Academy Awards

Hi IHW,

How are you?

I agree, and although I didn't bother commenting on this movie,
there has been a lot of discussion regarding it,

Click on the link below,

Brokeback Mountain

Later in the other clip they show little part from Green Berets. Anyway I was pleased to see some Dukes films there.

Its just there way of showing just how out of touch Hollywierd is from the realities of everyday life. Lets rip a bunch of old cowboy movies and take the films scenes out of context so we can justify the filth that Broke Back Mtn was. I said it once and I will say it again, Hollywierd is wondering why every year for the past 6-7 years that movie attendance keeps going down in the theaters, well duh , moron's!!!

At the first, doing the gay cowboy clip skit which showed many prominent stars,gregory peck,heston,fonda,stewart and of course our beloved John Wayne in a rather dim light. I feel this was unnecessary for that horrible gay movie to get a jok from

That, and they're really, really boring! Plus I decided to skip it when I realized that King Kong was not nominated for best actor! That's one talented monkey! (Well better than Clooney anway?)

Hi,

And they reckon Clooney is the future of the movie industry!!!

God help us all!!!

I personally had no interest in the oscar either.

I would however be interested in hearing what references to the Duke were made and what film clips of his were used.

The film clips that they used the most of his was "Rio Grande". If there was others it went by really quick and I might have missed them.

I agree w/ ya all. Also IMO, george cLOONEY is one I never have liked even back when this poseur had a part in some TV series as a Doctor. And now especially after the very nasty comments he made about Charlton Heston when he told the media that he too suffers from Alzheimer's Disease. Charlton Heston showed how much class he had in his reply to cLOONEY and he did not use any insulting words in his reply BUT; the message was perfectly clear and I completely agree with him.

Way to go Mr. Heston!!

Clooney is a fine actor. Just needs to stay out of politics. Well, maybe not that, but I don't agree with his politics. I don't like all his movies, but he does fine in some. I haven't seen all his movies.

If we were to like or dislike the ones who disagree with our politics, then we wouldn't be going to the movies at all. So, Clooney is entitled to his opinions as we are. Choosing to see his movies or not is your choice.

Cheers B)

Hi IHW, I do not know where Charlton Heston's reply can be found on the net. I heard it from one of thoese Entertainment shows that are on TV stations. In fact, I think I heard it mentioned on the show that has Debra Norville as its hostess. If not that one, then it had to be on the E Entertainment Network.

Best regards -- Carl.

Hi Hondo, i'm sorry but, I simply just cannot stand clooney. Now, it might help if this guy would make some sort of an apology to Charlton Heston. until that happens, I will never support anything that clooney does.

This is also like: I cannot stand Kevin Costner's acting but, that does not mean I dislike him.

IHW and Ringo,

I found this article that tells what George Clooney said (REALLY tacky remark!!), and reference to Mr. Heston's reply. He may have Alzheimer's disease, but judging by his reply, he's not too far along yet !

Chester & the Mrs. thank you for that link. The quote that was posted is the one I am talking about.

Charlton Heston's reply: "It just goes to show that sometimes class does skip a generation."

Darn right!!!!

To clarify, I have always been a Costner Fan, have I liked all his films? No, some have been extremely bad.. But I do like his baseball movies as I am a fan of baseball. And I do like him when he does westerns. Sorry for the hijack......

Hi All

Yes Clooney's sad comment is indicative of the "clever" arrogance that is around these days especially from an actor who has made about 1 and half reasonable films and he seems to like wielding a fire arm in one or two films...or perhaps Dusk to Dawn does not count!!)

George Clooney has seriously gone down in my estimation!

He is probably on a high due to the academy's...praise for his wonderful !!!!! new film! LOL

The likes of Clooney and others ought to consider the way they peddle and push their own issues....gays...aids...etc with an almost fascist ( and I MEAN fascist if you don't agree with them!), zeal...before they can find room to comment on a man who purely believes in the right of people to be able to arm themselves because after all...there are quite a few burglars...muggers etc...that don't exactly hit you with their handbag!
