Can you imagine a priest taking a group of altar boys to see the movie “Deliverance?”

According to Tim Robbins, when he was an altar boy in New York City, at the age of ten or eleven, a priest at his church took him and some other altar boys into Times Square to see the R-rated film which contained a brutal homosexual rape scene.

Tim Robbins was 14 when Deliverence first came out. He couldn't have gone when he was 10 or 11.

He was never an altar boy. Robbins went to a public school, Stuyvesent High School. Robbins made up this story to attack Catholics.

Pray for him, he needs it.

The man is a real POS...

[DoughtyOne]

Gets my vote...

[RBStealth]

Dr Thorne is that you?

[vladimir998]

He might be lying - I don’t know. But public school kids serve as altar boys too.

Consumate liar like Robbins, obviously envying Al Gore who, while sitting in his high chair, remembered his mom singing the "Look for the Union Label."

Of course, it must have cramped Gore a bit, as he was somewhere in the range of 19 or 20 at the time!

We don't refer to people who earn their livings by pretending to be someone they are not, as Hollywierd-Os for nothing!

Yeah, but Hillary Clinton was named for Sir Edmund Hillary.

And Al Gore's mother used to sing him the Union Label song when he was just a babe.

I could go on...

100%.

“Yeah, but Hillary Clinton was named for Sir Edmund Hillary.
And Al Gore’s mother used to sing him the Union Label song when he was just a babe.”

And there was Hilary Clinton’s story about being on her school’s soccer team when the school did not have a girl’s soccer team when Hillary went there.

[EEGator]

How dare you speak ill of Hillary. She endured sniper fire!

[detective]

“Either his memory is faulty or he’s lying.”

He is lying. He was never an altar boy. I was an altar boy at this time and no priest took the altar boys to the movies. And no priest at that time would take 10 year old kids to an R rated movie.

If you did not know about homosexual rape, I doubt the scene would have told you much.

To quote Mary McCarthy:

Every word she writes is a lie, including 'and' and 'the.'

[Carriage Hill]

And Bubba saw all those black churches burned down, and...

[Mercat]

Deliverance is one of two movies I have walked out on the other being A Clockwork Orange. I have avoided other movies - so here’s a question - do I want to watch either of the Kill Bill movies? My son loves them and now my dear sweet daughter in law loves them. Sigh.

What does one have to do with the other?
