[SomeCallMeTim]

ARE they going to give out any more awards??? Tonight??

[Revolting cat!]

Wait a couple of years and you’ll be able to buy some of these Oscars at the Santa Monica Salvation Army store.

[EveningStar]

Still puzzled why so many here make a fetish out of despising film.

They don't think. They give stereotypical kneejerk reactions.

[doug from upland]

Most of us do not despise film. We despise many of the left wing aholes in Hollywood.

I co-produced a film - HILLARY! UNCENSORED

[Borges]

The Oscars are almost always free of that sort of thing.

[hole_n_one]

If they gave an Oscar for sounding like a broken record, you would need to clear a space off of the fireplace mantel for it.

[Revolting cat!]

Who’s despising film? And who’s worshipping the silly award shows, where the awards are decided by a buncha senile citizens at a Burbank old actors home?

[SomeCallMeTim]

oh my.... the MOST FAMOUS Freeper, ever...

Good to be on a thread with Doug... :-)

[tumblindice]

I’m with you Doug.
But it’s not the “film.” It’s the actors.
They suck.

[doug from upland]

Did you pay any attention to this anti-American jackasses at Oscar time when Bush was in office?

[SomeCallMeTim]

when they finally get around to giving awards.. I predict, The Artist, will collect a BUNCH of them.

[doug from upland]

I don’t know about that but thank you.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Clooney was NOT that awesomw in The Descendants... good movie, but... NOT because of Clooney. It was the kids who made it

[Borges]

Most of them were documentary filmmakers using their only moment in the spotlight to make a name for themselves...either that to the usual gang who’s thoughts were a surprise to no one.

[doug from upland]

Tony Snow was a FReeper as well as Barbara Olson and Battalion Commander John Moran; Mark Levin also

[Borges]

I’m responding to the same sort of comments so naturally my response wouldn’t change.

[SomeCallMeTim]

I don’t know about that but thank you.

well.... I think you're still the ONLY one I ever heard on the radio. :-)

[tumblindice]

You’ve obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a damn.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Tony Snow was a FReeper as well as Barbara Olson

Ok... ONE, of the most famous... LIVING.. Freepers..

I remember trading barbs with Mrs. Olson... she was awesome on here..

BTW> TOLD YOU!! Re: Clooney.. the dude from The Artist was FAR better.

[dfwgator]

Thank God, Clooney didn’t win.
