I don't get why Chris Rock would say that about Tim Robbins....
I thought Chris is a liberal also??

[redqueen]

1. 'Twas just a joke.

See Tim smiling? :D

[Tektonik]

2. Chris made a joke, so lighten up.

:)

[GOPBasher]

3. I think Chris Rock is generally moderate, but in this case, he was just

making fun of everyone on both sides. He was neutral. He made fun of Bush a lot.

4. Great pic of Robbins giving Rock the finger!

LOL!!!

[kerrywins]

6. yea!!

I missed that when I was watching!!!
:)

[ThorsHammer]

5. I'm pretty sure Chris is far from a neocon......

I also think that Tim took it in good fun, and was able to laugh it off and not make a big deal about it. I've always liked Chris, and IMO he'll poke fun at anyone.

[kerrywins]

7. tim gave chris the finger

so he had to be somewhat bothered by it...
just like sean penn....

[ThorsHammer]

13. True

He obviously wasn't pleased, but he was also the bigger man and didn't whine or scream about it. He probably thought something like 'that's just Chris being Chris'

[redqueen]

18. While smiling. Tim's a funny guy, too.

If he was mad he would have whined like Sean. :eyes:

[kerrywins]

21. ...

38. Oh Please

can you see the look on Tim Robbins face? He was joking back.


Haven't you ever flipped someone off joking with them?

Plus IF Tim Robbins was pissed he has enough sense to NOT engage onstage with Chris Rock.


it was a JOKE on both sides.

[immoderate]

8. Did you ever try to talk politics with your apolitcal friends?

What do they say?

--IMM

[kerrywins]

10. they'll listen

they are open minded...

[aden_nak]

9. "Some shit I'm liberal about, and I got some shit I'm conservative about."

- Chris Rock, last HBO special

[kerrywins]

11. yea...but

I think overall...when it comes down to it....he votes democrat.

[aden_nak]

15. Oh, I absolutely agree.

And I think he has some major misgivings about the NeoCons. He slapped Bush around quite a bit during that show. :P

[xmas74]

12. It was an awards show

and he was making a joke. Robbins is known for speaking about politics at any time and at any place. I think that the comment was made in good fun, nothing more. I didn't think anything of it until Penn.

[kerrywins]

14. i'm actually glad penn said something

because chris's joke about jude law would only have been funny if jude law wasn't a badass....
and we all know...jude law is a badass.....more so now...then tom cruise...
so the joke made no sense...

[xmas74]

16. My problem is that

Penn takes things too seriously. He always has, but Tim Robbins has a sense of humor. He knows what people say about him and he is proud of it.
Even in the pic, Robbins is smiling while he flips the bird. I have had friends make a joke toward me and I have flipped them the bird while laughing at the same time. I thought that they looked like they were joking around.

[Hobarticus]

17. I agree, Rock was kidding, and so was Robbins...

Penn's wound a little too tight, sometimes. Great actor, great activist, but I thought his comment sounded rather petulant and pouty.

[xmas74]

20. True.

And Robbins has a history of hijacking the awards shows. I love to hear him talk about different issues and I could listen to him all day long. But people complain about how long the shows are already-and anything past "And the award is presented to..." can be too much.

[redqueen]

19. IMO Penn made an ass of himself. n/t

[northzax]

23. I agree, he looked like a mean, overserious drunk

and no one likes those types.

[northzax]

22. jude law is an acting whore

not that there's anything wrong with that, but he is in everything under the sun. And they all bomb. Maybe if he'd spend more time on one movie, Alfie would have been watchable?

you know the single worst feature of political junkies? the inability to laugh at oneself. Don't take it too personally, you'll live longer.

[kerrywins]

24. jealous...

he's an incredible actor....

[northzax]

25. everyone is entitled to their own opinion

I certainly think he has potential, but the great actors cannot simply do 10 roles a year. You cannot put the effort into each role. Picasso was a great painter, but if he was whipping out large canvasses at the rate of one a week, his work would suffer, don't you think?

[kerrywins]

26. stop being jealous

he's an incredible actor.

[northzax]

40. that would explain all his awards

and the huge box office every movie does, now I get it.


but it is nice to see his name mentioned at the Oscars.

[CatWoman]

27. it appears that you, like most of the Right Wing

are working furiously trying to make absofuckinglutely nothing into absofuckinglutely something.

sometimes things are actually like they appear -- as in your rear view mirror.

[ronnykmarshall]

28. Thank you Cat!

I can't believe this shit is still being talked about. Tim was cracking up when he came out on stage. HE gets it. Too bad some people don't.

[CatWoman]

31. *smooch*

Have I told you lately that I love you???

:hi:

[ronnykmarshall]

Back at ya!!!

:loveya:

[fishwax]

29. Get real

and get over it. It was a joke, and it seems to me that Tim Robbins took it in stride and was laughing about it. It looks to me like, judging from his expression, flipping the bird at Chris Rock was a playful response.

[RevolutionaryActs]

30. I most agree.

:hi:

[kerrywins]

32. aren't I "keeping it real"?

....

[WI_DEM]

33. Chris is a comedian

so he makes jokes. Didn't you hear what he said about Bush? Even Tim Robbins was smiling when he walked out after Chris' quip.

[kerrywins]

34. what if he was just trying to "save face"...

[CatWoman]

35. pretty much what you are trying to do

huh?

[kerrywins]

36. u take this so personally

y?

[CatWoman]

37. I take all dumb shit personally

nothing against you.

[Bridget Burke]

39. Chris had to make at least one joke about a Hollywood Liberal....

Since he slammed Bush for several minutes. The show was rather tame, by his standards.

And--Tim Robbins was smiling!
