I've been reading some Netflix reviews today.

Glengarry Glen Ross

****4 stars JG from San Diego, CA 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Patel! I can't help but laugh when I see this name on a business card.
Patel? The King of Sheba could hand this guy a million dollars and he
still wouldn't sign. I have been selling for 20 years and I've never
sold to a guy named Patel. Watch this movie if you've ever considered a
career in sales but don't watch it with your spouse. See this watch?
Put the coffee down. It takes brass balls to sell real estate. If you
don't like this movie, consider yourself part brain dead. Go rent
Independance Day and lick a vanilla ice cream cone while you're
watching the Yankees and lament about the 70 degree weather, you lame
peice of s.


The Hunt for Red October

*1 star GT from El Cerrito, CA 0 out of 55 people found this review helpful.

I am disgusted and dismayed by another example where the left-wing,
elitist Hollywood intelligentsia are able to march in with a few
hundred million dollars of money and completely distort the portrayal
of the military. It is completely understanding that they chose as
their male lead the acknowledged buffoon, adulterer, and Liberal, Alec
“Panderer” Baldwin, as their “male” lead. This film is a disgrace to
our Great Country and to the great tradition of America, which is Film.


Ghostbusters 2

Ghostbusters 2 was as good as the second one. Great humor & story. A must-see.

No actually, I think your head is exploding from how *awful* Ghostbusters 2 was. The circular reference is just bonus points

priceless

dude, i am going to adopt "why don't you go rent Independence Day & lick a vanilla ice cream cone" as my new go-to blow off. the next time someone insults me they are getting an earful of that action.

and i can't help but agree with this assessment: "Ghostbusters 2 was as good as the second one."

i might have to start writing fullies instead of just the $0.02 reviews...

Forget that netflix crap; what you wanna do is read the insanity that is the Amazon reader reviews of 'The Fountainhead'.

Unbelievably, I actually didn't hate this book. Despite my husband's insistence upon hanging Ayn's portrait in our den and the fact that it ultimately contributed to the demise of my marriage.

Analyzing "The Fountainhead" is like dissecting a frog. Very few people are interested and it kills the frog.

You people saying 'The Fountainhead' is a bad book are EVIL

I love all those movies.

I had a boss who once did a briefing that was 90% similar to Alec Baldwin's in Glengarry Glen Ross.

"Good father? Fuck you. Go home play with your kids."

And the correct quote is " If Shiva himself came down..." Shiva being an Indian( Hindu)God.

Brilliant acting by everyone. What a cast!

Another good movie... "Snatch". Great dialogue.
"Cousin Abraham 'Avi' Denovitz: Eight-four carats.
Rosebud: Where?
Cousin Abraham 'Avi' Denovitz: London.
Rosebud: London?
Cousin Abraham 'Avi' Denovitz: London.
Jeweler: London?
Cousin Abraham 'Avi' Denovitz: Yes, London. You know, fish, chips, cup o' tea. Bad food, worse weather. Mary fu**in' Poppins. London!
