Sorry about your "butt problem".

I agree with you about some of the comments on Sean's parents. That was not the focus intended for this thread.

The intent was in reponse to what I had seen posted on the Free Republic site of mostly bad reports concerning the Academy Awards Sunday.

I esp. grieved because the Academy Awards, along with many of the pre-Oscar related shows, had been telecast to our troops.

I had seen nothing posted on Free Republic about Sean Astin going to Joan and Melissa River's pre-Oscar show (televised to our troops) for the purpose of encouraging our Armed Forces. He even displayed the cuff links he was wearing which were shaped like battleships in honor of our Naval Forces on the front line.

I had hoped to bring some encouragement after those awful anti-war protests with the disgraceful treatment of our law enforcement agents who were protecting these so-called stars. "Stars" who have no love for this country or our troops, only a love of themselves.

Sean Astin's voice was lost in the midst of this and it needed to be heard.

I might add that the quotes some posted on this thread from "The Two Towers" were also a source of comfort.

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I was jokin' on Mudboy Slim because he's such a LOTR fan and I know nothing about the classic writings and movies, I am sad to say.

I am glad this thread about Sean Astin was posted. It's refreshing to read about the "good guys" in Hollywood occasionally.
