The actor from Mask, correct?

[rintense]

Yep. He was one of Spicoli’s buds, like Cage.

[beaversmom]

Yeah, I remember him now. He was getting high with Spicoli. I think Cage was supposed to be Brad’s bud though—as listed on IMDB.

[Cyropaedia]

Yeah, there was a real groundswell of support in the final weeks for Leo.

One theory postulated that Streep and Winslet were going to split the same contingent of voters and Leo would be able to squeeze out a victory. Looks like that didn't happen.

Despite the Liberals; I like watching ‘Oscar night’. Have to say this was the best one in a long time. Hugh Jackman stole the show. He was great; as were the productions he was in. Hugh made this a winning evening, IMHO. . .

[cricket]

You do not sound interested by just in case and for those who are not familiar. . .

Check out 'Big Hollywood' (Andrew Breitbart of 'Breitbart.com'). A Conservative effort embedding itself in Lib Land; encouraging; inviting Conservative diaglog and Hollywood Conservative outings. . .A Breitbart goal to fight the Lib's own culture war on their own ground so as to effect positive change.

There are Conservatives in Hollywood; and good to see them finding their 'courage'. . .for which they do pay a price. Breitbart trying to change that.

[Niuhuru]

I loved tha scene where Hutch filches a hundred dollars from the dead man’s wallet and says it was empty.

[Niuhuru]

Then why was Miley Cyrus and Beyonce there?

[Niuhuru]

I know. You didn’t hear them spout off about politics or blatantly fluant their affairs.

I remember how Isabella Rossellini ran off with her lover while pregnant and the studio actually chastised her, definately the good old days.

[Borges]

You’re talking about her mother Ingrid Bergman back in the 1940s. She was pregnant with Isabella.

[Niuhuru]

Well, either way, it is good to know that back then the studios actually took into considerations sensibilities other than their own.

[synbad600]

Stiller was so spot on as Starsky.

Mark Steyn wrote something about 'the sweater' and how some women had found it to be the sexiest thing going. I can't remember which book the article was in off the top of my head (I've been reading so much of his stuff lately!) but it was really funny.

[Niuhuru]

Both Owen and Stiller should have been nominated for an oscar for their performance.

[OCCASparky]

Maybe you can hit the abuse button and delete yourself.

Whatever, noob. Poof and begone before that ozone you smell is you.

[drubyfive]

...you really want to compare Country Music to Hollywood when it comes to promoting anti-American values?

Have you seen what people like Ralph Stanley and Del McCoury have been putting out?

[nufsed]

I’ve been her 6 years longer than you, NOOOOOOOOB. When you grow up ping me.

[OCCASparky]

Since Sep 27, 2008

Something tells me you've got a problem with chronology. Now, STFU and go away unless you'd like to explain your logic underlying your earlier post.

[nufsed]

Can’t explain anything to an idiot like you. If you want me to go away stop replying to me. I won’t chase you. I guess you’ve learned nothing in the 5 years you’ve been here.

[synbad600]

Well . . . I wouldn’t go that far!

[Yardstick]

Thanks. Might have to check it out.
