Re: Scalia on video game regulation

This is why there should have never been an obscenity law in the first place. It is logical that if youre going to say that sexual content is obscene that extreme violent content can be as well. Im actually surprised it took this long for people to start to make the argument, as anti-freedom as it may be.

Were at a precarious position with the supreme court too, with more conservatives being nominated and being one vote shy of a conservative majority. This is why imo even if you agree with republicans on all other issues that right now its more important to have balance on the court. We need a Democrat to fill the seats that are going to be vacated by liberals in the coming president's term.

But back to obscenity, there never should have been a "Miller test" based on content. Free expression should only be restricted by public vs private, between whats legal to be put on a billboard compared to what is for the privacy of your own home/video console.

Whats Joe Lieberman doing in this? He doesnt work for Fox News. That just makes you look politically motivated, like youre a part of the far left.

Could that extra 528 million be for the Air and Marine Interdiction guys under CBP?

I believe it was filmed aboard the CGC Escanaba, a MEC, out of ISC Boston. The PIO issued this when it was filmed

Id be interested in seeing this (I cant stand Michael Moore), but I cant stand blowhard Bill O'Reilly either. I dont like the far-left or the far-right.

"...faithfulness to the Richard Donner films..." was NOT the problem.

It was too much of a soap opera and not enough of an action film. THAT was the problem,.

Re: “Max Payne” Director John Moore Upset Over R-Rating, Claims MPAA Gave WB a Blowjob For “Dark Knight”

Jonesy — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 23:16:48 -0000

Im always amazed that there are movie fans that actually want movies to be rated harsher. All that means is that movies will have to be even further toned down. Dark Knight would have less of the movie than it was. It would have had to be censored more; is that what movie fans want? So why would people come on message boards and say yeah Dark Knight should have been an R?. I dont get it.

Also, that documentary "this movie has not yet been rated" has a bias against violent action movies. Its a sort of pacifist left wing documentary that argues that the MPPA is too lenient with action movies and too hard on movies with sex. Thats always the argument used by leftists. And thats not going to accomplish anything; it'll just lead to more censorship. All the MPPA will do is agree and be hard on violent action movies too. We should be for the MPAA being more lenient with ALL MOVIES, not try to play one genre against another.
