Sean Penn warns Barack Obama at Cannes Film Festival opening

The Daily Telegraph (UK) ^ | May 14, 2008 | Anita Singh

Interesting that Natalie Portman is so noncommittal. I thought she was firmly in the Hillary camp. Another sign perhaps that Hillary is a goner.

[Corin Stormhands]

Indeed, history has been kind to you.

[capydick]

Portman, 26, said she would not be endorsing Obama or his rival, Hillary Clinton,

Notice how any consideration of Senator McCain is not even mentioned as a possibility?

[Kozak]

Who cares what comes out of the Meat Puppets pie hole?

[Kozak]

She's excited about something....

[Caipirabob]

”I don't have a candidate I'm supporting and I'm certainly interested and excited by the hope that Barack Obama is inspiring,” he said, but went on to accuse him of a “phenomenally inhuman and unconstitutional” voting record.

"Sean Penn doesn't care about black people!"

[Right Cal Gal]

Yeah, and I predict her movie will die a huge death at the box office when everyone goes to see the Panda and Indiana Jones instead.

Then Natalie can blame the poor turnout on the Bush economy.

[dead]

I hope that he will understand, if he is the nominee, the degree of disillusionment that will happen if he doesn't become a greater man than he will ever be…

He’s so insanely effing smart, normal people can’t even
wrap their brains around his ideas!

The Hollywood types contradict each other in their denial to endorse either Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dum:

”I don't have a candidate I'm supporting and I'm certainly interested and excited by the hope that Barack Obama is inspiring,” he said, but went on to accuse him of a “phenomenally inhuman and unconstitutional” voting record.

”I hope that he will understand, if he is the nominee, the degree of disillusionment that will happen if he doesn't become a greater man than he will ever be,” Penn said. “This is the most important election, certainly in my lifetime, and maybe ever.”

Portman, 26, said she would not be endorsing Obama or his rival, Hillary Clinton, but added: “I think it's a very exciting year for our politics, that for the first time in a while we have a choice of who we like better instead of who we hate least.”

Not really, Natalie. And does her statement apply to BOTH parties since there really wasn't a battle for the party nomination at this stage of the campaign in a long time?

[weegee]

Penn said it was impossible to separate film from politics

What was the profound political truth learned from DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR?

Or even FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH?

[weegee]

Asked if he was enjoying it so far, he complained that he had been “discouraged from smoking” – France's smoking ban was introduced last year – before lighting up and chain-smoking his way through the press conference.

Sean Penn should consider making a film about the global campaign of the smoking nazis.

[PerConPat]

I hope that he will understand, if he is the nominee, the degree of disillusionment that will happen if he doesn't become a greater man than he will ever be,” Penn said.

Fantastic....Another non sequitur from the nonentity, Penn...

[weegee]

Obama is sure to fail. He cannot live up to the godhead myth that the media has used to portray him.

What will the public do when they realize that this amateur activist doesn't have the ability to walk the walk? What happens when his supporters see what his detractors already know, that the Emperor wears no clothes?

It is easy to silence the critics now with charges of racism; what happens when your supporters also are critical?

[Doohickey]

Hillary! sure looks excited.

Ick.

I really hate to find stuff in my zeitgeist.

He'd probably be hung.

[Who dat?]

Away from the main competition, comic actor Jack Black launched his latest movie, DreamWorks animation Kung Fu Panda, by performing martial arts moves on the beach in the company of 40 extras in panda suits. Black, who lends his voice to the film along with the likes of Angelina Jolie and Lucy Liu, explained that he was there to create “panda-monium”.

"Panda-monium." Yow.

In the 40's and 50's you had to be a real writer or producer or director or actor to mess with movies. Now you can be Jack Black or Kevin Smith or Jason Mewes.

Jeez. What was the last one - something about "the pick of destiny?" The "Rock Off Challenge" was OK and they did have a cameo with Meatloaf. Otherwise it SUCKED.

Nacho Libre... puke.

I wouldn't call myself an actor or musician if I turned out crap like that... or if I toured around with Kyle Gass. But maybe that's just me.

Actually it HAS to be just me because I'd swear that dope from "Big Daddy" and "Water Boy" would get kicked to the curb but he keeps getting paid big money.

The task of figuring out what Penn is saying is complicated by the fact that his brain is so scrambled that he can’t speak in coherent sentences - one needs a translator. I don’t think he’s had a coherent thought in decades. Your humble servant :)

These guys are actors, they don’t know any more than the average person, why is anyone asking them?
