The Walken Platform
These are the issues that need solutions now, and Christopher Walken is not afraid to address them. He wants his supporters and opponents to know that he is clear in his ideals and will fight to lead America to a better place.
Campaign Finance Reform:
"I believe that campaign finance is a very tough issue, with good points on both sides; but I feel, as a wealthy american, that I should have no more say than even the least fortunate American citizen. That is why I am for campaign finance reform."
Military Funding:
"I am a huge supporter of the military. I have always thought of them as our guardians, and when our guardians are making less than the poverty line, and children are suffering because their parents decided to join the military, well, I get very upset. I feel that instead of sending billions to the Pentagon's pet projects, it should go to the troops."
Stem Cell Research:
"I'd met Chris Reeve several times before he died, and after having met him it is tough to be against it [stem cell research]. I am for human knowledge and expansion of human life. If stem cells are one way to do that, I need to be a good friend of stem cells."
We appreciate the great response you've sent us, interested in more information about Christopher Walken's policies and platform. Please have patience as he puts his ideas into words, and as soon as they're available, we'll put them here. Thank you for your support.
LOL! OK. :-)
Only two things scare me; and one of them is nuclear weapons!
Any doubts now?
I think Madame Defarge missed one.
PS: French building civilization ? That's rich .. see Algeria and Vietnam for french civilization building.
Every Ben Stiller movie is the worst Ben Stiller movie ever made.
Once for Grace before dinner.
It's just... too wierd.
I wondered if someone else would remember Christopher Walken was on the boat the night of Natalie Wood's suspicious drowning. It's not Chappaquidick, but hey, it's interesting to think what an opponent could turn it into.
Christopher Walken's best role? Lead in the movie DEAD ZONE.
"What we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothin'. But you're tellin' me everything. Now I know you know where they are. So tell me, before I do some damage you won't walk away from."
OOOOOOH, you're giving me chills! What's that from?
It's not from "Gigli" is it?
True Romance?
Re: Brainstorm
You are ABSOLUTELY right about that flick being underrated.
That was a fabulous movie, one of my favorites, sadly the last movie Natalie Wood made prior to her death.
Now about Walken? I concede that Walken is a little on the weird side, but is he any more weird than say, Gary Bauer?
I know, I know, Bauer is a fine conservative, but there was just something about him...
Back to Walken:
I think the funniest damn thing I ever saw Walken do was when he was hosting Saturday Night Live, and he started singing "Tomato/Tomatoh", it was hysterical:
Christopher Walken: Thank you. It’s good, as always, to be here. It’s a treat. But this time, it’s extra special because it’s the final show of the season. After how many shows, Jimmy? 505, actually. 505, Wow! I've done it five times - what's that? A drop in the bucket. So I thought, "What can I do to make my mark?" And then, I thought, "Well, I'll sing a song."
[ singing ]
"Things have come to a pretty pass
Our romance is growing flat
For you like this and the other
While I go for this and that
Goodness knows where the end will be
Or I don't know where it's at.
It looks as if we two will never be one
Something must be done.
You say potato, and I say potato
You say tomato, and I say tomato
Potato, potato
Tomato, tomato
Let's - "
Jimmy Fallon: Chris?
Christopher Walken: Jimmy, wazzup!
Jimmy Fallon: Sorry to interrupt. I don't know if that's how the song goes.
Christopher Walken: What do you mean?
Jimmy Fallon: You're singing the words the same. You have to say, like, tomayto, tomahto. Tomahto, potahto.
Christopher Walken: Tomahto? What's that?
Jimmy Fallon: It's just how they say it.
Christopher Walken: Okay, I'll give it a try.
[ singing ]
"You say potahto, I say potahto
You say totahto, I say totahto
Tomahto, potahto
Potahto, potahto, tomahto, tomahto -"
Jimmy Fallon: Chris, I'm so sorry. You're doing it the other way now. And I think you have to alternate them.
Christopher Walken: Alternate, shmaltermate! Jimmy, look, they're all spelled the same on the cards. What do you want from my life?
Jimmy Fallon: I think you're supposed to go - potayto, potahto..
Christopher Walken: Jim, how old are you?
Jimmy Fallon: I'm 26.
Christopher Walken: Ouch! Look, son.. sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. Let me show you. And a-one, and a-two -
[ singing ]
"I say potayto, and I say potayto
You say tomayto, and I say tomayto
Potayto, potayto
Tomayto, tomayto
Let's call the whole thing off.
But, oh, if we call the whole thing off, and we must part
And, oh, if we ever part
Then that might break my heart.
So if you like pajamas, and I like pajamas
I'll wear pajamas, and give up pajamas
For we know we need each other
So we better call the whole thing off
Let's call the whole thing
Let's call the whole thing -
Let's not call the whole thing o-o-off
Let's not call the whole thing off!"
We've got a wonderful show - Weezer is here!
[ singing ]
"You say Weezer, and I say Wizer
Weezer, wizer -"
Stick around, we'll be right back!
Cowbell in the Whitehouse?
Oh, wait.....
So your grandmother ****** an eggplant.
yeah, but that's Dennis' line
