[kj] OT Boycott the film Tropic Thunder

[Karen Weil]

Agree with you about "Marie Antoinette," totally. I enjoyed "Lost in 
Translation," though.  I don't believe she deserved to win the Oscar for the 
script, however.
(But hey, look who her daddy is, after all -- Hollyweird and nepotism go 
hand-in-hand!)
