SARANDON MOVIE ON CBS FINISHES LAST PLACE IN OVERNIGHTS
So True.
I surfed through the program several times on my way back to others more interesting last night, but I did catch the last two minutes. It was not even close to what really happened. Instead of bright sunshine (it was in the middle of winter, for cryin' out loud!) it was dark, cold and very treacherous flying conditions. Their time on the ground was extremely limited and one of her friends had to literally pick her up and throw her on the plane or she would never have got on it.
Much, much more dramatic than the silly movie depicted.
LOLOLOL!!! Chuck Heston (in a loincloth) rules!!!!!
(.....okay, Chuck Heston rules, period...)
I understand Michael Moritority(sp)got blacklisted in Hollywood during the Clinton years. I wonder where Tim, Susan, and Mike were when that was happening?
Maybe people who have unrefundable Dixie Chicks tickets should either just not go or go and sit in silence. Wouldn't it be incredible if 3/4ths of the crowd just sat in silence?
LOL. Wednesday afternoon my oldest and I tried to rent "The Ten Commandments" at the local BB. He wanted to watch it after our Seder. After telling us they didn't have it, the clerk said, "Guess you wanted it for Easter, huh?" I smiled and replied, "Well, it's a story about the Jews. There isn't a Christian in it. They didn't come along for another thousand years." He looked perplexed. :o)
Isn't this called putting on a brave (but really really dumb) face?
Why do you think the guys got together that night for dinner, anyway?
I think he still is, don't see him around as much as his talent would indicate he should be. Didn't he have some other problems as well?
IMHO: he put Law ond Order on the map.

The United Way just canceled a Tampa Bay speaking engagement by the actress after it got three dozen complaints from donors and others who don't like her anti-liberation stance. Sarandon - whose live-in, Tim Robbins, recently threatened the Washington Post's Lloyd Grove with violence for daring to report that Sarandon's mom is a Republican - was set to be the keynote speaker at an April 11 event sponsored by the... |

PETERSBURG, Fla. - Actress Susan Sarandon said she was disturbed by a charity's decision to cancel her appearance at a fund-raising event because of complaints about her anti-war views. The United Way of Tampa Bay was to feature the 56-year-old actress as keynote speaker at an April 11 women's leadership event designed to inspire volunteerism in the community. But organizers this week scrapped the $75-a-plate event after the charity got three dozen complaints about Sarandon's selection. Robin Carson, chairwoman of the board of directors, said the event had the potential to become "divisive." "The focus of our whole meeting... |

The United Way Of Tampa Bay - which raises funds for a series of good causes in the region - had lined up the Thelma And Louise star to give a talk at their April 11 event, but were concerned it would provide a means for the actress to voice her views.

She says, "I was in Canada when this was happening and if you're outside the country you get a very different perspective on the way things are working. You get news from around the world."

According to the Tampa Bay Tribune, Sarandon was to speak at the $75-a-plate luncheon in Tampa April 11 as part of an all-day United Way training session to inspire female volunteerism. It was canceled over fears by organizers that the actress was going to turn the event into a political platform to protest the war in Iraq.

It was made in 1988 and people today still swear by it. It was funny and warm and acerbic and crazy, much like the game itself. So beloved is this film, that the Baseball Hall of Fame had a 15th anniversary celebration scheduled for it later this month at Cooperstown, N.Y. I say "had" because the event was just canceled. The reason it was canceled was because the president of the Hall of Fame, a Michigan native named Dale Petroskey, didn't like... |

If you do like Sarandon, the good news is she gives a solid performance that elevates CBS' "Ice Bound: A Woman's Survival at the South Pole," an otherwise ordinary *** depiction of Dr. Jerri Nielsen's well-documented battle with breast cancer, isolation and the elements that's set for 8 p.m. Sunday on WBBM-Channel 2. So it goes for Sarandon, an increasingly polarizing figure of late, left out in the cold by some for her anti-war stances. First,... |

No kidding, add him to the list of F list actors with no future.
It would be easy to get into a religious discussion that would probably be inappropriate for this forum. However, I personally see the movie choice of "The Ten Commandments" as enabling ABC to show religious subject matter on Easter, without telling the "Easter story" of a resurrected Savior.
LOL I kind of thought the same thing, but I enjoy the movie none the less.
No, Tim, the public, like many of your relatives and friends, agree with the Administration but are too polite to shout: "sit down and shut up you idiot".
