Bacall----That was sad....they needed a noir actress...there must be other veteran noir actors still alive and functional.

I always post this reminder from the best:

"I never said all actors are cattle; what I said was all actors should be treated like cattle" Lord Alfred Hitchcock

[t2buckeye]

Sorry...but George Clooney is NOT a great actor! I didn't see Syriana, but he was wooden and awful in "The Perfect Storm"...was LOUSY as Batman...and though he is good looking, is almost as bad as Keanu Reeves

I googled her and went to the Village Voice where they said she had trouble reading the teleprompter. Doesn't she have
a pair of glasses?

[uncitizen]

I like ya, Reese, but don't try to give us the po' girl from the south without shoes routine.

Yeah. I like Reese too. But that "i was born poor in Tennessee; didn't have shoes til i was 12 years old shtick strictly and rightfully belongs to Dolly Parton".

Jon Stewart was great. Every other time I looked he was sending another volley across the Hollywood liberal's bow.

I agree. Jon Stewart really put it to 'em last night. It was so funny to me. I laughed at all the jokes that his audience didn't laugh at. He blasted em left and right.

[joebuck]

you'll get no argument here.

"We are the ones who talked about AIDS when it was just a gay disease," he said.

As it still is thanks to your not treating it like a venereal disease!

The most ironic award: "Brokeback Mountain" won for Best Score

Okay, that's a funny line.

The fact that a "song" called It's hard being a pimp out there won an Oscar for Best Song says about all you need to know about the direction Hollywood is going.

[LibertarianLiz]

How were the ratings? I really wanna hear that it was the lowest-watched show in years.

Preliminary numbers indicate it is the second-lowest rated Oscar show. The lowest rated was a couple of years ago when Chicago won for Best Picture.

It did drop about 10% from the 2005 numbers.

[shield]

Didn't watch it...did catch best actor, actress and picture. I hoped and prayed the homo sheepherders...they're called shepherds...not cowboys...wouldn't win...and it didn't THANK THE LORD...watching a group of traitors in hollyweirdo is no longer my bag of good entertainment...

"I googled her and went to the Village Voice where they said she had trouble reading the teleprompter. Doesn't she have a pair of glasses?

If that's true and it was about her inability to read the teleprompter, it makes me curious to ask whether she showed up and was part of the rehearsal. They do have a rehearsal. Golly, didn't she practice reading her lines earlier in the day or the day before? She's a pro, so I wonder what happened to her.

>Remember when Hollywood had mystique and glamour and was the wellspring of entertainment

I wasn't around
back then, but I believe that
it was all a lie.

>The Ben Stiller schtik was the worst tv moment I've seen in years

"It's gone way beyond that. About 35% of HIV transmission in this country is now heterosexual."


May I ask where you found that statistic?

[Michael.SF.]

I guess sometimes you see what you want to see and sometimes you don't.

I fully expected John "whtashisname", it is Stewart by the way to be political. He was not. He was fair and even handed. Best joke of the night was his comment after the "w/o giving to the Democratic Party line" when he said it was the first time "most of you have voted for a winner."

Stewart was humorous with being embarassing (Goldberg, Letterman), he was serious when needed to be and respectful of the audience. This was an awards show and not a Friar's roast, after all.

Best/worst Hosts of recent times (IMHO):

1. Billy Crystal
2. John Stewart

Worst of recent times:
1. Letterman 2. Goldberg

the worst tv moment I've seen in years

That is a bit of an over statement, unless you do not watch much TV. I can think of a few 'worse' moments:

CBS News w/ Dan Rather

Sixty Minutes (Every Sunday)

The Democratic Convention

Skating with the Stars.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

That may be, but the spread of it is spread nonetheless by rape, anal sex, drug use, and otherwise immoral behavior.

[mupcat]

but the spread of it is spread nonetheless by rape, anal sex, drug use, and otherwise immoral behavior.

Just what I said. Outside of the rape these are personal choices whether homosexual or heterosexual, and actually rape is the only behavior out of the four listed which is not by choice.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

rape is the only behavior out of the four listed which is not by choice.

For the victim, that is.
