Rightwing scholars and pundits take a bottomless interest in it (and in how to circumvent the companies’ First Amendment right to moderate content as they see fit). Republican legislators emit plumes of bills on the subject. Their first thought, it often seems, is for how social media companies treat the extremists, conspiracy theorists, and other fringe characters on their websites. Not for them the pursuit of the grand contemporary challenges. In fact, the party’s leaders have rallied around something remarkably small. No one can deny the size and sweep of liberal capitalist disruption.Īre Republicans grappling with the megatrends reshaping their party, society, and the world? Are the big disruptions sparking big thoughts that lead to big policy proposals? In a word, no. Put to one side the knotty question whether the benefits of modernity outweigh the costs. This political rearrangement has been helped along by much larger historical forces, among them the decline of social trust, the collapse of Christianity, the erosion of faith in experts and institutions, the flattening of authority structures and information flows, and the accelerating pace of technological change. Or you could sting to the quick, as David Brooks does, and acknowledge that “much of the Republican Party has become detached from reality.” You could conclude that they have embraced Foucault and postmodern philosophy. You could say that the Republicans have rejected Apollo for Dionysus.
Many observers have tried to capture this shift’s cultural significance. Whereas the counties Al Gore won in the 2000 election accounted for about half the nation’s economic output, for instance, the counties Joe Biden won in 2020 account for more than 70 percent of it.
Here are other examples: The War of the Roses specifics here would amount to a Spoiler, so sorry! And the foreboding music, which itself amounted to a spoiler in some early scenes, seemed to be lifted directly from "Basic Instinct"! 5.5 Stars.“In 1970,” observes Edmund Fawcett in his recent survey of political conservatism, “the best predictor of high conservative alignment in voting was a college education.” “Now,” he notes, “it is the reverse.” Many other statistics sing this tune of political realignment. Several films are mentioned repeatedly in other reviews. Well, at least she seems to be headed in the right direction! OBSESSED seemingly has borrowed elements from a slew of different movies. Maybe she's trying too hard, because in spite of her energy and focus, her performance barely registers an "OK". Beyonce, it should be noted, is making a supreme effort to improve as an actor.
#OBSESSED WITH PROFESSIONAL#
Considering he's from London, his rendering of an American accent was flawless, and I can offer that up as an Expert, Professional opinion. His performance as the responsible executive/unwaveringly loyal husband was utterly credible, absolutely spot on. People don't seem to be giving Idris Elba the credit he deserves. If the scripting had provided her with a more developed, fleshed-in character, I dare say her performance might have been Oscar nomination caliber.
Ali Larter turns in a fine performance as the delusional mistress wannabe. Don't get me wrong, OBSESSED obviously had some positive qualities going for it, or it never would have received 5.5* from the Id of Dr. But my intentions were overwhelmed by a totally deficient story line, and at times, anemic dialog, coupled with a good number of story thread loose ends. Convinced that if I put my Suspension of Disbelief into overdrive, I might reach the credits with a 7 or 8 Star rating. The ONLY Tony Kiss Castillo on FaceBook!- Now, if you're thinking to yourself "What the H*LL kind of alternate Title is that!?!?" Then, how about this one: "My Guess is as Good as Yours!" Because if you're OBSESSED with well written, logical and solid story lines, the second title option fits the bill like an 80's style Madonna glove! (You know, the ones with holes for your fingers! OBSESSED has more plot holes than an Iraqi minefield!) My motivation for Watching this? A Friend's Review.Go ahead and a second (or 3rd) opinion that differs notably from mine! And it's not like I didn't TRY to really enjoy this film.
