Movies that enjoyed me watching them...

In the past year, I've seen these movies and enjoyed them very much. Many of them were released before this year. But you forgive me for that. I know you do.
So here it goes:

Boy A - Best movie
Son of Rambow
3:10 to Yuma
Bobby
Rambo - see it to believe it
City of Men
Charlie Bartlett
Great World of Sound
Teeth
Cloverfield
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
King of Kong
Slumdog Millionaire
Rocket Science
Children of Men
Wall-E - the other Best Movie of the Code of Ethnics year
The Orphanage
Rescue Dawn
Iron Man
The Dark Knight

Just Great!

This pisses me off!

Everywhere I go, all that I see are "Yes on 8" signs. I had no idea there were so many Mormons or Nazis in our beloved City of Angels.

How can anyone honestly support something that is based on hate and bullshit?

Of all the measures and propositions, this one seems to be the only one where it's simply a matter of right and wrong. Voting No is RIGHT. Voting Yes is WRONG.

If you vote Yes on this, you are not far off from Hitler. You are feeding people to the lions. Let's evolve. Become smarter and less stupid!

And seriously, have you seen the ads for the 'Yes on 8' campaign? I'm pretty sure they are about as stupid as they come. Even my parents don't support it!
