This whole prop 8 thing in California is disturbing... personally, I think there was a lot to be said for the studio “system” where the bosses had the stars under contract and they behaved and kept their mouth shut... I like that we didn’t know who was gay and who was straight.

And if the bosses didn't behave, they woke up with a horse's head in their bed.

Has anyone here seen The Reader? I haven’t seen it yet because it looks too depressing to watch in the winter time! I was curious if the movie made Winslet’s character look terrible or more sympathetic. On the surface, you would think that this person her character is based upon would simply be very evil.

Two words: TEAM AMERICA! "**** yeah!"

I could only stomach about 15 minutes of Team America before I turned it off. What a waste of money.

Although I did get a kick out of that whole Film Actors Guild bit. Hee hee.

Well, gotta go, y'all. It's been fun.

God bless you and God bless America.

I haven’t seen anything yet but my daughter watched everything but Milk and thought Meryl Streep should have won for Doubt.

I think Hollywood is tired of Meryl.

I believe he's done some speaking on the "campaign trail", and I know that he's donated $$$ to Clinton's campaign. He said that we should have made a guy like Clinton "King".

I also read somewhere, that people connected with the DNC have approached him about running for public office. They thought that he would have a good chance in the "red states".

Kate Winslet looked great.

She always does, although I kinda liked her better when she had a few extra pounds on her.

I rest my case... I’ll take Angelina and Brad over Sarandon and Tim Robbins any day of the week.

I always thought Mickey Rourke was great in Diner, I remember thinking at the time this guy was going to be a huge star.

She was so despicable in Devil Wears Prada you almost wondered if there was a little bit of her in that role.
