  1. Iran doesnt want the oil prices to be low. That was caused by Saudi to hurt Iran.

    These prices are bankrupting the Saudis as well if this goes on much longer. But without a doubt it is hurting small independent shale producers in the US that were a big part of the energy boom leading us out of recession. Unfortunately there isn't much we can do as ethical, responsible consumers to avoid supporting terrorism besides driving less. It's nearly impossible to determine where a particular service station gets its gasoline because crude oil that is refined is traded among a range of companies on the global market by its grade, not source....and in any case oil from Angola or Russia or Venezuela or wherever could be even worse than from the Middle East. :(

  2. I will never understand how American have friendly relation with Saudi Arabia, one of the worst, retrograde country in the world. Oil has way too much power unfortunately.

    If this Shiekh actually called for the violent overthrow of the government, and I don’t know that to be true, then he had to know what was coming. Hopefully the US will resist taking sides because if Middle East oil fields burn, of course this only makes the American and other stable regions of domestic oil more valuable — unfortunate at the gas pump but lower supply means higher prices for American producers. The ultimate revenge on both our "friends" the Saudis and Iran who both want to keep oil prices artificially low to hurt the United States. :clap:

  3. I've seen it, thanks. Looks like a robe though.

    And it said that it's from a scene that was cut. There's also a tape circling with more cut scenes.

    I wanna see them soooo badddd :)

    Well let us know what you find. These stills don't match up with any of the alternative sequences I'm aware of but could conceivably be from one of the early rehearsal scenes of the three characters (while they are all still on good terms).

  4. Why do people dislike Madonna -The actress- so much to write this kind of nonsense? Last time I checked, Adam Sandler is still making movies and No one writes thise kind of hurtful words to him

    Adam Sandler gets crushed by critics as much but at the height of his run he hit upon a formula of films that were made to make money, which means there are some people that can sit through movies like that which we know are terrible and enjoy them. TNBT also made a profit which goes to show that Madonna obviously sets the bar higher for herself than a slapstick star like Sandler who has aged out of his adolescent material along with the audience. :)

  5. Madonna's has been political for almost her entire career. She has been a woman with opinions on world matters since day one whether it was being in your face outspoken or simply leading by example and once you enter that area, and even more so on a public stage you have entered the arena of politics if its intentional or not.

    Kind of sad seeing a so called Madonna loon pretty much spitting in her face when it comes to this issue.

    Madonna has had her personal issues with him. But Trump has also very interestingly been a longtime close family friend and business associate of the Casares family in Miami, even going so far to refer to Ingrid as a "visionary thinker" :lol:. I wonder if that will carry any weight with M :?

  6. The difference being Obama isn't out there demonizing people from Central America leading to an uptick of attacks on these people. They are here illegally so we can get into the ins and outs of that. I personally am against it. Especially if its going to be splitting up families. But again. The way Obama goes about doing his business and the way Donald Trump does his with his rhetoric are TWO DIFFERENT things. You cant even compare them.

    How is Obama going about his business ? By promising to grant executive amnesty to illegal immigrants that spawned a rush of Central Americans to our borders. When they had their asylum claims adjudicated through the legal system and proceeded to disappear instead of following orders to return they can't be forcibly turned back without huge controversy. The people in question here have had their day in court and been asked to leave the country. What's the problem? It is total enforcement theater. Except that they will no doubt flee again now that the locations of these 'raids' have been purposefully publicized in advance.

  7. again, diverting the attention away from obama and throwing THE SPOTLIGHT on donald.

    therein lies the problem across the board.

    I agree. These incidences against Muslims started to spike after the Paris and California terrorist attacks, nothing to do with Trump unless he was responsible for the increase after 9/11 as well. :newspaper:

  8. I love this film! I mean, i love M's scenes! :)

    The first time i've heard about cut scenes was around 12 years ago.. and Now i've read a few pics from those scenes resurfaced a while ago..

    Any chance or reposting here? or if you guys know anything about the unreleased footage- I'd love to hear!

    There was one screen shot posted at Madonnalicious Dec 22nd or 23rd 2013 (the SNL thread) but that is all I've seen (could be a rehearsal pic ?). Ferrara is such a fanatic about defending his contractual right of final cut I doubt there are more around that were filmed at least officially. Too bad he is gone from social media or we could ask in the Q&A sessions about the movie. :(

  9. I'm just going to make a prediction

    Republican nominee: Ted Cruz

    Democratic nominee: Hillary Clinton

    It's still really early and I may change my mind later, but I think they are the most likely possibility at the moment. There's no way they are going to allow Trump to be nominated, even if it means going against Republican voters.

    Cruz should also be winning by a landslide picking up almost every big endorsement in an evangelical state that selected Santorum and Huckabee the last two times but Trump is still getting far bigger crowds, so who knows ? If Trump wins fair and square and is still denied the nomination even non supporters are not going to stand by and watch a theft which gives him pretty much unstoppable momentum against both Hillary and the Republican establishment. He is preferable to Cruz in temperament and ideology but still a living, breathing PR nightmare. If Cruz wins in Iowa, and it’s very iffy, he will win by the skin of his teeth.IMO. :)

  10. Omg PUD is basically spot on w/ that Madonna/ 1985 analogy! lol. The 24/7 media coverage is insane and only getting more/ more intense! CANNOT turn on any news or semi news station w/out every other word or discussion being about this man. Exactly the same level of intensity, fixation, fascination, obsession (good or bad) like was for Madonna 1985-92ish. :D Polar opposite of the 100% media 'love' for Obama which greatly helped him win! But I think the coverage for Trump is 100x crazier. Like M during her zenith...whether it's good or bad (mainly the way it is for Trump and def. M most of the time), when the media becomes your bitch you *always win!!

    Definitely. And they haven't even been forced to deal with all that nasty Clinton baggage yet. The media and political establishment are losing control and losing their minds in the process....:lol:

  11. Yet! He's actually the most LGBT friendly!! :ohmy: Buds w/ George Takei, been to a gay wedding(s) called it 'beautiful' and is against people being fired for being gay etc... He RARELY ever talks about social issues unlike basically every other single one. Rubio and Cruz (two front-runners behind Trump) has been vocally SUPER anti gay. If either one of them or basically any others (including the 'moderates' lol Bush and the obese corrupt Jersey fucker who *vetoed gay marriage) almost overnight gays etc...go back 20+ years!

    He is definitely the most "pro-gay" candidate of all the Republicans, not for gay marriage (today) but supports amending the Civil Rights Act to include sexual orientation non-discrimination. Open any of his books to a random page and there are about four good ideas and four bad ones. :lol: All I know is that if Trump truly wants to be President than he needs to start talking in a more smart, precise way. He does not have to pull any punches. But the bombast is starting to obscure important, salient points like the United States might need a TEMPORARY pause in handling refugees and visitors of certain sects from certain from Muslim countries until a better system is in place for separating out the good from those radical elements who wish to do us harm.

  12. Whatever. Hillary was right. Isis wants the west to isolate Muslims and demonize them to play right into their "The west hates Muslims" narrative and the idiots on the right here are doing just that.

    The ultimate victory for terrorists would be for free countries to delegitimaze political speech against Muslims for the aim of criminizaliing it. But whether you agree with Hillary doubling down on political correctness or not, Jerry Falwell is also not the one being investigated by the FBI for disseminating classified information in an official capacity from an unsecured private server which is pretty much the definition of treason and espionage. Glass houses and stones and all that.... :(

  13. Hillary is basically applying the old “the woman brought the rape on herself by dressing provocatively” concept to the Republicans who are denouncing radical Islam. According to her demagoguery, anyone who disagrees with her and speaks out about Islamic atrocities are somehow PROVOKING Muslims to jihad, and therefore it is the Republicans who are responsible and thereby guilty of these acts. It is despicable, dishonest rhetoric. As she said once herself I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you’re not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration. I am 1000% against Falwell (Jr & Sr)'s politics but the Constitution protects even so-called hate speech and it is absolutely within his right to cry, spew, spout and declare what he wants about guns, the 2nd Amendment and Muslims without being accused of treason. As it is hers,

  14. Just watched the interview on This Morning with George Stephanopoulos and Hillary actually used the phrase "providing aid and comfort to ISIS" in describing Jerry Falwell's comments against Muslims, which amount to an accusation of treason after he suggested students get concealed carry permits so they could prevent the next San Bernadino from happening. Unbelievable. So apparently the First Amendment doesn't apply if you are talking about Muslims badly ??? Not only is Clinton defying the Constitution, but she is LYING to do it. The only explanation I can come up with is that she is campaigning and clearly foresees the charges of treason from the FBI against her. If you can criminalize criticism of Islam, it isn't that farfetched to suggest you can criminalize criticism of the Clintons and the Democratic party as a whole. :(

  15. Just for the record, Trump ALWAYS does that spastic thing, and makes that identical face when he is ridiculing dishonest or stupid people. It is a style of ridicule that gets tiring after a while admittedly but.when it refers to a liberal reporter caught in a lie denying his 2001 story on Arabs/Muslims celebrating after 9/11 (which the FBI has also corroborated) someone obviously realized that Trump could be maliciously framed by it.


  16. Trump is losing his mind, now says he saw thousands of people in NJ cheering as the towers fell on 9/11.

    There were arrests and at least a few dozen celebrators in the Jersey City/Patterson area according to witnesses. But Trump does have an amazing ability for seeing what never happened. There is even a plaque on his golf course at Lowe's Island honoring a major Civil War battle that there is absolutely zero documentary or archaeological evidence ever occurred. Of course the historians weren't there so how could they know any better than him, right ? This piece of real estate is just too valuable for nothing to have gone down on it because I say it should. Trump exaggerating or embellishing, or even making up, the truth is nothing to be surprised about anymore.

    “Many great American soldiers, both of the North and South, died at this spot. The casualties were so great that the water would turn red and thus became known as ‘The River of Blood.’ It is my great honor to have preserved this important section of the Potomac River!”

    Nice sentiment, small problem: there apparently was no such battle. The man is an ignorant boor.

  17. Brahim has been nothing but respectful towards Madonna. He simply said in an interview even while they were together that he felt uncomfortable not knowing whether he was appreciated for himself or being used by outsiders to get to her, which comes with the territory but is still a valid concern. He's never minimized the impact of their story or lashed out at her in at all the same way. Proof that there is always two (or more) sides to the break up of every dating relationship. :)

  18. Thoughts were the point of that. Real change comes about when people start to think. It's much more effective than storming the streets.

    The film was meant to inspire artists and an expression of how one artist feels about what is going on around them.

    I think it from the outset it was more a "think tank" or brainstorming project that gradually evolved from underwear into the Rebel Heart concept.

  19. Maybe she is tired of joking that she doesn't know herself

    Seriously, Who's that girl is far more interesting as a song than GT. And there is the "oldie" value. It is a jam!

    She needs to get her time right so the audience won't miss the Medley.

    I like the song better but maybe she is just tired of joking that she doesn't know herself. :lol: And Ghosttown is more appropriate for the times as a social/political statement.
