  1. Weeeell I would go watch a movie or two, but you guys keep calling me a nazi and stuff, sooooo. Nope.

  2. Hollywood sold their soul out long ago. I’ll take the golden age instead of the garbage they put out now. They had class and served their country, those days are over.

  3. I saw that Star Wars movie with Adam Driver as the bad guy. Was sorta’ bored by it all until I found out Driver was a Marine.

    Then it all made sense.

    Love those movies now.

    Seriously, they don’t make them like this. My favorite part was when they visit his grandma. Sniff

  6. Sell Hollywood to China. Tell China everything has to be outta here in 90 days. And no whining about buyer’s remorse when Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell eat half of China’s food.
