Watched the local news on that last night. They showed one guy berating Kilmer. Then the guy doing the berating called Kilmer a Gringo. Didn’t help his case much. Kilmer’s a jerk, to be sure, but calling someone a Gringo while chastising them for berating you doesn’t do much for me on the give-a-damn meter.
Looks like he needs a stint in boot-camp ...
Wow - is he late for his Lamaze class?
Yep, and additionally, Hispanic is a language group, not a race.
Agreed. This is the USA. Insulting your neighbors and veterans is not against the law.
Why should anyone have to grovel and apologize just to get government permission to use their property as they see fit?
Wow...maybe Chaz Bono really is his daughter/son. He/she looks a lot more like Kilmer than Sonny.
More like “Top Gut”......
Great man-purse you got there Scuzz Butt!
“The Saint” was fairly entertaining.
My personal favorite Val Kilmer role was his portrayal of Doc Holiday in the movie — TOMBSTONE. That acting was a tour de force. He should have gotten an Oscar for that role.
His lines in that film still has a cult following.
This reminds me of the commentary and side-by-side pics of Delta Burke, only then we found out she had been using speed and other drugs to maintain what people considered “better form”, got off it and found a better, healthier, albeit *bigger* life.
>> from this to THIS.
Happens to the best of us.
“Why should anyone have to grovel and apologize just to get government permission to use their property as they see fit?”
The county attorney for that county, actually openly stated that he would not approve his permit to build some cabins on his ranch unless Kilmer apologized for saying insulting hispanics. The local ACLU started a lawsuit.
The idiot actually said he would deny a permit to a guy for saying something disparaging about hipanic culture.
Amazing,,,
exactly! one of my favorites—both his acting and the film.
I recently read somewhere that all the main stars in Top Gun got rides in F-14s. Every single one barfed except for Anthony Edwards,,”Goose”.
“What business is it of theirs what he does with his own property?”
EXACTLY! As much as I hate this idiot Kilmer (or at least his statements and a good portion of his movies), the fact that you have to beg the locals to let you use your own property is complete lunacy!
One of the reasons Houston is such a prosperous city is because they do not limit property use. There are no zoning requirements, etc... Of course, each is required to maintain a SAFE business, etc... but if I want to turn my house into a Bed & Breakfast, I do not have to ask permission; I only have to get the proper inspections to ensure I can safely operate my business!
True.
But, so have I ;)
