    Lol today’s a big day, guys. I’m honored to report I’ve just received my first negative reputation point. Thanks to whoever made that anonymous contribution! Hmmm gee I wonder who it could’ve been.

    I have now added Robert De Niro's name right under Meryl Streep's, as actors whose movies I will never go to see again.
    He was trying to make himself relevant again with his rant. I just looked at IMDB... he hasn’t had a decent movie in close to 20 years.
    I thought THE FAMILY was pretty spiffy.
    Don’t forget Machete!
    I thought his last good film was Analyze This, but mainly because of Billy Crystal.. all the way back to 1999. Just never been a fan. As for his politics, who cares!! So long as actors keep their politics off screen and musicians don’t rant during a concert, their political thoughts mean nothing to me.
    I loved Analyze This, and I agree Billy Crystal was the one to watch. And I agree with actors sticking to acting.

    Ha! I almost mentioned that before. I consider De Niro and Pacino to be the same person because their roles are always so similar. I don’t like either of them!!!

    When U/M was publishing the Jack Vance books, I always asked Chuck Miller for an 'A' on the lettered editions, but they seem to have been reserved up to 'D'. So most of mine are 'E'. Of the ones I managed to purchase directly from him.

    Just a random thought - I think Mr. De Niro is a great actor. I loved RONIN, GODFATHER 2, RAGING BULL, GOODFELLAS, TAXI DRIVER, THE KING OF COMEDY, THE DEER HUNTER, etc. But lately, he seems to have become very crass, foul-mouthed and just, well, not someone I'd want to go to church with (if I went to church, that is). I almost walked out of THE COMEDIAN, I could not believe the filth coming out of his mouth. I like jokes, but these were in such godawful poor taste I was cringing. Most of the movies listed as comedies these days affect me in the same way, so I skip them. Bottom line, it's just a matter of personal taste. I love PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, which sorta kinda fits in there, so I can't rationally explain it. But if we were all rational, this would be Utopia, wouldn't it?
    I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

    Without getting too political, it really depends on who you ask. Some people will ignore or defend what he said. Some people with play the what-about game and try to compare it to things other people have said. Some people will say that it's horrible and they can't believe he said it.

    Honestly, I try not to let actor's personal and political views or beliefs affect whether or not I watch their movies/TV shows or read their books, etc...
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    I see. I guess it’s moot for me when it comes to letters, being so late to the game. Goes for numbers too really. If I branch out to other less popular authors, maybe I could focus on a number. I don’t know, just seems like another layer of fun (and stress haha).

    I loved Pineapple Express, too. Last good Seth Rogan comedy imo. Did you see Bad Grandpa? That was the first and only time De Niro made me really cringe. I’ll skip The Comedian now, though.

    Let's see. If I was standing at a fork in the road in sure danger of being run down by an out of control 18 wheeler, and I had to either go right, where fanged, slavering aliens from Planet X who lusted after my severed head, with which they were planning on doing obscene, unspeakable acts upon while using their advanced (EVIL) technology to keep my brain and noggin alive throughout the entire despicable process, waited for me; or right, where I'd have to go into a theater to view BAD GRAMPA, I'd hesitate.

    I didn't know until today that you could receive a negative reputation comment. Makes no sense to me at all. But I proudly got one from somebody. Where can I cash it in?

    There's a General Political Discussion thread.

    I don't think Webstar's question was necessarily political. As a Canadian, I too, am curious how American's perceive what Trump said.
    There is a General Political Discussion thread, and this is the beginning of this discussion on that thread. We do generally like to keep the political discussion on that thread. That way it's your own choice if you chose to participate.

    That said...

    Partisans will act as partisans. If a person is a Trump supporter at this point, after all of the heinous things he's done and is, there is probably nothing he could do to make them stop supporting him. Most Democrats will oppose anything Trump does or says simply because Hillary isn't President, and they are all butt-hurt about it, even though it's their own fault.

    I'm sorry, it isn't Trump or Hillary's fault, we should all blame the Russians, or better yet, blame Canada! They're not even a real country anyway!


    Others, if they are intelligent and informed, are not happy with Trump's course of action. I haven't seen a single foreign government leader, a single economist or a single businessman come out in support of Trump's tariffs. It's causing nothing but problems and raising prices.

    He simply has no idea what he's doing. It's either that, or he's an evil genius as well as a stable one.

    I can't get steel to build a room in a commercial building (I'll get it 3-4 weeks from now) because the big corporations that use steel have all recently purchased several years worth of steel as a hedge against price increases. That action itself is driving up prices. They all expect huge price increases as tariffs start coming into effect. A local builder, who builds ~20 houses a year, bought enough steel packages for 100 houses. So the result of the threat of tariffs is price inflation before the tariffs even take effect.

    I know, right? I come here to be a part of the spirit of friendship and community in our DT group and to get far away from politics.

    There's a General Political Discussion thread.

    I don't think Webstar's question was necessarily political. As a Canadian, I too, am curious how American's perceive what Trump said.
    There is a General Political Discussion thread, and this is the beginning of this discussion on that thread. We do generally like to keep the political discussion on that thread. That way it's your own choice if you chose to participate.

    That said...

    Partisans will act as partisans. If a person is a Trump supporter at this point, after all of the heinous things he's done and is, there is probably nothing he could do to make them stop supporting him. Most Democrats will oppose anything Trump does or says simply because Hillary isn't President, and they are all butt-hurt about it, even though it's their own fault. I'm sorry, it isn't Trump or Hillary's fault, we should all blame the Russians, or better yet, blame Canada! They're not even a real country anyway!



    Others, if they are intelligent and informed, are not happy with Trump's course of action. I haven't seen a single foreign government leader, a single economist or a single businessman come out in support of Trump's tariffs. It's causing nothing but problems and raising prices.

    He simply has no idea what he's doing. It's either that, or he's an evil genius as well as a stable one.

    I can't get steel to build a room in a commercial building (I'll get it 3-4 weeks from now) because the big corporations that use steel have all recently purchased several years worth of steel as a hedge against price increases. That action itself is driving up prices. They all expect huge price increases as tariffs start coming into effect. A local builder, who builds ~20 houses a year, bought enough steel packages for 100 houses. So the result of the threat of tariffs is price inflation before the tariffs even take effect.
    Thanks Brian for the response. It was well written other than we are not a real country crack! Lol no in all seriousness I agree with you... still can’t make heads or tails of it...

    "Others, if they are intelligent and informed, are not happy with Trump's course of action".

    That's a bold statement and typical from the left. They believe they are the only ones able to read. I don't love Trump, but I don't like the alternatives either. Be that as it may, we have to take stock in a couple of years. Barack was no prize either and neither he or Hilary managed to get that lunatic in N. Korea to the table whatever comes of it.

    I think one axiom most people forget (especially the media) is that in general it takes 4 years after a President leaves office to determine what if anything he accomplished. People still blame, Bush for '08 fall when it fact it was generated by, Mr. Clinton in the late 90's.

    Anyway, you're right. This is not the thread to get into this stuff. How 'bout them Yankees????????

    I don't agree with the "not a real country" crack myself. It was in the SP video. I was attempting to be sarcastic and humorous. That is an attitude taken by many US citizens though. We're the only reason that you aren't being attacked by Russia or China or whomever.
