LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
In what appears to be the largest mass defection of Cuban peerformers to date, 44 dancers, singers, and musicians, here to stage a revue, plan to seek political asylum in the United States, troupe members said on Sunday.
Drop 'em off at Danny Glover's house.
Did they bring little Elian with them?
Cuban paradise...
This should be front page news all over the country.
Is that every one of them??
Just so long as they bring some cigars along with them...
I do some work for a show ticketing company here in Vegas. It must be Havana Nights, I think Sigfried and Roy brought them here, took a bunch of tries to get them by the paperwork.
Oliver Stone is deeply saddened. All that propaganda work, gone to waste...
Bienvenidos a America, amigos!
Is there any way we can send Cuba 44 liberals? We could send singers, musicians, and actors to take the place of the defectors. Fidel won't even notice they're gone.
Let's send Bruce Springsteen, Michael Moo, Barbara Streisand, Susan Sarandon and her husband what's-his-name, Cameron Diaz .......... any other suggestions?
The RATS are having a baaaaaaaad Nov. First the re -election of W, 1600 dead terrorist in Iraq, Arafat the scum is dead....now their hero's own folks are deserting !
Welcome to America!
LOL... and notice the Cubans didn't defect to a Blue State. Don't want to jump from the frying pan into the fire...
"It was an experience of a lifetime to sit only a few feet away from him and watch him relive an experience he lived as a very young man," Costner said at a press conference on April 11th at Havana´s elegant Hotel Nacional. "We all live in this world, and we all recognize Cuba is a big player although it is a small country," he said. "My interests aren't as political -- my life has been chosen to make films. I think humanity is a great experiment. Who is to say ... [that] the United States is right and Cuba is wrong?"
I didn't follow your link yet, but I imagine that's from when he was down there to watch 13 Days with El Presidente.
Yep, that's it. I thought I remembered him going to Havana for some reason. Now I'm reminded how bad Costner's Massachusetts accent was in that flick... Yikes!
I never saw Robin Hood, but I understand his accent shifted constantly throughout that movie. He's terrible.
I think Kevin should relocate to Cuba. Incognito of course, so he doesn't get any special treatment. Even with his challenged intellect, I don't think it would take him long to figure out who's right and who's wrong.
Oh yeah, Robin Hood was bad acting to be sure. In addition to Costner's atrocious accent, the PC presence of Morgan Freeman as his sidekick was pretty embarassing. Yes, lots of brothers were strolling through Merry Olde England at the time. Most of the movie, Freeman had a look on his face like, "why did I accept this job?"
Heh. For some reason, I'm picturing Freeman with the "Aw, geez. Not this s**t again!" look on his face.
A few subtropical summers hacking sugar cane by government decree would make him a little more thankful for America. And then he might be able to fake a good Cuban accent!
"Yes, lots of brothers were strolling through Merry Olde England at the time."
Freeman was playing a muslim swordmaster that Costner met on the Crusades. But yeah, Costner was AWFUL in that film.
Alan Rickman was good though.
Alan Rickman is one of the most underrated actors working today. He is one of the few I know who can play either a hero or a villain convincingly.
Flash to Hollywood elitists! Your expressed desire to leave this Country has been facilitated by a troupe of entertainers offering to swap with you....
