    ......Umm what? Everything Maleficent does in the movie is because of the 

    date-rape allegory.

     

    This is crap and you heard the same thing from [mostly male] critics

     

    Why when something bad happens to a women people start yelling '[symbolic] rape'

     

    There was no rape... either real nor symbolic.

     

    Stefan was not  trying to assert himself over her... he needed to kill her for the throne.  When he didn't have the guts to do that he took a trophy to prove he did.

    ??? Frozen is done in U.S. Theaters. Don't be greedy. :lol:

     

    Has nothing to do with greedy  The increased Box Office would have been applied to Maleficent... not Frozen.

     

    The question is... would more people go see a CA2/Maleficent ( your suggestion ) or a Frozen/Maleficent (mine) double feature.

     

    Anyone one that has watched all 3 movies should agree that a Frozen/Maleficent would bring in more money... even someone from the Frozen Haters Club.

    Yeah, yeah... morgage crisis. The problem is more fundamental than that. 

     

    Nouriel Roubini and Joseph Stiglitz are talking mouths? I never knew.  ;)

     

    Politics does not belong in this thread.

     

    I've moved our discussion to the politics forum if you want to continue it:

    That was the calm before the storm. Glass-Steagall was gutted by Clinton late in his second term and that had a lot to do with the 2008 crash. Clinton was as responsible for the crash as Bush was. The overall trend was down.

     

    Not.

     

    If you want to understand what caused the crash it's best to turn off the talking mouths and read one of the 100s of expert analysts on what caused it:

     

    Here is one of them.
