Acting out - Hollywood antiwar sentiment is loud and clear. And so is the opposition

I had a couple cousins in Vietnam (1 Marine, 1 Army) for that reason alone, I hate Hanoi Jane. Living in a military town, it is easy to see the damage that evil shemale did. Grrrrrrr!

Ha! I got you beat, I think! LOL. The first movie the VN war veteran I still live with today took me to see was "Good Morning, Vietnam" in 1988, I think. The second and last movie we saw "in" a theater was just a few years after that. Some old geezers fishing through the ice up in MN, LOL - Walter Mathou & Jack Lemmon starred. LMAO!!!

Haven't been to a movie theater since; and don't care to put up with it. Geeze, first off the price of the whole evening - you can sure do better than that staying home and being awhole lot more comfortable than being upright in a theater seat.

Ok for singles/new dates. I sure don't get why others go to theaters. Except for the new releases - ? Well, my thought is, how fast do folks have to see them, anyway?

Good movies prevail. They come out on other venues, besides the newest box office hit. I viewed box office hits when I was in my twenties.

Good, new movies make it to satellite/cable within a year or so, I think; but I could be wrong about the date.

TCM is a GREAT classic channel to watch!

Hi, I agree, Mail Call is a great show!

I think he really knows his military stuff, and adds military humor, from one of those that were already there and served.

Even if the country goes to war and Americans rally around the President, Levinson said, the celebrities who advised against it aren't likely to suffer long-term effects.

They might win another Oscar and not lose their Hollywood friends, but I firmly believe these stars are going to suffer at the box office, because people like myself WILL boycott certain actors. And I am not the only one and I firmly believe we add up.

Hollywood was never angry with Jane Fonda. She sat on the guns that shot down our pilots, pranced in front of rooms where our sons and fathers were tortured, and Hollywood was never upset with her. The public was angry, but never the "STARS" (Stupid Tarts And Radical Scum)

Jane Fonda, who won an Oscar for Klute in 1971, and sparked outrage the next year when she went to Hanoi to protest the Vietnam War. Her career went into eclipse, but by 1978 all was forgiven and she won another Oscar, for Coming Home.

Don't hold back, Mr. Ermey. Tell us how you REALLY feel! LOL!!

You can also take movies out from many libraries.

That's what I do. I like free. Free is good.
