Hollyweird is one liberal poltically incestuous cesspool.

If we don't give them any attention maybe they'll shut up. I could care less what these actors/actresses think - no more than they care what I think.

Her shocking views were certainly less shocking to those who know that Gyllenhaal is the daughter of a screenwriter named Naomi Foner.

Ah, I see. Geez, everyone in Hollywood is related to someone else in Hollywood. It's how most of them get their foot in the door. They're like the royal family: inbred and mostly decorative.

It's so conderate of these hollywood scummers to once again remind us of why we really can't go to the movies anymore.

If someone can tune me in to alternative "conservative" movie festivals, I would really be interested.

"I have not taken a stand on any war since Vietnam," Fonda says. "I carry a lot of baggage from that."

You'd think Hanoi Jane would have learned her lesson, which just goes to show that because a person is a celebrity does not mean they have a high IQ.

In 1988, Foner wrote a film called "Running on Empty" that basically lionized and celebrated America's own wanna-be al Qaeda organization, the Weather Underground.

I've seen this movie. It didn't lionize and celebrate the Weather Underground at all. In fact, it accomplished quite the opposite -- it made them look misguided and pathetic.

The movie tells the story of a family where the mother and father were involved in a 1960s-type leftists anti-war bombing. The parents have been on the run ever since, living under assumed names and running from town to town whenever it appears that they are about to be caught. They have had two children since the bombing, who have understandably had a difficult life growing up in such circumstances. The movie picks up the family just as the older son is about to graduate high school, but has to move yet again because the heat is coming down on the family.

It is impossible to imagine how anyone can see this movie as a celebration of the radical bomb-throwing left. If anything, it is an indictment of the stupidity of violent student radicals in the 1960s, and the futility of their efforts.

Senator McCarthy was right in the 50's. We could use him now. Hollywood has always been liberal to the point of idiocy.

People are j ust plain tired of hollywood and its phony occupants. Years ago people went to the movie during wartime to be entertained because everyone supported the war effort. Hollywood in turn did its part to help and the American people responded in kind.

Today hollywood bashes its own country. The very own country and people who put food in their mouths and money in their wallets. They are too full of themselves and for some reason think that everything they do is something we want to know about.

They are wasteful beyond comprehension. This morning we flipped past and then went back to a channel that was showing baby items and the stars who pay for them. They showed a tiny little pair of baby shoes and the pricetag on those were $180. Imagine.. $180 for a pair of baby shoes that would be worn maybe 5 times.

I guess I shouldn't blame the stars. I should instead congratulate the the makers of these items and their brillance for hawking these items to the stars. The makers know the stars will buy anything as long as it has a designer (and I use that term lightly) name on it and they know the stars are so full of themselves they think buying all of that makes them special or better. So, they are taken to the cleaners while the maker collects the money and laughs behind their backs.

Hollywood in my opinion is finished. There are virtuals tht will happen in the future and then no one will have to look at or listen to the excuses in hollywood who call themselves talent.

Our country will go on forever and in the meantime we will watch these wasteful, self-serving individuals drop by the wayside one by one by one. Good Riddance!

ps: I just bought a darling little pair of blue and white tennis shoes for a baby in Target. They are the cutest little things and only cost $9. No designer label...just good, common sense sweet little shoes for a baby boy. Yeah!

Definitely a good plan to rescue Hollywood from the quick sand it has itself mired in. *Glug... glug*. Keep struggling to free yourself, that always helps. And keep the cameras rolling. I love a good horror story that has a happy ending.

Cinderella Man was an excellent movie. Crowe, as a person may not be your cup of tea but he was wonderful in the movie. It was a feel good movie that honored the common man. No political overtones or mysterious coded characters just a good story that was very well acted.

We took the kids to see Fantastic Four. It was what it was - a very entertaining flick for the kids.

That's it. No other good movies come to mind that we have seen in the past year. Very sad.

Did "The Great New Wonderful" even recoup its production costs at the box office? It sure didn't seem to be around too long.

"I have not taken a stand on any war since Vietnam," Fonda says. "I carry a lot of baggage from that."

Someone explain to me how this woman is not afraid to do this tour considering all the monsters (Kerry's quote) THE NAM war created, not to mention all the phsycos either. Isn't she afraid they may take out her bus.
It's like the liberals and the London terrorists. They blow up something and the libs want to surrender, however they didn't follow their own logic when that guy blew up an abortion clinic back some time ago. They didn't want to surrender and close all the abortion clinics.
They only want to fight when it is against this country.

There's nothing wrong with opposing government policy. I'm acquainted with a number of people who don't support the Iraq War and believe that the government unduly alienates other countries with its foreign policies. I wholeheartedly support their right to disagree with me. The Constitution supports their right to do so. It's healthy to ask whether a different approach to issues could produce better results.

But it's another thing to suggest that military and criminal attacks against American people and soil is justified. It that's what they truly believe, they have no business being citizens of a country which has treated them so well.
