Redford thinks he still matters and demands U.S. apology for Iraq
2007-01-20
This political demand for a Presidential 'apology' was his keynote speech for the opening of the Sundance Film Festival, after which he instructed the festival attendees to put on their "Focus on Film" buttons. Lame, lame, lame.

#25  I know Sterling Van Waganen, co-founder of the Sundance Film Festival. I may call him and ask what he thinks of Ole' Bob politicising the Festival.

#23  While we are piling on: The Electric Horseman

Not only Redford, but bonus star Hanoi Jane Fonda. Not the one where she sits on an anti-aircraft gun, tho.

#21  Another leftover lefty. Looks worn down like Jimmah. No one gives a half shit about your idiot opinions Redford. Glad to see your little fest is degenerating as fast as you are. Crawl back under your rock for another year.

#15  In Phoenix, Arizona we have the display of human cadeavors. They preserve the bodies through a process and it looks interesting. I could've swore Redford was one of them.

#14  Redford owes the US an apology for An Indecent Proposal.

#13  What is he still doing in the US?? Did'nt he say if Bush was elected he would move to Canada? Time for him to GTF out of the US.

#12  Sure, Bob. Right after I get my apology for "The Way We Were".
By the way, Bob. You really haven't aged well...

#11  Spot on Mike!

Damn hypocrites need to put up, or shut up and perform like the trained monkeys they are.

#10  So that guy that was in Jerimiah Johnson voiced an opinion that I'm supposed to take seriously?
I don't think so, he's as big a lefty jackass as Martin Sheen. You don't see either one of those guys parting with their truckloads of cash to further the common good - therefore they're hippocrites which voids any opinion they manage to drool out.
Shut up and perform little monkey.

#9  "I think we're owed a big, massive apology."

Nah, Quayle was more erudite than that.

#5  division of theater and state

#2  As honest injun as ALL THE PRSIDENT'S MEN came out in 1977, now back to 1976.

#1  hmmm, division of church and state.
maybe we need a division too of theater and state.

I dislike having actors use their fame to speak out, and that folks actually listen and give a rats ass

it taints memories of old time movies for me. I don't think I'll ever be able to watch an old Redford movie again without getting angry about the politic'ing crap.
