[ewing]

In tribute to the Armed Forces today the participants will be mostly dressed in black and for the men business attire is encouraged.

Celebratory music has also been cancelled as well

[nutmeg]

just keep it up, you trained monkeys. We're all watching and keeping score. We just need to know what movies to boycott.

Now THAT bears repeating!

[Wormwood]

Sean Astin (who was Sam, btw), is actually involved with the USO.

Good guy.

[Lil'freeper]

Unfortunately there's two numbskulls (Serkis and Mortgenson) in my LoTR universe and I have another whole movie to get through. Why they can't keep their mouths shut is beyond me. grrr

[katdot]

sending a big howdy to big sis

[CARepubGal]

Gollum and Mrs Gollum are uglier than a pair of Uruk Hai's! The precioussss tookkss his brainsssss! yessss!

[HairOfTheDog]

Before the show started, I heard Joan Rivers talking with Sean Astin. When he was asked to send a message to our troops overseas he said, (I paraphrase, but it's REAL close):

"Before the fighting started, I prayed on bended knee for peace. Now, though, I am praying on bended knee for peace AND victory. Come home safe and bless you all."

Just thought you might like to know what Frodo thinks.

That is Sean Astin..... He is Sam, but yes, that is what Sam thinks. He is a class act.

A close up on hillary's legs, please

Which means she wasn't opposed to war. Just non-communist ones.

[RichInOC]

I don't think I've ever seen that many Dirty Sanchezes in one place.

[OneVike]

Hate to bust your bubble but Robert is and anti_Bush Lib. He came out about two weeks ago trashing GW. Sorry!

[doug from upland]

Who is the idiot with the sign?

[ladyinred]

For the first time in my memory, I am not watching the Oscar awards. I will not subject myself to these anti-American egomaniacs in their gowns, jewels, and tuxs dishonoring our troops. They always say there are not losers, only winners. It is my opinion, they are all losers this year.

[AnnaZ]

Was it just me or did Patty Duke give the woman seated next to her a dirty look when she apploded the antiwar statement?

Darn, I don't know, I missed it. And who was that dumb (albeit kinda cute) guy, anyway?

[Windcatcher]

He played Sam Gamgee.

[doug from upland]

Here we go, slob Michael Moore's category. He had better not win.

[Lil'freeper]

Documentary feature up next. Gun control propaganda- "Guns of Columbine." These docus always have some liberal twist.

[vikingchick]

Warning: Slob alert! Michael Moore may be shown on the screen soon.

[Gunder]

Oh, geez. Here we go. If Michael Moore wins this one.... ugh... my TV might not survive. Must... keep... all... heavy... objects... at a distance.

[Rockitz]

WTF...

My sentiments exactly. There should be a barf alert accompanying that post.

[Lil'freeper]

er, Bowling for Columbine...
