schestowitzDigging through their archives after being tipped off by a blog post, a Massachusetts newspaper has unearthed decades-old writings by Fox News editorial personality Bill O'Reilly that appears to reinforce what one online magazine called a professional "fixation" on the world of adult films.Aug 30 00:31
schestowitzAs it turns out, O'Reilly, who attended grad school at Boston University, contributed his own youthful wit and wisdom to the Boston Phoenix, and a Cambridge publication called Real Paper.Aug 30 00:31

FurnaceBoyjweyrich: obrigado pelo apagar esses palavras Aug 30 02:04
FurnaceBoyjweyrich: hehe lucky uAug 30 02:04
FurnaceBoytudo bem aqui obrigadoAug 30 02:04
jweyrichhahaha. that should have been prohibited long ago.Aug 30 02:04
jweyrichjust watched the baader meinhof movie. now I'm reading about.Aug 30 02:05
FurnaceBoyahAug 30 02:06
FurnaceBoyit may be worth it for the pr0n star moustaches, ehAug 30 02:06
FurnaceBoybut i'm deeply suspicious of history in filmsAug 30 02:06
jweyrichhahaAug 30 02:07
FurnaceBoyit's too easyAug 30 02:08
FurnaceBoy1) film-makers love period pieces, they're funAug 30 02:08
FurnaceBoy2) distortion is inherent in the processAug 30 02:09
FurnaceBoyhistory is more amenable to long, boring books with footnotesAug 30 02:09
FurnaceBoythen you have a fighting chanceAug 30 02:09
FurnaceBoyin fact the B.M. movie is no exception, i've heard it bitterly criticised as historyAug 30 02:10
FurnaceBoyalso it's very emotional territoryAug 30 02:10
FurnaceBoybut i suppose a lot of people just ignore the historical aspect and treat it as dramaAug 30 02:10
FurnaceBoyand the filmmakers know most of the audience doesn't even remember the eventsAug 30 02:10
FurnaceBoyso that in itself shapes the filmAug 30 02:10
FurnaceBoyfact blurs into fictionAug 30 02:11
FurnaceBoyof necessityAug 30 02:11
jweyrichI understand all these concerns. I don't really face a movie as a real picture of history. that's exactly what you described.Aug 30 02:11
FurnaceBoyyaAug 30 02:11
FurnaceBoyi know you do :)Aug 30 02:11
FurnaceBoyi didn't always think this wayAug 30 02:12
FurnaceBoywhen i was younger i used to enjoy 'historical' hollywoodAug 30 02:12
FurnaceBoybut then later i realised it's a lose-lose gameAug 30 02:12
jweyrichthat's the main reason for me being reading about it. but I'll probably forget everything by tomorrow morning. I need to train my fish's memory.Aug 30 02:12
FurnaceBoy:)Aug 30 02:13
jweyrichthanks for the young adjective haha.Aug 30 02:13
jweyrichFurnaceBoy: would be sad the other way around. if you didn't enjoy when young and now...Aug 30 02:14
