At the risk of oversimplifying this, Earth to lefties..........

The title of the movie is "Knocked Up." If you abort the baby, don't you also abort the central premise of the movie? 'Cause ya see, she won't be "knocked up" anymore. Get it? I knew that ya could.

I just have one question -- how could anyone want to suffer through this buffoon's movie review? I just read thru it, and need to reach for the excedrin. Ouch. Whatever possessed you, of your own free will, to read this anyway? Do these people actually get paid for writing such drival?

But this "critic" has a good point. Instead of commenting on the actual movie, all critics should start commenting on what the movie isn't. That way, no plots have to be written, and we're in and out of the theater in 15 minutes -- just enough time to sit thru the commercials and buy some refreshments. Think of the turnover -- we could cram dozens of showings per day, instead of the 4 or 5.

For instance, the Halloween movies could be shortened if Jason would have simply planted a bomb when everyone was in the house. Boom! Quick finish. Where were the critics on this one?

And why did the Titanic have to sink so slowly? Now that was a long movie. Shorten it up. Just show the last scene -- no need to worry about all the personalities, or it's launch. Come on critics, start doing your job.

And the Ten Commandments. Just put up a scrolling message -- Not Allowed. I'm sure that the critics in those days could have done a better job of wondering why the ACLU wasn't in the movie, and why the heck anyone would have chosen those particular commandments anyway. And why 10? What's so magic about that number? Those critics probably could have suggested different commandments, I'm sure. And we would have stood in line just waiting to read their reviews.

Maybe these reviewers should get Michael Moore to do another version.  He could call it "Sucko."

The climactic scene would be when the baby's head emerges only to have its skull punctured and brains sucked out.  They wouldn't even need to use special effects as could surely get great footage with 10 to 20 abortions.

The film could end with a disclaimer that "No animals were harmed in making this movie!"

-- The problem is not that we are ignorant; rather, it is that so much of what we know is not true. --

Though conservatives regularly accuse Hollywood of being overly liberal on social issues, abortion rarely comes up in film

Focus groups?  I'm shocked!

I wonder how many women who have had abortions would get a good laugh out of this proposed comedic twist.

Well I think the critics have a point, divagate, aside.  The movie's plot ought to revolve around abortion - a late term abortion.  It could have close ups of the procedure in living . . . er dying technicolor.  Then, with the appropriate smuggness only a big city critic could muster, the comments could rate the authenticity of the procedure, ponder what happens to the "refuse," whether a sequel will follow about same, etc. 

Why have make believe horror flicks?  This could be a movie genre in  an of itself.  I can see the movie titles now:  "Night of the Killed Abortion - Really Late Term!", "1.5 Million and Counting (in 2007 alone) - And We Call Ourselves Human?", and "Aborted Fetuses - the New Soylent Green." 

Where are the Weinsteins when you really need a sicko movie?

Does this buffoon realize that abortion is never an option for a lot of people?  I mean come on use some common sense.  Look at the movies name jackass.  Plus it is a flipping comedy not a serious movie about social issues.  Since when is abortion funny?

"Well dear I thought about killing the baby today before it is born." Cue the laugh track.

WOW!  That really works.

And this begs the question... if abortion is so well accepted by everyone, if it is so matter of factly an option for most "sensible" Americans, why would a movie that reflects that be such an obvious bomb? Could it be because even common folks who accept abortion at some perfunctory level don't want to see movies where Mothers kill their babies? Could it be that even nominal supporters of abortion are uncomfortable with the procedure when all is said and done?

Could it be that if the child was aborted, we wouldn't have a movie?

Be sure to get your daily Fred Thompson Fact!

Can't you just see it in a Public School Radical Math book.

Jenny has had sex with three football players, two rappers, and one meth head at a lipstick party gone bad.  She is now pregnant.  What is the probability the father is a football player.

That's right, 0%  An alert school counsellor directed her to a free clinic.

I give credit where credit is due Warner.

The only post I've seen that has used the "pedantic" not once, but twice!  Only other place I've seen that was on Sienfield.

"It can be pedantic!  It can be pedantic!" - George Costanza

You can see how the left wants to control public opinion and discourse through television and motion pictures. Here we have a liberal writer with a political axe to grind and will denigrate a movie based on some obscure political reasoning. Meanwhile, you also have the gay left attacking Travolta's new movie, simply because he is a Scientologist and Scientology attempts to cure an individual of his homosexual obsessions ---- therefore the movie is somehow "anti-gay".

I have always believed that movies and television have, over the past few decades, evolved into yet another venue for liberal/left propagandists and I think I am being proved correct.

I went to see the 20th Anniversary showing of "Dirty Dancing".

Indeed, they do use abortions in movies sometimes, and even though the aborting "doctor" botched it badly, Baby, who got the money for the dancer who "needed" the abortion was played up as the hero.

Amazingly, the words "abortion", "fetus", or "baby" were never uttered... well, okay "Baby" was uttered hundreds of times ("Nobody puts Baby in a corner!") but you know what I mean. the abortion was never discussed.

Of course parenthood or adoption were never discussed either.

20 years is a long time. I was a kid when that movie came out. I don't think I ever realized what was going on. As an adult, it was like watching the movie for the first time and it actually made me sick.

There was also a pretty obvious slam against Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" but I won't get into it... cheap shot though.
