allright. pushy.
Wayne Gretzky had his "Wayne Gretzky Fantasy Camp" out in LA and I was out there doing some training for work. They were all staying in the hotel where I spent all day traning. So when my day was done, they were all either returning from the camp (sweaty!) or were going out for dinner (dressed up and smellin' good!--i'm a guy who can appreciate a good scent, thank you very much and not feel weird sayin it). so anyways I saw Gretzky downstairs a coupla times--there were about 10 hockey pros who hung out alot. here's a list i found on the WGFC site: "Larry Robinson, Paul Coffey, Russ Courtnall, Geoff Courtnall, Jim Fox, Ed Mio, Kirk Muller, Walter Gretzky, and Camp Director Cap Raeder." http://www.sports-adventures.com/htmls/gretzky.htm
most of these guys seemed really short to me...i kept picturing really tall burly hockey guys with no teeth and stuff :)
there, now don't yell at me and go back to being sweet please. |

Fantasy camp, indeed! I am so jealous and happy for you!
Here is my litmus test with a person:
Should The Greatest have kept playing when Janet Jones
had that wee concussion when she got hit by the boards?
Answer honestly.

yes, she's ok now and they're still together, right? now, it's not what I would've done but i'm not the greatest.
whatever she felt about it is between him and her. so it doesn't matter what I think.
but i do hope i've passed your test. i can cook very well, if that helps |

Not only SP is one of my favorite actors, but I love, no, I ADMIRE the 3 movies he directed, especially 'The Indian Runner', which is still one of the best films I've ever seen.

tobafett, I'll be with you in a sec. First, I have to jump up and down and
squeal and give Carolynanna a virtual hug. Omigod! Canadian citizenship, the
one thing I covet more than McDave. I'll do whatever needs to be done,
Carolyn. I might even consider changing my stance on maple syrup.
OK. Deep breath.
tobafett, maybe I am being dense but I don't understand your answer. My question
was, should Gretzky have continued to play, which he did, after his wife
was knocked out?
Let's cut to the chase. My feeling has always been this. Hell yes, he
should not have gotten off the ice. The man is a hockey player (not just
a hockey player, the greatest) he is not a doctor. What good would it
have done for him to get off the ice and make sure his wife was
still alive. There was hockey to be played.
Are you with me, t?

yup. wit-ya.
sry to be confusing and dense. I answered "yes" meaning i think he was right to keep playing. I would've gotten off of the ice but i'm not Gretzky. If i were WG, i woulda played through it.
so, i agree wit-ya.
now, what is the problem with maple syrup? |

on this planet, I will not be entering into the
maple syrup discussion at this time. Thank you.

It's my pet theory that all actors are stupid. Especially the good, diverse actors.
If you're smart, you probably have a strong personality of your own and can't bear to seriously act out a bunch of crap written down by somebody else. If you're dumb, your personality is a lot more malleable and you're more likely to do a good job of playing, say, a retarded man with a heart of gold.
The Academy Awards prove my point every time I watch them. I can't bear listening to these people talk. The best Oscar acceptance speech from an actor was when Joe Pesci won for, I think, Goodfellas. His entire speech: "Thank you" (or maybe it was "thanks") and then he exited the stage. He also plays the same character in every movie. I bet he's smarter than Sean Penn. |

| A little over a year ago I did a week's run with a Jim Henson show at the Kodak theatre, so now whenever I see something from the Oscars, all I can think about is how I made it a point to sit in as many of the seats in the audience as I could so I could say my ass shared the same ass space with a ton of famous actors. Other than that I don't watch the Oscars for much. I guess I missed whatever Mr. Penn had to say. Though I'll say that he has a tendency to rub me the wrong way whenever he's not acting. I have a degree in theatre and take acting rather seriously, and I'm embarassed whenever I see somebody famous for acting using their fame to force his/her beliefs upon any microphone or camera pointed at them, despite the good chance that this person is not qualified for such discourse, nor is it his/her responsibility. Although, at the same time, I guess I can't blame them. As actors, it's not only our job, but it's very natural for us to repeat outloud things that we read. The problem is that many actors confuse newspapers with scripts and screenplays. I should find the transcript of whatever Mr. Penn said, since I seem to be passing judgement right now. Shouldn't I? |

Chris Rock even made fun of himself in the bit...
Rock infuriates Penn about Law:
[Hollywood News]: Los Angeles, March 2 : Oscars host Chris Rock reportedly infuriated "Mystic River" star Sean Penn when he allegedly doubted the acting ability of Penn's latest co-star Jude Law.
During Sunday night's Academy Awards presentations, comedian Rock placed "Closer" star Law as a "second choice" for casting agents after Tom Cruise, reported Internet Media Database.
Rock said: "You want Tom Cruise and all you can get is Jude Law? Wait. You want Russell Crowe and all you can get is Colin Farrell? Wait. 'Alexander' is not 'Gladiator'. You want Denzel Washington and all you can get is me."
When Penn arrived onstage to present the Best Actress trophy to Hilary Swank, he took time off to defend Law, his co-star in the currently-being-shot "All The King's Men" by saying: "Jude is one of our finest actors."
Rock, who reportedly had a disagreement with Penn backstage, said: "Sean said because he's working with Jude on a movie right now, he felt the need to...I don't know. It's kind of funny." |

He took the piss out of himself though too. He was clearly kidding. Penn reacted for no reason it would seem.
Anyway, whatever. |

Great post, Jason. I remember Joe Pesci's mercifully short
speech. I think most actors are by definition self-centered.
Prozacrat, I love the image of you sitting in every one of those
seats. Funny!

interesting theory jason. i don't know if i agree that all actors are stupid. but i think most actors (and actresses) are crazy. i steer way clear of dating actresses. plus, if you're dating a good actress, how can you ever know if they're being real or not? if i was going to date an actress, she'd have to be a bad actress. but hot.
yeah, some of those speeches are out of hand. Halle Berry's.. i mean, it was heartfelt and all, but bottom line is, you're just an actor.
i loved that line in THE AVIATOR when Leonardo DiCaprio says something like, "you don't talk down to me! you're just a MOVIE STAR!"
