Redford and his bufoonery add nothing to popular culture.

"We put all our concerns on hold to let the leaders lead," he said. "I think we're owed a big, massive apology."

I saw a couple pictures of Redford recently, what he really needs is a "big, massive apology" from his plastic surgeon.

[CDHart]

After reading on another thread about the kind of "entertainment" portrayed in the films for his festival, I have to say that he has more to apologize for than anyone else does.

As soon as the Left apologizes for all the damage and waste caused by the failed war on poverty, and as soon as they provide an exit strategy from it.

[Neoliberalnot]

Spoken like an actor with a syphilis-ridden brain, Redford neglected to suggest the mass murderers of 2900 innocents apologize too. Comments from hollywood since 911 have only revealed a deeper level of stupidity than I ever imagined.

[Centurion2000]

Hollywood legend wash-up Robert Redford has called on US leaders to apologise for the war in Iraq.

There ... now it's fixed.

[Wolfstar]

The way to become a "legend" in Hollywood is to get old. In Redford's case, not only is he aging, but his once-handsome face looks like the Picture of Dorian Gray come to life.

Ben stein says it much better than I can...

"How can a man or woman who makes an eight-figure wage and lives in insane luxury really be a star in today's world, if by a star we mean someone bright and powerful and attractive as a role model? Real stars are not riding around in the backs of limousines or in Porsches or getting trained in yoga or Pilates and eating only raw fruit while they have Vietnamese girls do their nails.

They can be interesting, nice people, but they are not heroes to me any longer. A real star is the soldier of the 4th Infantry Division who poked his head into a hole on a farm near Tikrit, Iraq. He could have been met by a bomb or a hail of AK-47 bullets. Instead, he faced an abject Saddam Hussein and the gratitude of all of the decent people of the world.

A real star is the U.S. soldier who was sent to disarm a bomb next to a road north of Baghdad. He approached it, and the bomb went off and killed him.

A real star, the kind who haunts my memory night and day, is the U.S. soldier in Baghdad who saw a little girl playing with a piece of unexploded ordnance on a street near where he was guarding a station. He pushed her aside and threw himself on it just as it exploded. He left a family desolate in California and a little girl alive in Baghdad.

The stars who deserve media attention are not the ones who have lavish weddings on TV but the ones who patrol the streets of Mosul even after two of their buddies were murdered and their bodies battered and stripped for the sin of trying to protect Iraqis from terrorists.

We put couples with incomes of $100 million a year on the covers of our magazines. The noncoms and officers who barely scrape by on military pay but stand on guard in Afghanistan and Iraq and on ships and in submarines and near the Arctic Circle are anonymous as they live and die. I am no longer comfortable being a part of the system that has such poor values, and I do not want to perpetuate those values by pretending that who is eating at Morton's is a big subject."

Redford and his band of navel gazers are the ones that need to apologize.

[LisaMalia]

These Hollywood idiots are playing right into the terrorists hands.

It's almost like we're not just fighting Al Quida anymore, our fight is against the MILLIONAIRE pseudo celebrities who's pockets we poor saps have lined over the years.

[Doctor Don]

Break a leg, Robert! Don't stop there......break both arms, your pretty nose...and oh yes,.... now that will be a difficult job (thick you know)....YOUR CRANIUM!

[Tall_Texan]

Just as soon as Redford apologizes for "All The President's Men".

[muawiyah]

Redford is so tiresome.

[Watery Tart]

*sigh*

I think you're just confused again, bob. See, the CIA guy you played in "Condor" was very low level. Plus he went to a paper that was going to tell his story, so to speak. I believe your character talked to someone named "Jayson." Let me know how that went for you, mmmkay?

Now, that baldwin fellow played a character with a much higher pay grade than you. That makes him much smarter, right?

And much MORE qualified to call a press conference to explain why you two didn't use your CONSIDERABLE RESOURCES to help out "demand an apology" and "...put all our concerns on hold to let the leaders lead" (what a couple of slugs, BTW).

And when I think back to the protests in the '60s, I don't remember EVER seeing a monied, preppy blonde protester. "The Way We Think We Remember The Distant Past And That We Maybe Had A Relationship With A Character Who Also Has The Same Faulty Memory" was not the name of the movie, mmmkay?

[Just A Nobody]

Hi Tator...I thought you may be interested in this.

Festival opener Chicago 10 recounts the demonstrations surrounding 1968's Democratic National Convention, which saw protestors clash with the National Guard.

director Brett Morgen ... said one of his goals in making the film was to
"mobilise the youth in the country to get out and stop this war".

His film is one of many referencing the Iraq conflict at this year's Sundance festival

[mrmargaritaville]

Here's your apology
"I'm sorry Robert-that you haven't moved you sad old wrinkled a$$ to France"-now GET OUT.

Redford was burned in effigy in Kanab in 1976 for his statements about the Kaparowits power plant. He wanted it stopped (it was) but the people in Southern Utah wanted the jobs.

After that, everyone in Utah started calling him "Bobby Bluenose", for sorta obvious reasons. He's considered sort of the resident Ted Turner loudmouth, and his ski area is always behind everyone else (Sundance).

The fact that the Sundance Festival is a success has unfortunately given Mr. Bluenose a new lease on his life of BS. But most people there - even the non-Mormons - ignore his chatter. And the "People in Black" as the Sundance Hollyweird groupies are referred to are uniformly disliked in Park City, where most people are athletic and outdoorsy. Everyone politely takes their money and waits for them to Just Leave.

"I think we're owed a big, massive apology."

Yeah, by the overpaid partisan do-nothings in the entertainment industry.
