Everything Freeper....

Freepers in the Movies


Forget about right-wing actors such as Tom Selleck, Bruce Willis, and Charleton Heston, the general population of Freepers have contributed much to the cinema arts.

Remember the zombies in Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and all the sequels since? Freepers.

How about the klan members in Mississippi Burning? Yep, Freepers.

Here are a few other examples of Freepers in the movies:

Titanic: Freepers played the role of the men who got into the lifeboats and a few lucky Freepers played the security personnel tasked with keeping the poor third-class passengers locked below decks.

Philidelphia: Remember the law firm that fired Tom Hanks because they found out he was gay and had aids? Freepers!

Birth of a Nation: Just about everyone in this movie was a Freeper.

But probably the two movies most associated with Freepers are Ghost and Deliverance. In both these movies, Freepers were cast in roles that required little "acting". In Ghost, Freepers fell easily into the role of the dark spirits who whisked bad souls to hell. And in Deliverance? I'm pretty sure you know what role they played...

Join me tomorrow when I expose Freepers in literature!

1. To add to your list:

Star Wars: Imperial Storm Troopers

Gone With The Wind: Every white person

Lord of the Rings: Sauron and his hordes

The Graduate: Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, Elaine's jilted Groom

Babe: Rex the Dog

Charlotte's Web: Templeton the Rat

Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle: The EXTREME dudes

Schindler's List: The Nazis

Like Water for Chocolate: The Mother

[lunarboy13]

3. LOL

And the list keeps growing and growing...I wonder if Freepers belong to the actors union?

[Zynx]

2. Orcs in Lord of the Rings: Freepers

;-)

[displacedtexan]

4. I've been saying something like this for years!

Heroes (in film and literature) always demonstrate Democratic ideals, and the villains always demonstrate Republican ideals:

It's A Wonderful Life:
George Bailey (Dem) v Old Man Potter (GOP)

The Scarlet Letter:
Hester Prynne (Dem) v The Church/Townspeople (GOP)

Our heroes have always been Democrats!

[lunarboy13]

5. Exactly!

That's the point of this little exercise...

:headbang:

[Downtown Hound]

6. Here's some for you...

The Time Machine:
Morlocks=Freepers, Eloi=Downtrodden liberals until they fight back and kick some ass

The Lost World:
InGen Mercenaries=Freepers, Ian Malcolm's team=libs

Animal House
Omega Fraternity= Freepers, Animal House=libs

Starship Troopers:
Pretty much both the humans and the bugs in this movie are freepers

Psycho:
Norman Bates is the quintessential, archetypal freeper. Complex parental and sexual issues resulting in mass murder. Same is true with Leatherface.

[lunarboy13]

7. I like that...

Norman Bates and Leatherface...They belong in the Freeper Hall of Shame...

[carrowsboy]

8. Freeps sure are talented!

When I was a kid I loved the freepers who played the Sleestacks in Land of the Lost!

[Swamp Rat]

44. YES! Sleestacks is what they are... alien lizards.

Don't vote for Bush! He's an alien lizard!

[devilgrrl]

9. Ted Bundy - The Ultimate Freeper

"I'm a Republican" then smashes victims head with a rock.

A regular GOP poster boy.

[merh]

10. LOL - thanks for the post, I needed the chuckle

and I can't wait until tomorrow's list!

I love DU - the quick wits, the minds, the hearts, the hope!

:yourock:

On Edit: The Ompahs on Willie Wonka and that purple girl that was so greedy!

[kayell]

47. Not to mention Veruca Salt and her dad

[Blue Gardener]

11. Dementors in Harry Potter

They'll suck the soul right out of ya!

[NightTrain]

27. Don't forget Malfoy!

[peach720]

43. Yes the Slytherins do represent Freepers as to

the Dursley's. Fat,greedy,celebrating Dudley's ignorance and bullying ways,hypocritical and cruel.
The Slytherins are the extreme right wingers that gain control. Racist,power hungry, treading on the little people, represive, elitist,secretive and creep into every part of the Magical world.


Also... Drop Dead Gorgous - loads of Freepers, the Lutherian Gun club etc

[tandot]

33. "They'll suck the soul right out of ya!" This is hilarious...and so true

Thanks, Junebug 1920 ... :thumbsup:

[tandot]

12. Cartman in Southpark...the ultimate freeper... n/t

[lunarboy13]

25. Cartman is the...

Quintessential Republican Freeper....

[hinachan]

45. Re: Cartman in Southpark...the ultimate freeper... n/t

Oh, yeah...he's at his Freeper best when dressed like Hitler for Halloween and saying, "Sieg heil!" :evilgrin:

[NewHampshireDem]

13. Alpha Betas in Revenge of the Nerds?

Freepers ...
<edit>
oh yeah, and Neidermeyer from Animal House too.

[Minnesota_Lib]

14. And if I'm not mistaken, Al Pacino portrayed a Freeper in.....

The Devil's Advocate

[General Zod]

15. I'll have to go with my user name.....

General Zod from the Superman movies. John Ashcroft would have loved him. Kneel before Zod!

[Donkeyboy75]

16. Do you have a fantasy baseball team with the same name?

[General Zod]

18. Nope, I don't do the fantasy sports stuff.

[lunarboy13]

17. That's true...

And of course there's the Green Goblin in Spiderman....

Although I wouldn't count Dr. Octopus as a Freeper...there was a redemptive quality about him in the end...Certainly not a Freeper value.

I should post here the ultimate Freepers in movies:

GW, Cheney, Condi, Ashcroft, and the rest of the Bush Admin in the movie:


FAREINHEIT 9/11!!!!!!

[AntiCoup2K4]

39. Doc Oc was more coparable to the Democratic party establishment

....totally unaware that the machine that was supposed to make him stronger (the DLC) would instead takeover and destroy him.

[yankeedem]

19. Pulp Fiction

Maynard and Zed. Don't know about the Gimp.

[lunarboy13]

26. What about the guy

In the bondage suit?

[VOX]

20. The entire town of Hadleyville in "High Noon": Freeper!

Not a damned soul would help Marshal Will Kane (Gary Cooper) face down the evil guys who were a-comin' into town on the noon train. In fact, many of the townspeople were talking up the bad guys, and were getting ready to roll over for them.

In an unrelated note: "Ben-Hur" character Messala: Freeper!

[lunarboy13]

21. And one more...

The Mayor of Pleasantville....


That whole movie is really about Freepers becoming democrats. They are heavily conservative and only see things in black and white...While democrats know that many issues are more complex than that -- think of this the next time someone criticizes John Kerry for being nuanced.


on edit: spelling...

[Blue Gardener]

40. Never thought of it that way

But I think you hit the nail on the head.

[ComerPerro]

22. "The Man who shot Liberty Valance"

Now, I am not saying Liberty is a FReeper. He is more like your Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity. But Liberty's cronies are a bunch of FReepers.

Need I explain?

[tandot]

23. The Sheriff of Nottingham...n/t

[lunarboy13]

24. Which would make Robin Hood...

a Democrat!

[LiberalManiacfromOC]

28. Well, obviously

Freepers are always the evil ones

[NightTrain]

29. Still more

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE: The Droogs. And for that matter, the doctors who administer the Ludovico Treatment to Alex.

CROCODILE DUNDEE: The female lead's boyfriend.

FROM DUSK TO DAWN: The vampires.

THE GRIFTERS: The three lead characters (played by Anjelica Huston, John Cusack, and Annette Bening).

LAST EXIT TO BROOKLYN: Almost the entire cast! That film was chock full of scummy characters who were violent, selfish, mean-spirited, ignorant, and entirely beyond redemption.

RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD, PART 2. The title character, of course!

TIN MEN: The two lead characters (played by Danny DeVito and Richard Dreyfuss).

WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? Judge Doom.

[lunarboy13]

30. Ha!

Judge Doom!

Perfect!

:evilgrin:

[Chomskyite]

31. On the Sopranos

Christopher Moltisanti. In a recent episode he said to his fiance ""You don't listen to the president? We're gonna mop up the Middle East. The whole world's gonna be under our control. You got nothin' to worry about."

He's one of the most sociopathic characters on the show, by the way.

[tandot]

32. The homophobic father (Chris Cooper) in American Beauty

a violently homophobic closet-homosexual freeper

[bvar22]

34. The Matrix....

Guess!

[lunarboy13]

36. Oh My...

From the agents to the matrix itself...Good one!

[Hippo_Tron]

35. The lady who claimed that Lila Lipscomb's son didn't really die in Iraq

Go figure, a real live freeper in a movie.

[Brian Morans]

37. Let's not forget Frank Booth

[oasis]

38. Or John Wilkes Booth.

[Skittles]

41. that part human/fly/machine critter at the end of THE FLY

bears an uncanny resemblence to Tom DeLay.

[LTR]

42. D-FENS in 'Falling Down'

I'm shocked nobobdy else submitted this one.

[Citizen Daryl]

46. I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE ...

... I CAN SMELL YOUR BRAAAAAAAAAAAIIINS!

[tandot]

48. The Fairy Godmother in Shrek 2 (Prince Charming's mother) n/t

[lunarboy13]
