[RedMonqey]

The"rabbit hole" comment was about Haiti, right? ( Sarcasm)

[John H K]

Ok, is that Tiger Woods commercial new? I've never seen it before.

Quite possibly the best commercial I've ever seen in my life.

[AgentEcho]

Anyone realize that Robert Duvall was Boo Radley in TKAM?

[LisaMalia]

You're very welcome. I'm wondering where he is tonight, and what he thinks of all this Oscar nonsense.

If the "Academy" is going to have any credibility left after the snooze fest tonight, "The Passion of the Christ" will get a record amount of nominations next year.

I'm just not sure, at that point..... that Mel, or anyone else, will care.

[Alouette]

I haven't seen a SB chick flick yet

"Miss Congeniality"

[mass55th]

Do you know who that moron was that made the comment about Vietnam and Iraq?

[JulieRNR21]

why I skipped the oscars:

Crystal said that the first time he hosted the Oscars (news - web sites) 13 years ago, things were different from today: "Bush was president, the economy was tanking and we'd just finished a war with Iraq (news - web sites)."

That makes two of us..... :)

[Maigrey]

I'm on Central time. So, It's 9:45 for me here. 8-)

[BigWaveBetty]

Tiger better keep his day job, he couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag!

[Dr.Deth]

OTOH, that American Express Tiger Woods "Caddyshack" commercial I just saw deserves an Oscar or three.... ROLFMAO

[Thane_Banquo]

It shows what Hollywood is really about that President Bush gets hammered at the Oscars while Leni Riefenstahl gets honored.

[John H K]

You have seen Caddyshack, right? If you haven't you won't get the commercial.

[hattend]

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

Rush likes golf. Tiger is a great golfer. Pretty simple actually. LOL

[Central Scrutiniser]

They were afraid to clap for Leni Reifenstal

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

The reason that Uma is wearing this dress....

Is because she is hiding this body underneath it!

[Lil'freeper]

And only a handful of the audience are of the caliber to be counted among those greats.

[eleni121]

I saw it today too.

Absolutely superb film.

It seems almost blasphemous to talk about it as a film and I sincerely thank Gibson for his heroic efforts.

[eddie willers]

Are you kidding? All you need is to slag Bush, they'll give you two.

No....he was a jerk with his first statement. (Paraphrase, "Finally you recognized my genius...about damn time you putz")

And Nielsen numbers may well go down after his little diatribe.

Ask Howard Stern and Clear Channel if people aren't listening. (and complaining)

[lonevoice]

And your thread and obvious interest in moral degenerates is repulsive to me.

For some reason I'm reminded of the guy that was recently arrested for possessing child pornography, a sheriff I think, who claimed he became attracted to it only as a result of having to investigate related crimes.

[Clemenza]

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

What are you talking about? I have nothing against Bobby Jones...
