I saw the movie Steve. It was crap. Were you even watching the same movie?

Jones DOES give a good performance, but the movie was one giant polemic on the evils of America, the military, and ordinary Americans.

Jones finds out his son was just as "evil and sadistic" as the rest of the military, and is himself a brutal racist.

What's the point? Why should we even CARE about solving the mystery or Jones character if everyone and everything is loathesome?

Which is the point. Haggis like all other too-rich, too-drugged out Hollywood screenwriters, wants to aim his self-hatred out to ordinary people and their institutions. Particularly the military and particularly ordinary white guys who are of course the source of all evil. Excepting himself of course.

As Exhibit A on Haggis and the rest of Hollywood's class-race hatred for Americans Elah is interesting. Other than that, and particularly as a film, it's as boring as most agit-prop.

[And Theron can't act her way out of a paper bag, once again she's "ugly" so you know it's "serious acting."]

Tommy Lee Jones is the son of a Texas oil worker who was shipped back east to a reeducation camp called Harvard. He is the consummate Ivy League grad. He is animated by his own Competitive Moralism because that is the only way out for heads filled with the American Guilt Complex.

The movie he directed a couple years back -- about the most evil people on the planet, the US Border Patrol, (Three Burials for...) -- was an over-the-top cartoon in its depiction of the working class white villains.

I searched and did not find a Steve Sailer review of Three Burials Melquiades Estrada.

But in keeping with the pattern of aging men intensifying their tribal identities (think Carlos Santana), any project Mr Jones does in the twilight of his career will likely have the same political message: whites as a group do not deserve any authority, moral or otherwise. Tommy Lee Jones' tribe is the peculiar tribe at the top of the left wing moral pyramid: the anti-white white man.

I thought "Crash" was absolute crap. Phony and contrived. A typical Hollywood liberal's look at racial problems in L.A., it had nothing to do with life in L.A. as I know it.
