I’m not sure “Screen Actors Guild” (SAG) is an accurate title for most liberal thespians.

For truth in advertising, they really should rename the union “Film Actors Guild”.

;)

[BunnySlippers]

I like Hugh Jackman. Hopefully it will be okay.
I haven’t watched in about 10 years.

[BunnySlippers]

That is a lovely gown.

A real gem from 2005. If you liked Downfall, you’ll love this.

Sophie Scholl: The Final Days

Sophie Scholl was executed by guillotine by the Third Reich for distributing anti-Nazi leaflets at her college campus and for this she was beheaded along with several of the other brave young people of the “White Rose”, an underground Nazi resistance movement. This is a dramatization of that event, it is a movie that will not leave you and will have you thinking about it for days after viewing. I highly recommend this film. I found myself drawn into this movie like few other movies will do. This is brilliant stuff. The tension becomes almost unbearable. The depiction of Freisler (The judge), which might seem over the top, but is quite consistent with accounts and actual film clips of the trial, maybe even understated. He was diabolical, tyrannical and very hot tempered.
After reading many rave reviews from regular people, I ordered this 2005 movie over the Holidays from Netflix. It was sooooo good, I just had to purchas a copy

[lewisglad]

Jolie/Pitt give :15 to Tim Gunn, lol!

[Red_Devil 232]

...the "theater experience."

That is exactly why I wont go! The last movie I saw was "Matilda", was a birthday present to a niece.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Good authority has it Zac is gay and he looks like a girlie man.

[lewisglad]

[BunnySlippers]

I like Tim Gunn

Not Jolie-Pitt.

I hope Jenn kids Angie’s butt!!! :-D

[BunnySlippers]

Sure doesn’t seem like it. Given the hundreds of times photogs catch him leaving Vanessa’s house in the AM.

Danny Glover says "I'm too old for this bleep!"

[gwilhelm56]

**Maybe the Screen Actors Guild will announce that all actors/actresses pay will be capped at $500,000 per annum!**

Most SAG actors for KILL for $500,000/year .. 95% of all SAG actors make $5,000/year or LESS

[lewisglad]

Miley Cyrus is a Brangeloonie. It figures!

[BunnySlippers]

Thanks for that side by side. I’m rooting for Mickey tonight. Why? Loki.

I’m probably misguided.

[gwilhelm56]

**I’m rooting for Mickey tonight.**

[BunnySlippers]

If you’ve ever collected unemployment check in Hollywood which I have, you see lots of them in line.

Luckily, I haven’t had to collect unemployment for many, many years,

She looks like a Christmas tree with arms and a head for a star!
