- scarwars, on 09/06/2008, -4/+26dude. you had kim basinger.. you have no right to sob.
- active1x0, on 09/07/2008, -3/+24In a story about Alec Baldwin, there are no highlights.
- SPThom, on 09/07/2008, -0/+17I always thought Alec Baldwin was a pretentious douche, but after reading that article, I wonder if it's actually a clinical condition.
- panic, on 09/07/2008, -0/+16My step dad's father was an extra on a movie with Alec Baldwin. He told me he was the biggest prick he ever saw. When someone brought him a bottle of water that was already opened (because he had been drinking it earlier) he yelled at him.
- aethelberga, on 09/06/2008, -0/+14Some people don't know they're born. Honestly though, he sounds like he'd be like this even if he was a truck driver.
- kodax, on 09/07/2008, -0/+12I remember watching him in Glengary and being stunned by that monologue. Even after that excellent movie ended, it was the monologue that stuck with me despite Al Pacino, Lemon, Price, Harris, Spacey and Arkin. His career has been spotted with a few mediocre turns but he has been consistently good and sometimes great. It seems fitting that in this stage of his career he has become once again a character actor as he was when he first started out..completely unrecognizable from Beetlejuice to Miami Blues.
The one takeaway from this article is how much a divorce can take a man down. There needs to be some kind of reform or men need to stop getting married. - megarobotguy, on 09/07/2008, -0/+10It's 9 pages but here you go all in one page.
http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/09/08/0809 ... - QuestVR, on 09/07/2008, -0/+10when I was in the Navy and he was on my ship for pearl harbor, he was standing around doing nothing and I approached him to meet him and he waved me away with some kind of grunt... lol
- jayrok, on 09/07/2008, -0/+8How can one mother birth so many pompous idiots?
- Mpwns, on 09/07/2008, -0/+8why do you make them?
- codyman, on 09/07/2008, -1/+8The Baldwins are a bunch of douches... who keeps a douche? toss that ***** away
- Ghostalker, on 09/07/2008, -0/+7Someone tell him to shutup already.
- peestandingup, on 09/07/2008, -3/+10The Baldwins have got to go.
Where's a Canadian air-strike when you need it? - active1x0, on 09/07/2008, -2/+9"Relentlessly self-critical, Baldwin says, 'I don’t think I really have a talent for movie acting.'"
Look, he finally managed to say something intelligent! - whalt, on 09/07/2008, -1/+7Sorry to disagree with all you killjoys but I really enjoyed this. I especially loved his one sentence take down of Grey's Anatomy. So what if he's a douchebag? He manages to be a more entertaining and interesting than most digg posters who, admit it, are also douchebags. Go rent Glen Gary Glennross. "You think I'm ***** with you? I am not ***** with you."
- darthb, on 09/07/2008, -1/+7Jeebus dude, get over yourself.
- wally4711, on 09/07/2008, -1/+7Alec, I thought you were dead!
- theOster, on 09/07/2008, -0/+6Baldwin has rather courtly manners. He told me, “Once, I almost choked to death on a piece of broccoli at Orso”—a restaurant in midtown. “So loath was I to inconvenience everybody else that I ran down the stairs to the men’s room, so they wouldn’t have to see me choke to death. So I wouldn’t disturb their conversation. Literally.”
Baldwin left a voice mail on his daughter’s cell phone. “I am tired of playing this game with you,” he said, and his voice rose to a shout. “I’m leaving this message with you to tell you that you have insulted me for the last time.” She had made him “feel like *****,” he said, adding, “You’ve made me feel like a fool over and over and over again.” He referred to Basinger as a “thoughtless pain in the ass” and to Ireland as a “rude, thoughtless little pig.”
a woman shouted at Baldwin, “Why don’t you call your ***** daughter, you ***** *****?”
“When the tape came out, I wanted to die,” Baldwin said. “I wanted to die, literally. I didn’t want to live anymore.
She thinks I’m going to throw her off this cliff!
“Typical drug-addict, alcoholic, ***** look on his face. He was, ‘O.K., what? What? You’re chasing me. What?’ This nineteen-year-old kid, his eyes blazing. I’m thinking, I’m going to come over there and knock your teeth down your ***** throat just because you’re asking me ‘What?’
“What? Speak more clearly, I can’t hear you. He said what? Satellite broadcast goes where? I’ll look at that. What else? O.K. Take a deep breath. I don’t know what you’re talking about. What does their letter say? O.K. What else? O.K. What else? O.K. What else?” - inactive, on 09/07/2008, -0/+6I cant even read the story because it sounds so disgusting. He was given more opportunity then 99.9999% of people on earth. WTF else do you want. Just be happy you don't have to hop the boarder to work 60 hours a week at McDonalds. (And we all know that's not the worst either)
- thedaylights, on 09/07/2008, -0/+6Kudos for actually trying to give him the highlights instead of just saying "read the ***** article you illiterate child of youtube".
- BBWolf, on 09/07/2008, -1/+6A small truth is that no matter how hot a woman is, someone, somewhere is tired of her *****.
and yes, the male parallel is also true. - solid12345, on 09/07/2008, -1/+5Oh shut up Alec, it could be worse, you could be Joe Pesci who won an Oscar for Goodfellas and then went on to do Home Alone and Gone Fishin' and he hasn't been seen since.
- gage006, on 09/07/2008, -6/+10As long as there's more 30 Rock, I really don't care.
- salinungatha, on 09/07/2008, -1/+5Alec I totally understand you wanting to be Adam Baldwin. I'd want the Firefly or Full Metal Jacket cachet too.
But you're not even related. - IronChef69, on 09/07/2008, -2/+6But Awec Bahwin is the greatest actgor in the world! Kim Jong-Il understood.
- PapaKin, on 09/07/2008, -0/+3Sounds like most of you didn't read beyond the first page.
I absolutely loved this piece. I am by no means an Alec Baldwin fan, but I found this to be one excellent read. Go figure. - inactive, on 09/07/2008, -1/+4It is my hypothesis, based on the available evidence subject to scientific double blind testing and peer review, that Alec Baldwin is a ***** *****.
- BBWolf, on 09/07/2008, -0/+3I thought he moved to france.
- SpamBurger, on 09/07/2008, -1/+4Alot of his movies do suck but his work on SNL over the years redeem him to me.
"All i know about the Chinese is they're about 4 feet tall, there's about a billion of 'em and the women have sideways vagina's." - stellamaris, on 09/07/2008, -1/+3This is why I love Alec Baldwin - he's genuinely, certifiably crazy.
- Zuljin, on 09/07/2008, -2/+4He's famous and has the best voice ever. Most people don't get one of those.
- Monkeywithacold, on 09/07/2008, -3/+5this is the weirdest article to make the front page ever.
maybe not ever. - bucketofeels, on 09/07/2008, -1/+3Nine pages of that article remind me of the chapters in American Psycho where Bateman just goes off on his tedious interminable monologues about music for page after page. It all just blurs together after a while and gives you a headache just trying to focus on the words on the page. Meaningless, self-involved and dull, ***** off Alec Baldwin.
- worseforwine, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2Can someone get me two coffee cups?
- trandspotter, on 09/07/2008, -0/+2Me too.
- cuoops, on 09/07/2008, -1/+3Schwetty Balls
- smek2, on 09/07/2008, -0/+2That poor sob. Now I'm glad i have to live on a student loan and standing on a theaters stage without pay, just for the fun of it.
- saigumi, on 09/07/2008, -2/+4Didn't he say that he'd move to Canada if Bush was elected in 2004?
Perhaps if he had some more freaking follow-through, he'd have gotten what he wanted. Not just the pomp and pose crap. - thedaylights, on 09/07/2008, -2/+3Yes and no. Think about it from his perspective - does he want weird water from a stranger? And does he want to talk to random fans all the time? Maybe he was tired.
- nielsforpokker, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1Never really been a Baldwin fan until 30 Rock. To me he makes that show. I'll check out Glen Gary Glennross.
But wow does he seem scarred by that divorce. Therapy needed. - mousky, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1You mean we are supposed to click on the link and read the story? This is Digg. We comment before thinking.
- inactive, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1Idiot blew off Kim Basinger.
end of subject - Spoomeister, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1Alec: You gave us GlenGarry GlenRoss, The Hunt for Red October, and your schweaty balls. You've had a good run. Anything else you manage from here is bonus. Stop being greedy.
- worseforwine, on 09/08/2008, -0/+1Ugh I know actors are totally just liars. I saw this movie Funny Games and it turns out those people didn't even really die! Just faked it! Its crazy is what it is.
- KegBol, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1All the Baldwins are dead? :0o
- cryonix, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1Wow. Right now I don't have the patience to read 9 pages about how bad Alec Baldwin has it.
- shiftless, on 09/08/2008, -0/+1Christ... lets see if WordFlashReader t 900 WPM will hold my attention... God, 20 minutes even at that speed and I only got through 5 minutes...
- harry8227, on 09/08/2008, -0/+0He couldnt handle it
