[SIZE="5"][COLOR="Blue"]Hi guys,

As you'll soon find out, I am a Netflix addict! Love it! I don't even own a TV. Netflix and Youtube have everything I need. Anyway, on to the purpose of this thread.

If you have Netflix, or if you can find this film elsewhere, I highly recommend The Falls. This movie centers around two Mormons who, while doing their assigned missionary work, share a room and eventually fall in love. It focuses on their growing relationship, as well as the trouble they have to go through in order to hide that relationship, as Mormonism, like most religions, frowns upon homosexuality. A great movie! See it when you have some time to spare. [/COLOR][/SIZE]

I just saw this on Facebook (Thanks Beaux)...and it sums up everything that has pissed me off since the 1990s when it started.

It astounds me that so many people don't realize that they are putting us all to sleep with what they call "news"...making our brains mush.....and one day when a future generation has to pay for it...they are gonna hate us for not lifting a finger....because they are gonna have to fight and die to change anything....

The 1%..no amount of money or power will ever be enough for them....we have collectively allowed them to become the monsters that they are with our apathy...

I just watched this on Netflix. I don't usually have the patience for subtitles, but this one was pretty good.

You might have already heard of this, but China's censors just cleared the first film that centers on a gay love story to be shown in theaters there. I've been reading about it, apparently it will be told in flash backs after one of the characters has already died.

Im interested just because I think it is a big step for China, and I see that part of it takes place in Nepal, which is a county I'm obsessed with. But the other part of me is sort of tired of movies about gay people that center around tragedy and loss... But, I dont want to be critical of anything before I've seen it.

I think both of the main actors are handsome, and I'm excited to see a trailer / release date and to learn a little more about about the movie.

Any thoughts?

The Caitlyn Jenner Halloween Costume

Liz Black Aug 27, 2015 10:35 AM


Update: And, of course, it only gets worse: Anytimcostumes.com is stocking a wig labeled “Unisex Miss-ter Olympic Wig” that's supposed to be a parody of Caitlyn Jenner's hair. Reads the description: “Be an advocate for the liberal agenda in this Unisex Miss-ter Olympic Wig! If you can’t identify as a male, throw on this brunet wig that offers a modern style and straight cut. Complete your costume by ordering a medal that shows what used to be of the infamous Bruce Jenner.”

Anytimecostumes.com recently posted an update on its Facebook page. It reads: “Our “Call Me Caitlyn” costume has become a hot topic and we want to assure all our fans and customers that it is NOT and will NEVER be our intention to promote or condone discrimination. We carry the costume because we believe in the spirit of Halloween and costume parties and we are equal opportunity satirists — we believe these are the times when people can be irreverent and make a parody of everyone and anyone including themselves.

The concept has me hooked.
I love Matt Damon so I think this just climbed to the top of my list.

What do you guys think?

Eddie Redmayne, the actor who embodied Stephen Hawkins is now slipping into the skin of a 1920s Danish transgender woman. I'm sure he'll make it very convincing, once more.

OK...most everyone knows Donald Trump is an ass already...and back when he started his rants on Obama's birth certificate I wrote NBC and complained...I also wrote Macys...

He is being dropped by everyone....with one notable exception****and this is the point of my post that we will get to later****

Rapper Flo Rida, the Macy's department store chain and football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith all had something in common on Wednesday: They're the latest to distance themselves from Donald Trump following his remarks about Mexican immigrants.

The Republican presidential hopeful's team is struggling to hold the Miss USA pageant together following defections by hosts, performers, judges and the two television networks that were scheduled to broadcast the event on July 12. Trump, who fired back at Macy's, owns the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.

Flo Rida had been the highest-profile performer scheduled for Miss USA in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and his representative confirmed Wednesday that he would not perform. Country singer Craig Wayne Boyd, winner of "The Voice" last year, and pop singer Natalie La Rose, whose single "Somebody" hit the Billboard Top Ten this year, also dropped out. There were no more announced performers.

Smith, the former Dallas Cowboys running back who was a judge for Miss USA, cited Trump's statement and NBC's decision in backing out. He said that knowing how much women prepare for the event, he sent his best wishes to the competitors.

HGTV "Property Brothers" star Jonathan Scott was also one of the pageant's judges but backed out, too, saying on Facebook that he could not support Trump's views.

"We are all on this big rock together," he said, "and I choose love."

Trump's presidential campaign announcement contained his assertion that some Mexican immigrants to the United States bring drugs and crime, and some are rapists. The comment struck many Latinos as insensitive, and Univision's decision last week to back out of televising Miss USA and break off its business ties with Trump led to a cascade of others following suit. Trump responded by suing Univision on Tuesday.

Macy's said in a statement that the retailer is "disappointed and distressed" by Trump's remarks and will end its relationship with him. Macy's has carried a Donald Trump menswear line since 2004, including $70 button down-shirts and $65 striped ties. Most items were heavily discounted on Macy's website on Wednesday.

"We have no tolerance for discrimination in any form," the company said. "We welcome all customers, and respect for the dignity of all people is a cornerstone of our culture."

The move comes after an outcry on social media, including online petitions, for Macy's to drop the line. NBC, TV Company Ora TV and Mexican TV network Televisa have also cut ties to Trump.

Trump said in a statement that he had decided to end his relationship with Macy's because of pressure put upon them by outside sources. He said he was never happy that the ties and shirts were made in China, and if he were to do another product line in the future, he would insist they were American-made.

"Both Macy's and NBC totally caved at the first sight of potential difficulty with special interest groups who are nothing more than professional agitators," Trump said.

Besides Smith and HGTV's Scott, Miss USA listed country singer Jessie James Decker, E! News anchor Terrence Jenkins and TV host and former Miss Universe winner Zuleyka Rivera as pageant judges in a news release issued last month. Of that quintet, only Decker's name was listed as a judge by Miss USA on its website Wednesday. A show spokeswoman said she had no information about judges or performers.

For those of you who don't know what he said.....

“The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

..and so.....now the REAL STORY no one seems to talk about....

RIGHT AFTER HE SAID THIS...HE SHOT TO #2 IN THE POLLS BY REPUBLICANS WHO ADMIRED WHAT HE SAID....and when election comes around and we remind them about the racism...and they complain bitterly....remind them when this bozo made a horribly racist statement...it was enough to get them up and cheering...and put his extremely unqualified ass in 2nd place overnight....

Unbelievable....

On a brighter note...FOX NEWS will most likely fall over themselves in order to have the broadcast priveledge...and be showing the Miss Universe contest with hosts Sarah Palin and Bill O'Reilly...and guest judges Michelle and Marcus Bachmann, Chuck Norris, Scott Baio, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Nikki Haley...and David Duke...and ratings are expected to go through the roof....
