[al baby]

Hey look its the first honeymoon from s.f.

[NYC GOP Chick]

I wish they'd learn to be afraid of the islamofascists who want to kill all of us infidels.

[Houmatt]

All great. All are missed.

[xp38]

I saw the them all in theatres and quite a while ago now. One a week for the decalogue and the trilogy.

[KellyAdmirer]

I know it sounds crazy, but from the interviews I've seen, that's how Keaton normally dresses.

[Dan from Michigan]

"Schwartzenegger was president?"

Denis Leary stole the show in that movie. My favorite part was when Cacto or whatever that doc's name was got offed.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Lately the reaction to the tribute to those who died has been so disappointing. 2/3rds of those in the audience have no clue of the talent that preceded them.

[RightWingAtheist]

He didn't look too happy at Morris. I wonder if he was just being polite.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Ashcroft ain't in charge of the IRS...

[HairOfTheDog]

You people are SO FREAKING SENSITIVE!

Hear hear! :~D

[al_again]

No kidding - do you really expect anything different????

[Clemenza]

Dumb Tiger Woods commercial now. Why does Rush worship that guy?

[wizardoz]

Ah, the Death Montage. Always puts people in the mood for a commercial.

[mass55th]

"I missed it, what was the rip on the war?? I was listening to Drudge and reading a book, while typing a paper... my girlfriend won't tell me what the lib said. "

Not sure who said it, but here goes: "Forty years ago we went down a rabbit hole in Vietnam and millions of people were killed, and now I'm afraid that we're going down another rabbit hole..." or something along that line.

[dep]

Oh man, a tribute to Gregory Peck, the man who did his darndest to bring down Judge Bork.

which is another demonstration of a variation on the old saying, in this case: living at all is the best revenge!

[beckett]

He's a leftwing documentary filmmaker. In McNamara's long running project of publicly working out his guilt over Vietnam he sat down with Morris.

Comparisons between Vietnam and the present situation are specious nonsense, but that doesn't stop 60s radicals (Morris was one) from spewing clumsy metaphors about "rabbit holes."

[YourAdHere]

This space for rent.

[Porterville]

I don't think Vietnam was a failure. We stopped the domino effect and became technologically advanced as well as jungle fighters. From the lessons learned, we can take over an entire nation in a week.

[al_again]

So what do you have against the best golfer of all time????

[BunnySlippers]

Nataliw Wood ... now there's someone I miss. She was so beautiful. Died way too soon. Wonder if we'll ever get the real story on that one.
