LA SLIMES' NOTABLE OSCAR QUOTABLES -- NICOLE KIDMAN ON ONE SIDE... AND FR'S "RONDOG" ON THE OTHER!

LEFT ANGELES SLIMES

[AnnaZ]

So I finally start going through, page by page, the Oscar coverage in today's Slimes (that's right... still reading  it so that you don't have to). And then I almost had a heart attack.

 

The "E"/"Calendar Part 1" Section is dedicated to Oscar coverage, E1 starting it all off with a big pic of Best Actor winner Adrien Brody smooching presenter Halle Berry and the beginning of the story.

 

Following it in to E2 and E3, there are a bunch of huge picture of various winners from the night, the top of each page prefaced with a huge bold quote.

 

On the left side (heh, heh) is one quote: 

 

 

"Why do you come to the Academy Awards when the world is in such turmoil?

Because art is important."

 

Nicole Kidman, accepting the best actress award

 

 

 

On the right side (in more ways than one ;^) is another quote:

 

 

 

"If John Wayne was here, he'd be doing what we're doing.

He'd be supporting the troops."

 

Ron Smith, demonstrator at Hollywood and Highland

 

 

 

CONGRATULATIONS, RONDOG!!! You ROCK!!!

Iraq is not a theocracy. It is a fascist dictatorship. The children have been suffering for years under the boot of the dictator. He murdered tens of thousands of Kurdish children. Where was your concern for "the children," then?

[Wavyhill]

Depends on how short the date, and how sure the outcome. :)

There is nothing better than democracy by cruise missile, Except maybe dictatorship by terror?

[Revolting cat!]

Ever since I was a child I've thought that squirrels are just RATs that climbed the high ground. It's nice to have that re-confirmed!

[RAT Patrol]

LOL Rush can take it.

Not everyone wants to live in a democracy....Some people actually like having a theocracy...

Maybe they LIKE being tortured by Saddam... we can't judge these people by our own standards, of course. Some people are too stupid to think for themselves and prefer a dictator? What does it matter what they think? Only in a democracy does it matter. It shouldn't if they "want" a dictator. And did you know that democracies can be theocracies, as well? They aren't mutually exclusive.

"The artist provides what life does not."

Like what? Crucifixes in urine?

Hollywood is by and large Leftists, who can and will and DO make life hard for Conservatives. And don't forget that they gave that pig Moore his reward for America bashing.

[Ditto]

I don't necessarily have a problem with Nicole's remark...

Me neither, other than the implication that what Hollywood produces has anything to do with art.

[skinkinthegrass]

Almost as much as Limbaugh and O'Reilly and all the others in love with the sound of their own voices

2nd Day on FR...Nice Try, Deflect, Deflect.. must be from DUh, Eh... :)

MOULIN ROUGE was art. God, I loved that movie. I love bright colors and funny use of music and fast, farcical fun mixed with lots of shiny, intricate sets and costumes.

Rondog's comment is great.
Nicole's is okay.... but nothing I would be proud to say. So let me make it clear:
I Am NOT Nicole Kidman

[Wavyhill]

They forgot michael moore in Babe.

HappySquirrel to Iraqi people: YOU ARE NOT WORTH SAVING!

[RAT Patrol]

but the other nations on the list to attack next are...

What list? Your imagination is running away from reality.

[McGruff]

Ask yourself what you would do if a another country tried to "liberate" the US

If Saddam Hussein was our president I would welcome them.

Wait a minute we had our own Saddam Hussein. his name was Bill Clinton.

[JoJo Gunn]

"...I wonder what they could have created if not for the US punishment..."

I suspect you'll be much happier as a zotted rodent. Just hang on....
