE BEST film. I LOVE his monologue to Susan Sarandon ("I believe in the lone gunman....")

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

22. Loved the movie, loved his role, can't stand him

and for me Dances With Wolves was Dances With Eternity...I thought that friggin movie would NEVER end!

[LearnedHand]

26. LOL

*holds side, bends over laughing*

"Dances with Eternity"! That's wonderful!

[Don_G]

3. I Don't Watch Movies Much

DU and the Shortwave Radio are far more interesting and informative....

[wtmusic]

4. His accent was equally convincing in 'Robin Hood'

Lancashire via Fullerton, CA

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. Hehe but the award for all time most insufferable accent goes to *rrrrip*

Nick Nolte in Lorenzo's Oil!

[Tinoire]

:evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

12. you gotta believe but Will I think your right about Kerry

[wtmusic]

17. Yeah but if Kerry hadn't voted for war authorization

just kidding...just kidding...

[JohnKleeb]

21. lol

Dont kid to me about that, kid to Kerry supporters, I didnt get this avatar for no reason, expect at 2 EST for me to hit the sack. I made Kerry my backup for a reason but I do respect what Dean has done, just not my personal fave thats just me :) but I respect your choice.

[Tinoire]

15. I am going to bed HAPPY tonight

Alone but happy ;)

The internet really rules! What would we Dems do without it? Whoops, better not say that too loud huh?

Peace

[JohnKleeb]

16. I am happy too

I havent felt this good since I chose DK or when I read about all his feats.

[Tinoire]

25. I know! I feel like a little kid!

This is the second poll I've seen like this. It does the heart good! Makes me realize America may just seize the best chance she's EVER had to put a Progressive in office!

Here's to praying we don't blow it!

From our lips to God's ear!

Peace

[JohnKleeb]

30. we wont

Hes the best in like forever.

[wtmusic]

18. Alone? What are we, chopped liver?

You're only a few data packets away Tinoire! (sweet dreams)

[Tinoire]

23. Yes sigh... Virginal pure you know

... as pure as the driven slush ;) but still, I sleep alone with my little kitties... wondering when some daring, courageous Progressive will either walk into my life or stumble into the bed... ;)

Peace, love and all that good stuff :)

[SOteric]

8. I'd need to be pretty damned lipped to watch Costner

and enjoy it.

[WilliamPitt]

WATCH THIRTEEN DAYS

The guys who play JFK and Bobby steal the movie. Excellent stuff.

[KT2000]

9. missed your poll

but Thirteen Days should be required viewing for all. Had Bush been there then - we would not even exist now.

[JohnKleeb]

14. Can you imagine

Replace JFK with GWB and replace RFK with Jeb oh god. "We gotta to invade Cuba"

[LearnedHand]

11. Absolutely right!

But you prefaced your poll with, "I'm drunk." Couldn't imagine you would be able to keep up with all of Kennedy's advisors while "impaired." (Is there a bumper sticker in that, somewhere?)

BTW, did you read the book the film was taken from? The film is inaccurate all over the place compared with the book. And that scene with the fucking microphone dropping into the picture DROVE ME CRAZY!

[Ohio Dem]

19. You said you were drunk. So I figured Fight Club.

13 Days is a sober movie.

[sandnsea]

20. Kevin Costner

They didn't show his butt in that movie, did they? Without his butt, you know, I just feel like I've been cheated.

So we heard Kevin Costner was going to move into a house about 20 miles from us up in Montana. Oh my god, the phones were ringing, the ladies' tongues were wagging. I bet there was a surge in binoculars sales. There was a bridge about 200 yards from the house and I just knew it would be PACKED! But it didn't happen. :-(

And that's about as much excitement as you get in a small town in Montana every 5 years!

[Kenneth ken]

24. actually

I don't call myself a Democrat. I'm registered Green.

You have American Beauty and don't list it among your best?

I picked The Usual Suspects. It and TTT are the best of your list, but I'm sure you watched TTT several times last week, so watch something different.



If you had a copy of The Princess Bride, that's a movie that one can always watch.

[Punkingal]

27. You're right.....

Thirteen Days is awesome. I've watched it about 15 times, and I am so glad the Kennedys, (people with intelligence) were in charge then, as opposed to what we have now. (Shudder)

[Rocinante]

28. Hell's Bells

Sorry but I ain't seen it yet. Anyway Dazed And Confused is good but to me a different type of buzz is needed for that one.

[kodi]

29. oddly enough, i consider myself a human before i do a democrat

as a small boy i lived in fear during those october days of my 9th year, traveling to the pocono mountains to our cabin with my family fearing i would die in a conflagration i did not understand.

i do not care to relive those memories of bewildered fear.

it is not history to me. it is a part of my life.

i voted for the two towers.

[bluedeminredstate]

31. How about

Animal House? If there was ever a movie to watch when you're shitfaced...

I loved Thirteen Days - and you're right, my New England upbringing made Costner's accent intolerable - but it's nothing I'd watch half in the bag. Aside from missing all the details, I'd go on a drunken crying jag for what our country was then and is now under these crazy neocon bastards. Sort of like when I watch West Wing.

:cry:

[Gore1FL]

32. Dude ...

Do you really want to watch the cuban missile crisis while fucked up?

Rent a comedy and suppliment the drunk.

Watching 13 days while drunk is like watching scarface on shrooms.
