October Baby and the NY Times

I thought I'd share this brilliant movie "review" from the New York Times for October Baby.

Priceless, isn't it?

The movie opens today. Go see it.

Good grief. The "reviewer", Jeannette Catsoulis, didn't even bother with the pretense of a review.

This is par for the course for the New York Times. They don't try to conceal their utter contempt for the knuckle-dragging religious freaks that inhabit the less desirable portions of this country (i.e., non-Upper West Side Manhattan). It is interesting though that the "reviewer" felt the need to attack the movie almost solely based on its message, which seems to suggest that she was having a difficult time ridiculing it on its artistic merits. Perhaps that's a back-handed compliment.

The actor who plays the adopted father in the movie was recently asked on the Today show why he chose to be in this movie, and he said it was because two words in the script caught his eye that he had never seen together before: "abortion survivor." The interviewer brushed right over this and changed the subject immediately, of course, but it is encouraging that this movie is calling attention to the indisputably human victims of abortion. Many people don't know that abortion survivors exist, or that abortions can be legally performed up until 9th month of pregnancy in many states, including Maryland. The truth is more powerful than all the NY Times journalists put together, and it will come out no matter how hard they try to squelch it.
