Andrew Klavan's Oscars: The Best Films Never Made

[topperheartramada]

I think we need a film about Hamas bravely fighting the evil Israelis.

[MetalSights]

@topperheartramada We also need a movie of Hamas firing rockets into evil neighborhoods and blowing up carbombs in evil marketplaces filled with evil day labourers. Also the good of decapitating and terrorism on civilians, and how bad the Israelis are for shooting back

[topperheartramada]

@MetalSights Actually I'd like to see a film made about how Obama after years of hatd work finally earned the Nobel peace prize. I want to see this one man's titanic struggle and self-sacrifice in a 3 hour film, preferably directed by Oliver Stone.

[MetalSights]

@topperheartramada I'm with you on that one. Also, maybe an epilogue about his birth certificate.

[topperheartramada]

The Klavan Oscar statue looks like Mini Me

[robtjonz]

When the movie being made from Michael Savage's book, LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER, comes out, I'll be first in line to see it.

Just kidding. No movie is being made.

But there should be.

[Boredpersons55]

Good evening, my fellow Americans. I can't even begin to describe how luck you are to have me as President. I am very smart just listen to me talk, have you ever heard someone as smart as me? Didn't think so. Since I'm smarter that you, I'll be making all you decisions for you. Insurance companies are evil. Pure and simple. give me your money and I'll give you some change. Did I mention insurance companies are evil? well, they are. Obama's speech.

[whbon73]

@Boredpersons55 You fail on wit, spelling and sentence structure. You're as dull as the guy in this vid; give up.

[whbon73]

Oh, I think I get it. This is Republican humor.

[colddrake80]

@whbon73 They do try don't they? To bad they so consistently and utterly fail.

[ScarletArchon]

How about the story of 10s of millions of Christians murdered in Russia? They can even call it - the Other Holocaust.

Fun Fact - What did Marx, Trotsky, Lenin, and most of the commissars all have in common?

[colddrake80]

@ScarletArchon That's not a fact it's a question. Try next time.

[hotstixx]

world class puke.

[colddrake80]

@hotstixx Nah, he's dull and common Nothing really stand out about the guy except he's shown himself to say virtually anything with a straight face. I guess that's a talent - at least on the right.

[SteelandSouls15]

lol on obama's speech

[TheWoodman1948]

I am amazed by how many people who are considered "heros" and examples for our society have bought into all o f Obaama's BS! It is scary!

[podimac]

this guy seems really ignorant, not at all funny and has no charisma. a waste of four and a half minutes

[mickeysbasics]

@podimac Wait, you must be...no you can't be...oh, yes, you are aren't you? What you ask? A liberal.  You have my symphathy. Mainly because you don't know what you are.

[podimac]

@mickeysbasics lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololol that was hilarious!!!

[DSuper3]

@mickeysbasics Wow......do you really believe that HE doesn't know who he is? I'll give you a hint..........He is NOT a Liberal.

Maybe you should put your coloring book and crayons away and read a book before you post a comment.

[colddrake80]

@podimac He is something of a robot. Just checking off items on a list. Someone who thinks if he moves and gestures like a comedian he'll get laughs. You can tell with his superficial commentary and tone deaf delivery that he just doesn't get it.

[iceviper6215]

I love Klavans view on our society. Refreshing.

[Videogamerpwnage]

LOL Read Obamas speech

[Dragdamar]

At least someone made Restrepo.

[76Aisling]

This guy is great...lol

[longbeachboy57]

We have Klavan. The liberals have Maher...

[colddrake80]

@longbeachboy57 You got hosed on that deal.

[greghannibal]

huh, his description of what I did on Oscar night was spot on. except I don't watch NCIS

[wolfs9397]

Yeah... Atlas Shrugged and NCIS or Firefly are basically the only truly good cinematic masterpieces since Patton or something.

[JonasPlanck]

He forgot the epic masterpeice about the poor, defenseless multibillionaire industrialist who bravely defends small portions of his collosal revenue stream from the evil hordes of dirt poor migrant farm workers who threaten his propaganda network by buying out the media to prevent them from showing any sympathy towards anyone but himself and his business interests... But when he's caught red-handed in his shady dealings, he's tragically given a stern talking to and a 100 billion dollar bonus...

[gastof179]

I don't watch the Oscars.

[thepokkanome]

Santoro would make an AMAZING movie

[SkyRaZzor]

LOL read the speach

[usrevolution2]

IS IT TIME?! Go to USRevolution2 (dot com) and get your flag of the Second American Revolution. They look exactly like the flag of Betsy Ross, but with a Roman numeral “II” in the center of the 13 stars. They are made in America (Texas) and are now seen on FoxNews nearly every day. Our flag also appeared recently in episode 7 of this season “Weeds” on Showtime. This flag is now in all 50 states and spreading from porch to porch. They make great gifts for family, friends and recovering Liberals.

[underpantssquirrel]

Andrew Klaven is just pissed because none of the movies based on his books or writings were any good. True Crime, Don't Say a Word, One Missed Call, are all examples of Klaven's movies that nobody seemed to like. In fact, True Crime bombed at the box office, and One Missed Call was rated the worst movie of 2008.

[colddrake80]

@underpantssquirrel What Andrew Klaven engaged in pissy, sour grapes? Surely you jest! He's a pillar of the right and, no, wait that would make perfect sense.

[DaBigEgg]

This guys an idiot, what does he mean cinematic art has decline since the 30s? He didn't have a clue what he's talking about

[trino26]

@DaBigEgg - i tend to disagree - this guy is a genius. You on the other hand obviously didn't understand a thing he is saying. You can't even spell or punctuate correctly. Who's the idiot here?

[henrycate]

@DaBigEgg Movies have gone downhill since the 30's. If you need someone to explain that to you, you are brain-dead.

[colddrake80]

@henrycate In what way have they gone down hill? It's a gross simplification from Klaven who is either pandering or can't mentally process what has happened over the past 73 years.

[DanEcho67]

In a better world, filmmakers would be falling all over themselves to tell Santoro's story. In a better world, newspapers would put it a little closer to the front.

But the media can't wait to tell us how great Che Guevera was...

I am sad to have to live in this time, when evil is worshipped and good is vilified.

[Adamguy2003]

Santoro would make a great movie!

Though, the Left would undoubtedly have everyone involved with the making of that film accused of racism. After all, according to the Left, only Christians engage in violent acts.

[Aegius]

You could add the movie about the religious organizations smuggling people out of North Korea into freedom in South Korea. They had to get past the Chinese military. They made terrible sacrifices and often starved. Yes it was an arduous journey. Oh, that movie was never made. No. We can't have Kim Jong-Il as a bad guy. He isn't Republican or Caucasian.

[ironbuttermilk]

I want to own 'Santoro' on DVD!!!

[insanity401]

someone should make those films even if they are low budget they should just make them. especially the one about Santoro.

[malsmaps]

Nice look at the Oscars! We quit paying attention to the msm version a long time ago.

[haypenny]

Yeah - but they made the fascists 'right wing' - their perception of right wing that is. Even though it closely mirrored Nazism and Communism - both socialist tyrannies.

[truevoiceofsanity]

lol, Well, most war movies are not exactly "pro-democrat though.

[5bzmom]

vin diesel as andrew breitbart...priceless. :-D

[vercygentix]

i did like hurt locker, not because if its fictionalized account of 'real' war, i liked it because the guy went back to iraq to do his duty, even though it was uncalled for. Thats patriotism.

[haypenny]

@ vercygentix: My Father did the same thing. He volunteered to go to Iraq with his cadets at the age of 59. He'd already fought in Vietnam and the Gulf War.

[vercygentix]

@haypenny i salute his bravery and willingness to serve his country.

[haypenny]

Thank You honey.

[scariaez2]

i like NCIS.

[Propheticmafia777]

I wish that they would make all these movies......

[justcool007]

"the surge" is a movie

[Yesica1993]

Well said!

[computerpurple]

testing 123 having trouble posting

[computerpurple]

I did not watch the osc-WHORES id rather be waterboarded than watch that SHIT.

[downriggershop]

Excellent! what gets me is, why are the studios funding these anti-American turkeys? I can understand liberal Hollywood producers putting their politics before box office, but why aren't shareholders complaining about the flops?

[IntellectualAddict]

I also missed the film condemning the actions of the Weather Underground for their destruction and plans for mass genocide of the American public. Obama's friend William Ayers deftly played by Matt Damon, along with a fictional scene of their meeting when little Barry Seotoro was a mere boy of 8 years. It had the eerie realisim of "Helter Skelter."

[SestrenNK]

Those Klavan award statues had me cracking up. Had to read that teleprompter bit.

Bonus: Turn on the closed captions, some of its misinterpretations are pretty hilarious "isn't the real oscars weakens people that would you stop a repeat bladder" LOL

[GammaSigmaBeta]

Great video, btw, as usual!

Thanks!

[GammaSigmaBeta]

Indeed. Unimaginable billions spent upon producing countless anti-American, propaganda spouting, Leftist drivel, demonizing the culture and country which gave them the wealth and opportunity to do what they are doing, and to live the life of useless idleness they now embrace. They believe that their celebrity magically bestows upon them, insight into politics, science, and international culture. Hollywood--STFU, no one cares what you think.

[ianmaphet]

So true. So many good stories of courage and sacrifice out there that Hollywood refuses to pay attention to, instead inundating us with crappy, overused plots like in Avatar.

[RebelStangII]

Keep up the good work!

DEO VINDICE!

[gsx1138]

I love NCIS.

[dinex2]

Damn you are stupid. I have never cried to anyone about Bush. Commie? wow what a lame insult.

Comparing the whining of someone because movies that noone wants to see aren't being made with the holocaust. Such lack of historical context is insulting to every jew that went through the holocaust but I don't expect you to understand that.

[AreThereNoMoreNames]

Maybe you ought to stop crying about a video that nobody made you watch at all.

[Bassmarko]

No meeting needed. A simple FYI he's a neocon to the hiring manager and he or she is out. What a shame it has to be that way.

[mego73]

I'd go see those movies :)

[BuckFarack]

Mr Klavan, I beg of you, Please, Get together with other Conservatives in the entertainment industry, Pull your resources & create a Conservative Entertainment Company & make movies & shows that Americans are starving to see & not the progressive propaganda that is being forced down our throats.

[JonOccamBluecollar]

@BuckFarack Wasn't the last real conservative based movie like "Red Dawn" or maybe Under Siege?

Seriously, there's alot of bias, but i've noticed in my short years that the movies in the 80's and early 90's are of a much different strain then of today's politically correct nature.

[Adamguy2003]

I can think of a few movies which have conservative leans to them:

Demolition Man (Shows the kind of "Utopian" dictatorship the left would seek to turn America into)

Team America: World Police

Batman Begins (Can be seen as an indictment of the effects of liberalism on our justice system, as liberal mercy enables crime to thrive)

300 (Theme that evil and tyranny should be actively combated is definitely a conservative sentiment, hence why liberals hated this movie).

[Adamguy2003]

Oh, and to add to the list I just posted:

Iron Man (The corporate CEO/ weapons manufacturer is a hero, and Muslim terrorists are villains! Hardly things you'd find in a liberal film)

[ThorkilKowalski]

@BuckFarack

Well. That is what Glenn Beck is starting now. Google gbtv.

[calvarybert]

@BuckFarack OMG YES!! That would be amazing! Klavan definitely should make some conservative movies!

[VegasBilgeRat]

vin diesel as breitbart ROFL

[yonvunega2000]

Holly-weird! The name tells the story.

Actors/Actresses need a script to play the hero/heroine or villain, with no script they're clueless. Just try making sense out of their ramblings about how the Dictators of the world are so much more enlightened than a free people.

[Bassmarko]

Its mostly propaganda in Hollywood. If you are conservative you have to keep it a secret to keep your job. These are not smart people and are very easily brainwashed. This is why Tom Hanks just did a hit piece on America. He is convinced we are basing all our wars on racism. What ever.....

[theallmightychad]

"Tom Hanks just did a hit piece on America. He is convinced we are basing all our wars on racism"

When did he do that? If that's true, then I just lost a ton of respect for him.

[VegasBilgeRat]

Oh yes, Tom hanks dropped quite a few notches to me as well. He said basically our war with Japan was because we wanted to annihilate each other because, we're different....

I think he forgot about Pearl Harbor...I think he also forgot that we showered Japan with leaflets warning of incoming destruction before we nuked them.

I think he forgot that we nuked only a couple cities, not the whole country-which is what we would have done if our goal was erradication.

[KafirAlalazoo]

@VegasBilgeRat - while I agree with your sentiments, I feel it's important to represent history accurately.

In point of fact, we only had two atom bombs, plus the one detonated during the Trinity test at Alalmagordo.

It would have been several months before we could refine enough fissionable material to produce another bomb, and we were bluffing when we said we would continue atom-bombing cities until Japan surrendered.

@Mr. Klavan - He might be expensive, but Whittle is worth the money. :)

[mssnrykd]

@KafirAlalazoo

"In point of fact, we only had two atom bombs, plus the one detonated during the Trinity test at Alalmagordo."

According to Bill Whittle's video on this we actually had four, the last one we were planning to use tacticly in the actual invasion.

its titled

"Warmongers or Peacemakers: Who Will Be Responsible for Scorching the Earth? "

[JonOccamBluecollar]

@VegasBilgeRat For the thousandth time. As morbidly ironic this may sound, we bomb naga and hiroshima as a LAST result before a mainland invasion, Operation Downfall. The land invasion that we had scheduled and were rehersing for would of cost many MANY more Japanese lives, estimates of 10 million depending on civilian resistance, and up to 1 million American lives. Does everyone forget WHY we bombed them? Liberals paint it as "we just wanted to see what we could do", yeah thats it.

[VegasBilgeRat]

You're preaching to the choir, whats your point? Your tone makes it seem like I disagree with you...

[vylet271]

@VegasBilgeRat I'm not sticking up for Hanks, although I enjoy his movies. But the US had been bombing the crap out of every major city in Japan for a while before the nukes dropped. In fact, one night alone, US firebobmbs killed 100,000 civilians in Tokyo. Robert McNimara ponderd why we even needed the nukes when Lemay (Commander of US air forces) was already burning up Japan. The nukes were just the cherries on top of a sundae of death and destruction in Japan. Interesting to know.

[vylet271]

[ScarletArchon]

@VegasBilgeRat

He also forgot our oil embargo of Japan BEFORE Pearl Harbor. Why do you think they attacked anyway? They needed to control their own shipping.

[KellAnderson]

@VegasBilgeRat If we had really wanted to kill all the Japanese people during WWII, we would have invaded the country and watched them all commit suicide or mindlessly rush our troops with wooden "guns" and "swords", straight into machine gun nests. Nuking Japan actually saved lives in the long run by shocking the Japanese into surrender, and thank God. As a fan of Anime and Manga, I wouldn't want a world without Japan.

[usgop]

The Oscars is just another opportunity for the "stars" to get together and pat themselves on the back..I never watch.

[GlengarryGlennBeck]

41 million people really need help.

[dijhili]

Where did you come up with that number ?

[GlengarryGlennBeck]

That's how many people watched the Oscarzzzzzz

[dijhili]

They do need help !

[Yesica1993]

Brilliantly done.

And oh, so sadly true.

[XRayden]

Another Klavan fix! Great one!

[DangerFamily]

Man he is good!

[CortesZ666]

PJTV rocks! I love all these folks, Great job Andrew!

[Wiytithst]

I try and keep up with the news daily, and I've never even heard of Andrea Santoro before Klavan brought it up. Gee, thanks Mainstream Media!

[Yesica1993]

@Wiytithst

I had not either!

[KafirAlalazoo]

@Wiytithst - if one were to believe the MSM, the Tea Parties consisted of 30-40 pissed off racist, Christian, gun owners, who are on the payroll of the GOP and corporate interests.

But how about that "coffee party"!!

Talk about a "grassroots" "movement" fostered by "millions" of "unaffiliated" "patriots" who are "thinking out of the box"!!

[tubaboy71]

/watch?v=WgRGxuVP0_I

[herbs814]

@KafirAlalazoo

Which is exactly why no one (besides brainwashed left-wing fools) believes the lame-stream media.

[doubleas2380]

Awesome episode :)

[Nexus974]

I'm going back to my NCIS rerun....

[emmthreejonny]

I actually enjoyed the latest Oscar. Hurt Locker won, Steve Martin, Ben Stiller in an Avatar costume.

[prafty]

what a bitter, bitter man..

[Zarcona]

@prafty:

Perhaps what you meant to say was, "What an intelligent, insightful and funny, funny man."

[prafty]

@Zarcona

conservatives should stop putting words in my mouth

[ZombieX13]

mmeeeeeeeehhh

[b07rivera]

I haven't seen Aviator yet, but it was due to the real bad script and the same concept being using in District 9 and other "Humans are bad" films. However, i do get the part that there is such a thing as American Imperialism and the "Hurt Locker" is another great movie telling the audiences, was it worth it sending thousands of troops to their ultimate deaths regardless if it was either: Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr. or even Obama for that matter.

I am truly sick of the LIbs and the Neocons.

[mssnrykd]

@b07rivera

"there is such a thing as American Imperialism"

Its been said before, but it deserves saying again, if America is Imperialistic, Why have we not taken over Canada?

And, if you think we have in a socio-economic fashion, Why are we imitating their medical system.

[dinex2]

So much whining. If people want to pay to see these movies then make them yourselves. Don't blame hollywood for not making movies of your fantasies.

[Yesica1993]

@dinex2

That's part of the problem - in the eyes of people like you, the truth is a "fantasy" and fantasies are the truth.

[dinex2]

What a stupid accusation based on nothing. You don't know where I stand on anything.

[Yesica1993]

The fact that you could watch this video which gives several truthful examples of real-life events that weren't made into films (and likely never will be) and call it "fantasy" speaks volumes.

[dinex2]

The "events" in this video were presented very subjective to the point i would call them the fantasy of the author. But it doesn't matter. The point I made is that this video is just whining. Nobody wants to watch a movie about executive decisions behind the fucking surge. Stop crying about it.

[Yesica1993]

Which of the points he mentioned were fantasy?

The only one whining and crying is you, because you know this video has a point.

[badluck1986]

Its sad to see such cynicism against the USA's No. 1 cultural export. But sattire is sattire and I love it all the same, even if I don't believe in the context.

[mssnrykd]

@badluck1986

It's sad that Hollywood is our #1 cultural export.

[LordAtrocities]

I hate to say it, no wait, no I don't hate to say it, Joe McCarthy was right.  Hollywood was filled, is filled, with left wing social communists. People like Sean Penn are the norm there. To hell with them. I'd love to see them all purged ala Stalin style.

[sensfaninohio]

@ LordAtrocities -- Hollyweird is not the only land of fruits and nuts. Washington Dork Central is just brimming with the same left wing social communists. The trouble is, people can't see past the traditional labels of "Democrat" and "Republican" to figure out that the overwhelming majority of them are all Commie rats taking this once-great ship down faster than the RMS Titanic.

[Yesica1993]

Ain't it? If these fools hate our country so much and think it's the source of all evil, why don't they leave? They, unlike most regular people, have the resources and ability to live anywhere they want.

But they stay here because they make money. They sicken me. I wish we could deport them somewhere.

[LordAtrocities]

@Yesica1993

They stay here because they know that no other country in the world would put up with their treason like America does. They stay here, spouting off about how evil America is because they know that real Americans who believe in something greater than themselves will lay down their lives to support those Hollywood Nancy boys freedom of speech. They stay here because they are, as sad as it is, American's too. They stay here because they know anywhere else they'd be put to death.

[Yesica1993]

@LordAtrocities

Amen to that! I couldn't have said it better.

[haypenny]

Well, let's hope Sean Penn finally gets fed up and moves in with Hugo Chavez for good.

[UTubekookdetector]

YES: The mere sight of George Clooney makes me vomit in my mouth. He's a UN stooge, he should move to Gabon with Kofi and they can have free health care, free food and free everything.

[Yesica1993]

@UTubekookdetector I'll happily help them all pack their bags.

[antimarxism]

This should be an ongoing series. Great video!

[CTYankeeinTexas]

Loved the Obama speech you threw in there.

[badluck1986]

@CTYankeeinTexas yet but it STILL went for too long

[anmpir]

Dumb self-absorbed American crap.

[treningsformer]

Boring!!

[thecyberpunk]

Too bad he didn't mention that "The Hurt Locker" beat out "Avatar". That was a great moment at the Oscars, not only because it was a great film, but because Cameron's magnum opus of

3D pro-Gore anti-US Military crap lost to his ex-wife.

[WrexsouI]

@thecyberpunk Heck yes! I thought The Hurt Locker got banned from the oscars though.

[bugg255]

Do straight men watch the oscabs??

[1androo2]

@bugg255 if they have wives, then yes. hahah

[ThePenWolf]

So, how much did Bill Whittle want?

[0BornofDesire0]

at least we had An American Carol, but thats about it

[1manwalkingfreakshow]

Solid gold as always, Andrew.

As for the three movies... they haven't been made... yet.

Anybody got a studio, camera, actors and some cash?

Also, how about The Hurt Locker and The Blind Side?

[Jerricho68]

Normalizing child molestation? What is Roman Polanski up to these days? No word on his extradition? Media blackout of his non-extradition check.

[MrThatIrishguy]

"To Save A Life" was a conservative movie. And one of my favorites.

Klavan's right though. Hollywood sucks.

[lovellespice]

the blind side is a good movie.. too bad it's already being shot down by the PC-MC crowd.. apparently you can't help disadvantaged teenagers of a different race if you're white, christian, republican -- that would be racist!!! nyenyenyenyenye

[chattingcat]

Bravo! An Oscar for Andrew!!  GREAT video.

[haypenny]

Give it a decade, and all of those movies will be made. By Andrew Klavan. Sean Penn will have rectal cancer by then, and Barbara Streisand will be doing commercials for Depends.

[ThePenWolf]

@haypenny Sean Penn would probably enjoy rectal cancer.

[haypenny]

@ ThePenWolf: Yeah, but he's sure to spot it in its earliest stages because he's always digging around back there and smelling his fingers. That's why he's always got that shitty look on his face.

[ThePenWolf]

@haypenny That presumes he had the sense to know something amiss. Maybe it's a good presumption, but the guy doesn't come off that bright to me. I don't know.

[meandale]

I think Andrew makes a really good looking Oscar dohickey!

[Eterna1Soldier]

lol. Read the transcript at 1:26. Yep, that's Obama alright.

[ricadrew]

@Eterna1Soldier

You're right. Pretty good observation, I didn't notice what it said till I saw your comment.

Somehow I think that itself should be made into a video.

[CTYankeeinTexas]

The should expand upon that script and have President ZoBama read it. Like Bo Snerdley, he's cerified black enough to criticize Barack Obama.

[yahazif]

All three of those would be great movies. It's really ashame all we get are leftist formula movies.

[fatalrob0t]

aw gawd, yeah...Especially Santoro. I'd love to see that if it were real.

[msb0000]

Excellent 10 *!

[TeenParodyInc]

I would go see those movies.

[DonTruman]

Sounds like some great flicks there. Looking forward to it (holding my breath, I know...).

BTW, I hear Bollywood (India's movie-making business) is taking on Islamo-murderers and what propels them. Available on NetFlicks now.

[PadraikKasier]

lol, good vid Andrew.

[EffieReal]

Perfect sense of humor mixed with reality.
