| All of Hollywood Doesn't Suck |
| 2006-01-23 |
| There are still a few good guys in Hollywood -- not many, but a few. Gary Sinise is one of them; along with Chuck Heston, Cheryl Ladd, James Woods, Tom Selleck and others. While some simply give a check or a few minutes of their time at a mindless award show, Mr. Sinise has traveled to Iraq not once, not twice but three times in support of USO efforts. |

| #10 Saw a couple of articles on Lucianne.com the other day, but I kept timing out here, so didn't post them. Anyway, ticket sales are down, which means the studios aren't earning as much. Two consequences: 1) Even the big name actors are taking significant up-front pay cuts, and 2) the studios plan to make significantly fewer films over the next few years. Apparently there is a real cost to being totally out of touch with the American zeitgeist. Heh. |

| #9 Duvall makes it and I don't? Don't feel bad, Kevin! "The Postman" was overly long, but basically, it was a story about standing up to tyranny and bringing hope to oppressed people. Yeah! |

| #8 Ann Margret -- Not surprised at all. Met her in 1979. Dove into her eyes and happily drowned. Perfect situation, good wine, perfect weather, a quiet evening on the veranda, no interruptions - and we talked for over an hour. Very Classy Human. My funeral is still on hold, but I shuffled off to heaven more than 26 yrs ago. |

| #1 I refuse to see movies with the others in them. I know it does not have much monitary effect, but I sure feel better, and is that not what movies are for? |
