Outrage

[beadsobleach]

Has anyone seen the movie Outrage? I know its in limited release, just wondering what the opinions of it are?

 

[rp2813]

Not familiar with it. Is this a new film or the vintage film "The Outrage?"

Good Movie...

Andrew in Orlando, and I went to see it last Sunday, very good movie. What was most interesting to me is how Florida's Governor, Charlie Crist, has been able to remain in the closet for so long.

Closets are for gowns darling.

As long as society including the Bible-thumpers continue to hold 'mos in contempt, there will always be those who choose to have a beard.

And how loud and powerful it will be when their two worlds collide (matter and anit-matter) in an airport restroom while Craiging.

Not widely advertised

I just found out about it, I told my friend in Cambridge, MA to go see it. I guess even NPR is restricting talking about it from what I read. It's not playing anywhere around here, it has a website.

Haven't seen it yet, but..

it definitely has a great poster (and trailer)

Outrage - In Theatres May 8th

OUTRAGE boldly reveals the hidden lives of some of our nation's most powerful policymakers, details the harm they've inflicted on millions of Americans, and examines the media's complicity in keeping their secrets.

I'd like to see a similar film done about Christians, Jews and Muslims. It could easily run over two hours, just covering the RCC.

Very good movie. Outrage will enrage! It's very sad to see our own kind be so hateful towards us, but you're gonna see it if you see the movie! And they are not ALL in the closet, either.

Sorry, one more pic

I came across this on another site. The caption read, "Oh! I see you brought your son."

Now that's a good one Jeff.....

Hey Keven, get a load of this...

"No, I haven't seen the film we're discussing today, but I'd still like to take you outside and beat you across the face."

Anyone know what station this talk-show clown is from?

 

[jeffg]

Oh, and here's his non-apology the day after. At least his co-host was outraged.

Professional Journalism

What TV station was that from? Couldn't tell, he really got worked up about it. Moths too close to the flame?

 

[jeffg]

I couldn't tell what station it was either. But threatening physical violence? A station in any red state would be a very good guess. And considering the host admitted he hadn't even seen this film, I'd say one of the dumber red states (Kansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama etc).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outrage_(2009_film)#Doug_McKelway says that it's in Washington, DC.

 

[jeffg]

Thanks. I've heard it claimed that 30-40% of congressional staffers in D.C. are gay, I wonder what percentage of them are in the closet?

Please, this was all staged...

My ex worked in TV news, and I can say with probably almost 100% certainty, this was staged. The fact that this show aired during "sweeps" confirms it.

 

[beadsobleach]

Staged?

Bet it didn't take to much to stage this....bet your ex would confirm that...

 

[jeffg]

I'm a fairly good reader of body language and this definitely did not look or feel staged.

Also, I have to ask: what difference does it make if it *was* staged?
