That cartoon with moore in bed with the donkey totally wins THE PRIZE.
Rock on, Liz -- great tag line, too.
(Consider it stolen J )
Good work. Might be nice to have a Meryl Streep sign about Alar. She has some espalining to do. Alar did not cause cancer and it, her congressional testimony, did ruin Washington State apples for years.
Responsibility about what?I am not advocating government censorship, or even necessarily free market retaliation against the films created by these Hollywood leftists.I just think they should keep their left-wing politics to themselves, otherwise the marketplace should rule as to what does or doesn't get made.
I don't want the moral majority determining what kind of movies get made - that would totally suck.
But I **do** believe that "to whom much is given, much is required."See, for example, the message that I promoted at a PREVIOUS Oscar FReep:
LA SLIMES' NOTABLE OSCAR QUOTABLES --
NICOLE KIDMAN ON ONE SIDE... AND FR'S "RONDOG" ON THE OTHER!
LEFT ANGELES SLIMES

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 awardOn the right side (in more ways than one ;^) is another quote:"If John Wayne were here, he'd be doing what we're doing.He'd be supporting the troops."Ron Smith, demonstrator at Hollywood and Highland-- snip

"If John Wayne were here, he'd be doing what we're doing. He'd be supporting the troops.What Would Elvis Do???
-- snip --
What Would Elvis Do???LOL!Elvis was my SECOND choice for a sign...We KNOW what Elvis did, from www.top40-charts.com:
ELVIS JOINS THE US ARMY
By the end of 1957, Elvis Presley was the unchallenged King of Rock'n'Roll. With nine US chart-topping hits behind him achieved in less than two years, he was the hottest item on any menu, but that very fact may have strongly influenced the US Government in their insistence that Presley should be drafted for national service in the US Army...

Wow, they called Bush a Nazi. How clever and original of them!
"I am not advocating government censorship, or even necessarily free market retaliation against the films created by these Hollywood leftists"
Glad to hear it... too bad not all 'conservatives' agree. The group that put up those billboards (Citizensunited.org)links to some that don't: Christian Coalition, Concerned Women for America, Family Research Council, Eagle Forum.... All would censor 'Hollywood' if they could; and I think you can tell a good deal about an organization by who they link too. So, count me out. I don't live near enough anyway but I don't particulary care for the company that this group keeps - at least not on this issue I don't.
Major bump!

shut up and leave the hemisphere is the one that works best.
because shut up and get a job wont work if your addicted to the gimmie gimmie gimmie crowd and the shut up and act your age wont work because unfortunatly with their stunted mental life of being provided for, they are acting their age.
so that only leaves plan C.

I'll try to make the rally, Ron. In their faces!
Thankya,thankyavermuch for your service Rondog!
(You ain't nothing but a hound dog;-)
I'll try to make the rally, Ron. In their faces!EXCELLENT, doug!
We expect that SOME the TV cameras, wire service photographers and print journalists will start arriving as early as noon, but MOST of the media attention should be from 3 pm to 5 pm during the Red Carpet ceremonies.The limos should start driving west on Hollywood Blvd (from Wilcox, or Vine) at about 3 pm right past our position in front of the billboard at Hollywood and Whitley.
Our current plan is to have an advance team (led by Ted Hayes and RonDog) arrive at Hollywood and Highland to "stake out" a position near the steel fence facing the Red Carpet arrival area. This area will rapidly be OVERWHELMED by Oscar fans from all across the USA, as they squeeze in to perhaps get a glimpse of their favorite stars arrival...Anyone arriving before noon should attempt to hook up with us there. Ted and I may decide to give up our front row positions to others, who may be able to hold signs.
The SECOND team will gather in front of the billboard at Hollywood and Whitley three blocks east of Highland. Some time around noon, Ted and I will break away from our "front row" positions, and move to join the second team (at Hollywood and Whitley) where we will lead a "parade" down Hollywood, from Whitley to as close to Highland as we can get.We will know more soon.
If I only weren't two thirds of the way across the country.........
Good work.Thanks!Might be nice to have a Meryl Streep sign about Alar.
Our current plans are for ME to dress as "Michael Moore" -- and for TED to dress as "Uncle Sam" -- who will be pummeling me, among other things. :o)
American flags are always a good idea, but flag poles, and lumber over 1/4 inch thick are NOT allowed.Ted LOVES the idea of having as many purple fingers as possible.

We could go as the Sunshine Freepers:
Recall Walter Matheau's famous line from "The Sunshine Boys".
Better, imagine ordering a bunch of these in pink with the word FREEDOM on the index finger and FREE REPUBLIC on the palm?
Dip the index fingers in purple RIT dye.

I liked your story about The Natural; I love that movie too.
I think you're exaggerating though the direction Hollywood is going in. At least regarding 'sex and violence', I think there's less in the movies now than there was decades ago. Much of that has to do with the change to a more conservative political atmosphere in the country as a whole, but also because of political correctness - they sort of get it from both the left and the right now. And to be frank, I think blaming Clinton is kind of ridiculous. It was more 'anything goes' during the eighties than the nineties, imo. The eighties was the heyday of the big, violent action movies and the gorey, slasher flick - both of which always included some nudity or sex. Movies are tamer now IMO. But if its the 'themes' or stories you don't care for then it's up to 'conservatives' to make their own movies, instead of trying to restrict what 'liberals' make - and thats unfortunately what many want to do.
Wish we could join everyone for this!!!! I hope there are LOTS and LOTS of folks there with you.
