Yes, that is true also, what a yawner

[AndrewC]

btw, did you see where Zeffirelli originally wanted Dustin Hoffman cast as Jesus? Yeesh!

It might have been more accurate.

Isa 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him.

"Sarandon? That (expletive deleted)! I used to work for her! She treated me like a dog!" Said Gay Bobby Mays. Sarandon's personal makup artist for many years. "It took me two hours to make that hog look good on camera! She even made me shave her arm pits! But the worse part was filling in all the cracks! And underneath those eyes! Gads! But I did make her look pretty good! How? Spakfast spackling compound! So when you are trying to make an empty-headed hag look good use Spakfast!"

In related news Mr. Mays was recently hired by the Hillary 2004 campaign.

Well, to be honest, given the choice between watching Susie "growing" as a character while checking for lumps, or Helen of Troy walking nekkid through an orgy scene...

I am confused. Is Susan giving us the peace sign or indicating the number of viewers?

All two of 'em! :)

SARANDON MOVIE ON CBS FINISHES LAST PLACE IN OVERNIGHTS

Outspoken anti-war activist Susan Sarandon hit severe ratings turbulence on CBS Sunday night with her original telefilm ICE BOUND -- landing last in overnight ratings and losing nearly 40% of audience levels from the previous Sunday on CBS.

ICE pulled a frosty 5.5 rating/9 share in NIELSEN's 55 overnight markets.

But it was in New York City where Sarandon hit complete bottom.

At 9 PM in Gotham, Sarandon trailed even the WB network's BLACK SASH [3.5/5], with a 3.4 rating/5 share -- the lowest seen for CBS on Sunday night in recent memory.

It is not clear if it was ICE's subject matter -- a woman suffering from breast cancer in the South Pole -- or if it was viewership rejection of Sarandon that resulted in the startling ratings crash.

CBS finished first in its 7 PM slot with 60 MINS [7.5/14].

A rerun of NBC's LAW AND ORDER [10.2/16] took top honors at 9 PM; ABC's holiday airing of TEN COMMANDMENTS [8.9/14] won 10 PM.

"Sure, [ICE BOUND] was a disappointment in the ratings," a CBS source said Monday from New York. "But Susan's acting was terrific and we are very proud to have aired the movie."

Total audience levels, despite the holiday, were nearly identical to the previous week, research shows.

I know this is trite, but I found it funny...

Look at the address for the article about this. http://www.drudgereport.com/saran.htm You know, Saran wrap!

As my mother told me during the weekend, "I'd love to watch that movie, and if any other actress was starring in it, I would".

[ewing]

Did they really show that on cable?

[MeekOneGOP]

ROFL ! What a great way to start a day !

Well, Susan, how do like your right to free speech now, huh? Some (idiotic) things are best left unsaid, eh? . . .

[geege]

Jeffrey Hunter also made a very "hunky" Jesus.....

[Skooz]

You mother is probably one of any.

[MeekOneGOP]

ROFL ! I love that . . .

[Skooz]

one of any = one of many. Sorry.

[Robert DeLong]

I watched the Ten Commandments and enjoyed the entire 4+ hours of it.
