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

Makes me think of George C. Scott's line from Doctor Strangelove (typing from memory, so bear with me)...

"Well, you see, if the pilot's good, I mean if he's really...sharp. He bring that baby in so low, I mean, you gotta see it. It's a sight! A BIG plane, like a '52! VROOOOOM! Jet exhaust, frying chickens in the barnyard!"

[Squantos]

Yer better at spelling than me :o)

[Porterville]

Gere is sooo not Buddhist, he is too confrontational and kills gerbils.

[HairOfTheDog]

I know! - Mine was also a joke! - I chuckled!

{laughs at her own jokes}

Most movies are unwatchable after a while. Except for Gone with the Wind and Wizard of Oz.

So true. Most recent films are simply a waste of time, and will soon be forgotten.

I'd rather play a game of cards with friends. You can talk, laugh, and not have to pay the Hollyweird folks for their un-American views.

"Backstage in the press tent, Michael Moore -- wearing a badge he made that read, 'Shoot Movies, Not Iraqis" -- continued his invective against President Bush, and said that the war "teaches an immoral lesson to the children of Columbine, it says that violence is acceptable.'"

Moore concluded with, "Any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, you aren't long for the White House."

[Lil'freeper]

TTT doesn't stand a chance for best picture. Chicago is full of chicks in lingerie dancing on stage. Our virtuous hobbits aren't hollywood enough I fear.

[kcvl]

Tell that to the terrorist who want her entire family
D E A D...DEAD.

[HairOfTheDog]

I know it doesn't stand a chance... If not the first film, then definately not the *middle* film.

Prettyboy Ben with no pen...

[Wavyhill]

It's easy to teach your children not to fight when you're a multimillionaire who can send them to some expensive private school and pay for bodyguards for them. This slut should send her kids to a public school and tell them never to fight.

[Fraulein]

Exactly.

[RummyChick]

this dude will talk about the war

[Lil'freeper]

Rats- My Big Fat Greek Wedding didn't get best original screenplay. :(

[kcvl]

"Any time you got 76% of the American people against you, you aren't long for the movie theatres."

[cyncooper]

I saw some starlet (Nicole Kidman maybe) with her hands clasped together to keep from clapping(she's probably learned from Natalie Maines to keep her opinions to herself.

I'm obviously way behind in reading opinions here, but I had to say that I saw Nicole Kidman and thought she had her arms crossed and a look of disgust on her face for Moore's words.

[HairOfTheDog]

What a body.

Well, I am a chick, so I can't go that far, but I can recognise gorgeous!

[Lil'freeper]

Prettyboy Ben with no pen...

make that pin.

[RichInOC]

Pedro...a Weed Whacker is not intended to be used as a hair clipper.

[RummyChick]
