VIGGO MORTENSEN WAS AT THE DC RALLY?????!!!!!!
Oh my lusting heart I did not know....I would have had front row for that hottie if I knew he was at the rally. He recited a poem that he wrote for the peace.

My heart is full of lust as I am watching him on CSPAN!!!

3. He tossed T-Shirts out to the audience
then the guy almost didn't let him speak. I would have stopped going to the rallies with International Answer if they allowed that to happen.

Someone cleanup the drool that is covering my keyboard

32. He tossed the whole garbage bag at once after the first couple ones!
That's when the poop hit the air moving device. It was like a mob scene

8. Multiple DUers
Being right in front of the stage, managed to grab some. I won't mention their names, lest they be stalked for, but they were quite lovely and looked hand-created.

He was looking very blonde and clean-cut today. Mmmmmm.

They're sold out now, but they were selling them at cost for $10 this spring. I got one. :-)

If you're not familiar with his site, go here:

I just don't know how to get them to where you can access them, so maybe i will just burn a bunch of CDs and mail them to whomever sends me a blank CD and an address!

6. I'm probably
old enough to be his mother but he is the main reason I sit down and watch LOTR over and over with my son. Yup, I do not know what he looks like in normal life but that long hair looks mighty fine on him.

31. Too funny...
I was trying to figure out where I knew him from, and I got a Tshirt after dragging about 300lbs of aggressive horny female about 20 yards. I got the shirt and gave her one, too. Then I was so ashamed of myself for diving in the middle of that mess at a PEACE rally of all things!! Hope they didn't catch that on CSPAN!!! Bring Home the Troops! Gimme that @#$%^ Shirt, bitch!! hahaha! I thought Viggo was in a rock group...Duh!!

By the way, I don't think I got the chance to meet you, everyone said, LynnSin is here!!

I've got some pics from the rally and you may be in some of those with the DUers...I cannot figure out how to post them, but did manage to burn them on CD.

XXXXOOOO

who's on the correct side.

HI, Mr. Hat. Welcome to the DU :toast:. We hope you will find here all the answers to your questions which the media ignores.

It should really be called the "Democratic Above-Ground", as in "Above-Board". We have the facts here.

19. I don't see the attraction
He looks so plastic and pampered. Good for a lay and an autograph maybe but I'd take a real man over such a fake anyday.

Sex with stars is overrated. Empty comes to mind.

20. Yearly eye exams are recommended...
Especially as you get along in years.

Last time I looked, he appeared to be a real man--no plastic there.

22. I Got Over Viggo Last Winter
Between his off-camera insistence on mumbling, and the "I am a sensitive artist" personna, I am now celebrity crush-less.

Damian (Damien?) Lewis is starting to look real good.

23. Yeah, but he hates Dumbo--that oughta make you swoon!
I agree, in the out-takes from LOTR, when someone messed up, they started laughing, but when there was a mistake with one of Viggo's scenes, he was all flustered, you know, hated to break the artist's mood, etc.

Still, he hates Dumbo.

24. Well Yeah There's That
I haven't seen the out-takes, was more referring to his tendency to go overboard in describing art on an intellectual level. Just let me feel it, fer chrissakes.

27. You must not know much about Viggo --
Edited on Sun Oct-26-03 01:11 PM by Hell Hath No Fury
he is NO plastic, pampered man, he is the real deal -- a man of integrity and principle, incredibly talented in many artistic disciplines, outspoken in his oppostion to Bush and his actions.

Now, your idea of a "real" man wouldn't be someone like GW, would it? Hmmm?

Edited on Mon Oct-27-03 08:18 PM by Hawkseyeblue
You don't see the attraction.
Okay. That's your call, though I disagree. You think he's too deep with his comments about art, okay, though I also disagree.
But plastic and pampered?! That ain't fair. He criticizes only when he has an informed opinion, and we should all do the same. I'm not in the habit of defending celebrities, but it's clear you know ZILCH about this man, so allow me to enlighten you a little. Anybody who has ever meant him can feel how genuine he is. There's zero bs--he practically refuses to talk about himself and instead asks all sort of questions about you, to make you feel special. He stays till all hours of the night at art shows to sign autographs, with no water or bathroom breaks. I've seen him help get wheelchairs up steps so that his handicapped fans can also enjoy the art. Until it got so overwhelming in 2002 that he politely asked fans to stop writing, as he didn't feel it was fair to them to write if he just couldn't answer all of the letters--until that point he answered EVERY SINGLE letter that he got. And trust me--plastic and pampered people would a)not be called 'no ego Viggo' by their castmates, b) wander around perpetually barefoot and c) plastic insinuates he would have had that scar repaired on his upper lip, but he hasn't, because he doesn't give a %(*^%(. His family, friends and art are his life. Appearance means nothing to him, which is why you never see him in anything 'stylish.' He wears what feels good and not what the designers make or expect him to wear.
I'll end my rant now, but really, this is one of the few Hollywood people that I truly admire and wholeheartedly RESPECT, far far beyond looks, for his candor, integrity and complete lack of a false front. And besides--anyone who stands up to the Presidential Shrub family is okay in my book. :) !

45. Re: I don't see the attraction, part 2
Thought I'd add one more thing to back up my point. And this is only one of countless quotes that say the same thing about his integrity and total honesty:

"All great artists reveal themselves more in their work than in interviews. Every time Viggo's in front of the camera or picks up a pen or a canvas or a camera, he's opening the door to his heart. This is where he's telling you the secrets of his life...Viggo cannot strike a fake note. I say with absolute experience that if he doesn't believe it, he won't do it."
Philip Ridley (director of The Reflecting Skin and The Passion of Darkly Noon)

26. YEP, AND I GOT ONE OF THE T-SHIRTS
all the DUers whow were together were standing not 10 feet from him when he threw them out.

His poem was great, and his comments to the counter-protesting Jeebus freaks was very cool

48. I was just in for the day with the Delaware team
Since I went to RBNYC's party at the beginning of the year I opted to take the DE bus to DC. Plus I didn't get back from New Orleans until late Friday.

But I did run into some of you

:D
