OK folks, caption the dork:

And don't miss the following

Dustin Hoffman : "Death of an Acting Career"

[weegee]

"This is what I get for letting Barbra Streisand run the teleprompter..."

[lainie]

Maybe this explains a little. No doubt he respects and admires this woman:

[PBRSTREETGANG]

So "I am Sam" and "Rainman" are against the war. I'm personally waiting for "Nell", "The Other Sister" and "Benny and Joon" to weigh in before I can make an informed decision on whether we should invade Iraq.

'...about oil."
Bet he doesn't stop driving his gas-guzzling Caddy SUV or riding in those fuel hogging limos? Two faceism (is that a word?) is a real mantra with so many of these hollyweird types.
Hey Dustin, Confucius said "A liar must have a good memory." Better work on yours... YOU PUTZ!

Looks like Dustin is now on my list of actors whose movies I won't see or purchase.

Hey, I've got a list like that goin', also! Lately, it's getting longer and longer. :)

[weegee]

Don't forget heating oil...

[lainie]

It's actually nice of them to come right out and let us all know unequivocally who they are, isn't it?

[valleygal]

Yes!. It's making life much easier for me LOL! Not too mention, I'm spending less time watching movies. They are doing us a great service.

[muleskinner]

Is that "Bug-Eye" Susan?

[cavtrooper21]

Heating oil? Dustin just flies south for the winter, in his private jet!

[lainie]

Yeap. Sure is.

[valleygal]

I've got two captions, "Tootsie's on a Roll" or how about"Papillion 2, The Return"(as in please go back, Dustin).

Aren't you named after one of his most memorable lines? (That plaintive wail while pounding on the glass window in the church), "Elaine, Elaine, Elaine...!!! :)

[SerpentDove]

I like Mad Magazine's spoof of his name:

DUSTBIN HOFFMAN

[irv]

It amazes me how someone can be so talented

He was working on a movie (I forget the title) where he had to appear like he'd been through hell. He went for days without bathing or eating or changing clothes in order to get into the part. His co-star - Sir Lawrence Olivier - observing all this shook his head and said, "Why doesn't he just act?"

[aruanan]

Why should I pay any attention to a totally believable endive salad?

[aruanan]

"I believe... that this war is about what most wars are about: hegemony, money, power and oil."

Hey, Dustin! What was Ishtar about?

[Indiana Girl]

Dustin made more sense when he was Rainman.
