Will someone please do something about Mr. Humanitarian here? Roots and Schindler's List?

How about Little Big Man? Or The Alamo? Or Passion of the Christ?

Anybody you don't hate bubba?

Your rhetoric shames us all... and calls into question the integrity of this community.

As a reminder, derogatory racial remarks are, in fact, a pointable offense.

We can keep this going -- or close it if you know what seeps back into the discussion... at the mod's pleasure of course.

Just a few miles down the road, in Lockhart, they shot one of my ATF comedies:

Waiting for Guffman!



I think that counts.

It's amazing how many people think Texas chainsaw massacre is real. Then again, people believe Shit like roots and schindlers list too. Originally Posted by BonerJams03

Even worse are films like American Gangster, in which the NYPD Special Investigative Unit and Robert Leuci were turned into gangsters while real villains such as the "Country Boys" heroin dealers were turned into heros. None of the things depicted in that film really happened...NONE.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre was produced by an attorney in Austin who got into such a quarrell with the other investors that a court had to appoint another attorney to be a trustee over the revenues. Anyone who's lived in Austin as long as I have knows them all. The revenues to date have been well over 300 million, and every year the trustee issues a seven figure check to even the smallest investor, who originally put up a low five figure number. The revenues continue every year on the original feature but the sequels have little or no revenue.

The third sequel featured Matt McCon... and Rene Zellw.. in their first feature, but before it could be released their agents put them on fast star tracks and blunted any distribution for the film because it was an embarrisment.

To say there isn't an ounce of truth in Schindler's List is utter nonsense. The film was based upon a historical novel about a REAL person named Schindler who saved REAL people. You're so blinded by hate it's frightening.
