So I guess he killed Mufassa to keep him from marrying Simba.

"You're KILLING me for not getting a good Sunny von Bulow reference! "

LOL! Sorry, SonofRobbieJ. I said I wasn't much of a fan.

Is SonofR the only person you should be apologizing to, ghost?

Good point. Here goes:

Jeremy Irons, I'm sorry I haven't seen everything that you've ever done and memorized every line that you've recorded.

Okay, first: my "sounds kinda hot" was in jest. Sorry I didnt make that clear.

But to return to the subject at hand, I guess this is another example of Celebrity 1 saying something to tick off the TPers (like Jim Carrey) and their inevitable response of "Well, he's just some actor! What does he know?") versus Celebrity 2, who says something that agrees with their mindless agenda and therefore must be made a media hero, I dont know how much play this interview is getting in the States, but I can see some GOP members of Congress practically wetting themselves in enjoyment.

And let's not even consider that ol' Hollywood whore who played Moses and then became a shill for the NRA.

Of course, when you have such famous people like Honey Boo Boo saying gay marriage is okay, it makes you wonder where the rabid conservatives are gonna get the celebs they need to flag their cause?

Clowns need to say anything to promote the new season of a show that no one watches and gets no buzz.

Best thing is to NOT mnetion the show.

"Okay, first: my "sounds kinda hot" was in jest."

As, of course, was my "apology" to RobbieJ and Jeremy Irons. I don't watch much tv or go to many movies, so the off-topic quotes made no sense to me.

I didn't know until opening this thread and watching the clip that Irons was such a serious Libertarian. I find them far more dangerous than Republicans.

Well, that shiz backfired. I actually was still watching The Borgias and I am done.

What sort of libertarian is so worried about restricting the right of individuals to secure their homes?

A response. That just digs the hole deeper.

I wonder which one he'll marry?

That Maximilian is hot!

Why are people so willing to make excuses for bigotry when it comes to homosexuality? He should just be an entertainer and not have an opinion? Would we be so willing to look past the bigotry and enjoy his entertaining if these were racists rants he went on?

The overly overt ignorance towards homosexuals and homosexuality seems to always get the brush in the media and I find it so disheartening. Mel Gibson has yet to get out from his shadow of idiotic and racist rants (and personally, I hope he never does). Homophobes should be held to that same standard.

Sorry, soap box be gone ...

I think it's partly because with homophobia it's not so black and white--at least in the media. Irons never said he was against people being gay. I personally think what he said is the equivalent in all legal aspects, but... And plus he has the "I played gay--or kinda" card in his favour. (All of which puts him in a better situation than Lampanelli...)

I just can't grasp the whole incest thing. Incest is not about procreating. It's just gross and not normal, whether or not you can procreate.

Not if the dad is a leather breeches-wearing, motorcyle-riding highway patrolman who is worried about his shy 17 year old son's lack of confidence and who brings his son to a poker party he's having with his buddies to make the son feel better about himself.

"I just can't grasp the whole incest thing. Incest is not about procreating. It's just gross and not normal, whether or not you can procreate."

According to the Bible, Adam and Eve were the only Humans when they magically appeared, fully formed and full of hormones, because the first thing they do is start poppin' out babies. The Bible doesn't mention (at least to my recollection) any other Humans in the Garden. What else are they gonna do except make sweet passionate love to each other? Whether it's Mom/Son or Dad/Daughter or Brother/Sister, it isn't clear, but somehow, they had to screw each other.

This isn't a dig at your specifically, Stockard, because I agree with you. I think the above is the best argument for why incest should be legal, because, to quote, "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!"

Fun fact: an early iteration of Children of Eden was called Children of Incest.
