I just watched the Will Ferrell vid. I didn’t even know who the other “stars” were. It was so lame, it was almost funny.

At SciFi “Cons” I have met more than a few “celebrities”. I don’t hate them. I am just monumentally unimpressed by most of them.

I think you have identified the problem. Studio heads are rolling, not because of their politics, Roman Polanski, or the half-wit stars. The problem is that they are making lousy movies that no one wants to see.

I always, thanks to Netflix, run the remake back to back with the original.
The Pelham 123 original was funny and quirky with a great “aha!” ending. Movies now have to be big and violent and build to a massive climax. They’re just dumb and boring!

You know things are bad when an evening of old British TV series like “Yes Minister” and “Yes, Prime Minister” is head and shoulders above the latest Hollywood blockbuster.
Heck, an evening with The IT Crowd or Father Ted is more fun.

I never wanted to become one of those old fuddy-duddies who reveled in the good old days.
However, here I am!
After cringing through the profanity in movies now, and spending hours trying to select age-appropriate materials for my grandchildren, I have had it!
Put them all out of work!

And instead of giving away Spanx and a La Mystere bra to her audience, she could’ve given bookbags and coats to students.

I still don’t understand why she overlooked Chicago schoolchildren like that. She could’ve accomplished so much just by lending her name to a project.

She can’t get a date, she doesn’t appear to bathe and now she is unleashing her bitching and moaning on the world. What a sad little tattooed nightmare.

Well, here’s the deal. Charity begins at home. I don’t see many of them investing money (other than Branelina in New Orleans) in the USA. I won’t support anyone like Ophrey giving her millions to Africa while Chicago remains a cesspool…or Detroit a burned out hulk.

Per Red Eye on Fox, Nut Job Number 2 is referred to as “that sad little tattooed person”. Seems right.

Isn’t it funny (and I don’t mean humorous) that celebrities who earn millions, and who could easily help an entire village without too big a dent to their wallets, campaign for the Joe Plumbers of this nation to help out their fellow men while they sit in their Hollywood mansions and pat themselves on the back for doing a frickin 30 second PSA?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may have made some lame movies, but they are out there helping rebuild New Orleans. When the rest of Hollywood can show some selflessness, I might consider listening to their opinions. (And Oprah opening a school in Africa with her name on it does not count. That is advertising, pure and simple.)

So, I look at Drudge and here it is. A financial times article “Hollywood braced for budget cuts”. Welcome to change. Hope we get our country back. Because, I don’t think making movies in Venezuela pays very well.

We need to boycott Hollywood. No movie tickets and no DVD sales until they get it. How will we know? We will get one of these ads apologizing for their arrogance. Until then, no more.

On a lighter note there is this cartoon. Breakfast of Chumpions. Juvenile… maybe yes. But also therapeutic.

WHY DOES THIS WOMEN, THINK SHE IS A AUTHORITY ON ANYTHING AT ALL?

Maybe they are all showing up on the Keith Blowhard, one hour special comment tonight, on health care reform. Can you imagine, an hour of that crap?
