I would be furious also, if that were my husband.

Prayers up for Mr Douglas.

"It makes me furious they didn't detect it earlier," Zeta-Jones told People. "He sought every option and nothing was found."
He was an 0bamacare test case. Gotta' get those death panels up and running.

On a related note, I finally found “Falling Down” at a used video store. What an awesome movie and how appropriate for the current times. Douglas does a spectacular job.

I highly recommend this movie, though I fear it will be as hard to find as Song of the South.

Wal-Mart - $5. See it there all the time. Been watching that one for 20 years.

Both my husband and I love that movie.

Sadly with many cancers symptoms do not present themselves until its too late.

You did a REALLY bad job of excerpting the article, by the way.

The movie was making fun of white men. It was a liberal movie.

The movie was making fun of white men. It was a liberal movie.

It had the same effect as Archie Bunker did, then. People identified more with the character for how he was, than were repulsed by him for what he did/said.

It's rumored that McDonald's adjusted its policy on breakfasts because of this movie.

Sounds like my mother’s case. They kept telling her she had the flu but it turned out she had cancer of the esophagus, by the time they found it, it has advanced so far that they couldn’t save her. I don’t Blame CZJ for being pi**ed, I was extremely angry about my mom.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones admits having a hard time watching husband Michael Douglas battle throat cancer and has told People magazine she is furious with doctors for not detecting his disease sooner.

Douglas, the Oscar winner of “Wall Street” and a veteran of Hollywood movies and television, told the celebrity magazine that he spent months seeking attention for persistent throat and ear pain only to be told nothing was wrong until August.

The son of actor Kirk Douglas announced on August 16 that doctors had found a tumor in his throat and that he would undergo radiation and chemotherapy, which he has now started.

True! It intentionally was lampooning middle class white men who were being laid off from their jobs, and going crazy.

I love the part where the cop asks his ex about his violence and she basically said, no, but I just knew he was going to.

That happened to me about ten years after I first saw this movie. It makes that part extra comical for me. You can read it in the cops face too.

Unlike the Douglas character however, I am

Great movie. The idea that a working class, white, right winger could be pushed over the edge by political correctness was a novelty then. Duval was great as well.
