I may have to turn Democrat, if only for the TV shows

    Alas, I meant that my dislike of him had nothing to do with politics. Easy, man I love Ludivine too. And plus, I like plenty of Republican actors: Bruce Willis, Nick Searcy (who did that Herman Cain ad), the late Noble Willingham ran as a Republican for Congress.

    I stand by Fillion's smugness.

    That's cool... I just remember a friend of mine who stopped watching Everybody Loves Raymond because he found out Patricia Heaton is an outspoken conservative. I just don't understand that kind of thinking... My movie and music collection would take a colossal hit if I stopped watching or listening to people who I might disagree with politically... :D



    Fillion is smug. It's kind of his trademark.

    I never really watched "Raymond" (not for anything to do with Heaton) but I used to watch her show The Middle regularly when I had cable.

    And the novelist who wrote the funniest novel ever about journalism (Scoop)--Evelyn Waugh was a conservative.
     
  5. BTW - While Nathan Fillion is Canadian - he is not Conservative. I just made that up. He is actually very liberal. Electric cars are one of his passions.

    My penis is the size of Tasmania.

    Which one? Nathan or Adam?


    Edit: Never mind. I finished reading the rest of the posts and figured it out. Was he the pilot on Firefly? Or the captain? Seems they were all Canadian...

    Many years ago, I was drinking with my father, who is an arch-conservative. We were alternately listening to Irish folk music on record and I was playing the guitar and singing Irish and American folk songs.
    I taught him the refrain to a song, and he sang it with me. He thought it was beautiful.
    We sang it again and recorded it on a cassette.
    My father asked me who wrote it.
    It was 'Knocking on Heaven's Door', and I told him Bob Dylan wrote it.
    He immediately declared he didn't like that song.

    My mother told me later that he listened to the tape all the time when I wasn't around.



    (And for the record, my father can't carry a tune in a bucket.)

    He was Captain Mal Reynolds.
