    Oh yeah, the dreaded "N word" now that would really have made the head explode with all the unbridled politically correct little sensibilities mercilessly frustrated.
    And Hot Lips became a cheerleader because she learned her lesson and figured out it was better to try and fit in with the boys. Shouldnt be that difficult to understand.

      "unbridled politically correct little sensibilities mercilessly frustrated" - wow! Did you think that one up with the word genie? It sounds like a bad haiku poem.
      And Hot Lips became a cheerleader because she learned her lesson and figured out it was better to try and fit in with the boys.
      I dont doubt that folks like you who see the movie think that but the fact is that she didnt have a lesson to learn.

          Yes, I know you are disappointed for the lack of N words but they call the Fred Williamson character Spearchucker Jones.
          That seems pretty bad

            Now how does a lad get to be as righteous as this anyway? Is there possibly some Ludovico Clinic Of Political Correctness out there that could perhaps soothe my extravagantly insatiable lust for the "N word" as well as all other kinds of racist, misogynist, homophobic and altogether EVIL parlance and behaviour?

              Your signature is wrong he actually said facts are stubborn things, it was a slip-up and he corrected himself right after. And he was quoting John Adams.
              Communism was just a Red herring!

                It doesn't matter if he meant to say it or not. The fact is, Reagan did in fact say "Facts are stupid things."

                  It's an incomplete truth. Selectively editing the truth to make it more palatable, marketable, or popular is dishonesty seen most commonly in our "news" media today. Try your luck there.

                    Almost every quote is "an incomplete truth." It's always one little sentence extracted from a paragraph that was part of a huge speech or whatever, taken out of context. This one was a Freudian slip that's pretty amusing to folks who think Reagan was a bit of a dunderhead and a lout. Deal with it.

                        you refuse to acknowledge that Reagan simply misused two words and realized it. You are a stubborn ass.
                        But I do acknowledge that. My only assertion here is that "Facts are stupid things" is in fact a statement that came directly out of Ronald Reagan's mouth, and therefore is a legitimate quote. I know you'll never accept that, because you just tried to project your own stubbornness onto me.

                          Literally a quote, yes, but not useful in any argument against him like you said.

                            Hahaha. The Korean boy made martinis. Not exactly slave labor. And he wasn't being forced. If real slaves would only be so lucky.

                              They also tried to prevent the kid from getting sent into combat. So, yeah, he's making them martinis, but they treat him as one of their own and try not to get him killed.

                                  I much prefer his older films like McCabe & Mrs Miller and The Long Kiss Goodnight to those more recent
                                  I'm a bit confused here. I just had a look at the Director's resume and could not locate one of the films you mention here. Could you direct me to the film you speak of called
                                  The Long Kiss Goodnight
                                  ? I'm not sure it was listed in his resume.
                                  I'm not a control freak, I just like things my way

                                          The movie was about the people; not about gunfire and explosions which, so some people, are the only mark of movie making.
