Iowahawk is Crowder.  Crowder is Iowahawk.

“Orlando Bloom’s dad…”  That was funny.

Didn’t they have anything more form-fitting for Miss Beale?

Another gimmick from Stiller.  Shocker.

Are they remaking the Addams Family again?

I’m off to get a sandwich and to get this guy his “puffer”.

Jen:  Hi, Brad.  You look well.

Wolverine sings!

I like this guy.  The guy from “The Visitor”.  He was good in that other movie.  The one with Ben Stiller, the Arquette girl and the guy from “The Warriors”.

RDJr. in “Tropic Thunder” = Fricken’ brilliant.  Hope he wins.

Is that Paul Rudd doing a character?

HD and lots of pancake don’t mix.  They shouldn’t have postponed the national transition to HD.  

On a side note… do they really think the people that weren’t ready in February will be ready in June?

J.R. Head reporting for duty.  Let’s light this candle, already.

I imagine this question will be heard in homes across America in years to come. And why not? We’ve been told by Hollywood that members of our military are rapists, cold blooded killers, and more. They are taking part in an illegal war, bombing villages and torturing innocents. I mean, why would they make movies about such things if they weren’t true?

I’m constantly amazed by the attitudes of some in our industry toward the military. Personally, the fact that I’m a former Marine is often met with incredulity. Apparently, I’m “pretty cool for a Marine” and I “seem so normal”. My favorite is the look on someone’s face when they ask, “Why would you join the Marines?” while they visually inspect for some previously undetected mental defect.

Being both an actor and a veteran allows me to come at this issue from a different angle. I know the men and women that we, in this industry, often portray. To say that, thus far, we have done them a disservice is an understatement.

It would be a travesty to allow our brave men and women serving in the Global War on Terror to be remembered in the way they are currently being represented by the films coming out of Hollywood. The extended families of our military members number in the millions. We’re basically telling them that their loved ones (their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters) are pieces of shit. Not only is this reprehensible, it’s not good business.
