Richard Dreyfuss just might be senile or crazy or some such - but probably not. At a certain age you don't give a shit what anyone thinks of you. At that point, a lot of truth comes out, doesn't it.
The fact that this trans business is a sacred cow for the Dems tells you everything you need to know about the modern Dem party.
Trans women are women. Hot dogs are dogs.
Well of course the theatre apologized. We can’t have people expressing opinions that differ from the established narratives…
Looks like he triggered all the right people, then. Nice to see he's still got it.
Blood in the water?
"Hooper drives the boat, Chief"
Barbara Striesand is a genius? Okey dokey.
The power of the press. Anything crazy can be treated as normal. And anything normal treated as crazy. The most interesting thing about "jaws" is that Speilberg turned down Heston's offer star as the Sheriff. Spielberg wanted to make more $$ for himself, so he cast the much cheaper roy snieder. Too bad, it would've been better with Heston's star power in the role.
Sexist as in class-disordered ideologue. Transphobic as in fear or hate that others will not celebrate divergent sex-correlated attributes in parades. Transsocial as in males mocking females and vice-versa.
Transhumanist as in progressive cult as in Pro-Choice religion. A smorgasbord of projections, displacements in psycho-atric professions.
The outrage is justified!
Streisand a genius?!
He's gone to far!
Roy Scheider, RC.
S-C-H-E-I-D-E-R
What are we even talking about here?
Nobody actually defends this trans bullshit. This is such an obvious ploy to just tear apart the social fabric of the country.
Nobody wants men in girls sports. They are just trying to humiliate people who still support this regime and support this agenda in general.
If you are a Biden supporter the joke is on you. Even the people bankrolling your stupid tribe hate you.
Republican voters figured out the GOP hated them a long time ago. They have you supporting wars now you cretins.
There is something Streisand going on, effectively.
A smorgasbord of projections, displacements in psycho-atric professions... confessions.
social media suggests, how about you actually record what he said, I know crazy right,
BTW, i like Richard Dryfuss. He was a good character actor. Excellent in American Graffitti and did a suprisingly good job voicing Stephen Douglas in an audio recording of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. But...
His stint as a "Leading man" in the 70s and 80s was absurd. But he was Stephen Speilberg's buddy so he got a lot of roles he shouldn't have been cast in. LAT also miscast him as General Bourgoyne in G.B. Shaw's play Devil's Disciple. Absolutely horrible. Funniest thing about him was Belushi's parody/comedic attack on him on SNL.
Always fun to watch a human being break out of he cage.
How to say I've retired from Hollywood without saying I've retired from Hollywood.
Probably should have saved that routine for a Goodbye Girl retrospective. My favorite Dreyfus performance. When your co-star gets an Oscar, you've done something right.
Love folks on both sides of the aisle that are in their F-U stage of life : )
he sees his craft, his lifework going to pieces, not to use another word,
will art get better, no it gets more polemical and pedestrian,
Hey, Richard, dunnn-dunnn dunnn-dunnn dunnn-dunnn dunnn-dunnn they'll be coming for you.
nearly 50 years ago, yikes, jaws started the summer box office, dreyfuss was a relatively minor players, well something have to come to an end
I'm not sure. Does wearing a house dress and wagging your hips suggestively subvert or intensify an anti-trans rant? You don't see many men carrying walking sticks nowadays. That's an item that's gone out of fashion, but maybe he's on the cutting edge of a new trend. It doesn't accessorize well with a house dress though. I'd go more with a Chanel suit.....There aren't many--or, for that matter, any--Hollywood celebrities who are willing to speak out against trans surgery for minors. Richard Dreyfuss is not the ideal spokesman for such a cause, but be happy you found one....He could bring something to the part of King Lear. Eliot Page, who's hard to cast, would be interesting as The Fool.
Thou shalt not take the name of Trans in vain.
Dreyfuss spent years frying his brain with Timothy Leary.
Do we need this type of nutcase to "move the Overton Window," or do they do more harm than good?
Political question of the times. Remember, our nutcases are vaporized: their nutcases are weaponized.
It's definitely not good for the nutcases.
He's voicing things I find to be true.
But he's a frickin' actor so my panties stay both unwadded and unwet.
OCEAN,
Disagree. The sheriff was the audience stand-in. A bigger star would have spoiled that.
the truth hurts.
Dreyfuss has been behaving this way for years -- against women. You're just reading about it because he maligned transgender activists.
Everything happening now has its legal origin in the decision to quietly exclude real women but count transgenders as women in hate crime laws. If you want any of this to go away, you need hate crime laws to go away.
And nobody has the political will to do that. So women will continue to be disappeared from womanhood itself, and the young, vulnerable ones will continue to mutilate their own bodies in the hope of reaching some gender authenticity validated by society.
Either the shark comes from them from below while the audience is watching their boobs bob in the water (Jaws), or they're cutting off their own body parts (World According to Garp, Ellen Jamesian Society).
It is the early Seventies again in America. Just the bad parts.
The Dreyfuss Affair. He's guilty of treason!
I know someone who had tickets. I'll have to ask about it.

Also, the Chief was afraid of the water.
Charlton Heston -- the Red Sea parting Moses -- afraid of water?
I don't think so.
"Charlton Heston -- the Red Sea parting Moses -- afraid of water?"
Well he didn't swim in it. He mad eit so he could walk on dry land. That's pro-level phobia there.
He did a wonderful segment with Tucker Carlson years ago. Amazing bit of television (I watched it live). TC was obviously prepared for a battle, but then Dreyfus just spoke about some project of his to get schools to teach standard civics again -- how government works, how to influence it, talk about it, etc. Perfectly sensible. TC just kind of sat there with an amazed/confused look on his face and let him talk.
How transphobic can you be if you wear a dress?!
"Transphobic."
oh do F off... leftists. Babies. You want trannies everywhere - but you cannot take the heat.... or a joke.
I'll wait for an actual unedited recording or video before getting all worked up. Even then I probably won't care.
Does this dress make my cock look big?
In a strange bit of serendipitous synchronicity, I had just watched someone online whose site is new to me covering the event and the reaction--mostly the groveling apology issued by the theater for allowing free expression of opinions at variance with PC guidelines.
American Graffiti should be taught in every school as an example of America's Baby Boomer life in an agricultural valley in the 1950s. Dreyfuss gets it.
"American Graffiti should be taught in every school as an example of America's Baby Boomer life in an agricultural valley in the 1950s."
The film was set in 1962. High school graduates that year would have been born in 1944 or 1945. The Baby Boom generation started in 1946.
Just sayin'. :)
IF that's true, I think Spielberg made the right choice in not casting Heston. He was a very good actor and film star, but I think the movie could have gone off the rails with Robert Shaw and Charlton Heston occupying two of the three principal roles (not that Dreyfuss wasn't also prone to a degree of freneticism in his performances of that era). Scheider's relative calm demeanor made the movie more believable.
"Dreyfuss has been behaving this way for years -- against women."
How so? Just curious.
In case anyone missed it, and to elaborate on narciso's comment, none of those quotes are from Dreyfuss.
Cocaine will do that to your brain.
they don't actually quote him, when they say 'suggests' it means they made it up,
now mutilating children or poisoning their bodies that is real,
Richard Dreyfuss was actually pretty good as Alexander Haig in the movie, The Day Reagan was Shot.
The most interesting thing about "jaws" is that Speilberg turned down Heston's offer star as the Sheriff.
That's the most interesting thing about Jaws?
Spielberg wanted to make more $$ for himself, so he cast the much cheaper roy snieder.
He was a director, not a producer. Saving money on an actor would not mean more money for himself. Such a decision would only save money for the studio and/or the production company.
Too bad, it would've been better with Heston's star power in the role.
The sheriff was scared of the water. You want Charlton Heston to say, "We need a bigger boat"?
BTW, i like Richard Dryfuss. He was a good character actor. Excellent in American Graffitti and did a suprisingly good job voicing Stephen Douglas in an audio recording of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. But...
His stint as a "Leading man" in the 70s and 80s was absurd.
Let It Ride is fantastic, so funny.
I also really enjoyed Stakeout, one of the best buddy cop movies I've ever seen. And it has a comic riff on Rear Window.
Mr. Holland's Opus is pretty good, too. I think Dreyfuss had a nice, productive career. And his best work was in the 80's and 90's, not the 70's.
Robert Shaw was probably the star, sadly he was close to dying, Scheider had made it big in French Connections and the SEven Ups, but after that, yes the sheriff was a cipher, as I recall,
"At a certain age you don't give a shit what anyone thinks of you. At that point, a lot of truth comes out, doesn't it."
And it also helps to have FU money like Elon Musk does.
I hated Close Encounters, by the way. Arguably the worst dad in cinematic history. (Not Dreyfuss' fault).
Spielberg's early sci-fi is all about the family unit.
Close Encounters: Bad Dad
Poltergeist: Great Dad
E.T.: No Dad
Well, I came to poke RCOCEAN II about his Roy Scheider take, but I see everyone else has that covered, so...
His stint as a "Leading man" in the 70s and 80s was absurd. But he was Stephen Speilberg's buddy so he got a lot of roles he shouldn't have been cast in.
Dreyfuss won the Best Actor Oscar for The Goodbye Girl, so maybe not that absurd.
RCO, you keep right on truckin'. Remember, everyone else is wrong.
They apologized to the audience ? Ha, of course they did. It can be traumatic when you're told the truth about trans and other woke bullshit. It should leave a bad taste in your mouth. And, if you have a lick of common sense, no therapy will be required. Just pull your head out of your ass for christ sakes. Good grief.
One of my favorite Dreyfus: What about Bob?
Dreyfus is so much like the Pope!
"One of my favorite Dreyfus: What about Bob?"
There aren't many movies I hate and I hated that one. Different strokes...
"Old man speaks truth. World comes with torches and pitchforks."
Richard Dreyfuss sang a torch song atop an accompanying upright piano, on SNL back in May 1978. "I Wanna Be Seduced" was a memorable song. In online photos google shows him wearing pants with suspenders and a shirt, but I remember a feather boa being introduced sometime during the song. The point is, there is nothing new under the sun. This act of his, being outrageous in a musical setting, has been performed before this Swiftie rewrite of it.
