HAS ANYBODY SAID IT YET? BOYCOTT THE OSCARS (Oscars Live Thread)
3-4-06 | freedom4me

Posted on 03/05/2006 1:43:20 PM PST by freedom4me

I suppose on this thread it goes without saying, but I'll say in anyway...BOYCOTT THE OSCARS tonight.

I want the ratings for this year's program go into the toilet (where most the nominated movies belong). I won't waste my money to see the films, my electricity to watch the Oscars, or my time watching to witness Hollywood's self-adulation fest.

Pass it on...

Who has won what so far, and that about sums the whole thing up.

Here is his quote from snopes:

U.S. director Robert Altman, in France to promote his latest film Dr. T and the Women, said yesterday he would move to France if George W. Bush wins the American presidential election in November. Altman said he normally did not comment on politics at home, but thought a Republican victory "would be a catastrophe for the whole world." "If George Bush is elected president, I'm leaving for France.'' Altman said he disagreed with Bush's plans to cut taxes and raise military spending.

IIRC, "Black Hawk Down" was toned down from the book as far as references to the Clinton administrations incompetence in the whole affair.

You've got to cut the broads some slack. Hollywood is playing on the other team this year, and boobs and lips are definitely OUT. Ironic, after all the silicone and botox work.

Like much of Hollywood, he's overrated and way full of himself. What was that awful movie == King something?

F & G was brilliant! Each of the actors went on to other shows but never achieved that same level they had on that show. Sad!

It's hard out here for a pimp. Are they for real? Sounds like it should be from "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka."

That film pisses me off every time I watch it. Not because of the content, because we all know the ending, but because I feel that Hollywood media loved to film and tell that story.


When I see that movie I think of 17 Rangers who were killed needlessly........Mike Durant said most of that movie is correct and it is a very important film.....it should remind people to chose wisely on their ballot....he is a Republican and loves Bush...
