Allahpundit may be losing his touch, as he cannot come up with a metaphor for this:
The helicopter represents the Ruling Class, leaving the man with the Sword of the Constitution and the hot chick on the ground to represent the Tea Party. The vehicle is the November elecion, the last chance to do anything about the Ruling Class, before the Tea Party is vaquished. The helo gets taken out, but a red-garbed RINO wants to take the hot chick and deny the Tea Party the fruits of good conservative hotness, in a spirit of pure Cornyn-ism.
The Tea Party throws the Sword of the Constitution at the red coated RINO (for the words of the Constitution are written on his heart; the blade can be replaced, the chick, not so much) cleaving the RINO’s arm asunder, leaving him to fall into the Chasm of Progressivism.
Remember, Allahpundit: The Other McCain has always got your back.

How do you guys feel about David Malpass and Ron Johnson for Senate in Wisconsin and New York?
I like the idea…especially after Daniel Loeb made an opening for Malpass with his letter condeming Obama. That’s pretty damming coming from a formal supporter of Obama.

[…] It should not be forgotten that many establishment republicans were talking “repair” rather than “repeal” obamacare. The establishment Republicans are a lot more interested in driving the chuck wagon the stopping the gravy train. It’s only the tea party that keeps them honest. Smitty has a metaphor for this here.

No, no, no, this is a metaphor for the evils of Fox News being battled by the forces of progressivism. You have it completely backwards.
I actually read Chomsky for fun. How sick is that?

Its actually Tollywood(located in the southern city of Hyderabad), not the more popular Bollywood which makes Hindi language movies(located at Bombay/Mumbai).
The language of the movie is Telugu, which happens to be one of the languages i speak (also spoken by about 100 million people in southern India).
The video posted is from the movie Magadheera, a big box office hit. The plot is hilarious though:

KingShamus here is a typical example of the Ignorant American.
Indian cinema is NOT equal to Bollywood.
Granted Bollywood is the biggest, but Kollywood and Tollywood are not far behind as to the production values and reach.
As such, Kollywood [based in Madras/Chennai; language Tamil] is the best of the lot as to the creativity and originality in mainstream film making in Indian cinema. The Indian musician, A. R> Rehman, who won two Oscars recently for the film Slumdog Millionaire is from the Tamil film industry, who also does music for Bollywood.

Hey, Waylay– I’m an American, but I’ve lived in India and write about India professionally– And I know the difference between all of Bollywood/Kollywood/Tollywood etc.
But I think for the purposes of discussing film styles, it is perfectly okay to lump the three together for the most part. In fact, as you well know, they regularly rip off each other’s hit movies.
And frankly, while I enjoyed watching Dhoom 2 and Mughal-e-Azzam, etc., and I know who the heck Rajinikanth is, I don’t think Indian cinema, taken as a whole, holds a candle to Hollywood.
So before smacking around Americans on an American blog for the crime of using “Bollywood” to describe Indian Cinema, why don’t you grab a nice hot steaming cup of STFU 🙂

The metaphor sounds great… a small quibble though:
Are you saying Cornyn-ism is extremely moderate?
After the helicopter blows up, the red-garbed RINO grabs the hot chick (who pleads him to leave her) and says “naaku dakkanidi yevvariki dakkanivannu… raa!”. Translation: “If i can’t get it (the hot chick), i won’t let anyone have it… come!” And proceeds to jump of the cliff with her (rather than say attempt to escape or save himselves). The hero with the sword of the constitution then, saves the girl and kills the RINO with one strike.
I don’t think the RINO’s are “courageous” in that sense. See Lisa Murkowski conceded and didn’t endorse the Dem candidate (or will she?); Charlie Christ is in to win and not just to deny the Tea Party backed GOP candidate a seat. I suppose its the Tea Partiers who show such suicidal commitment to their cause (see NY 23).

Of course not! Hollywood is the BEST! European cinema sucks. (Broadly speaking)
95% of mainstream Indian cinema is a rip-off of Hollywood and now increasingly of Korean, Hong Kong and other East Asian and South East Asian films.
I am NOT proud of mainstream Indian cinema. The golden age of Indian cinema was in teh 60s and 70s, long gone.
But come on, Kollywood and (to a lesser extent) Tollywood are way more “original” and “creative” than Bollywood, which for most part is real junk, disgusting waste of celluloid (wit connections to the Mumbai and Dubai underworld dirty money). Given the production budgets of big Indian films being a minute fraction of your average Hollywood film, i must say Indian cinema are way well made as to the production quality (not the script quality and other creative aspects).
The point is this. Your average Ignorant American thinks most Indians speak “Hindu”/Hindi; that Indians wear turbans; that cows roam on streets in Indian cities; that Bollywood is to India what Hollywood is to America etc. Very few know that India is very diverse culturally and linguistically; kinda like Europe being one country.

[…] Read it. And watch the video. […]
Personally, i like Korean films in world cinema. One of my favorite movies is The Seventh Seal, which is Swedish, but then it was made in the late 50s by the brilliant Ingmar Bergman. Speaking of which, how i love Ingrid Bergman! She was simply mesmerizing in the Hitchcock’s Notorious and Spellbound (yeah, and Casablanca).
Anyway, as I watch Tollywood video posted by Smitty above, it is interesting to note that three different languages are spoken in just 90 seconds(the clip duration)!
The “red-garbed RINO” villain speaks Hindi “Mardo sale ko” (“kill the sonofabi***), the Pilot of the helicopter speaks English (“I will take him down!”), The vehicle driver speaks Telugu.
That’s diversity for you my friends! I find it hard to believe that some conservatives go to sleep every night fearing that next morning they will wake up to fact of Spanish becoming an official language in the US.

Wow. I didn’t know about this linguistic aspect of Ingrid Bergman:

It’s about talking with your mouth full. And also what’s coming out of it. Didn’t you ever get told it was bad manners?
Here’s what you do…when you stick your head up your dogs ass next time, keep your mouth closed! Then, just maybe, It won’t get filled up with so much s**t.
