T-Rav's Sockpuppet Theater Presents: Children of the Corn!

Yes, we will be doing play by play of tonight's debate. . . what debate you ask? Tonight's ABC/Des Moines Register/Republican Children of the Corn Debate! Live from Drake University in beautiful Des Moines, Iowa! Here piggy piggy piggy.


In case you missed it, Cain put his campaign into suspended animation, like Walt Disney, until a cure can be found for failure. Huntsman lost his invite and can't be there tonight. Michelle Bachmann will attend, but first she has to shake an 8 year old stalker. Rick Perry will attend, after a quick stop at the Brokeback Mountain gift shop. Brokeback Mountain could be Beaker's favorite film. Mitt Romney plans to attend provided everyone thinks that's the right choice for him and for America. Newt plans to appear because he invented debating and he luvs him some cow tipping. And Ron Paul will appear, but won't be allowed to speak.

Anyhoo, the debate is on ABC. . . 9:00 pm EST. We'll put a link to the live feed: (HERE).


In the meantime, while I have your attention, I need some help coming up with a list of films that you think include genuine liberal "sucker punches." :)

  1. Andrew, What's the sucker punch list for?

  2. Here's an article about Happy Feet 2 and some others from the Hollywood Reporter.

  3. "Source Code" - It's all about how the real terrorists are white guys.

    "Machete" - It's full of racist white border patrol guys.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Thanks DUQ. I've specifically avoided Machete for that reason. I guess I'll have to see it.

    ReplyDelete
  5. What about RoboCop, or at least the series? It's been awhile since I've seen any of them, but the last time I watched any of them (can't remember which) I remember thinking it was a load of propaganda. I'd have to rewatch to get more specific than that.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Good question. I know the director wanted it to be full of anti-conservative digs, but I don't recall anything specific that struck me... just a bunch of bland "corporate American sucks" type stuff.

    Interestingly, the second film actually attacks political correctness, though they ironically pretend corporate America is behind it.

  8. Bev, No need to call for help. Just drink some KoolAid, it will all be ok soon...

    ReplyDelete
  9. Okay, here is a brief list, fully up for debate, that I've been jotting down while doing other things.

    Good Morning, Vietnam (total distortion of source facts)

    Shawshank Redemption (criminals are kinldy, misunderstood souls)

    The Cider House Rules (pro-abortion/contraception)

    Born on the Fourth of July

    Three Kings

    12 Angry Men (total corruption of the legal process)

    E.T. (insofar as many liberals view it as a coming-of-age love story. I wish I were kidding)

    All Eisner-era Disney animation and afterward

    Grease

    ReplyDelete
  10. Re: RoboCop - this is one of those films that both liberals and conservatives seem to love: the former for the anti-corporate stuff (though it's at least done in a funny, satirical manner), and the latter because it's basically an old-fashioned western, pro-law enforcement, with a lone gunslinger who has to clean up a town. One can also see it as a Christ metaphor (which is how director Paul Verhoeven interpreted it). On the DVD extras, producer Jon Davison labels the film "fascism for liberals" (I don't know what that means). :-)

    Re: Source Code - I must respectfully disagree. I finally saw the movie and, yeah, the villain's a white guy. So what? Nowhere in the film is it implied that all terrorists are white guys or that Muslims are just innocent victims or that the US isn't worth defending. If I may be so bold, if the film were released right now, I guarantee at least one commenter on BH would submit that the bad guy could represent an OWS nut, who only wants to see the world burn. And the terrorist is just a McGuffin. His race is irrelevant. A joke Family Guy did featuring a Nazi wearing a McCain/Palin pin was waaay more offensive than anything in this movie.

    Re: Machete - man, oh man! A left-leaning friend of mine )who is also of Hispanic descent) said he was officially done with Robert Rodriguez after watching this film. "It badmouths anyone who doesn't want to see every last illegal immigrant come into this country!" he told me. Ha!

    ReplyDelete
  11. tryanmax, What's wrong with Grease?!

    The thing about something like Born on the Fourth of July is that you kind of know what to expect going in. I'm looking more for "out of the blue"/unexpected shots.

    I debated Three Kings. That might fall into the category because it really does mock the military.

    12 Angry Men irks me something fierce. I call it 12 Angry Strawmen because it's so warped and such a pathetic set up.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Here's one for the surprisingly conservative list: Man of the House starring Tommy Lee Jones. Sure, the comedy is centered around the girls trying to make him trendy and hip. But the drama is focused around him teaching the girls some timeless principles.

    ReplyDelete
  13. BTW, it just happens to be on right now.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Scott,

    I think we've found one if your left-leaning friend hates Machette for it's leftist message! LOL!

    I have yet to see Source Code, but I'm told it's not just the matter of the bad guy being white (which isn't a problem) but that they first suspect an Arab and then it's not him and they go into a speech specifically about racial profiling and racism. If that's the case, then it sounds like a sucker punch... though I have not seen it and cannot say for sure.

    Robocop is an odd film. It strikes me as a film made by a very liberal and anti-American director who didn't realize that much of what he is attacking is liberalism and the consequences of liberalism. I suspect that's why both sides can like the film -- conservatives see the anti-liberalism and liberals see the intent to be anti-conservative.

    Starship Troopers is the same thing. In the name of being a subversive "anti-fascist" film, Verhoeven actually makes a pretty strongly pro-fascist film.

    ReplyDelete
  15. tryanmax, I haven't seen that one. Strangely, I would say The House Bunny is similar. On its surface, it appears to be an anti-consumerism rant, but it ends up doing more pushing of traditional values. Though I wouldn't go so far as to call it conservative.

    ReplyDelete
  16. IMO, Grease is a giant attack on traditional values under the auspices of "this is reality, but people just don't want to talk about it."

    In the end, good-girl Sandy abandons her principles in order to fit in, big closing number, and scene!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I honestly don't recall the racial profiling stuff in Source Code or if it was even there in the first place. To be fair, I have a terrible short-term memory. :-) I do remember the Jodie Foster film Flight Plan did something similar. There was no speech but her daughter goes missing on a plane and two Muslim passengers are used as a red herring.

    As far as The House Bunny, I've said this before: you could apply the "conservative" label to any number of similar films about slackers and ne'er-do-wells who grow up, from the Revenge of the Nerds films to the Police Academy films to Stripes, ad infinitum.

    ReplyDelete
  18. tryanmax, Huh. On the one hand, you're right. The film is definitely not pro-traditional values in any way. On the other hand, I never really notice. Interesting.

    Guess I got distracted by the music?

    ReplyDelete
  19. I included Born on the 4th because, as I recall, I think a lot of people were taken in by the way it was marketed. But the film itself is quite obvious.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Scott, I try to avoid labeling too much because I think most films are generally neutral. They have a little liberalism, a little conservatism, and generally don't realize they are doing either.

    That said, I would definitely say that many of these films "impart conservative values" whether that is the intent or not.

    Something like The House Bunny draws upon both liberalism and conservatism, though it leans more conservative than liberal. But in the end, I think it's hard to call it one or the other.

    Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar.

    ReplyDelete
  21. "Born on the Fourth of July" really pissed me off at the anti-war people because of the way they treated the soldiers.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Man of the House is kinda the same, only the formula that it follows is "square guy ain't so square, after all."

    ReplyDelete
  23. tryanmax and Ed, I have to say I honestly never finished Born of the Fourth of July. I saw it on television and just lost interest most of the way through.

    I did read about the thing with the barber. I don't know if that's true or not, but if it is, then frankly they should have started shooting college kids on principle. That's an obscenity, but it fits with other things I've heard about the anti-war crowd.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hey, I like "Grease"! What's wrong with that one?! (And also RoboCop; it's so bad it's good.)

    ReplyDelete
  25. What's interesting about Grease is that when I was a kid, I never knew how dirty some of the film is. Of course, I know now, but not at the time.

    ReplyDelete
  26. By the way, I find it disturbing that of the original eight candidates, only five of them now have undefaced pics on your post...and one of them is Ron Paul.

    "sucker punches," huh? I can't think of a film right off the bat, but the entire seventh season of 24 was one long exercise in liberal shibboleths, in my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Will Ferrell fans, what do you think about The Other Guys? I've heard it is crawling with sucker punches, but haven't actually seen it because watching Will Ferrell films makes my television burst into flames.

    ReplyDelete
  28. T-Rav, It's a strange world indeed, isn't it. I have no idea what to expect tonight.


    Television counts too.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Wait, now that I think of it, I was always irked that they turned the end of The Fugitive into an attack on "Big Pharma." Not enough that you can't ignore it, but I thought it was uncalled for in an otherwise great cat-and-mouse game.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Well, if it helps at all, I do still love Grease and playing Doody in my college production was one of the highlights of my sad little life.

    ReplyDelete
  31. T-Rav, I actually never thought about that in The Fugitive. I just took it as his friend being a thief. Interesting.


    tryanmax, I have no idea what the highlight of my life would be. But it would probably involve some donuts. Yummy.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Re: The Fugitive, the villain is clearly one doctor who screwed up, not "the system" or the industry itself. Tommy Lee Jones has a line about Devlin-MacGregor: "This company's a monster" (in terms of its profits) but that's it. Small potatoes.

    Re: The Other Guys, from what I remember, the end credits are accompanied by a bizarre PowerPoint-style presentation about the economy, corporate greed, etc. I didn't freeze-frame my player to read it! While greed is a problem, I'm sure the presentation was mostly one-sided. Some of the sucker punches that BH discussed at the time (Rush Limbaugh on the radio complaining about Obama, etc.) were obviously cut or never filmed since I didn't notice them.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hey Andrew,
    Watching Will Farrell makes MY television burst into flames too! Someone should stop him before it's too late.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Yeah, I remember reading that about the credits to "The Other Guys." Despite what Andrew may or may not be trying to insinuate, I am not a Will Ferrell fan. He seems to be singularly humorless where the things he holds dear are concerned, and most of his work over the past few years has been a parody of his earlier hits.

    ReplyDelete
  35. How much longer before Jason Segel starts setting TVs on fire, too? I've noticed the plastic is somewhat warped after he appears onscreen.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Scott, On The Other Guys, I had heard it's full of tirades, but like I said... I've never seen it. Frankly, I'm hoping it's not full of sucker punches because I don't want to have to watch it.


    T-Rav, I'm not implying that anyone is a Will Ferrell fan... I believe that would be slander in most states and I would never anyone. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Bev, It sounds like a plot by Big Television to force people to replace their sets more often!!


    tryanmax, I don't care for Segel either. I think he's just all around dull.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Forrest Gump...overview of pop culture OR flat out telling Americans that they are "pretty much" retarded.

    I'm tuning in to debates :))))

    ReplyDelete
  39. CrisD, I'm glad you're with us! It should be an interesting debate. I'll be curious to see how they handle having few debaters. I'm also curious to see who attacks whom.


    Yeah, I've never been sure what to make of Forrest Gump. Is it a nice movie or an insult? I honestly don't know.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Interesting comments from everyone. Sorry, but I've been chopping wood all day for the Franklin stove to save on propane expenditures. Now it's time to go up to my daughter's house for dinner. I'll miss the debate, but I'm sure you will all fill me in with your comments by the time I get home.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Okay, so now that we're getting closer, here are my pre-debate predictions--you figure out which are serious and which are not.

    1. Newt will probably win the debate but not so conclusively as to rally the whole party behind him, because--I mean, come on. It's Newt.
    2. Romney will bank on the other candidates tearing each other to pieces, while he stands there looking so @#$%ing smug and faux-presidential with his carefully groomed hair and...sorry, where was I?
    3. Ron Paul will continue to be Ron Paul.
    4. All the candidates will make a shameless pitch to the natives by standing behind large bushels of corn instead of podiums.
    5. Given the endorsements he's racked up from influential Iowans over the past few days, Santorum might (and I do stress MIGHT) have a chance at a minor breakout tonight, as far as the state caucus is concerned. That is, he will if only they will let him finish.
    6. The entire debate will be haunted by Donald Trump's comb-over.
    7. After suffering through a debate conducted by Diane Sawyer and George Snuffleupagus, the GOP will realize it's playing into liberal hands with these debates and conduct itself in a more serious and rational manner in the future.

    (Hint: Only one of those is 100% not going to happen.)

    ReplyDelete
  42. T-Rav, I'm thinking only number 7 is truly far-fetched. The rest will probably happen.

    ReplyDelete
  43. My predictions are this:

    1. Newt will attack the reporters for asking him such "foolish" questions and for asking him to participate in something called a "debate." Odds: 100%.

    2. I think Romney needs to take Newt down. He will attack (1) his comment on the poor being lazy, (2) his comment on the Palestinians being a "made up people" and (3) he'll bring up Trump somehow. Odds: 75%.

    3. Paul will finally lose his patience with everyone, will literally split into two of himself and will be beside himself with anger at not being taken seriously. Odds: 4%.

    4. Santorum will come out of the closet and hit on Rick Perry. Odds: 37%.

    5. Bachmann will bury us in details about how ethanol works and how Iowa is the bestest state ever. Odds: 89%.

    6. My head will explode. Odds: 100%.

    7. Rick Perry will state "there ain't no homorsexuals in Iowa." Odds: 69%.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think this is the live feed, but I'm not sure:

    ReplyDelete
  45. In all fairness to Newt, Palestinians pretty much are a "made-up people"; no one called them that before 1948 and the establishment of Israel. There's plenty they can and should attack him on, but not that.

    I had a really dirty thought when I read your last prediction, but I'm not gonna share.

    ReplyDelete
  46. No, we seriously need an entire one-hour program to announce the winner of the Heisman Trophy, because it takes us 54 minutes to spit out the answer! Honest!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Is this only on the web? Because the "pre-game show" online is not on air.

    ReplyDelete
  48. More people watch Nightline than any other late-night program? What's the total viewership, seven?

    ReplyDelete
  49. T-Rav, I have no idea what you are talking about, I certainly did not imply anything dirty! ;)


    Oh, I agree, they are "made up." But the problem with Newt is again one of saying things he shouldn't or at least saying things in ways he shouldn't.

    ReplyDelete
  50. tryanmax, it's coming on ABC now.

    ReplyDelete
  51. tryanmax, It's on ABC. It just started here... we had Judge Judy before this.

  52. Here's my prediction: since I live within spitting distance of Iowa, I will.

    ReplyDelete
  53. How was this the most incredible week ever? Personally, I thought it was pretty blah. Oh wait, do you mean because Amanpour got canned?

    ReplyDelete
  54. And I was a lot less painful to watch than this will be, wasn't I?

    ReplyDelete
  55. I've actually been to Iowa. That's about all I have to say about it.

  56. I was confused because my local affiliate was airing some other ABCNews program.

    ReplyDelete
  57. We're all narcissists. It's bred into the corn.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Wait. What? Amanpour got canned and I missed it? How did that happen?

    ReplyDelete
  59. Wait, you introduced Santorum first and Bachmann last? Who decided that?

    ReplyDelete
  60. I have to say, Diane Sawyer is already rubbing me wrong and she hasn't said anything.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Oh, great. If anyone in the audience is driving a vehicle, that's gonna be really confusing. Someone could get hurt.

  71. Shoulda started a pool on how many times Ron Paul will say "Federal Reserve." He's right out of the gate tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Christine Amanpour is being "replaced", not fired. She hasn't brought the numbers like they thought she would.

    I just can't watch this debate. I'm getting a stress rash...I'll just read the comments and make stuff up as you go along.

    ReplyDelete
  73. T-Rav, I'm not sure. He was doing fine and then I lost interest.

  82. Bachmann: "I'm a former tax lawyer and I've raised thousands of foster children."

    ReplyDelete
  83. And that's important, because then all my kids can find jobs. Have I told you how many I have?

    ReplyDelete
  84. "the win plan"

    I HATE people who come up with kitchy names like that.

    ReplyDelete
  86. All candidates: Corn, corn-corn, corny, corn-corn.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Santorum's "manufacturing only" thing is called picking winners and losers.

    ReplyDelete
  88. But Andrew, she said it three times fast! A can't-lose delivery method!

    ReplyDelete
  89. Michelle Bachmann was a tax attorney AND has fostered many, many children?? Who knew!

  90. In case you couldn't tell, I think Romney's totally awesome. At least until he runs against Obama.

  143. With her mind, Andrew. With. Her. Mind.

  144. So Cain is gone and now the debate has turned into a bunch of whiny and sniping.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Andrew, whatever. He's all "try my cereal." Meanwhile, he's Sugar Crisp below deck. Hypocrite!

    ReplyDelete
  146. Stop fighting, Michelle

    ReplyDelete
  147. Count Chocula is a communist. Capt'n Crunch 2012!

    ReplyDelete
  148. And I am that person. You can tell I'm serious, because I just referred to myself in the third person.

  149. I dunno when Bachmann ever led 40,000 people to Washington, but she has just led one person to drink...at least.

    ReplyDelete
  150. Well, if you count Bachmann showing up at the "anti-healthcare legislation" tea party rally, then, okay. But "lead" is a stretch.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Yeah, you two have been acting so friendly tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  152. I hadn't thought about Newt and Romney being clones. I suppose that's possible. We should have their DNA checked.

    ReplyDelete
  153. I would have to see Count Chocula's birth certificate.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Excuse you, Andrew?! You're calling Chocula a commie after the big spending policies of Crunch? Talk about your cereal hypocrisy.

    ReplyDelete
  155. That was the infamous March 20th rally where all those racists swore at the Congressional Black Caucus members and Pelosi beat them with a gavel. (something like that...)

    ReplyDelete
  156. Heck, until just now I wasn't sure Perry was still here. Come to think of it, I'm still not sure.

    ReplyDelete
  157. That's racist trynmax, Chocula may have grown up in Transylvania, but he was born in the USA. No... proof... needed.

    LOL on the Sugar Crisp comment.

    ReplyDelete
  158. But my advisers have said that. Wait, did I say that out loud?

    ReplyDelete
  159. Bev, I recall that... though it was more than 40,000 and I don't think Bachmann was their leader.

    ReplyDelete
  160. I hate cereal hypocrisy, like when they changed "Sugar Smacks" to "Honey Smacks" to make it sound more healthy...

    ReplyDelete
  161. Oh, really? We're really going to go down this road AGAIN?

    ReplyDelete
  162. One point that's hysterical?

    oh, historical. Sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  163. Can you guys stop wearing us on your sleeves, please? It's itchy.

    ReplyDelete
  164. So because everyone else was wrong, Newt was right when he was wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  165. Oh, dear. This is sounding boring!!! Maybe Michelle SHOULD start petty fights up again?!

    ReplyDelete
  166. End the cereal hypocrisy in Washington. Join the Toaster Pastry REVOLUTION.

    ReplyDelete
  167. I read yer book. Really, I can read.

    ReplyDelete
  168. I do not believe Count Chocula's birth certificate is real! I believe it was forged! Vote for me!

    ReplyDelete
  169. I'm serious. Am I the only one having a problem hearing any substance here?

    ReplyDelete
  170. Oooh! Oooh! Call on me! I'm still here!

    ReplyDelete
  171. Like I said, Andrew, I'm still waiting for either the first answer or the jello pit.

    I hope it's lime.

    ReplyDelete
  172. Nope, Andrew, I haven't heard a freakin' thing for the past half hour. We are all screwed.

    ReplyDelete
  173. Bachmann is a loser.

    ReplyDelete
  174. Bachmann is a loser.

    ReplyDelete
  175. The Toaster Pastry is nothing but a pawn of the Captain Crunch bigwigs! We're the only true independent outsiders!

    ReplyDelete
  176. T-Rav, I honestly thought it was just me. I'm hearing lots of words, but none of this seems to make any sense? All I'm hearing is: "you're a liar, I'm a leader" "nuh uh."

    ReplyDelete
  177. Thank God that Cain dropped out. If he were still here, we'd have to talk substance.

    ReplyDelete
  178. Bev, there are rumors that he's a presidential candidate. Stupid Pennsylvania jokers, running a Muppet for president...
