"No more blood for oil.Wasn't that the mantra for Gulf War I?

Did the second half of the shirt say "DRILL ANWR"?
To: WaterDragon
What a moron. I wish I hadn't seen this until after I had seen the movie.
Another idiot from Hollywood. That's about the last thing this country needs.

Ol' Viggo has a longstanding case of Foot-in-Mouth.
To: WaterDragon
Well everybody knows this whole "evil ring of power" business was just a scheme cooked up by those fat cats in Gondor and the Shire to gain control of Mordor's valuable geothermal energy sources and exploit the oppressed Orc races.

Ok, and actor, who has already been paid for his work, has silly views, so I am supposed to boycott this movie because of it? Charlton Heston worked in movies with liberals. I am confused.. Should I still watch them because he is in them, or should their liberalism cancel that out?
I will be in line at 11:30 Tuesday night waiting to get into the midnight showing. If anybody seriously thinks that by not watching this movie, they are standing up for the war in Iraq, be my guest. This guy is an actor. I don't know if my mechanic, my banker, or my grocery clerk support Bush's policies in the gulf, I just care if they do their job.
Oye vey. I heard that the janitor at Krispy Kreme is not in favor of Fast Track Authority for NAFTA, I better go to Dunkin Donuts this morning...

The idiots trying to change the message of what is shaping up as the greatest movie of all time, delivered at the perfect time, will succeed only in destroying their own reputations.
Last year it was Ian trying to trash the movie. This year its Viggo. So what? The movie is a lot bigger than the petty actors who are trying to trash their own greatest accomplishments.
Let 'em. I'll still enjoy the movie. Many times. I just won't watch Viggo in whatever else he may come out with.
To: WaterDragon
I think it would be cutting off our nose to spite their faces. There are a lot of good messages in these stories. Young people are paying a lot of attention to these messages. Just this one idiot shouldn't make them a wash. Just boycott all other Vitto Mortenson works.

elija wood has one facial expression throughout the film: like he took a dump in his pants and is afraid someone will notice.

Ahem, Viggo.
To: WaterDragon
He went on to compare the terrible thing we did recently in Afghanistan with the terrible thing we did in WWII.
I wonder what those were? Someone should remind Viggo of the old saying,
"It's better to keep your mouth closed and have people think you a fool, than open it and confirm it."

The actors are making it difficult for me to enjoy these movies that I look forward to.
To: WaterDragon
Yet another reason that actors should never speak unless they have a script. The get so much money and adulations that they begin to think that they are actually capable of thinking. Kind of like a certain Kennedy who was so used to being told he was great that he thought he could fly a plane in trickly conditions. Mortenson is a good actor, he should stick to acting and leave the thinking to those who are equipped for it.

The man is allowed to have opinions, and he is allowed to express those opinions. While I do not agree with the sentiments and "thought processes" behind this one -and, indeed, consider them infantile or duplicitous- I will not say that he insults either my country or Dr. Tolkein. Also, since he is a fine swordsman, I am willing to cut him some small amount of slack. Personal bias on my part.
However, we are also permitted opinions, and permitted expression. I am very tired of seeing this "No more BLOOD for OIL!" bushwah, so I propose the following:
NO MORE BLOOD FOR ISLAM!!!
E-mail it to him, to P.Jackson, to mediot websites, post it everywhere the ant-war infants gather. I will this eveneing try to craft a t-shirt layout and a bumpersticker format of this new mantra and put it up on my web page. Any who so desire will then be able to download them and use them for whatever purpose they desire. Personally, I think it'd be appropriate if several tens of thousands of individual FReepers had T-shirts made with this mantra and sent them to Mr. Mortenson's home address. Can you imagine his reaction?

Aragorn is a liberal. Gandalf is gay. Elrond is constipated.
It's still a darn fine story and a darn fine movie.
Sorry. I won't boycott something I love just because someone's an idiot.
To: WaterDragon
Well...now I'll only see Two Towers once, instead of three times, at the theater.
This kind of ridiculousness is just bad business on the part of hollywood. I mean, people seek film and entertainment as an escape...not to beat over the head by some narcissitic idiot's misery...how annoying. Bastard.
Thanks for the information.
Best Regards,

There's oil in Mordor.

Perhaps being exposed to the Ring of Power's vicinity in the last episode has turned him towards the dark side of the DEMONCRATS & BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS.
