The more these elitists push their "queer-bait" crap, the less chance they have of actually getting people to spend money on their product. Of course, when they stop getting these gazillion dollar salaries, they'll say it was because they were "black-listed" by all of us "bigots".

I quit going to the movies about 10 years ago. All the good plots have been done and the good actors died or retired.

"A Love That Will Never Grow Old."

That's the song from Buttpoke Mountain? That's just too funny! Of course it is quite accurate since at least one partner in a homo coupling usually dies early of AIDS or some such thing so the "love" kicks off while still young.

Geez, it sounds like so are so many Golden Globe catagories that everybody ends up winning one so long as their movie bombed at at the box office.

Then he added what has come to be the perfunctory political reference. Clooney said: "I want to thank Jack Abramoff ... you know, just because. First one up, get the ball rolling."

That's pretty funny actually.

So, have they inserted a homosexual character in any of the "Harry Potter" movies yet?

I haven't seen them all, and it may have slipped by me, but I'm sure they're going to do it if they haven't already. Probably not Harry himself, but one of those other kids he "hangs" with. I don't see how Hollywood can resist.

In case anyone missed Drew Barrymore's dress, and cares, here's a link to a video:

Rachel Weisz took home the Supporting Actress prize for "The Constant Gardener," a liberally distorted conspiracy thriller.

Didn't see it, because I wouldn't hold it against Weisz because she's hot, and have thought so since "The Mummy". There's that scene when she walks out wearing that veil, she's stunning, alluring, whatever you want to call it. (Actually Internet conversation: "Dude, you realize that that was her in the first scene where she's essentially wearing body paint." Me: "Yeah, I know. But that *veil*!)

Anyway, Hollywood wonders about their losing viewers and money and want do they do: make a movie about gay shepherds and pretend their cowboys, a movie about Truman Capote, whom until I was about 10 I thought was some guy from "the Hollywood Squares", and a flick with a chick playing a guy with a (problem) who wants to be a chick. That last one might've been interesting if they had a MALE actor in the role. The second half of the film would've been more convincing. (Didn't Rex Reed do a sex change movie about THIRTY YEARS ago?)

That said, these probably are an indicator of how the Oscars will proceed and why they won't be worth watching.

"Well, that didn't really happen. But it could have.">\

Fake but accurate?

"Brokeback Mountain," snagged the biggest awards... Best Song. (The song was co-written by Bernie Taupin and titled "A Love That Will Never Grow Old.")

I suppose that this is because of AIDS...

What is closest thing to the American conservative city that could be an alternative film industry town to Hollyweird.

Hollyweird loves the "Rump Ranger Romance."

The Golden Globes are joke.

The awards are decided by 85 foreign critics who, IIRC, remain anonymous.

85 Freepers could get together and give out awards and they would be equally relevent.

Amid all the PC crapola, they did give out one award that was worthy: Hugh Laurie for "House," the best show on TV. And his speech was very funny and witty, with no political commentary at all.

Also, I've seen "Capote" and Philip Seymour Hoffman deserved to win. He was playing a guy who happened to be gay, but that had almost zero to do with the story, except as one of many factors that made him seem like such a weirdo when he first appeared in the small town to investigate the "In Cold Blood" murders. It was treated as a mere biographical fact, not a major plot point. The movie was about how he sold his soul to get the story of that book, becoming friendly with the murderers to get their story and getting all emotional about their fate, but not so much that he didn't lie about helping find a lawyer for their appeal because he really needed them to be executed so he could have a final chapter.

80 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association determine the outcome of the Golden Globes.

NEWSFLASH, and they hate the war, but love all things gay and liberal.

Just establish a special award for "MOST POLITICALLY CORRECT", already, and give out the other awards based on actual merit.
