Weekend Box Office: PC, Islamo-Friendly “Non-Stop,” Moronic “Adult World”

Here is an interesting article from http://www.debbieschlussel.com/ reviewing some of the movies that came out over the past weekend. This follows this post about some of the movies from last week and THIS POST about some movies that have been released over the past few years that you might have missed! This all follows this post about guidelines to choosing good movies to watch yourself!




Weekend Box Office: PC, Islamo-Friendly “Non-Stop,” Moronic “Adult World”


By Debbie Schlussel
Another disappointing weekend at the box office. I did not see “Son of God.” Here are the movies, new at theaters this weekend, which I did see.

* “Non-Stop“: As I’ve told you in the past, actor Liam Neeson said he considered converting to Islam and claimed that the lion in “The Chronicles of Narnia” and “The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe” movies is Mohammed (and not Jesus, which author C.S. Lewis specifically wrote the lion to represent). And, most recently, Neeson said the only reason he did not convert to Islam is that the people in his native Irish hometown of Ballymena, Co Antrim wouldn’t like it (they probably wouldn’t have had a problem with it–it’s Israel Ireland doesn’t like; Islam it’s embraced quite warmly, and it’s the fastest growing religion on the Emerald Isle). And this movie is consistent with Neeson’s multi-orgasms for Islam. In other words, you know who the villain probably isn’t.
Given that, you know that this hijacking movie, in which Neeson stars as a Federal Air Marshal, isn’t going to make the Muslim the hijacker. And if you know that, you are right. But the identity of the hijacker(s) in this movie and their motive is so absurd–so outrageous!–that it makes the rest of the movie absurd. The first 1.5 hours of this movie is okay, until the identity and motive of the villain(s) is disclosed. And while a good mystery/thriller gives you some hint of who the villain is and his/her motive, this movie gives almost none.



Neeson is Bill Marks, a troubled Federal Air Marshal, who is an alcoholic, filed for bankruptcy, has personal, marital, and family issues, and is mad at the TSA for putting him on a non-stop flight transatlantic flight from New York. Once the flight begins, he gets repeated text messages from someone on the plane, threatening to kill a passenger every 20 minutes until $150 million is wired passenger’s Swiss bank account. But all of it is a frame-up job, as the account is in Neeson/Marks’ name, and he realizes all the other evidence points to setting him up. So, Neeson must figure out which of the mysterious passengers–including Julianne Moore, stewardesses (er . . . “FLIGHT ATTENDANTS!”), and pilots–is the hijacker, all while battling the TSA on the ground and the pilots, whom the TSA has instructed to ignore Neeson/Marks and relieve him of his duty. And Neeson also discovers a bomb on the flight and that his TSA partner has issues.
When Neeson/Marks boards the flight and throughout the movie, we are shown “ominous” glances at various passengers, including a Muslim with a skullcap. I immediately ruled out the Muslim as any source of evil or wrongdoing, as Hollywood never does that, these days, plus Neeson’s reverence for Islam would prevent that from being in the script. And, as we all know, Muslims have never and would never try to hijack or blow up planes, right? Never ever happened in American history (if you’re a moron or a Hollywood exec–same diff.)
**** SPOILER ALERT #1 **** And–guess what?–I was right. The Muslim is a doctor and a good guy who helps the Neeson’s Air Marshal and tries to save people on the plane from dying. **** SPOILER ALERT #2 ****: Turns out the actual hijackers/terrorists are two men–a White guy and his Black stooge (isn’t that always the way in the Hollywood narrative), who served in the U.S. military in Iraq and/or Afghanistan and are upset they served in a war they didn’t understand why we were fighting. Also, the White dude’s father died in 9/11, and he and the Black dude want to show the world the holes in the TSA security and what a joke it is–how we aren’t safe. And they are willing to bomb the plane and blow themselves up to prove it (at least, the White guy is; the Black guy has more sense and is less militant–another Hollywood meme).
By the way, when was the last time, U.S. military veterans hijacked and tried to blow up planes? When was the last time this was done by those of us who question TSA security? When was the last time a Muslim tried to hijack a plane? In PC fantasy v. truth, the PC fantasy always wins out in Hollywood (and in Liam Neeson’s philo-Islamic mind). Incredibly, the morons at PJMedia, per their usual idiocy, just loved this absurd, pan-Muslim fantasy. Can’t believe anything you read there. Not a single thing.
As I said, it’s a great movie until these revelations drain all juice from the film. Until then, I’d have given it TWO REAGANS. But the “resolution” of the movie changes it entirely to . . .

* “Adult World“: This is one of the two most stupid, insipid, disgusting, and inane coming of age movies I can remember seeing. (The other is “The To Do List”–read my review–which is decidedly far worse.) What an incredible waste of my time. Boring and pointless. Garbage to the max.
Julia Roberts’ niece Emma Roberts is a loser unpublished poet with huge college loans who is living at home with her parents and mooching off of them. Her parents finally cut the purse strings and force her to get a job, but the only job this unemployed poet with the worthless college degree can get is as help at a seedy porn shop in the inner city. There, here life predictably “opens up” and she blossoms while hanging out and living with a transvestite, a fellow adult store employee, and the far-left revolutionaries with whom she eventually shares an apartment. Because–don’t you know?!–you can only blossom and become enlightened in America by hanging out at sex shops and befriending trannies. They are the muses of Western civilization!
Oh, and also, she is in love with some loser poet (John Cusack), whom she stalks, and who eventually allows her to clean his house for free. Since Roberts cannot get published–her poetry is dreck–she takes on a pen name and writes porn–er, “Erotic!”) poetry. Oh, and did I mention that throughout the movie, “hip” (for the ’80s! not the 2010s) off-beat music and songs keep playing non-stop.
High quality Gitmo torture material.

Mardi Gras - Modern Idolatry?

The strange revelries of modern culture have their roots in ancient rites and religion.

[Steve Myers] It's Fat Tuesday. It's the day before Ash Wednesday and it's party time all around the world whether you're in Rio de Janeiro, Paris, New Orleans here in the United States is the party town. And it's the celebrations that are just before Ash Wednesday when people are going to repent and hopefully get right with God is the idea behind it.
[Darris McNeely] Mardi Gras bets up against the period of Lent , which leads up to Easter when some…when according to many religious beliefs something has to be given up as a form of abstinence. And so, the partying, the excess, the revelry right up until Ash Wednesday and that 40 day period becomes…has become more or less just a reason and an excuse to celebrate.  You used to live in New Orleans.
[Steve Myers] Yeah, we used to live in New Orleans and it's interesting Fat Tuesday comes from the idea that you eat as much as you can, you overindulge, you drink as much as you can and then you repent at midnight tonight is when Ash Wednesday begins. They clear the streets. And it's an amazing time. Normally we got out of town because we saw our fill of things just if you watch the newscast and the debauchery down in the French Quarter. People doing unimaginable things just to get little beads to hang around their necks. I mean, it was surprising to see the things that people would do.
[Darris McNeely] When you look at celebrations like this that really have their roots in Medieval history and even in the ancient world, you recognize that in our own modern expressions of culture we have some blatant examples of what really comes down to idolatry and revelry—something that the Apostle Paul warned against in 1 Corinthians 10:7, to the Corinthian church itself a church in a party town. The first century Corinth was quite a…had quite the reputation. But he did say to the people there in verse 7, "Do not become idolaters as were some of them." And he's referring to the example of the children of Israel from Exodus 32. "As it written, 'The people sat down to eat and drank and rose up to play." The NIV translation puts it, they rose up to indulge in revelries, and it's a perfect description of any type of excessive celebration that involves alcohol, drinks, sex, immorality that takes people, you know, against the law of God. And in this case, it has religious connotations at least in it's earliest manifestations as far as what led people to do this.
[Steve Myers] In fact, New Orleans is known for its masks. Well, the masks come from New Orleans where they would cover themselves on Mardi Gras, cover their faces so no one would know who was sinning. And that way they wouldn't be able to hold that against them personally, but they'd repent before God supposedly the next day. But to associate this with religion is, you know, really inexcusable because you cannot. In fact, Paul told the Romans chapter 6 and verse 1. He says, "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?" (Romans 6:1). And Paul says certainly not! We cannot. We cannot sin and then think that somehow we can be right with God when we purposely do that. It's unacceptable.
[Darris McNeely] When He gives explicit teaching in this regard, it really is a lesson for every one of us wanting to live by every word of God to look at the examples that are around us in our culture of excess, of immorality, of partying and what the Bible describes as revelries and ask some very hard questions about what we do, what goes on, and how far one should go in taking part in those matters—if they should at all.
[Steve Myers] That's BT Daily . We'll see you next time.
