DELICATE MOVIES IMPORTANT
Sigourney Weaver—an official member of Brave Hollywood—speaks her mind:
I think Hillary Clinton would make a very good president—I think the reason she’ll lose is because she’s a woman and because she was the first lady, and that’s a shame. America’s in a really weird macho phase right now and I think that’s one reason why all these smaller, more delicate movies like Brokeback Mountain are important. The fact that they’re so popular is sending a nice message. Of course, our president still hasn’t bothered to see Brokeback but he will be continued to be asked about it, I’m sure.
Bush hasn’t bothered to see it? Impeachment is more likely by the minute. It’s a “nice message” Sigourney sends about weird machoism and “delicate” movies; here’s a sample of non-macho quotes from Weaver’s own small, delicate cinema career:
“Get away from her, you bitch!”
—Aliens“You like this ring? You want to keep the hand this ring is on? If I see or hear or smell you anywhere near my gorillas, you’ll be writing with your other hand and I’ll have a new ashtray.”
—Gorillas in the Mist“Look, I have ONE job on this lousy ship. It’s STUPID, but I’m gonna do it, OKAY?”
—Galaxy Quest“I know all about you. You’re just a sad, second rate, boring, impotent little copycat.”
—Copycat
C’mon, Sigourney—go small and delicate, already. Like Hillary’s bridge-support ankles.
Obviously, since he’s not seeking re-election, there’s no need to court the gay cowboy vote. Pure cynicism.
Posted by rick mcginnis on 2006 02 12 at 12:55 PM • permalinkWell, she was promoting what looks like an unwatchable Canadian arthouse movie, so that probably fits her definition of “smaller, more delicate movies”.
Personally, I’d rather see her do Ghostbusters III. If she is going to stick to arthouse movies, could she at least do something with lots of nudity? Say what you want about Sigourney Weaver, she’s still a fine looking woman.
Sigourney is calling macho behavior “weird” is the pot calling the kettle black.
Maybe she’s upset that she wasn’t offered a role in “Brokeback Mountain”?
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2006 02 12 at 01:09 PM • permalinkOf course, our president still hasn’t bothered to see Brokeback but he will be continued to be asked about it, I’m sure.
Continue to be asked about it? Has he ever been asked about it? And if he has been ... why, exactly? The media are always grumping about how inaccessible President Bush is. What kind of journalistic idiot wastes a hard-won opportunity to query the leader of the free world on a question about a stupid movie?
She did call him ‘our president,’ though. If the moonbats notice that slip, she’ll be paying for it.
Don’t forget, Sigourney has a special insight into Hillary! because she (Signourney) played a first lady in Dave. As for Bush “not bothering” to see Brokeback Mountain, well, neither have I: so sue me.
Posted by Urbs in Horto on 2006 02 12 at 01:25 PM • permalinkAnd before I forget, from the original article, The Alien Killer™ sayeth:
...I think Hillary Clinton would make a very good president - I think the reason she’ll lose is because she’s a woman and because she was the first lady, and that’s a shame.
Hillary would lose because she’s a greedy, self-centered and self-serving politician with all the warmth of an angry cobra. And she would lose because most American voters can see right through her very thin facade.

Don’t give up your dream, Sigourney. That’s what America is all about.
Posted by Mystery Meat on 2006 02 12 at 01:54 PM • permalinkIs that the latest scandal du jour? That Bush hasn’t been to see Bareback Mountain? A picture so damned dishonest it can’t even admit its homosexuality in its own advertising?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 02 12 at 01:59 PM • permalinkNot only that, richard, but it’s about sheepherders, not cowboys.
Posted by Some0Seppo on 2006 02 12 at 02:05 PM • permalinkSomeOSeppo — I don’t understand. If you have a sheep, what’s Jake Gyllenhaal’s attraction?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 02 12 at 02:16 PM • permalinkSigourney Weaver? Isin’t that Cindy Sheehan in drag? I understand media whore Cindy is going to camp outside of the President’s ranch and keep asking that question over and over again until he comes out and tells the American people when he’s going to see Humper Mountain. Screw the war on Terrorism. Let’s go to the movies.
I liked her in Galaxy Quest. I think one could make the argument that today’s Hollywood poseurs are the Galaxy Quest crew writ large - coming from an utterly fake environment, they’re thrust into an incomprehensible reality, to stumble around and fight evil forces they only vaguely understand.
I doubt they’ll be as successful as the GQ crew, though.
I reckon that if entertainers wish to subject us to their expertise in politics then entertainers should be subjected to politicians demonstrating their expertise at entertainment.
So sit back Sigourney and enjoy the musical renditions of Alexander Downer and Colin Powell.
Only then might they begin to understand.
Posted by Margos Maid on 2006 02 12 at 05:02 PM • permalinkOnly someone inside the Hollywood bubble could think “delicate” is a good way to describe Brokeback Mountain, which was directed by a famous director (not some indie up-and-comer), has an ad campaign that makes the one for entire Star Wars franchise look subtle, and has been nominated for just about every Oscar category that exists, except possibly the one for best dance routine in a musical.
Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2006 02 12 at 05:09 PM • permalinkWhat are these chattering Leftoids gonna have to talk about when Bush is gone???
They’ll have to invent another monster.
No matter who’s in the White House, left or right, the U.S. President is automatically, reflexively vilified by these completely mindless frauds.
I think I’ll refer to them as Leunigs from now on.No Brian, the Hollywood leftoids just loved Bill Clinton, and his lip biting. Don’t you remember the picture of two of them joyously jumping on the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom, like a couple of ditzy teenage girls on a sleepover? Bill is their kinda guy. Of course, he did not pay any attention to the substantive business of government, but then neither do the moonbat, airheaded, Hollywood leftoids.
Posted by Michael Lonie on 2006 02 12 at 08:51 PM • permalinkA little OM, but has EVERYBODY forgotten Clinton’s bombing of civilians in Christian Belgrade in the interests of the Mahommentan Albanians? Earned him and the US a lot of gratitude from the Mahommetan world.
Posted by Susan Norton on 2006 02 12 at 10:12 PM • permalinkNo, Susan, I haven’t forgotten. Nor have others. But between the selective memory and short attention span of the Islamonuts and their western apologists, that part of history has been conveniently set aside.
Yet more hypocrisy from our opponents.

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 02 13 at 02:25 AM • permalinkWhen are these dumb as dogshit mummers ever going to shut up?
Paint your face, stand where you are told, speak what you read in the script, then bugger off home and stop annoying everyone with your “opinions”.
Posted by Pedro the Ignorant on 2006 02 13 at 12:45 PM • permalinkOn Thursday the 16th, I’ll celebrate four years of not having attended, rented or ordered a movie. To paraphrase Sinatra’s HIgh Hopes, whoops there goes another seven percent.

“Choose your destroyer!”
Posted by tim maguire on 2006 02 13 at 02:05 PM • permalinkGotta say this puts Cheney’s “accident” with the shotgun in perspective. Nobody’s going to be asking about Fudgepack Mountain at White House press conferences for a long time now.
Way to go, Whittington, take one for the team!
