Ok here’s my question, how hard is it to write a screenplay for a non-fiction story like “Milk”? Tell me that award wasn’t politically motivated.

IF YOU ARE as HATEFUL as you Appear... I want NOTHING to do with the God that you proclaim in your profile.

If it is so bad ... GO THE EFF AWAY! Sir.

You’re the party pooper who refuses to keep it to himself.

Why should I keep it to myself? That's part and parcel of how and why this country got so screwed up it voted for a non-American for President.

You people should be ashamed of yourselves for taking part in the glorification of movies that seek to destroy American values.

If you don't like what I have to say, don't respond to what I say.

Actually, I really liked him in “The Patriot”. A fresh, new handsome face and talent to match.

It was very sad to see him take a downward path through drugs. He had everything to live for: beautiful fiance and child; great career; etc.

But he couldn’t say no to the drugs.

How does Slumdog Millionare or Benjamin Button, the two big winners tonight, do this? The latter actually celebrates Americana.

A few years ago, I got 9 of 10 in Riverside and won the tie breaker. Since then, I haven’t been able to keep up. I knew s-dog was the fav. Had the buzz. I’m wanting Rourke, but not sure.

Screenplays based on historical events are actually harder to structure than those made up from whole cloth.

Does the word joke have any clue for you. Yes, tell Karl to call me and I’ll tell him.

I have to say that I thought Hugh Jackman was really good in the introductory number.

I knew he had really long fingernails, but I didn’t know he could sing and dance, and also has presence and charm.

Quite familiar with Judy Garland's later problems and drug use. Also with her being extremely popular among homosexuals.

Whatever she became, she was too beautiful for this world.

I believe it. I love Chinese movies.

And Japanese. Akira Kurosawa is the giant and genius of motion pictures. I’ve watched “Kagemusha” five times.

I can’t wait to see “Slumdog”. While Hollywood declines, these other nations arise in the movie game.

Yes they are.

IF YOU ARE as HATEFUL as you Appear...

I'm not hateful. I just love different things than you do. Like promoting American values as opposed to anti-American values.

I want NOTHING to do with the God that you proclaim in your profile.

That's your prerogative.

If it is so bad ... GO THE EFF AWAY! Sir.

No. You people are revelling in the glorification of an industry that is hostile to American values and nobody is going to shut me up about it.

You should hit the abuse button and ask the mod to pull the thread because movies are unAmerican. Or admit, you’re a disruptor and go away.

No, just the part where I said previously that it was a joke and a play on words.

I'm talking about the industry in general. You think just because they throw us a couple bones we should fawn all over them? Pathetic.
