Ah yes, a chance for Alec Baldwin to be an aging, decorated but agressive Marine captain who leads a Force Recon team into the Hindu Kush to seek out the Islamic Bad Guys? No thanks.

How about Barbra Streisand or Julia Roberts playing a strong First Lady guiding her weak, pathetic husband through his faith-based Enduring Freedom campaign? At the last moment, calling off the Special Forces and making a private pilgrimage to the bunker of Ossama baby, past the bodies of thousands of innocent victims of the US agression, to work out a piece deal, so we can all just get along.

No thanks. They are irrelevant, except for a few. They could volunteer their time, and work gratis for the USO. But they would run the risk of running into what Hillary ran into. Let them stay marginalized, right where they are.

I love old B & W movies but let's face it: the movies Hollywood made during WWII about WWII were mostly melodramas hawking B.S. Can anyone on the planet watch Back to Bataan without feeling horribly embarrassed?

I believe Mr. Chuck D expressed the proper sentiments, though for another reason: Burn Hollywood BURN.

I think it's a reflection on the fact that a lot of today's stars have really "only" been actors and actresses, whereas some of the older coots had real lives and jobs pre-Hollywood. Not all of them, but I think that the WWII generation of stars may have had more of a real-life perspective.

Plus, there's no one who can whine like Baby Boomers as a whole.

There is only one TV show I can stand to watch since Sept. 11 and that is the new Star Trek show Enterprise.

Most of these people in Hollywierd are so pathetic it's not worth discussing. However, how about this?

I, of course, have a list of New Yorkers and Washingtonians (including, lately, myself) who would be happy to trade places with worried celebrities

What's that all about? Talk about being full of yourself!

mere actors and actresses have allowed their egos to inflate to the point where they seem not to know if they are god or man.

I vote for turds with legs.
