Yeah, remember here in California, people voted "The Terminator" into the office of governor. And when I was a kid, I remember hearing one adult say she was voting for Ronald Reagan for governor because he always played such nice guys in movies and she was sure he was just like that! Even as a kid, I was appalled.

Many people REALLY think Bruce Willis is a tough guy you'd want to have on your side in a pinch. NOT! They think Julie Andrews really is singing right then and there on that Austrian hill side during a helicopter shot. Uh huh. Hell they think that really is an Austrian hill side! And I love those "behind the scenes" and "Making of" featurettes on DVDs....as if they're true! No... they are films too! Nothing on film is real. Not even reality TV! Hell, we've got a president who won't listen to Science on global warming, but invites Michael Crichton to the White House to discuss his stupid little work of fiction "State of Fear"! _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
