Promised Land

Green Weenie of the Week: Matt Daaaymon, and His Flatulent Movie “Promised Land”, via Powerline:

If Matt Daaaymon was hoping his new Arab-funded film “Promised Land” would do for natural gas “fracking” what “The China Syndrome” did for nuclear power, he’d better hope for a sequel to “Team America” to rescue him from being an embarrassment to the professional Left.  John already took official Power Line notice of the movie a few weeks ago, and I already gave Damon a Green Weenie back in September when news of the Arab financing for the film first broke, but with the film coming out today, the reviews are starting to trickle in like a load of freshly-fracked gas. It turns out that even left-leaning movie reviewers find it risible.  For that amazing achievement, Damon deserves a second Weenie.

Take Time magazine’s movie critic, Richard Corliss.  He finds the movie dubious, at best:

Left-wingers in the mainstream media — by which I mean me — are supposed to lap up a movie that plays to our farm-loving, tree-hugging prejudices. But even we know that well-meaning does not automatically equal good movie. Some organic life is needed. And the only crop Promised Land harvests is Capra Corn. . .

Moreover, he expresses sympathy for the risk-taking entrepreneurs who brought us the gas boon:

Promised Land... is nothing more than a Faht-in-a-Gale when compared to the news that Islamobama is presenting the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Gov't of
Mahamed Morsi a gift of 20 F-16 fighter jets as part of a one billion more in foreign aid package!

Question: Is Barry H. Obama
not a closet muslim?

Just another Hollyweird a-hole with an agenda to destroy this country.

When are Joe and Mary real America gonna wake up?
"we the people" can put a stop to this crap if we organize and take back this country !

"We The People" !!!!!
Damnit !
Only when we demand an accounting of Barack Hussein Obama instead of being infatuated with a-holes like Matt Damon will things begin to change , and we will have a shot at saving this country.

only then.

hopefully soon.

@ Reb a real American :
Barack Hussein Obama is a traitor and needs to indicted in a court of Law .

He is a traitor and he hates this country.

Pray he soon is subjected to the RULE OF LAW.

I try really hard to avoid the Hollywood idiots
from Mat Damon,Michael Moore, Oliver Stone, De Niro, Damon, Will Smith,
Streisand, Alec Baldwin, Clooney, Samuel Jackson, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Wanda Sykes,Rosie O’Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, and lets not forget the racist's racist's Danny Glover, and Oprah etc.
The bottom line is and what I just can't understand I do not understand is the fact that the public's idea's are that celebs are the most intelligent people available. These people are actors and only actors, some are bad and some are good ones. However they are no different than anyone else that has an opinion! Why do some people put these dolts on a pedestal?
THE SAME GOES FOR PROFESSIONAL ATHLETICS.
I now know why Obama loves movie stars. He is just as arrogant as they are.
On another note.
We simply cannot afford four more years of the out of control spending and redirecting the US economy toward a socialist dictatorship! Obama is a Socialist and intends to remake the USA into this form of government.
