How is exposing failed government programs, wasted tax dollars and ignoring the Constitution "violent rhetoric"?

the trigger, that it will be on television, because somebody will capture
it on YouTube and it will be the most popular video for months. -- Mike

philip seymour hoffman, i am starting to thik that he might very well be the most incredible male actor in movie history.

>> ^EMPIRE:

damn it... it's Fry's dog all over again... I sniff... upvote


Seymour. :~(

I came when she hit that Pinch Harmonic at 54 seconds. I was more impressed with her 4th finger dexterity

I play a Fender Squire with an after market Seymour Duncan Humbucker, 21 Frets, and no Whammy Bar it gets the job done. I've never really like the fugly looking guitars.

Although I plan up upgrading to something like this; http://www.zzounds.com/item--SCEBJATXC1

Yeah it's a good movie...if you don't mind the hypocrisy of deifying a senator for something completely misguided and deadly.


If you read the book, he's not exactly deified (nor was Charlie Wilson a senator). I don't really think he was deified in the movie either, but it wasn't as clear as the book, I suppose. The author (George Crile) does an extremely good job at making something that's at times extremely dense quite readable. The entire situation is something everyone needs to understand, because it shows how much influence a single person can have. The book and movie make the entire thing seem amazing because it was. A single US representative from Texas, with the help of a CIA agent (whose character you see in this clip) escalated US spending on equipment to incredible levels.

I don't think anyone would argue that opposing the Russian invasion of Afghanistan was necessarily a bad goal in and of itself, but the secretive way in which it was done meant the Afghans never knew it where the help was coming from, and that ultimately had unintended consequences. The book devotes quite large section at the end to discussing some of those issues. The movie sort of glossed over it if I remember correctly.

jesus, phillip seymour hoffman is an underrated actor. i've never seen him have a bad performance, but for some reason i feel like he's not among the acting elite. the guy's amazing in every role he does.


PSH has been awesome for several years now. But he's no longer underrated.

He had a bunch of really good lines in this. Very, very entertaining.
Hanks was good in the film, but Hoffman was like Hit Girl in KickAss - owned every scene he was in.


right on brother.
hoffman banked this movie all the way.

"Feed me Seymour!"

Seriously. Anyone else thinking Little Shop of Horrors?

>> ^cybrbeast:
If Seymour Hersch is quoted correctly I can imagine quite some backlash from releasing the footage he refers to...


Time for America to look its demons square in the face.

In our culture, if you don't see it, you can always deny it exists.

The fact that Americans and mercenaries tortured Iraqis is not unknown in Iraq or the Arab/Persian world. It is one of the reasons our presense there is hated and one of the reasons we'll be facing events of "blow-back" for many years to come.

It's also something that will make Bush & Co., and their loyal supporters, piss their pants, and the time has come for that.
