The People's Choice Awards had the lowest viewship in its history. Desperate Housewives tripled their audience count on that same given night. Even though Moore received the "Favorite Picture" award, ironically no one tuned in.

Many critics have also expressed disgust in the films up for an award with more artistic worthy films being snubbed.

Therefore, I suggest that we not tune in to watch the awards on 2.27.05; and make the Academy Awards the least watched in their history. This action by all sends a clear message!

[Liz]

I would've expected a more sympathetic post to an old man such as I.

Damn, failed again. I am determined to get this right.

This oughta make your day.

[Borges]

Great films get snubbed every year and have been since the Oscars started in the 1920s. It's just the way things go with award shows like this.

[TexasCajun]

Hummmmmm.... Laauuraaa!

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Watch your back too!

[Fiddlstix]

Thank you J

[LisaMalia]

I was talking about Hollywood in general.

[kaystreet]

Hollywood's first concern is, and always has been, making money.
It's corporate.
They give us what we want, over and over. If that weren't the case, no one would go to movies, watch television or buy cereal that's been coordinated to sell with the latest kid-blockbuster.

[Borges]

Here's the thing...if you walk into a book store, there are plenty of leftist screed 'books' all over the place. No one looks at this and says "I'm through with the publishing industry". For some reason the movie business drives reasonable people into rashness and sweeping generalizations. What a twerp like Alex Baldwin or Whoopi Goldberg say has nothing to do with a huge and varied industry. Those two I mentioned are minor figures who aren't running anything except their mouth. Back in the heyday of the studio system it was possible to think of the American film industry as monolithic. It isn't anymore and hasn't been since the 1960s.

[LisaMalia]

huge and varied industry,

Which is 99% liberal. When they decide to be fair, I might start giving them my entertainment dollars again.

[Borges]

If it's that way it's because conservatives tend to not go into film making. If a liberal consciously tried to make a film for conservatives it would be pandering garbage. A person can only make a film which is in their heart. I used to work at a film school. I didn't meet a single conservative! Encourage as many conservatives as you can to go to film school. Otherwise we can't really complain.

[Happy2BMe]

Check #80 - "You're either with us or . .

[Stultis]

Citizens United anticipated the vandalism, and had previously arranged with the sign company that their billboards would be immediately repaired if, in fact, they were damaged.

Well, O.K., but would it have cost any more to hire a sniper?

[Paul Atreides]

How about "Shut up and support your liberal notions out of your own largess."

[Vision Thing]

Here's the thing...if you walk into a book store, there are plenty of leftist screed 'books' all over the place. No one looks at this and says "I'm through with the publishing industry".

Is there anything at all in the entertainment industry that matches the outstanding success of conservative Regnery in the publishing industry?

If not, there's your problem.

You entertainers are not fair and balanced.

[cubreporter]

Or...shut up and dress and behave like a responsible adult.

[cubreporter]

Where's the photos of the Dixie Chicks and Alec Baldwin? heh, heh.

[Borges]

How can an artist be fair and blanced? You can only do what you think and feel. Everyone has their biases. What's needed is more conservative film makers. If you don't invest in an industry you can't expect it to cater to you.

[Vision Thing]

Did I say "artist"? Nope, I said "entertainers", plural.

Any effort at fair and balanced by those in your industry will go a long way towards winning American hearts.

You offered no successful Regnery equivalent in your industry, so my point about the monolithic leftiness of your industry stands.

After college, I lost my taste for Hunter S. Thompson, but this quote's the newly departed from a 1997 Book Report interview is a keeper:

Bookpgsara: What do you think about Clinton? Where does he come in in the hieracrchy of bad presidents?

Hunter Thompson: Well, we still have a few years to go. Clinton already stands accused formally of worse things than Nixon would have been impeached for. I think Clinton is every bit as. . . he's not as crude as Nixon. But maybe he is. I mean: Paula Jones? "Come over here, little girl, I've got something for you" !? It's almost embarrassing to talk about Clinton as if he were important.

I'd almost prefer Nixon. I'd say Clinton is every bit as corrupt as Nixon, but a lot smoother.

On the other hand, Thompson likened the US to Nazis recently:

"We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world - a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us. George W Bush does not speak for me or my son or my mother or my friends or the people I respect in this world."

I also have photos of HST stepping out of Kerry's limo last year.

HST's Nixon quote needs to be repeated often to the Hillary fetishists and liberal mainstream media. (So sue me for being redundant.)

Ol' Hunter got that right.
