Will tomorrow bring more RW attack on "Hollywood"
for honoring the Million Dollar Baby?

And will they be offended by Chris Rock "praising" Bush for keeping his job in spite of such major screw ups that would lead most of us to lose our jobs?

2. I haven't seen MDB.
Why would the RW attack Hollywood (any more than usual) over it?

Rock was positively tame re Bush, don't you think? The Idiot Boy got off easy!

8. Fundies hate MDB....
It has a very unexpected twist at the end that goes against their religious beliefs. That's all I can pretty much tell you in this thread. If you want the spoiler, just PM me and I'll tell you what happens.

5. Yeah, I'm sure Michael "I'm smarter than anyone else" Medved
will rip on it. He's been leading the moronic attacks on Hollywood.
Did you ever notice that all of these Radical Right radio nerds is some kind of former lame dj or even lamer former film critic?

6. Indeed. Spouse thought that now Medved would shut up
no way, I responded. This would just juice him further about how "morally corrupt" Hollywood is.

As I was watching the show, with all the flashback of movies of the past, I was thinking how right Tim Robbins was the other day, on Bill Maher show, saying that Hollywood reflects us, not dictating to us or too distance from us.

7. The frosting on the cake was Babs at the very end
Streisand makes them grind their teeth like nobody else (except the Clintons). I loved seeing those two Librul Hollywood Jews give the top award. And then all those blacks - rappers even - and people talking and singing in Spanish. I imagined mouths foaming all across the country. :)

13. I thought the same thing
English spoken w/ a variety of accents; all that brown skin and then Barbra & Dustin. It was rich.

the only part of the show that I saw, was when Carlos Santana was on with Antonio Bandara. That was very nice. Mmm...

10. Republican spouted about diversity during the campaign just to get the
vote but I bet they are upset about Jamie Fox winning Best Actor for "Ray".
I know the religious right didn't like MDB but did they say anything about the movie about the woman who performed abortions ... what was the name of it?

15. Yes. he RW hated MDB for two reasons: welfare family and pulling the plug
I thought that Vera Drake deserved more nominations and awards. The acting was subpurb. But I am sure that there will be many complaints coming from the right just because people were having a good time.

20. Actually, the RW hated MDB for a third reason

A woman who boxes. Women are not supposed to learn to fight back against their male oppressors in their fundie, patriarchal scheme. We're supposed to take whatever the male dishes out because Mr. Macho can do no wrong and Ms. Feminist can do no right in their twisted worldview.

Edited on Mon Feb-28-05 08:05 AM by liberalpress
...he left Eastwood pretty much alone, except to say that Eastwood as a republican was a Hollywood "outsider."
