It was kinda weird and clumsy.... Sean Astin's behavior last night. He kinda sidled up to Bernard Hill as if to help him because he was dragging... and then he made some really clumsy comments about SAG

Good ...afternoon. Couldn't sleep last night, so up and trying to start this Monday a bit late. Terry is off again to Dallas, then Huntsville, Ala next week.

"SAG-ing" after the "SAG' awards last night. Couldn't figure out Sean last night either, Hair. He can get somewhat "hyper", and from some of the cast members have said, he has major "control issues".
Read his mother, Patty Duke's two books, "Call Me Anna" and "A Brillant Madness" about her struggle with Manic/Depressive illness. It is a miracle that Sean can walk and talk and be the moral family man he is, coming from and working within that HW enviroment.
It almost seemed like he "spased out" from nerves or something. I think Tim Robbins may have "baited" this with his remark about "these run away productions in foreign countries taking American dollars" crap. His wife, made, what I thought was a rather vague dig at LOTR at the "Globes" by making some stupid statement about Tim Robbins' film being good on its on merits without the use of "special effects".
I could be overly senistive here, but I think both remarks were aimed at LOTR.
What I THINK Sean was trying to say last night was that he and his family have been a part of "SAG" and the Hollywood community for two generations and trying to make a plea for unity. It just think it didn't come out right. Although he is liberal, he is, I think, a "honest" one, otherwise, his thinking is darkened so he believes this is the "position" which shows the most compassion. I don't think he is liberal to "devour people" for power.
I do hope and pray for him to see truth and be a part of that.

Wish Elijah had been there as I think he is helpful in "stablizing" Sean, but kinda concerned about this stuff going on in New Orleans. Hope he manages to hold some kind of "witness"

Sorry on a soap box this am. Do hope you are all well and had a good weekend. Under the weather here for most of it. I guess I should shut up.

Not sure what you mean by "witness".... but if you are hoping a young man that likes to have a good time can go to Mardi Gras and keep his church behavior on.... well, I think he would need more than prayers. He would need his mother to be there.
