Same here. I also was looking forward to watching Children of Dune unitl I saw a commerical for it last night. Susan Satanwrap stars in the damn thing, which means that it will not be seen in my house.

Each one of these stars :George Clooney, Matt Damon, Mike Farrell, Janeane Garofolo, Ethan Hawke, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Martin Sheen, and Uma Thurman.

They have each profited handsomely from violence. There depictions of violence have netted them each money and political influence.

When will they push for a non violent film category with in the various awards ceremonies?

No reels them in = No one reels them in.

I am proof positive that you can't proofread your own stuff. sigh...

I just shook my head as I listened to that schoolgirl. I thought about e-mailing Rush and giving my insight, but I knew he'd never read it. Besides...he steals all his stuff from Free Republic, anyway. :^)

Actually, Rush was talking about Hollyweird last week and he said that because Hollywood is based on "make believe" - that's where the majority of Hollyweird people live - in a make believe world. And ... it explains why they are not connected to reality.

>>What do you do if you can't Put Up?...

Why, if you're a Hollyweirdo, you put up again tomorrow and arrogantly believe those people that heard your brains get rattled today agree wholeheartedly with you like the mind numbed little communist robots you THINK they are.

Perhaps RonDog could arrange a FREEP PROTEST of this Screen Actors Guild event which will feature a speech by anti-war activist Mike Farrell (who of course has made fistfuls of $$$ by making a comedy out of the Korean War)? ------

Did anyone else notice that Martin Sheen, and the West Wing were BLANKED in the SAG Awards after sweeping the TV Catagory every season since the show began?

Ed Harris (another President Bush hater) also was a loser.

SAG members, though most are extremely liberal, were the sole voters of these awards.

Elitist Leftists don't do debates, they can't, they just don't have the ammunition.

Now, let's follow the logic of listening to an actor. We'll do a little linking here, so you lefties better stop reading this now, it will give you a headache.

These people think that they can control public opinion because they have thier faces in front of the public much of their lives. They think that they are so admired because of some singular "talent" for remembering lines and repeating them on queue with the appropriate facial expressions to go with them. Now think about that. That is all that they do. They deal purely in absolute emotion, with no attached logic. They are used to this, it's become a way of life for them. The live in little private communities of their own kind (other actors) away from everyday living and everyday problems with loads of money to insulate them from the "little people". Very few have degrees in science, economics, political science, and certainly none have the life experiences of a Texas rancher, or a Minnesota farmer. None have ever been exposed to the day to day perils of your average constuction worker. They perform in films, they don't make them, they really don't make a thing. They distract us from our daily burden of raising a family, providing food and shelter for our kids, worrying about next month's mortgage payment. They provide a mere distraction, that's all. Some of their performances may be memorable but most are forgotten quickly. Now, here comes the link, watch for it. Would you rather believe these "play actors" that don't have the attention span of a three year old, or would you trust Dr. Condi Rice, General Colon Powell, Vice President Richard Cheney, & President George W Bush. These people earned their titles because they have the credentials, years of experience and the education to be where they are.

The good actors realize this and keep their views out of the public eye (even if they are conservative). Most good actors realize their limited scope and respect the jobs and responsibilities of the "common folk". Robert Mitchum was "discovered" on a casting call. He was a construction worker. After his rise to stardom someone asked him what he thought of being a "movie star", his reply was priceless. "I didn't even graduate from high school", he said, "Hell, I was working construction and getting $42.50 a week busting my ass. Nobody is going to tell me this ain't the greatest job in the world, cause I know it, and I get down on my knees and thank God everyday that I am lucky enough to do it"! Now that's a man that knew his limitations. This new "breed" in Hollywierd actually think that they are PhDs' in something just because they played one in a movie. Wrong again boys and girls...you're actors, just actors, nothing more than my Saturday afternoon distraction.

By the way, Ronaldus Maximus was this kind of Mitchum "actor". Go figure!
