Baldwin was appalled when the actress likened him to former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, and was especially crushed when she claimed in legal papers that he was not a good parent to their daughter Ireland.
He says, "My ex-wife once said, 'He's Saddam Hussein.' She said that.
"And I thought, 'Do I hide myself in cramped underground quarters? Do I like to shoot firearms in a celebratory way? Did I execute whole villages of people and bulldoze their bodies into a pit? What are you saying? Explain this to me.'

Great movie.
Did you ever see the very similar Vincent Price offering, "The Last Man on Earth"?
Of course, how can you beat Chuck "Soylent Green Is People" "Damn You all to Hell" Heston when it comes to end of world flicks.
Logic? You're trying to impose logic on a Hollyweirdite? Give it up. You'll just hurt yourself.
They were both based on the same book, Richard Matheson's classic novel "I Am Legend".
Price played the main character with an exhausted, resigned, quiet desperation while Chick went at it with his usual scenery-gnawing, street-strafing, messianic vigilante zeal.
Cheston *is* the king of 'Doomsday flicks', God bless 'im....:)
Unfortunately, Baldwin is in "The Departed." I'm debating if I should see this movie. Maybe when Alec scenes come up I'll close my eyes.
Yes! I've seen you on a couple other threads, and hardly anyone else. Well, there's the FReeper I may have accidentally picked a fight with. . . . but that wasn't you.
Chick, of course, should've been Chuck.
[whose stupid idea was it to put the i and the u right beside each other?!?]....:D
I blow up fireworks in a celebratory way... is that a bad thing?
Damn VA, they do look very similar! He should definitely play him in the TV movie.
Baldwin- what a worthless piece of c*ap!
That's an insult to Saddam
Perhaps Baldwin thought if he's like Saddam, then Saddam must not be such a bad guy after all....could make sense to a liberal.
not a good parent to their daughter IrelandDaughter Ireland? Both parents are loons.
Okay, might be something to this...

This feud between Basinger and Baldwin is a difficult one to take a side on...but I have to say, I actually feel bad for Baldwin in this one, Kim Basinger is a NUT of the highest order. Her bio is like one huge trainwreck. She's played every divorce trick a woman has in her handbag. He seems to really love his kid and she makes it difficult for him...and that's unacceptable. Even her own mother has said it.

So Baldwin is now admitting Saddam was truly evil?
So, I guess she called him SH while the White House was still dirty, then?
My thoughts exactly!
